Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Masters in International Educational Development. I graduated from Stetson University with my BA in 2017, and since then have worked in inner city schools. The last two years, I have taught Algebra and Geometry at a charter high school, while managing a math tutorial program within the school. I find great joy is setting students up for success and helping them achieve the utmost in school. I do not only focus on student academic performance, but also on their social-emotional well-being, so they may attain a positive mindset of their day-to-day learning. I have 10 years experience working with elementary kids, including assisting with homeschooling. However, I am more passionate about helping students understand higher levels of mathematics. I am a believer in quality education, that's why I make sure to create an engaging learning environment for my students.

Calculus Tutor • +44 Subjects
I am finishing up my first year at Princeton University, still undecided but leaning towards studying Sociology. I have experience working with pre-K students through adults in a variety of topics ranging from environmental education to conversational English practice. I spent a year in Indonesia working at a disability rights NGO and helping my adult coworkers as well as elementary school- and college-aged students develop English language skills. I am very passionate about educational equity, and want to assist all students in accessing strong educational resources. I am able to tutor a wide range of topics, from standardized test prep to English to elementary/middle school Math and more. I also play violin and can help students with music theory, composition and general violin skills as well.

Katherine
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a senior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania studying Finance and Operations & Information Management. I am an Executive Board Member of one of the largest community service groups on campus, the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project, so I have had plenty of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math in the Philadelphia area. Prior to my experience tutoring in Philadelphia, I ran an online writing program teaching essential writing skills to elementary school students and served as an Algebra I instructor at a local community center. I enjoy tutoring math up to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and editing essays (including college essays) because helping students build math foundations that will help them for the rest of their life is rewarding and I greatly enjoy editing essays! I have a very flexible tutoring style - I am approachable and willing to answer any questions related to the material. Hopefully, I can explain things as simply as possible so they stick. Outside of school, I enjoy piano, dancing, visiting museums, art, and discovering new foods and restaurants. Looking forward to tutoring!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from all three Monessen schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends elementary, middle, or high school in the district, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Pennsylvania academic standards.
While Monessen's 10.7:1 student-teacher ratio is solid, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides something classroom instruction can't: instruction customized entirely to your student's learning pace and style. This targeted approach helps students move beyond grade-level expectations, close specific knowledge gaps, or prepare for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT.
Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are familiar with Pennsylvania's academic standards and help students master the specific skills tested on state assessments. Whether your student needs support in math, reading, science, or other subjects, personalized instruction targets the standards most relevant to their grade level and goals.
Students in Monessen commonly seek help with math, English/language arts, and science—subjects that form the foundation for success in later coursework and standardized testing. We also connect students with tutors in test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams), algebra, chemistry, and other specialized areas based on individual needs.
During the first session, the tutor and student get to know each other and identify specific learning goals—whether that's improving a grade, building confidence, or preparing for an exam. The tutor assesses your student's current understanding and creates a personalized plan tailored to their strengths and areas for growth.
Many students notice improved understanding and confidence within the first few sessions, though the timeline depends on the subject and your student's starting point. Consistent, personalized instruction—combined with practice between sessions—typically leads to measurable grade improvements and stronger test performance within 4-8 weeks.
Varsity Tutors works around your family's schedule, offering sessions at times that fit your student's school day, extracurriculars, and other commitments. Whether your student needs weekday afternoon sessions, evening tutoring, or weekend support, we connect them with a tutor whose availability matches your needs.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We recommend contacting us to discuss your student's specific needs—we'll provide transparent pricing and help you find a tutoring plan that fits your budget while delivering the personalized instruction your student deserves.
