PhD Yale University • MS Yale University
2+ Years Tutoring

I recently finished my PhD from Yale University, where I studied Developmental and Cognitive Psychology. Specifically, I have designed experiments to research how adults and children learn about complicated things like combustion engines, how lightning bugs light up, etc. I have years of experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate college students in 1-on-1 sessions and in classrooms as large as 500+ students. Outside of the classroom or the lab, however, I also spend time teaching through coaching. In my role as an assistant coach for the Yale Softball team I have coached student-athletes to be their best on and off the field, helping them to balance and achieve their individual goals. I am excited to be able to continue to teach here with Varsity Tutors!

BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago majoring in Classics and Theatre. However, my college uses the core curriculum and as a result, I've had a well-rounded, eclectic education covering everything from math to fine arts. I've won awards in community service, dance, and film, but most notably, 20 writing prizes before I reached eighteen. I was a National Merit Semi-Finalist in high school and I've had a passion for education and the art of learning since I was a child. I hope to instill in my students the love of amassing knowledge, excelling in your studies, and walking out of a test feeling like you rocked it. I especially had a passion for the Critical Reading and the Writing portions of the SAT's and the SAT 2 in Literature. I have teaching experience with everything from stand-up comedy to Emergency Medical Services to tap dancing, and I've been told that I am unmatched in my enthusiasm. In my free time, I like to perform sketch and improv comedy, dance, play the banjo, and volunteer in my local hospital.

I am an undergraduate student at Yale University. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology along with a certificate of advanced language in Spanish. I currently do research studying changes in stem cells and gene expression during different planarian physiological processes. I am extremely interested in biochemical and biophysical processes, closely tied to my interest in STEM courses and education. I have the most experience tutoring math, science, and Spanish, using my personal and current education with feedback from previous students to refine my approach. In high school I started a student success center during covid to provide free online tutoring, providing tutors in all subjects during set hours of the week. I work hard to create a comfortable environment to reduce the stresses and pressures of tutoring, not only allowing me to enhance my student's education but do so in a way that is most suited to their learning styles. I have gone through the college application process recently and would love to share my knowledge of standardized testing (study tips, general questions, and subject-specific tutoring), college preparation, and the application process. Outside of the classroom, I dance for Sabrosura (Yale's Premier Latin Dance team), explore what borders campus on walks and hikes, and love trying new foods and experiences.

I am a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a recipient of the IB Diploma. My academic background includes extensive experience in rigorous college level classes at the IB and Advanced Placement (AP) level. As a member of my school's math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta, I have volunteered my time at a local middle school to tutor students in different math levels from pre-Algebra to Geometry. I also absolutely love languages. Aside from being a native Spanish speaker, I have been studying Italian for the last four years and feel confident tutoring in these subjects. Another subject I enjoy tutoring is Standardized Testing, where I help high school students prepare for exams like the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. Preparing for these exams is crucial in order to achieve a good score, and I always make sure that my students are comfortable with both the format and the material on each exam. As a student, I know how important tutoring is, not only to improve grades but also to gain a better understanding of the material. Whenever I dedicate time to tutoring, I try to keep things engaging and fun. Motivation is definitely a key to success, and I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance any student can achieve their goals.

Eager for tutoring opportunities, I welcome any of you who wishes to undergo SAT/PSAT or ACT Test Preparation that will get you the scores you need for admission to the college of your choice. As for my experience, I have tutoring experience in both one-to-one settings, going as far back as high school, and group/classroom settings, especially from my 4 years of tutoring with Yale MATHCOUNTS. As a likely future graduate student myself, it is my general goal in life to continue the tradition of passing forth knowledge. Not surprisingly, I have always considered tutoring and education among the most noble of professions where both parties, student and teacher, benefit and learn. What makes me an excellent tutor? Over the course of my life I have had the good fortune of cultivating a variety and number of skill sets, some of which are academic and social in nature. While I certainly consider academic prowess important for the success of any instructor, I would say the most important skill set I have developed is that of adaptability. If a tutor can adapt him/herself to the mode and manner of thinking of another, the tutor, as well as the tutor's audience, will have especially effective and enriching transactions.

Yosef
PhD Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
8+ Years Tutoring

Hello, my name is Yosef and I would be happy to serve as a math tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better motivated when they have self-confidence, not when the task ahead seems frighteningly daunting. It is also important to recognize that different students learn best through different means. As an example, some students are visual learners and can understand the material best through pictures and gestures. Other students learn best through hearing the procedures vocalized, while still others learn best through writing out the steps of the solution procedure. I know to adapt my teaching style to the individual student. with these considerations in mind, I promise to provide the best assistance that I can, taking your individual needs into consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across New Britain's 19 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the New Britain school district or transfers in from elsewhere, we match them with tutors who understand Connecticut's academic standards and can support their specific learning needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1 in New Britain schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to fill gaps and accelerate learning. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who provide the individualized attention that classroom settings sometimes can't offer, helping students master challenging concepts and build confidence in their abilities.

Tutors working with New Britain students are familiar with Connecticut's curriculum frameworks and assessment expectations across core subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to align with grade-level standards and help students prepare for state assessments and district benchmarks.

The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss any specific areas of concern (whether it's keeping up with classwork, preparing for a test, or building foundational skills), and create a personalized plan moving forward.

New Britain students most often seek support in math (from elementary arithmetic through algebra and geometry), English language arts (reading comprehension and writing), and standardized test preparation. We also work with students on science, social studies, and foreign language support, depending on their grade level and academic goals.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing options to fit different budgets, with rates varying based on the tutor's expertise, subject, and frequency of sessions. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your student's needs and learn about pricing options that work for your family's situation.

Many students show improvement in understanding and confidence within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the student's starting point and goals. For students working toward specific milestones—like improving a grade, passing a test, or mastering a skill—tutors establish clear benchmarks to track progress and adjust instruction as needed.

Start by telling us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects they need help with. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who's a good fit, and you'll schedule an initial session to see how the tutoring relationship works for your student.
