Samantha

Expert Tutor

As a Science Education major at UNC and a Museum Studies: Science Education Master's student at Harvard University, I have learned science and math at a high standard, but, more importantly, have been taught how to frame my knowledge in fun and easy to understand ways. Although I am extremely passionate about all forms of science and math, I have discovered that my true passion is in teaching. I want to not only help my students learn, but to actually get them excited about what they study and to find what they enjoy in school. After working as a subcontractor to NASA, I pursued further studies in science education while teaching middle school math. I have worked in the field of education for a decade and have tutored students from four years old to over eighty. Everyone has different ways of learning and I strive to cater to that. I have tutored, taught at the high school and college level, and worked as an educator at a planetarium and an aquarium. I am extremely dedicated to my students as I always want them to succeed as well as have fun with their education. I am excited to start learning together!

Shaan

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a current undergraduate student at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. I am pursuing a bachelor of science in engineering in mechanical engineering, a minor in computer science, and a certificate in innovation and entrepreneurship. As an engineer, I believe one of my greatest strengths is breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps that are easy to follow. I have an abundance of STEM tutoring experience through my high school's National Honors Society chapter and as a freelance tutor. Additionally, I have experience working with children as an instructor for Techsplorer's engineering camps/workshops and as a member of the YMCA Leader's Club. The subjects I enjoy teaching are Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, Trigonometry, Physics, and SAT/ACT Math and Science Prep. I believe that as a passionate younger college student, I am able to connect with students more effectively, as I was in their shoes not too long ago! Outside of school and teaching, I like to play Ultimate Frisbee, spend time with my dog, and work on personal engineering projects.

Corey

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a graduate of Duke University with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. I started tutoring in high school, working with Spanish-speaking ESL students in their native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.

Austin

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a senior college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I have experience working with elementary and middle school students, but am also prepared to tutor students at the high school level. I am proficient in writing, reading skills, composition, IB Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge tutoring, as well as philosophy and psychology. My favorite area of tutoring is, naturally, philosophy, given the analytical and logically focused virtue of that domain, though writing and reading skills are inherently tied to its practice, and I therefore also favor working with students in these areas. My main goal with students is to endow them with the skills necessary to excel in their chosen fields without the fears of lack of preparation or unfamiliarity with the given subject. I typically begin with a diagnostic overview of the students capabilities, and once their abilities have been assessed, continued with a targeted approach to augment their deficiencies and highlight their individual skills. Beyond academia, I love studying and playing Chess, Tennis, and Skiing, schedule permitting!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Chapel Hill's 9 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro or Durham public school districts, we match them with tutors who understand North Carolina's academic standards and can support their specific learning goals.

Chapel Hill students frequently seek support in math, science, and English—subjects that build foundational skills for success in advanced courses and standardized testing. We also work with students preparing for AP exams, SAT/ACT preparation, and support for students transitioning between grade levels where curriculum demands increase significantly.

Personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific NC standards your student is working toward, whether that's mastering grade-level benchmarks or preparing for state assessments. With Chapel Hill's 11.1:1 student-teacher ratio, one-on-one tutoring provides the targeted attention that helps students fill gaps and accelerate their learning in alignment with state expectations.

The first session is focused on understanding your student's strengths, challenges, and learning style. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss specific goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a subject—and create a personalized plan for ongoing sessions.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas, often including teachers, subject matter experts, and professionals with strong academic backgrounds. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver effective instruction aligned with Chapel Hill's educational standards and your student's specific needs.

Yes, personalized tutoring is designed around your student's schedule. Whether they're balancing school, extracurriculars, or other commitments, Varsity Tutors works with families to find session times that work. This flexibility means consistent support without adding stress to an already full week.

One-on-one instruction addresses the root of academic struggles by allowing a tutor to identify exactly where your student is getting stuck and adjust teaching methods to match their learning style. Rather than falling further behind in a classroom setting, personalized tutoring helps students catch up, rebuild confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed.

Absolutely. Tutors work with students at all levels, including those ready for advanced coursework, AP preparation, or enrichment beyond their current grade level. Personalized instruction allows advanced learners to move at their own pace, dive deeper into subjects they're passionate about, and prepare for competitive academic opportunities.
