Certified Tutor
Bethany
MS Duke University • BA University of California-Berkeley
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and Duke University. I received my Bachelor's degree in History and my Master's degree in Religious Studies. Since graduation I have tutored students in American History and Biblical Hebrew, which were exceedingly rewarding experiences. I am especially passionate in helping students learn to think critically, and enjoy the process of learning. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most enthusiastic about tutoring in History and Writing because these subjects utilize skills that students will use and cultivate throughout their lives and are applicable for many careers. I would describe my teaching philosophy as hands on and project-based learning. I strive to include fun and relevant videos, songs, and activities into my curriculum to ensure the engagement of my students. Outside of academia I like painting, baking, hiking, photography, and having game nights with friends.

4+ Years Tutoring

I am a certified EE Engineer. I received my master's degree in Electrical Engineering in 2019 from the University of Texas at Tyler with a focus in Power and Energy System. During my master's degree I worked as Teaching Assistant and Instructor. I mentored various years of undergrad students; mostly engineering courses such as circuit theory, electronic I & II, mathematics, and Power System. I tutored few students to pass their FE. Also, I taught 24 senior year undergrad students on two collegiate courses and conducted respective labs independently. Therefore, while tutoring/lecturing on a various courses, I am very passionate about all topics of mathematics, statistics, and all EE courses. Since graduation, I have involved heavily in industry. I mentored my two junior electrical engineer to pass their PE. I also mentor newly fresh college graduate to help them understanding the practical as well as technical aspects of engineering. I am a strong advocate of education, learning new things every day, believing it to be mandatory for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all my students. In my leisure time, I like to read new things which gives me a feeling of accomplishment which, in turn, boots my confidence in my own capabilities, play cricket, watching documentaries, and doing exercise.

James
MS North Carolina State University • BA University of Nairobi
2+ Years Tutoring

I am a chemist having majored in Organic chemistry for my BS degree and environmental chemistry for my MS degree, in my career as an analytical chemist both in Research and development in a plastics industry and analytical chemist in environmental health laboratories, I have been a lifetime student of organic chemistry and chemistry in general. My passion has always been to help student excel in chemistry, especially organic chemistry which has endless applications in the present word. I started by tutoring my own children in high school and helped my daughter graduate with a BS in chemical engineering at North Carolina State University and my son as an electrical engineer from the same college. Organic chemistry bogs down students if they are behind in some basic principles such as understanding the periodic table and why the elements are arranged in specific patterns, i.e. periods and groups. They must be very clear about the filling of electrons in various shells and orbitals. A basic understanding of this will open doors to many aspects of the bonding theory, hybridization of carbon and its tetrahedral nature and the ability of carbon to infinitely bond with itself to make long chains and many complex derivatives. Chemical reactions take place at the outermost, also referred to as the valency shell and therefore understanding the orbitals in the outer shell helps the student tell what a sigma or a Pi bond is and other characteristics of a bonded atom such as lone pair of electrons which plays important roles in reactions and ligand chemistry. My favorite hobby is soccer and football. I love music so I usually play my guitar for leisure. I spend a lot of time studying interesting topics in organic chemistry on the internet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Raleigh spans 17 school districts serving over 63,000 students across 136 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a Wake County school, a charter school, or any other district in the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support aligned with their school's expectations.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for standardized tests, or mastering challenging concepts in core subjects. The tutor will ask questions about what's working and what isn't, then create a personalized plan to address your student's needs. Most families find that even the first session provides clarity on next steps.

Tutors working with Raleigh students are familiar with North Carolina's Standard Course of Study and the specific benchmarks students need to meet at each grade level. They can target instruction toward state assessments, help close gaps in foundational skills, and support students through challenging transitions—like moving from elementary to middle school math or tackling algebra for the first time. This localized expertise means your student gets support that directly connects to what their school expects.

Math and reading comprehension are the most common areas where Raleigh students seek support, particularly during transitions between grade levels and when preparing for standardized tests. Science and writing also see strong demand, especially as students advance into middle and high school. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all core subjects, plus test prep for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams—helping Raleigh students build confidence in whatever area they need most.

While Raleigh schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, which is solid by national standards, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something classrooms can't: instruction tailored entirely to one student's pace, learning style, and goals. A tutor can spend the entire session on exactly what your student needs, adapt explanations in real time, and provide immediate feedback—rather than moving at the pace of 13+ other students. This focused attention accelerates learning and builds confidence faster than group settings typically allow.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, the tutor's expertise, and your student's specific needs—there's no one-size-fits-all price. We work with families to find options that fit their budget, whether that's weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or ongoing support. The best way to understand pricing for your situation is to connect with us directly; we're happy to discuss what's available and help you find a plan that works for your family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience—many hold degrees in their subject areas, teaching certifications, or both. Tutors working with Raleigh students understand the local education context and are skilled at explaining concepts in ways that click for different learners. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student based on their expertise and teaching style.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students in Raleigh with tutors who specialize in SAT and ACT prep, helping them understand test format, develop strategy, and build the skills to improve their scores. Whether your student is starting prep as a junior or needs intensive help before test day, tutors create personalized study plans based on practice test results and target the areas where improvement will have the biggest impact. Many students see meaningful score increases with focused, 1-on-1 preparation.
