Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Akron's 86 schools and all 21 school districts in the area. With over 28,000 students in the Akron region, we work with learners from elementary through high school who need personalized support in core subjects, test prep, and specialized skills.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master Ohio's academic standards by targeting their specific gaps and learning pace. Whether your student needs support with Ohio's math progressions, ELA benchmarks, or science standards, tutors work directly with them to build mastery and confidence in areas where classroom instruction alone may not be enough.

Akron students frequently seek help with math, English/language arts, science, and standardized test preparation—subjects that are critical for high school success and college readiness. We also support students in foreign languages, social studies, and specialized courses like AP and honors classes across Akron's diverse school districts.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1 in Akron schools, classroom teachers often have limited time for individualized attention. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing focused, one-on-one instruction tailored to your student's learning style and pace, which research shows significantly accelerates progress compared to classroom instruction alone.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to assess your student's current level, understand their goals, and identify areas needing support. The tutor will ask about strengths, challenges, and learning preferences, then create a personalized plan that aligns with your student's school curriculum and academic needs.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in the subjects and grade levels your student needs. Whether it's elementary math, high school chemistry, AP Biology, or test prep for the ACT or SAT, we match students with qualified professionals who understand both the content and how to teach it effectively.

Tutoring sessions are scheduled around your family's availability—whether that's after school, weekends, or during the week. We understand that Akron families juggle school, activities, and work, so we work with you to find times that fit your schedule and your student's learning needs.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction addresses your student's specific challenges rather than generic group instruction, leading to faster progress and stronger academic confidence. For students across Akron's diverse schools and districts, this targeted approach often results in improved grades, better test scores, and a stronger foundation for future success.
