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.

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.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Preschool focuses on foundational skills across multiple areas: social-emotional development (sharing, listening, following directions), early literacy (letter recognition, phonemic awareness, print concepts), math foundations (counting, sorting, shapes, patterns), fine motor skills (writing, cutting, drawing), and gross motor development (running, climbing, balance). Age-appropriate expectations vary by program, but most preschoolers develop basic self-care skills, expand vocabulary rapidly, and begin understanding how to learn collaboratively. A great preschool experience helps children feel confident, curious, and ready for kindergarten.

In a classroom, teachers work with 15-20+ children at varying levels, so pacing and activities are designed for the group. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors adapt completely to your child's pace, interests, and learning style—whether your child needs more time with letters, extra practice with social skills, or enrichment in areas they're excelling. Tutors can redirect immediately, celebrate small wins, and adjust activities in real-time based on engagement. This focused attention helps children who struggle with transitions, benefit from repetition, or need confidence-building in specific areas.

The best preschool tutors combine patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm for working with young learners. They understand child development, use play-based learning (since preschoolers learn best through play), manage behavior with positive reinforcement, and communicate clearly with parents about progress. They're also flexible—able to pivot when a child loses interest, celebrate effort over perfection, and build strong relationships that make children feel safe and excited to learn. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who bring both expertise in early childhood development and a real passion for this age group.

Yes. Many preschoolers struggle with transitions between activities, sharing, managing emotions, or listening to directions—and personalized support can make a real difference. Tutors can work on these skills through structured play, modeling, positive reinforcement, and repetition in a low-pressure environment. They can also help your child practice specific situations (like saying goodbye to a parent, waiting for a turn, or expressing feelings with words) in ways that feel safe and manageable. Regular 1-on-1 time often builds confidence and emotional regulation skills that transfer to the classroom.

Most families notice shifts in confidence and engagement within 2-4 weeks of consistent personalized instruction. Measurable progress in specific skills—like letter recognition, counting, or following multi-step directions—often emerges within 4-8 weeks, depending on your child's starting point and tutoring frequency. Consistency matters: weekly sessions typically show steadier progress than sporadic ones. Keep in mind that preschoolers develop unevenly (a child might suddenly "get" letters after weeks of exposure), so patience and celebrating small wins are key. Your tutor will keep you updated on what they're observing and adjusting.

The best approach combines both. Play-based learning is how preschoolers naturally develop—through building, pretend play, exploring, and games—so great tutors embed academic skills (letters, counting, vocabulary) into play. A tutor might build letter recognition into a treasure hunt, teach counting through a cooking activity, or practice listening skills through a story-based game. This keeps learning joyful and developmentally appropriate while still building foundational skills. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand that for preschoolers, play is the work.

Consider tutoring if your child is showing signs like difficulty focusing, struggling to recognize letters or numbers despite exposure, avoiding certain activities (writing, group participation), falling behind peers in communication, or if you want extra support during a transition (new school, new sibling). Tutoring can also benefit children who are advanced and need enrichment, or those who just need a confidence boost. The best time to reach out is early—preschool is foundational, and personalized support now can set a positive trajectory for learning. Varsity Tutors can help assess whether tutoring is a good fit and match you with a tutor who understands your child's specific needs.
