I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra!

Wamweni

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Masters in International Educational Development. I graduated from Stetson University with my BA in 2017, and since then have worked in inner city schools. The last two years, I have taught Algebra and Geometry at a charter high school, while managing a math tutorial program within the school. I find great joy is setting students up for success and helping them achieve the utmost in school. I do not only focus on student academic performance, but also on their social-emotional well-being, so they may attain a positive mindset of their day-to-day learning. I have 10 years experience working with elementary kids, including assisting with homeschooling. However, I am more passionate about helping students understand higher levels of mathematics. I am a believer in quality education, that's why I make sure to create an engaging learning environment for my students.

Katherine

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am a senior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania studying Finance and Operations & Information Management. I am an Executive Board Member of one of the largest community service groups on campus, the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project, so I have had plenty of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math in the Philadelphia area. Prior to my experience tutoring in Philadelphia, I ran an online writing program teaching essential writing skills to elementary school students and served as an Algebra I instructor at a local community center. I enjoy tutoring math up to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and editing essays (including college essays) because helping students build math foundations that will help them for the rest of their life is rewarding and I greatly enjoy editing essays! I have a very flexible tutoring style - I am approachable and willing to answer any questions related to the material. Hopefully, I can explain things as simply as possible so they stick. Outside of school, I enjoy piano, dancing, visiting museums, art, and discovering new foods and restaurants. Looking forward to tutoring!

I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Hazleton's six schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a local elementary, middle, or high school, we match them with tutors who understand Pennsylvania's academic standards and can support their specific learning goals.

Students in Hazleton typically seek support in math, English language arts, and standardized test preparation, particularly as they progress toward Pennsylvania state assessments and college entrance exams. We also work with students on science, history, and advanced placement courses based on individual needs and school curriculum requirements.

While Hazleton schools maintain a 17:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps—something that's difficult in even well-resourced classrooms. This targeted approach means tutors can adapt explanations, adjust difficulty, and spend time on exactly what your student needs, rather than following a whole-class curriculum.

Tutors working with Hazleton students are familiar with Pennsylvania's academic standards and assessment requirements, including state standardized tests and graduation requirements. They can target specific skills your student needs to strengthen, whether that's reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, or science concepts aligned with what's taught in local schools.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges or goals. They'll ask questions, assess what's working and what isn't, and begin building a personalized plan—no pressure, just getting to know your student and establishing a foundation for productive sessions ahead.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor qualifications, and your student's needs. We work with families to find options that fit their budget, and many find that focused 1-on-1 instruction helps students make faster progress, making it a worthwhile investment in their academic success.

Yes, Varsity Tutors works with families to find scheduling that works—whether that's after school, evenings, weekends, or during the school day for homeschooled students. We understand that Hazleton families have busy schedules, so we're flexible in finding times that let your student get consistent, regular support.

Many students show noticeable improvement within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, how much support they need, and how regularly they meet with their tutor. Most importantly, students often gain confidence and a better understanding of material right away, which naturally leads to improved performance over time.
