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

I am a published author who has enjoyed “coaching” our daughter, as she navigated through high school, college and graduate school. I mentor college juniors who are seeking careers in financial services, and I serve as a peer resource to professionals who are transitioning from private industry to the nonprofit sector.

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.
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Lancaster County with personalized tutoring support. With 6 school districts and 58 schools serving over 21,000 students in the area, we work with learners from Conestoga Valley, Ephrata, Hempfield, Lampeter-Strasburg, Manheim Central, and Penn Manor, helping them succeed regardless of which district they attend.
Pennsylvania has specific standards for each grade level and subject, and tutors work with students to master these benchmarks through personalized instruction tailored to individual learning gaps. Whether your student needs support with PA Core Standards in math and literacy, or preparation for Keystone Exams, personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify exactly where they're struggling and build confidence in those areas.
The first session is about building rapport and understanding your student's specific needs, goals, and learning style. The tutor will assess current skill levels, discuss any academic challenges, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring can help your student succeed in their Lancaster school.
Lancaster students commonly seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT. Many families also connect with tutors for subject-specific help like chemistry, physics, and AP courses, as well as study skills and homework support across grade levels.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Each tutor is vetted for their knowledge and ability to work effectively with students, and they're matched to your student based on specific academic needs and learning preferences to ensure the best fit.
While Lancaster's average student-teacher ratio is 12.8:1, personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides focused attention that classroom settings simply can't match. Research shows that one-on-one tutoring significantly accelerates learning because the tutor can target exactly what your student needs, adjust pacing in real time, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult in larger classroom environments.
Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling to fit your family's needs, whether that's after school, weekends, or during the week. We work with families to find solutions that match their budget and schedule, and can discuss pricing options based on frequency and duration of tutoring sessions.
Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they receive instruction. The key is regular, focused sessions where the tutor can build on progress and reinforce concepts—personalized instruction accelerates learning much faster than sporadic help.
