Mary
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a 2014 graduate of Cornell University's College of Engineering where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Engineering. I have just begun my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. My favorite subjects to tutor include Test Prep and elementary/middle school subjects. I enjoy helping younger students so that they can be excited about learning and begin their education with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics. I believe it is important to provide students with the proper tools to succeed at a young age so that they continue to have a desire to learn for the rest of their lives. I loved my college experience and want to show high school students that with practice and diligence, they too can perform well on standardized tests and go on to the university of their choosing. To accomplish academic goals at any level, it is important for the student to have fun while learning! I personalize my teaching approach to fit the student's learning style so that he or she can easily transition from learning a concept to applying it to a given problem. The greatest reward is seeing the smile on a student's face when a topic "clicks".

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects
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! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.
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!

Matt
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across all six Reading school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Reading School District or one of the surrounding districts, we match them with tutors who understand Pennsylvania's academic standards and can support their specific curriculum and learning goals.
Reading students frequently seek support in math and English language arts, particularly as they progress through middle and high school. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as those needing help with AP courses and Pennsylvania-specific assessments. Tutors can also support students in science, history, and foreign languages depending on individual needs.
The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and academic goals. The tutor will assess where they stand in their coursework, identify specific areas needing support, and work together to create a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure that every subsequent session builds directly on what your student needs most.
While Reading's schools maintain a reasonable student-teacher ratio, classroom instruction still means teachers juggle many students with different needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving your student undivided attention, allowing tutors to slow down on tough concepts, adjust pacing to match their learning speed, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult to achieve in a classroom setting of 15 students.
Tutors working with Reading students are familiar with Pennsylvania's standards and assessments, including PSSA benchmarks and Keystone Exams. They align their instruction with what your student's school expects, whether that's mastering specific grade-level skills or preparing for state assessments. This targeted approach helps students build confidence while staying on track with their school's curriculum.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. Most families find it helpful to start with an initial session to discuss goals and get matched with the right tutor, and we can provide transparent pricing information at that point. We work with families to find tutoring solutions that fit their budget while ensuring quality instruction.
Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are subject-matter experts with strong backgrounds in their fields—many hold degrees in their subject areas and have proven teaching or tutoring experience. They're selected for both their knowledge and their ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt to different learning styles, ensuring Reading students get instruction from qualified professionals.
Yes, personalized tutoring is designed to fit your family's schedule. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during school breaks, tutors work with families to find times that work. This flexibility means your student can get the support they need without adding stress to an already busy schedule.
