Beth
Elementary School Reading Tutor
I am a native Seattleite, who graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a bachelor's degree in psychology and Elementary Education (K-8). I later received my master's degree in social work from the University of Washington. I taught grades 1-3 in Boston, Massachusetts (private school) and in Monroe, Washington (public school). I am passionate about helping children navigate through life both educationally and emotionally and found great satisfaction in working in Social Services for 11 years in a non-profit that provided mentors for children from single parent homes. While I was raising my children, I began tutoring Reading part time in public schools and found that I absolutely love working with emerging readers in small groups or one to one. It is extremely satisfying helping a child become a strong reader, as it influences their success in every subject area. I try to instill a love for books in my students, while using humor and positive encouragement. I strongly believe that children need support at home, both by being read to and reading to their family members. Following this period of learning loss due to the Covid epidemic, I am enjoying working with students to provide phonics-based early reading education.
Brad
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects
I developed a strong interest in mathematics after high school, when Algebra 1 showed me the value of learning concepts step by step. I graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Music Education, a minor in Music, and a K-12 Teaching Certificate, while also completing college-level coursework in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-Calculus. Later, I returned to school for mathematics certification and went on to teach math from 4th through 12th grade during a twenty-three-year career in public education. I hold a current Washington Teaching Certificate in K-12 Choral Music and 4-12 Mathematics. For the past six years, I have focused exclusively on online math instruction, helping students with coursework, test preparation, and confidence-building through clear, logical explanations.

I am an LSAT tutor. My approach combines step-by-step explanation with coaching on study planning, error analysis, and confidence under timed conditions. I enjoy helping students replace guesswork with understanding so they feel in control of the test and can see steady, meaningful progress. The test will become much less stressful and confusing!

Rasheena
College English Tutor
I earned a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a MA.Ed. in Urban Environmental Education from Antioch University Seattle in partnership with IslandWood. I have a MFA in Creative Writing degree from the University of Washington Seattle, where I am currently a fifth-year Ph.D. Candidate in English literature and culture. As an educator, my driving question is "How can I more effectively teach across diverse learning styles?" I use multiple tactics to accomplish a responsive approach in the classroom. I use a mix of visuals, questions, and educational tools when deliver teaching lessons. Built into my teaching are various ways to evaluate learning through formative and summative evaluation. Usually throughout the course, I do check-ins with my students to individually ask them to self-evaluate while also offering areas for which to improve. This allows me to reiterate course goals and objectives while giving them the opportunity and extra push to align themselves with these goals, making appropriate adjustments when needed. This check-in also allows me to ask what learning style is working for the students. As an educator, I use my environmental education, professional environmental work and community college teaching experience to incorporate strategies that increase equity in the classroom. I bring all of my teaching experience to my tutoring.
Laura
College Algebra Tutor • +2 Subjects
Hi, I'm Laura! I graduated summa cum laude from Eastern Washington University with a bachelor's of science degree in mathematics and a minor in sociology. There, I earned the Frances B. Huston award, the most prestigious award given to graduating students, for excellence in academics, leadership, and community service. From there, I became a student at the University of Washington (UW), earning my Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and a position as a PhD student in the department. I was also awarded the Carl S. Pearson award for academic excellence in the Master's program. I have been working as a PhD student since then, with expertise in all types of math including algebra, calculus, linear algebra, and numerical analysis, among others. I also have years of experience coding in both python and matlab! I spent three years as an undergraduate teaching assistant, helping teach both high school and college level math classes. I also taught multiple sections of calculus at the University of Washington as a Master's student, and I have served as a teaching assistant throughout my time at UW. My favorite thing about these positions were the opportunities to work one-on-one with students, developing new approaches to help them understand difficult concepts. I love coming up with new examples or intuitive ways of thinking through math problems. I think everybody can learn math, and I love helping students of all ages and backgrounds achieve their mathematical goals! I have a number of resources to use in lesson planning, and I also welcome any resources or suggestions provided by students and parents to help tailor the experience to your needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a session!

Hello:)) My name is Lindsey! I recently graduated college with a Bachelor's degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Washington. I have over 2 years of tutoring and classroom experience specializing in subjects such as AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and various levels of math and science. The most important thing to me is my students feel comfortable to ask questions and explore concepts at their own pace. I believe that every student has unique strengths and learning styles, and it's my goal to understand them and to inspire their curiosity and confidence in these subjects. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading about scientific advancements and watching movies and eating. I'm excited to meet you all!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Seattle and the greater Puget Sound region with expert tutors. Whether you're in Seattle proper or the surrounding communities, we match students with tutors who understand the local school landscape, including the 9 school districts and 214 schools across the area.
Seattle students frequently seek support in math, science, and standardized test preparation (SAT and ACT), along with AP subjects as they prepare for college. We also work with many students on foundational skills like reading and writing, as well as advanced coursework in STEM fields—reflecting the strong emphasis on these subjects in Washington schools.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target the specific Washington State standards your student needs to master, whether in English language arts, mathematics, or science. Rather than keeping pace with a classroom of 15+ students, tutors can focus on gaps and accelerate learning in areas where your student needs the most support.
Absolutely. Tutors in the Seattle area are familiar with the curricula used across the region's 9 school districts and can align instruction with what your student is learning in class. This coordination helps reinforce classroom concepts and ensures tutoring directly supports your student's academic progress in their school.
The first session is an assessment and planning meeting. The tutor will learn about your student's academic goals, current challenges, and learning style—whether they're struggling with a specific subject, preparing for the SAT or ACT, or working ahead. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan for the weeks ahead.
Tutors are subject matter experts who have been vetted for their knowledge and teaching ability. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, or have extensive experience in their subject areas. Varsity Tutors ensures you're connected with someone qualified to help your student succeed.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your location in the Seattle area. We offer flexible arrangements to fit different schedules and budgets—whether you need intensive support for a few weeks or ongoing tutoring throughout the school year. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs.
Many students see noticeable progress within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, your student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Research on personalized instruction shows that 1-on-1 support significantly accelerates learning compared to classroom instruction alone, helping students catch up or move ahead more quickly.
