Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors matches Buffalo students with expert Phonics tutors for 1-on-1 instruction. We pair each student with a tutor based on their specific needs, learning style, and goals.

Whether you need homework help, exam prep, or want to get ahead, our Phonics tutors are ready to help.

Common challenges include gaps from earlier material, difficulty with specific concepts, and trouble applying learning to new problems. These issues can snowball quickly in Phonics.

A tutor identifies where you're stuck, fills in gaps, and provides targeted practice. The 1-on-1 format means you get help exactly where you need it.

Tutors work with your student's actual coursework—homework assignments, class notes, and upcoming tests. This keeps tutoring directly relevant to what's happening in the classroom.

When you share information about your student's school and curriculum, we can match you with a tutor who has relevant experience.

All tutors complete background checks, credential verification, and teaching evaluation. Many of our Phonics tutors hold advanced degrees or have years of teaching experience.

You can review tutor profiles to find someone with the right background for your student's level and needs.

Many students see improved grades within a few weeks, along with better understanding of Phonics concepts and more confidence tackling challenging material.

Tutors track progress and adjust their approach to ensure continued improvement.

Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week. More frequent sessions help if your student is significantly behind or has an important exam coming up.

Your tutor can recommend a schedule based on your student's specific situation and goals.

Tutoring is purchased in packages of hours, with rates varying by tutor experience. Varsity Tutors offers several options to fit different budgets and needs.

You can discuss pricing during your consultation to find what works best.

Your tutor will assess where your student is, discuss goals, and start working on priority areas. Most students bring current homework or upcoming test material to focus on.

By the end, you'll have a clear sense of how the tutor can help and a plan for moving forward.
