Anthony

Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am a certified English teacher and Principal in the State of Missouri. I believe that students are under more pressure than ever to succeed in school. However, due to the ever increasing class sizes that some of the best schools are experiencing students are not able to receive the personal attention that some of them need to be at their best. That is why tutoring can be so valuable. I am able to work one on one with a student which allows me to devote all my time to helping them with their particular problems. I am able to help students understand what it is they are being asked to do, assist them in accomplishing it and finally, provide them the ability to recall the information for future use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across St. Louis's 40 public and private schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in one of the 9 school districts in the area or a charter school, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific needs.

Tutors work with students to master Missouri's Grade-Level Expectations across core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies. They assess where your student stands relative to grade-level benchmarks and create targeted lesson plans that address gaps while keeping pace with classroom instruction, ensuring students are prepared for state assessments and future academic success.

St. Louis students frequently seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and science. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) and high school entrance exams. Tutors can help with any subject or skill your student is struggling with, from foundational skills to advanced coursework.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1 in St. Louis schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need in the classroom. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting. This focused approach helps students build confidence and close academic gaps more quickly.

During the initial session, the tutor will assess your student's current skill level, discuss academic goals, and identify areas where they need the most support. They'll also get to know your student's learning style and preferences to create a personalized plan. This foundation ensures that all future sessions are targeted and effective.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can work around your family's schedule. Whether your student needs support during the school year, help preparing for end-of-year assessments, or summer enrichment, tutors can adjust session frequency and timing to fit your needs. You can discuss scheduling preferences when you get matched with a tutor.

Absolutely. Tutors help students prepare for the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), ACT, SAT, and other standardized tests. They use targeted strategies to build test-taking skills, review content areas, and boost confidence. Many St. Louis students benefit from test prep tutoring to improve their scores and college readiness.

Simply tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects they need help with, and Varsity Tutors will match them with an expert tutor in the St. Louis area. Once matched, you can schedule your first session at a time that works best for your family. The process is straightforward and designed to get your student support quickly.
