BA Purdue University-Main Campus
8+ Years Tutoring

I am a software programmer who specializes in Python applications and some web design. I have a deep understanding of mathematics and how computers work, but software development also allows room for creativity and exploration of an endless supply of tools available online. I like to think I bring this versatility to every aspect of life, including tutoring. Another example of this is my affinity for realistic drawing; by using proportions and geometry to analyze a scene as well as incorporating different techniques,

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

Ingrid
BA Northwestern University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

BA Cornell University • Juris Doctor, Law University of Chicago Law School
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across all 13 schools in Elk Grove Village with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends one of the local elementary, middle, or high schools, tutors are available to support their specific curriculum and learning goals aligned with Illinois academic standards.

With over 6,000 students in the Elk Grove Village district, we see consistent demand for math, science, and English language arts support—especially as students progress through middle and high school. Many students also seek help with standardized test preparation, including Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams and ACT prep, as well as support in foreign languages and AP coursework.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges—whether that's keeping up with classroom material or preparing for an upcoming exam. The tutor will ask questions about what's working and what isn't, then develop a personalized plan to help your student succeed in their Elk Grove Village school.

While Elk Grove Village schools maintain a solid 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides something classrooms can't—instruction tailored entirely to your student's pace and learning style. A tutor can spend focused time on gaps in understanding, answer questions without time constraints, and adjust teaching methods to match how your student learns best.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible arrangements that fit their budget and schedule. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs.

Tutors are available for core subjects like math, science, English, and social studies, plus foreign languages, test prep (ACT, SAT, IAR), AP exam preparation, and specialized support in subjects like chemistry, physics, and algebra. We also help with study skills and homework support across grade levels.

We consider your student's subject, grade level, learning goals, and personality to connect them with a tutor who's a great fit. If you're not satisfied with the match, we'll work to find someone better. The goal is for your student to feel comfortable and confident working with their tutor.

Tutors work with families to find times that fit around school, activities, and family schedules.
