Yes. Tutors can support any homeschool curriculum—whether you're using a structured program like Saxon Math or a classical approach, or designing your own. When you connect with a tutor, you can share your curriculum details and learning goals, and the tutor will customize their instruction to reinforce and extend what your student is already learning.

Homeschooled students often struggle with staying motivated without classroom structure, mastering challenging subjects independently, or keeping up with grade-level expectations in areas like advanced math or writing. Personalized tutoring provides accountability, expert explanation of difficult concepts, and targeted practice to build both skills and confidence in these areas.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss learning goals, review any curriculum materials, and identify specific areas where support would be most helpful. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan that aligns with your homeschool approach and sets clear expectations for progress.

When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you can specify the subjects and grade levels your student needs support in, and we'll match them with a tutor who has relevant expertise and experience. Whether it's elementary fundamentals, high school STEM, or college-prep subjects, tutors can provide the specialized knowledge homeschooling families sometimes need.

Absolutely. Tutors can help homeschooled students prepare for standardized tests (SAT, ACT, AP exams), strengthen transcripts through rigorous coursework, and develop the academic skills colleges expect. This is especially valuable for homeschoolers in the Seattle area who want to ensure their academic record is competitive for university admission.

Since homeschooled students often have flexible schedules, tutoring can be arranged around your family's routine—whether that's weekday mornings, afternoons, or weekends. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutors who can accommodate your preferred times and frequency, whether you need weekly sessions or intensive support during specific units.

Progress is tracked through regular assessment of skills, completion of practice problems, improved performance on assignments or tests, and feedback from both the tutor and student. Tutors will share updates on what's working well and where your student is building mastery, helping you make informed decisions about pacing and next steps in your homeschool curriculum.
