Bryan

Biology Tutor • +11 Subjects

I graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I received my Master of Science in Forestry with a focus on wildlife genetics from the University of Kentucky. Since graduating, I have worked primarily in the field of wildlife conservation and research. I am extremely passionate about science; my favorite subjects are Biology, Zoology, Ecology, and Environmental Science. Early in my academic career I was very fortunate to be taught Biology through the Socratic Method. This style of teaching challenges a student's fundamental understanding of subject material through strategic inquiry and debate. This method is well suited for teaching science and builds critical thinking skills that can be applied to all aspects of a student's life. The critical thinking skills I acquired are still with me today, and they have become second nature and allow me to enter into any challenge (academic, professional, or personal) with confidence. In my free time I enjoy all types of outdoor activities as well as travel, photography, art, reading, and deck hockey.

Shannon

ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am an undergraduate at Rice University, and my favorite subjects to tutor are math and science. I also enjoy doing test prep, and my experience comes from helping fellow students in high school. One of the most important aspects of tutoring is fitting the teaching style to each student. One method that works great for one student may not work well for another. Tutoring is all about coming up with different ways for my students to understand the material. If my student is not interested in the subject we are learning, I will try to find a way to tie in their interests and passions into the subject to better engage them. I want to be there for my students, not only as a tutor, but also as a friend. In addition to my interests in math and science (and learning in general), I enjoy swimming, biking, reading, and cooking. I also believe that fostering curiosity and determination are the keys to success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Henderson's 64 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Green Valley area, the newer developments, or anywhere else in Henderson, we match them with tutors who understand Nevada's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 21.2:1 in Henderson schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that classroom settings can't always provide. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated time to work through challenging concepts, ask questions without hesitation, and build confidence in their learning—something that's difficult to achieve in larger classes.

Henderson students typically seek tutoring in math, science, and English—especially during transitions between grade levels and when preparing for state assessments. We also see strong demand for algebra support, chemistry, and reading comprehension, as well as test prep for the ACT and SAT. Tutors can help with any subject your student is studying, tailored to Nevada's academic standards.

The first session is designed to build rapport and assess your student's strengths and challenges. The tutor will ask about their learning style, current coursework, specific struggles, and goals—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for a test, or mastering a particular concept. This foundation helps create a personalized plan that addresses exactly what your student needs.

Tutors working with Henderson students are familiar with Nevada's academic standards and curriculum expectations across grade levels. They can help students master state-tested content, prepare for Nevada's assessments, and develop the skills needed to succeed in Nevada's schools. Whether your student needs to catch up or get ahead, tutoring is aligned with what's expected in Nevada classrooms.

Tutoring pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. We work with families to find options that fit their budget, and many families find that personalized tutoring is an investment that pays off quickly through improved grades and confidence. Contact us to discuss your situation and get pricing information tailored to what your student needs.

Absolutely. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your family's commitments—whether that's after school, evenings, weekends, or during school breaks. We work with you to find times that work, so tutoring enhances your student's learning without adding stress to your family's routine.

Personalized tutoring addresses the root of your student's struggles rather than just covering material. A tutor can identify whether the issue is a gap in foundational skills, a learning style mismatch with how the material is being taught, or simply needing more time to process concepts. With one-on-one support, your student can rebuild confidence, fill knowledge gaps, and develop strategies that help them succeed—often leading to noticeable grade improvements within weeks.
