I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of Michigan. I tutor the SAT (on which I scored a 1590/1600), as well as high school-level Math, History, and English, including AP courses. The reason I tutor the SAT, specifically, is that, because I'm just out of high school, I still vivid...

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everythin...

Calculus Tutor • +22 Subjects
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.

I am taking time to explore my lifelong interest in teaching. I began tutoring at the University of Notre Dame, where I worked for three years as a teaching assistant in a Cell Biology laboratory course. There, I enjoyed helping my peers understand the larger picture developing through our weekly experiments. At Loyola University Chicago, I continued to tutor a variety of subjects while earning a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences.

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +25 Subjects
I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Learning and teaching are my lifelong passions, and it is this passion that I hope to impart to my students; I want to infect my students with the intellectual enthusiasm that has brought so many rewards to my own life.

Sahibzada
Linear Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects
I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together
Sanjana

I'm a sophomore at Harvard studying Applied Math, Economics, and Computer Science. I've tutored in a variety of subjects throughout high school and currently work part-time as a Course Assistant for an Introductory Calculus course at Harvard. I especially love tutoring math and making it a more accessible subject for students to learn. Aside from academics, I'm passionate about community service (I'm a director for a student-run homeless shelter!), music, digital design, and baking!

Hannah
Calculus Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am a sophomore in college at McGill University and am studying Biology and Computer Science. I am passionate about science and would love to help kids who are struggling with it. I hope through tutoring I can help children find the love for learning that I have found. This is in the end the best motivation a child can have. I struggled a lot at the beginning of classes and know what it feels like when something doesn't click. I use this when I tutor and know to go slowly and diligently through everything. I have one year of professional experience in a tutoring center and have worked with children of all ages. I have training to teach anything from reading to Java programming. Tutors helped me through many classes and I would love to be able to do that for your child!
Tallulah

I recently graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Communications and a minor in Business. Since 2020, I have had the privilege of tutoring students of all ages, forming meaningful connections that I deeply cherish. While I tutor a diverse array of subjects, my passions lie in Math, English, and Writing. I also love helping students with college admissions! I firmly believe that learning should be an enjoyable and enriching experience for everyone, so I strive to make each tutoring session unique and engaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students from across Mount Prospect's 12 schools with personalized tutoring support. With a student population of over 3,300 across the district, we work with learners at every grade level and academic background, whether they attend elementary, middle, or high school in the community.
Yes. While Mount Prospect schools maintain a solid 11.6:1 student-teacher ratio, classroom instruction still means teachers divide their attention among many students. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring gives your child dedicated focus on their specific learning gaps and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in a group classroom setting, no matter how well-staffed the school is.
Tutors work with students to master Illinois State Standards in core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies. Whether your child needs to strengthen foundational skills or prepare for state assessments, personalized instruction targets exactly what they need to succeed—aligned with what Mount Prospect schools are teaching.
Mount Prospect students most frequently seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and test preparation for standardized assessments. We also support students in science, writing, and subject-specific help for high school courses like chemistry and physics.
The first session focuses on understanding your child's strengths, challenges, and learning goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss what support they need most, and create a personalized plan. This foundation ensures that every session afterward is targeted and productive.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, grade level, and tutor expertise. We offer flexible pricing and can work with different schedules and budgets. Contact us for a personalized quote and to learn about any available options for your family's needs.
Absolutely. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled before or after school, during lunch, on weekends, or during breaks—whatever works best for your family. This flexibility makes it easy to add academic support without disrupting your child's existing commitments to school activities and sports.
We take time to understand your child's learning style, academic needs, and personality to connect them with a tutor who's a great fit. Whether your student needs someone energetic and engaging or calm and methodical, we match based on what will help them learn best and feel comfortable asking questions.
