Jackson
From pre-algebra fundamentals through calculus, Jackson covers a wide swath of math and zeros in on the step where a student's understanding breaks down. His approach leans on the "learn one, do one, teach one" cycle — once a student can explain a problem-solving method back to him, he knows it's lo...

Bachelor's

Certified Tutor
A chemistry degree requires years of applied math, from algebraic manipulation in stoichiometry to calculus in thermodynamics. Eric uses that applied perspective to show students why a formula works, not just how to use it — which makes problem-solving on homework and exams far less dependent on mem...

Frequently Asked Questions
The first session is all about understanding where your student is starting from. A tutor will assess their current math level, identify specific challenges (whether it's word problems, multi-step equations, or conceptual gaps), and learn about their learning style. This helps create a personalized plan that targets their unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Many students can follow steps without truly understanding why they work. Tutors help build conceptual understanding by asking questions like "Why does this method work?" and connecting procedures to real patterns and relationships. This deeper understanding makes it easier to tackle unfamiliar problems and retain what they've learned long-term.
Word problems require students to translate language into mathematical thinking—a skill that takes practice. Tutors teach problem-solving strategies like identifying what information matters, breaking problems into steps, and checking answers for reasonableness. With guided practice and feedback, students build confidence and develop a systematic approach rather than feeling overwhelmed.
Math anxiety often comes from past struggles or pressure to perform. One-on-one instruction creates a low-pressure environment where students can ask questions freely, make mistakes safely, and build confidence through small wins. As they experience success and see patterns they didn't notice before, their relationship with math often shifts dramatically.
Yes. Tutors work with students using their school's textbook and curriculum approach, whether that's traditional methods, Singapore Math, or any other framework used in Memphis schools. This alignment means tutoring reinforces what's happening in class and helps students understand their teacher's specific approach, leading to better performance on classroom assignments and tests.
Showing work reveals a student's thinking process, making it easier to spot where misunderstandings happen. Tutors help students develop clear, organized work habits that not only satisfy teacher requirements but also help them catch their own mistakes and deepen their understanding. This skill transfers across all math topics and builds stronger problem-solving abilities.
Graphing and proofs require students to see connections between different representations and think logically about why something must be true. Tutors break these down into manageable pieces, use visual tools and real examples, and guide students through the reasoning step-by-step. Many students find these topics click once they understand the underlying logic rather than just memorizing procedures.
Absolutely. With 250 schools across Memphis serving nearly 100,000 students, there's significant variation in curricula and pacing. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who can adapt to any school's approach, whether your student attends a public school in Shelby County Schools or a charter or private institution. This flexibility ensures personalized support regardless of which school your student attends.
