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.

Astoria

Calculus Tutor • +16 Subjects

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.

Ellie

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a 4th year student at The University of Chicago majoring in Economics. I recently completed all of my coursework and am now filling my time with the activities I most enjoy. One of these activities is teaching. At the beginning of this academic year, I joined an organization on campus that teaches juniors and seniors at a local high school about community engagement through the lens of philanthropy. Through this, I have the unique opportunity to empower students to become leaders in their community; to provide them a platform to change issues about which they are most passionate. This experience inspires my desire to educate young students; to provide them the tools to be leaders, whether that be in the classroom, on the playing field, or in their community. My time as a youth soccer coach and tutor of my little brother and his friends has further bolstered my love of teaching. Given my extensive experience and longtime passion for math and applied math subjects, I feel I can best help students seeking help in these areas, though I have experience in a broad range of subjects. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing soccer, basketball, guitar and piano, as well as cooking, hiking and listening to podcasts.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Bloomington's 23 schools and all 4 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Unit 87, Unit 5, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic expectations in Bloomington.

Students in Bloomington commonly seek tutoring in math, English/language arts, science, and test preparation for the ACT and SAT. Many students also benefit from support in algebra, geometry, and chemistry as they progress through high school. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in whatever subject your student needs most.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to help students master content more deeply and quickly than classroom instruction alone. Tutors in our network work with Bloomington students to target specific gaps aligned with Illinois State Standards, whether that's in literacy, mathematics, or science, ensuring they're prepared for assessments and future coursework.

During the first session, the tutor gets to know your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student stands in their subject and develop a personalized plan to address gaps and build confidence. This foundation ensures every session that follows is tailored to your student's needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1 in Bloomington classrooms, individual students don't always get the focused attention they need to overcome specific challenges. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap, allowing tutors to adjust pacing, teaching methods, and content to match exactly how your student learns best.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in ACT and SAT preparation. Whether your student needs to boost their composite score or strengthen specific sections like math or reading, tutors create targeted study plans based on practice test results and your student's goals.

Varsity Tutors works to match your student with the right tutor quickly so they can start making progress. Once you connect with us and share details about your student's needs and schedule, we identify tutors with relevant expertise and availability. Many students begin their first session within days.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules. Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's specific needs and get pricing information tailored to your situation.
