15+ Years Tutoring

I am freshly graduated from the University of Georgia and very excited that I can continue to work in the academic world. In my 16 years of schooling in Atlanta and Athens, I have come to feel that the structure of our educational system, while undoubtedly helpful to many students, often leaves much to be desired.

I am a person who genuinely enjoys both writing and chemistry (especially organic). To most people, this seems like an odd combination but for me it's natural. I have been able to leverage both of these skills in order to obtain a PhD in organic chemistry. Also, I have written a couple of articles about chemistry on Medium. Understandably, some students struggle in these areas and I would like to help. When I am working with students, I like to be flexible with my teaching approach. During our first session, the student and I will set goals for our time together and we will discuss your learning style. In the subsequent sessions, student and I will work together to develop a learning environment that will help you Education: - Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame (2014) - B.S. in Biochemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana (2008) Experience: 1. 5 years working as a lecture teaching assistant for general chemistry I and organic chemistry I and II at the University of Notre Dame 2. 1 year experience tutoring a high school student in chemistry (1 hour per week) 3. 6 years experience in helping undergraduate students understand organic chemistry and biology

BA Davidson College
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a current senior at Davidson College, working towards my B.A. in German Studies and Arab Studies. I have spent many hours tutoring the German and Arabic language to college students. I have spent time abroad in Germany, studying German as a second language with AATG (American Association of Teachers of German). My years of being a camp counselor and babysitter have translated into my teaching methods and style. I encourage young learners to approach problems in multiple ways by retesting previously learned material and encouraging independent thinking. I am a huge believer in discovering answers instead of being told them. I look forward to working with you!

Ibaad
Current Undergrad Student, Biology, General Emory University
8+ Years Tutoring

I'm a pre-medical student at Emory University with a biology major and an anthropology minor. Before entering college, I tutored freshmen in high school through a peer leadership program, traveled to elementary schools as part of volunteer opportunities, and often coached family friends to help them prepare for standardized tests. The subjects I'm most passionate about include literature, Spanish, and sciences like biology. However, I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests like the SAT or ACT. My teaching style is centered around the idea that learning is a process, and the key aspect to successful tutoring is persistence. Outside of academia, some of my hobbies include volunteering, exercising, and traveling to new places.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Decatur's 58 schools and all 4 local school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in DeKalb County Schools, Decatur City Schools, or other districts in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands the specific curriculum and academic expectations they're working with.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master Georgia Standards of Excellence, since tutors can focus on the exact concepts your student is struggling with rather than moving at a class pace. With Decatur's average student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1, many students benefit from the additional attention tutoring provides to fill gaps and build confidence in core subjects like math, reading, and science.

Decatur students most frequently seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and test preparation for standardized assessments. We also see strong demand for writing support, science tutoring, and help with the transition to advanced coursework in middle and high school. Tutors can assess your student's specific needs during an initial consultation.

During the first session, your tutor will assess your student's current understanding, identify knowledge gaps, and learn about their learning style and goals. They'll also review any materials from your student's Decatur school—like recent assignments or test results—to tailor instruction to what's actually being taught in their classroom. This personalized approach ensures tutoring directly supports success in their courses.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have deep knowledge of their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Many tutors have backgrounds in education, have taught in Georgia schools, or have extensive experience with Georgia's curriculum standards. All tutors are carefully selected to ensure they can provide high-quality, personalized instruction.

Tutoring sessions are completely flexible and can be scheduled around your student's school day, extracurricular activities, and family commitments. Whether your student needs help during the school week, on weekends, or during busy seasons like test prep periods, Varsity Tutors can work with your schedule to find a time that works.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level, but Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your student's needs and get a personalized quote. Many families find that targeted tutoring in key subjects provides strong value, especially when it helps prevent larger academic gaps later on.

Getting started is simple—reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject needs, and scheduling preferences. We'll match your student with a qualified tutor who fits their learning needs and availability. Most families can connect with a tutor and schedule a first session within a few days.
