When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we learn about your student's goals, grade level, and learning style. We then match them with a tutor who has the right expertise and teaching approach for their needs. Our tutors are independent professionals, so you're getting someone who's committed to personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to your student's unique challenges and goals.

Yes. Many Maine students use Varsity Tutors for SAT, ACT, and AP exam preparation. With Maine's average SAT score at 1170 and ACT at 27, targeted test prep can make a meaningful difference. Expert tutors work with students to identify weak areas, build test-taking strategies, and practice with real exam materials to boost scores.

One-on-one instruction is highly effective because tutors can focus entirely on your student's individual learning style and gaps. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, personalized tutoring addresses exactly where your student is struggling, fills knowledge gaps, and builds confidence. Research on 1-on-1 instruction consistently shows stronger academic outcomes than group learning environments.

Varsity Tutors connects students across all grade levels—from elementary through high school—with qualified tutors. We also work with college students and adults pursuing additional learning. No matter what stage of education your student is in, we can find a tutor with experience teaching that level.

Tutoring rates vary depending on the subject, tutor expertise, and the frequency of sessions you choose. We work with you to find options that fit your budget. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we can discuss pricing and help you understand what to expect so there are no surprises.

Absolutely.
