Award-Winning Tutors serving Pompano Beach, FL

How can private tutoring with an accomplished tutor help you achieve your learning goals?

From assistance in elementary-level reading and writing to support in graduate-level math and science, private tutoring is an undeniably powerful educational tool. Tutors on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform work with students of all ages, including adults, to improve their areas of weakness and to further develop their strengths. Perhaps you’d like to learn conversational French for an upcoming vacation, or your child has mastered simple fractions and is ready to work ahead in their math class. Or maybe your child is facing significant hurdles with reading comprehension and vocabulary. A tutor can help in all of these situations, as well as many others.

Multiple studies have shown that tutoring can lift average students to the top 2% (or 98th percentile) of their classes. Students who are currently high achievers can also benefit from improved grades and test scores. In fact, eight out of 10 students found that tutoring carried a measurable academic benefit, while 45 out of an examined 52 studies (nearly 90%) concluded that tutored students outperformed non-tutored students.

Tutoring is highly effective in part because tutors adapt their lessons to their students’ learning styles. Classroom lectures and textbook explanations can prove insufficient when a topic is unfamiliar or complex. To further complicate matters, teachers may have little time to provide additional support to their students. A tutor, on the other hand, works with you one-on-one via private tutoring or with a small group of students via Varsity Tutors’ live, online group courses (available in select subjects).

Tutors can accommodate visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning styles, among others. They can also enrich their tutoring sessions with a wide variety of resources. These resources may include teacher-provided tools like assignment sheets and short readings, as well as supplementary tools like videos, manipulables, and graphics. The Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform also equips students and tutors with test prep books for key exams like the ACT, GRE, and SAT and thousands of practice problems. If your college-age student is struggling in organic chemistry, for instance, a tutor may help them review bonding with a series of labeled illustrations and carefully chosen practice problems. If you are trying to perfect your Spanish pronunciation, on the other hand, your tutor might utilize videos, live conversation, and audio recordings.

Because all tutoring sessions are personalized with your learning style and precise needs in mind, you can spend as little or as much time as you need on specific concepts and skills. In a traditional classroom or at a traditional tutoring center, this is next to impossible. A tutor can even help you identify the areas where you need to spend more or less time if you aren’t sure what they are. For example, while one student may need to spend several months refining their time management techniques for the ACT or SAT, another student may be able to perfect their strategies in a few hours.

Ultimately, every person learns differently—and while typical classrooms aren’t equipped to teach to each student individually, tutoring is.

How are tutors on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform selected?

A great tutor can make even the most impossible of tasks seem possible. Achieving this end, however, involves more than just subject knowledge. An effective private tutor is also an excellent communicator. An effective private tutor likewise has a friendly demeanor that fosters confidence in your developing skills and content mastery. With Varsity Tutors, tutoring sessions are a positive and enriching environment to learn in, no matter your age or current abilities.

If you’re thinking, “All of that might be hard to find in tutors near me,” or if you’re simply dreading the search for a reputable tutor, rest assured that Varsity Tutors eliminates all of the hard work. Our comprehensive screening and qualification process ensures that you learn from an incredible tutor without having to conduct dozens of time-consuming interviews on your own.

Tutors on the Varsity Tutors Live Learning Platform hail from competitive colleges and universities, including America’s Ivy League institutions. All tutors must successfully pass a background check prior to meeting with students, and their academic credentials (such as any certifications, grades, and test scores) are carefully examined. Whether you’re in need of a tutor who can help your child improve their PSAT performance or you need help with compiling your graduate school applications, we verify that your instructor has the expertise necessary to help you shine.

In total, potential tutors complete six steps that determine whether or not they pass through our extensive vetting process. These steps are also designed to assess each prospective tutor’s ability to teach in a clear, engaging manner. Tutors are asked to provide a record of their prior teaching experience, and must demonstrate their aptitude via simulated lesson plans and mock tutoring sessions. This prevents frustrating scenarios in which a tutor is highly knowledgeable about a given subject, but unable to adequately convey that knowledge to their students (an experience that many of us have had at one time or another, and that can waste precious time).

The tutor profiles displayed above represent just a fraction of the tutors who are waiting to assist you with your learning goals. Varsity Tutors can help you identify the one tutor from this broad pool who is uniquely suited to your learning style and needs—all without additional effort or work on your part.

Prefer to meet with your tutor on a Saturday or Sunday morning? Not a problem—Varsity Tutors will help you find a tutor who has the subject matter expertise and the availability that you need.

Tutors can meet with you online further increasing the flexibility of this powerful educational tool.

Online tutoring sessions take place in a secure environment via desktop or mobile devices like a smartphone or tablet. Our Live Learning Platform includes features like video chat, a whiteboard, integrated practice problems, and subject-specific tools such as a document editor and a periodic table.

If you prefer face-to-face interactions, tutors like those above can also meet with you in person. Tutors come to you, eliminating the need to travel to an inconvenient tutoring center or to battle traffic in general. Private tutoring sessions can take place in your home or at a nearby location of your choosing. You might find that it’s easier to focus at your local coffee shop or library. If so, your tutor can meet you there. If your child would rather work from your kitchen or living room, their tutor can do that too.
