John

Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am prepared to instruct if need be. My job is not complete until a student realizes the potential within themselves to not only succeed on tests but also understands the way to think about the subject. I can give a student a fish, but they are better off being taught how to fish.

Darren

12th Grade math Tutor • +70 Subjects

I am a sophomore at IUPUI, currently in the process of getting my Mathematics, Economic and Computer Science majors. I have a lot of informal experience helping my peers in various classes during the after-hours, I have done the same all throughout my high school career as well. I love tutoring anybody for just about anything. Being personable and authentic is extremely important to me, but not quite as important as honesty, respect and compassion. Staying true to my word and being reliable is what I tend to strive for. Most of all, I want to be inspiring. I want to change people, I want to help them unlock their potential for success, I want people to respect themselves, their family, friends, all of society. I hope to do whatever I can to make society a better place, to improve our understanding of the Universe, and hopefully ourselves. (= Have fun learning! :Dd (Also, MATHEMATICS is one of my strongest suits)

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Indianapolis's 317 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in one of the 82 school districts across the Indianapolis area, we can match them with a tutor who understands Indiana's academic standards and can provide personalized support tailored to their specific needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Indiana's academic standards and curriculum requirements. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify gaps in understanding and work at your student's pace to build mastery of key concepts—whether that's Indiana's math standards, language arts benchmarks, or science expectations. This targeted approach is especially valuable given the 19:1 student-teacher ratio in many Indianapolis classrooms, where individualized attention can be limited.

Indianapolis students typically seek tutoring in math, English/language arts, science, and standardized test preparation (including SAT, ACT, and Indiana state assessments). Many students also benefit from tutoring in subjects like algebra, geometry, chemistry, and writing skills—areas where personalized instruction can make a significant difference in building confidence and improving grades.

During the first session, the tutor will get to know your student, assess their current understanding of the subject, and discuss specific goals—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for an Indiana state assessment, or building foundational skills. This initial conversation helps the tutor create a personalized plan that addresses your student's unique learning style and academic needs.

Many students see noticeable improvement within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, particularly when working with a tutor who understands their learning style and can provide targeted practice. The timeline depends on the subject, your student's starting point, and how frequently they work with their tutor—but personalized 1-on-1 instruction typically accelerates progress compared to classroom-only learning.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring their area. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can provide quality instruction. When you connect with a tutor, you'll learn about their background, experience with students in Indianapolis, and teaching approach so you can feel confident in the match.

Yes, tutoring is designed to fit around your student's schedule. Whether your student is juggling school, extracurriculars, or other commitments, Varsity Tutors can connect them with a tutor who offers flexible scheduling. You can arrange sessions at times that work best for your family.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. Varsity Tutors works with families to find options that fit different budgets. We recommend contacting us to discuss your specific situation—we can provide pricing information and help you understand what to expect based on the type of support your student needs.
