I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to do.

Matthew

Conversational French Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am an experienced tutor who is dedicated to educating children to foster a better, brighter future. I am very patient with my students, ensuring that they sincerely understand the taught material. Towards this end, I highly encourage questions from my students so that together we may work through any lingering confusion. While studying at NYU I worked at 2 public schools in New York City as a teacher's assistant, and last year I taught english to high school students in the south of France. I have spent several summers working as a camp counselor, where we focus on the personal and emotional growth of the campers. I spent this past fall volunteering with Citizen Schools, a government organization which places teachers in disadvantaged public schools throughout New York City. When I am not working with children, I enjoy reading, running and bike-riding, playing the guitar, and listening to the Beatles.

Roque

AP Microeconomics Tutor • +24 Subjects

I love learning, but I love teaching even more! I grew up with 9 younger siblings (I am second of 11) and we were all homeschooled! I grew up teaching my younger siblings in that environment and never stopped teaching.I believe everyone is entitled to a world class education because no matter what circumstances you were born into, you can change them through education and hard work.Everyone learns differently, and in a world of cookie cutter teaching methods I hope I can help the ones that struggle, not because they aren't intelligent or willing to work, but because they haven't been taught the way they need.

Kaitlin

ACT Prep Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a sophomore at Elon University in North Carolina. I am studying biology, chemistry, and public health and I am on a pre-medicine track. At Elon, I am very involved in the College Fellows (Research) Program and I volunteer through the Kiwanis Family. I love working with kids and I love science, so being a tutor is a perfect fit! I have been tutoring since the beginning of high school and I have worked with students who learn best in different ways, so I can tailor my explanations to make sure the student understands everything. I know that this is not always possible in a classroom setting because one person is often teaching 20+ students, so I am extremely happy and grateful I have the opportunity to help through individualized tutoring.

Paloma E.

Admissions Tutor • +11 Subjects

My interest in education stems from my love of learning and the fact that I mostly enjoyed being a student during my years in school. I naturally gravitated toward tutoring and teaching because of their creative aspects. Since we all learn differently, I believe lessons should follow suit.And although I have followed the path of education workwise, I received my degree from the University at Albany as an East Asian Studies major and an English minor because of my love of culture and language.I feel that other languages are not only fun but important, so I spent two years in China teaching ESL to middle schoolers though I didn't know the language. It gave me the opportunity to learn as much as my students were learning every day.The majority of my experience is in teaching students of a younger age, but I have taught those of all ages so that I can be comfortable with whichever.

Viviana

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +10 Subjects

My name is Viviana. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I came to the US to get my Master's Degree from UCLA many years ago. I obtained My TESOL and CBEST certificates. I founded Teach-U in Buenos Aires, many years ago- a private language agency oriented to in-company teaching, English and Spanish for Foreigners-. I also taught Junior High School in a multilingual, multicultural classroom environment.I love teaching languages and make language learning motivating for students. I use different methodology approaches depending on each individual students' learning abilities. I believe in supplementing the syllabus and contents in textbooks with visual aids, games, songs, or cultural topics that may relate to each student's age and preferences, adding real life situations. I use internet sources at all times as well.I do private tutoring services for adults, young adults, and children in their homes.Prepare my tutoring session based on students needs, calling them at home previous to their scheduled tutoring day to find out more about their difficulties as well as the topics to develop in their class. By identifying the needs of learners beforehand and whenever possible, I can adapt content to meet their needs. Assist with homework and other class assignments. I try to deliver learning strategies to improve student self-sufficiency, depending on each student's learning style.

Matthew

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +43 Subjects

I am a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a B.A. in Psychology and am currently pursuing a Master's degree at the University of South Florida in Educational Measurement and Research. I have tutored in one form or another intermittently since high school, from private tutoring in Chemistry, Algebra, Statistics, and SAT prep to T.A. responsibilities and instructor training for undergraduate statistics as part of my graduate studies.I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching. The benefit of working with one student at a time is that I can help them understand what methods work best for them, and ground complex concepts in examples that apply to his/her own life to put the material in context. The highest compliment I feel I can receive is when someone tells me "I couldn't grasp this while we were going over it in class but now I get it!"In my spare time I enjoy exercise, running and swimming in particular, and taking my miniature Australian Shepherd to the dog park.I look forward to meeting you and working together to reach your academic goals!

Aleeza

ACT English Tutor • +29 Subjects

I have a Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Integrative Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. I was accepted to Harvard Medical School but will be attending NYU Medical School in the fall on a full tuition scholarship I have worked as a tutor or teaching assistant of some kind for four of the last six years, most recently as a TA for organic chemistry 2. I am most excited about helping other students achieve their dreams of going to medical school by helping them study for the MCAT. Besides MCAT tutoring, my favorite subjects are chemistry, biology, and math which are all subjects I have tutored in before. I believe that every student can learn the material they hope to with the right guidance and effort. I hope that I can help students realize their full potential and grow in confidence as a learner. Outside of teaching, I like to perform in musicals, most recently I have been in local productions of Mamma Mia and Footloose, as well spend time with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Lawrence's 27 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Lawrence USD 497 district or is homeschooled, we match them with tutors who understand Kansas academic standards and can support their specific learning needs.

Your first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's catching up in math, preparing for Kansas state assessments, or getting ahead in a challenging subject. The tutor will ask questions, identify strengths and gaps, and create a personalized plan moving forward. Most students and tutors use this time to build rapport and establish a productive working relationship.

Lawrence has an average student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1, which means classroom instruction is often divided among many students with different needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring gives your student undivided attention, allowing tutors to adjust pacing, explain concepts multiple ways, and focus on exactly what your student needs to master. Research consistently shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates learning compared to group settings.

Lawrence students frequently seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and science. We also support students preparing for Kansas state assessments, ACT prep, and AP courses. Whether your student needs foundational skill-building or advanced academic support, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a tutor experienced in that subject area.

Tutors working with Lawrence students are familiar with Kansas Content Standards and state assessment expectations. They can target specific skills your student needs to demonstrate proficiency in reading, math, science, and other subjects tested at the state level. This targeted approach helps students build confidence and competency in areas where they're struggling.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with Lawrence families to find a tutoring plan that fits their budget and schedule—whether that's weekly sessions, intensive support before a major test, or ongoing academic help. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get personalized pricing information.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring. Many hold degrees in their subject area, have classroom teaching experience, or bring specialized expertise (like ACT prep or AP subject mastery). Each tutor is carefully matched to your student's needs to ensure a productive learning partnership.

You'll see progress through improved grades, stronger performance on quizzes and tests, and increased confidence in the subject. Most tutors provide regular feedback and can share specific examples of skills your student has mastered. If you're not seeing the progress you hoped for, we can adjust the tutoring approach or connect you with a different tutor who might be a better fit.
