Jacob

Calculus Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am eager to help students thrive because I'm still very much a student myself, and will be for the foreseeable future. Though I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.

Karishma

Calculus Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am very dedicated to helping students excel in school and in helping them develop study methods and styles that work best for them and that will serve them throughout school. I previously tutored with Boys Hope Girls Hope in Evanston, IL. I tutored middle and high school students in Spanish and English, and I was able to help them develop study strategies such as using flashcards or translating a sentence they had spoken aloud that day in their heads for extra language practice. I am very excited to be able to tutor again and to work with students. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a previously struggling student excel and to have helped them improve along the way. Hobbies: reading, music, running, art, books, dancing, writing

Jonathan

AP Statistics Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am eager to help students wrestle with and master concepts in their math and physics classes. I have extensive experience tutoring students in both math and physics at the high school and college level in one on one and larger group settings. During my PhD I was awarded a teaching fellowship which allowed me to continue teaching while I continued to perform research and carry out my dissertation work.

I am a high school English teacher, currently working primarily with 10th grade students. I have previously worked at middle and elementary schools as well. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a B.A. in English and Theatre. I then got my M.S.Ed from Northwestern. I have worked with children of all ages in various capacities, including teaching, and I find that the best way for students to learn is to have fun and engage them.

Camilla

Calculus Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a current law student at Washington University in St. Louis and also graduated summa cum laude from their undergraduate program in 2014. I have dual citizenship with the US and Chile, and my hispanic roots have always been very important to me. I grew up speaking Spanish but have also dedicated a significant portion of my academic studies to Spanish language and literature as well. I am passionate about helping others reach their goals and take pride in helping make the Spanish language and various Spanish-speaking cultures more accessible to anyone willing to learn.

Elena

Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.

Margot

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a student at Boston College studying Economics and English. I have an excellent academic record, haven taken 14 AP courses throughout high school, and have preformed well on many standardized exams. I strive to help other students to do the same! I have three years of experience tutoring peers at high school, college, and privately, primarily in English, Math, and SAT prep. Though I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students conquer Standardized Tests (specifically the reading and writing sections) and English. I want to help students excel on Standardized Exams so they can pursue their higher education goals. I direct my tutoring towards identifying students' learning methods and catering to those to establish continued engagement in doing so, I hope to foster a love of learning similar to mine. Outside of tutoring and school, I enjoy reading and believe that reading consistently is the key to succeeding in writing and preforming well on Standardized Exams. My love for creative writing has also led me to draft a novel which I am continuing to edit, and as an Assistant Director of the Campus Activities Board at Boston College I plan live music-focused events to engage students on campus.

I am taking time to explore my lifelong interest in teaching. I began tutoring at the University of Notre Dame, where I worked for three years as a teaching assistant in a Cell Biology laboratory course. There, I enjoyed helping my peers understand the larger picture developing through our weekly experiments. At Loyola University Chicago, I continued to tutor a variety of subjects while earning a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Vernon Hills's 14 schools and 4 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in District 15, 43, 45, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic expectations in your area.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is highly effective for helping students master Illinois State Standards—research shows that individualized tutoring can significantly accelerate learning compared to classroom instruction alone. Tutors working with Vernon Hills students focus on the specific standards and benchmarks your student's school emphasizes, whether in math, reading, science, or social studies, ensuring they're building skills that directly support their grade-level success.

Vernon Hills students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly high demand for math (algebra, geometry, and calculus), reading comprehension and writing, science (biology, chemistry, physics), and test prep for the ACT and SAT. Many students also benefit from tutoring in foreign languages and exam preparation for AP and honors courses, which are popular in our local schools.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current skill level, understand their specific challenges, and learn about their learning style and goals. This personalized approach allows the tutor to create a customized plan that addresses your student's needs and aligns with what they're working on in their Vernon Hills school classroom.

Absolutely. Personalized tutoring is especially effective for students who are falling behind in a particular subject or class. Tutors can focus specifically on the areas where your student is struggling—whether it's a challenging math class, writing skills, or test preparation—and work at their pace to build confidence and understanding before the next assessment.

Yes, tutoring isn't just for students who are struggling—it's equally valuable for advanced learners. Gifted students in Vernon Hills benefit from tutors who can provide enrichment, challenge them with advanced material, help them prepare for AP and honors courses, and support them in developing deeper expertise in subjects they're passionate about.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Tutors are vetted professionals with backgrounds in education, and many have experience working with students in Illinois schools and understanding local curriculum standards. Each tutor is matched to your student based on their specific needs and learning goals.

Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your family's busy schedule—whether that means after school, evenings, weekends, or during school breaks. This flexibility makes it easier for Vernon Hills students to get the academic support they need without adding stress to an already packed calendar.
