Amanda

ACT English Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a graduate of Brandeis University, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in History and Psychology. I am also a recent graduate of University College London, where I received my Master of Science in Child Development. I have been tutoring for several years, beginning in high school when I tutored as part of the community service component of the International Baccalaureate Program. I have since then continued tutoring in various subjects and at a range of levels. Some of my favorite subjects include English, Math (up through the Algebra II level), Social Sciences, and SAT/ACT preparation. I enjoy contributing to the success of my students and seeing them improve in their skills, scores, and attitude towards learning. I make a point of getting to know each student so I can meet his or her specific needs and teach in a compatible style. Most of all, I make my lessons engaging and interactive and focus on genuine learning rather than rote memorization. In my spare time I enjoy travel, cooking, reading, running, and writing.

Belinda Colleen

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am a professional writer with over 20 years of experience. My teaching and tutoring experience spans over 15 years and includes learners of all ages. As a writer and reader of both fiction and nonfiction, I enjoy teaching reading comprehension, test-taking skills and literature. One of the techniques that has worked well for me is to find out as much as possible about a student so that I can customize my teaching techniques to correspond with their interests.I have taught students in the "No Child Left Behind Program" in the subject areas of reading, grammar, writing, algebra and math. In the business world I have also taught business finance and real estate courses.I believe that all children are capable of improving academically provided the instructor can find the best way to customize lesson plans to engage each student's natural interests and aptitudes.

I have a strong love for learning, reading, and exploring.While in high school I taught hundreds of students on a variety of subjects, age ranging fourth grade through high school.

I also worked hard on helping students develop core competencies such as critical analysis and research skills, to gain the tools for future success in any subject. I believe that every student is capable of greatness, and it is important to work with the individual to understand how they can fulfill their potential.While in college I studied politics, history, environmental studies, philosophy, literature, logic, and a myriad of other topics. I have a diverse array of interests and a love of learning, and I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with students and help them on their educational journey.

Qiwei

ACT Math Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm currently attending University of Central Florida for a B.S. in General Chemistry and a Minor in Computer Science. Having taken many challenging courses in the past I understand the importance of guidance outside of the class in order to achieve success.Personally, I thoroughly enjoy learning math and science subjects and have been tutoring since high school. My inspiration for tutoring was my Chemistry teacher back in high school who provided an extremely fun and interactive learning environment. I hope to incorporate these elements into my own classroom to help my students to better understand the material.Currently, I'm tutoring Chemistry and Math related subjects. In these subjects I believe that practicing problems are the most efficient way to learn the material and my classroom will heavily reflect this philosophy.As a full-time student and a part-time Computer Support Technician my free time is often limited. However, when I'm free I like to unwind by learning new recipes and playing the game of Go.

Adam

College Geography Tutor • +36 Subjects

I am currently working on my teaching license in 7-12 Integrated Social Studies. I have a Master's Degree in History, with a focus in American History. I understand that in order to truly learn history, one doesn't need to just know dates and names. One needs to hold an understanding of the context of the events being studied. I have a strong passion towards the subject, and I want to inspire my students to have that same passion. Learning social studies, whether it be geography or history, is imperative in understanding our society's foundation.

Marika

Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I discovered my love of teaching back in elementary school when classmates started asking me for homework help, and I haven't looked back since! I began formally tutoring in high school and am now on a path towards earning a degree in secondary education from Clark University and a teaching license. I aced nearly every class I took in high school, 10 of which were AP, and have experience tutoring for all these subjects, including math through calculus, English, and several types of history.My top specialty is physics. I am currently a senior working towards my B.A. in physics, and I just returned from a year of study in Europe, during which I worked full time as a climate change researcher at the University of Helsinki in Finland and passed two intensive PhD level atmospheric science courses. This subject is my passion and I love passing that on!Outside of academics, I love playing music, especially in marching band and a Scottish bagpipe band, and dancing!My favorite moments are being able to explain something to someone and watch them light up when they finally understand. I understand that sometimes it's difficult, but I think there's no better feeling than overcoming that in order to learn, and I love being able to spread that around.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Arlington Heights's three school districts, which serve approximately 8,200 students across 30 schools. Whether your student attends a school in District 25, District 15, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic expectations in Arlington Heights.

Yes. With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 in Arlington Heights schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to get the individualized attention they need. Tutoring fills that gap, allowing students to ask questions, work at their own pace, and dive deeper into concepts that may get rushed in a classroom setting.

Tutors who work with Varsity Tutors are familiar with Illinois State Standards and the specific expectations for each grade level and subject. They tailor instruction to help students master the skills and content they need to succeed on Illinois assessments and in their coursework, whether that's in math, reading, science, or other core subjects.

Students in Arlington Heights seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including math (algebra, geometry, pre-calculus), English and reading comprehension, science, and standardized test preparation. The specific needs vary by grade level—younger students often focus on foundational math and reading skills, while high schoolers frequently need support with advanced math and test prep for the ACT or SAT.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student is strong and where they need support, then develop a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure every session after that is focused and productive.

Varsity Tutors works with the schedules of Arlington Heights families, offering personalized instruction at times that fit your family's needs. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during the school year or summer, we connect them with tutors who can accommodate their schedule.

Results vary by student and their starting point, but many students see improvements in grades, test scores, and confidence. Some students focus on mastering a specific skill or concept, while others work toward bigger goals like improving their GPA or preparing for standardized tests. A tutor will work with your student to set clear, achievable goals and track progress along the way.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience working with students in their grade level or subject area. Tutors go through a vetting process to ensure they're qualified and a good fit for each student's needs. You'll get someone who knows the material and knows how to teach it effectively.
