Jessica
College Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.

Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.
Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Decatur's 31 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Decatur City Schools or Morgan County Schools district, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide targeted help in their specific subject areas.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master Alabama's academic standards at their own pace. Tutors work with Decatur students on the specific concepts and skills their schools emphasize, whether that's Alabama Math Standards, English Language Arts benchmarks, or science and social studies content aligned with state expectations.
Your student's first session starts with an assessment where the tutor learns about their current level, learning style, and specific challenges. This personalized approach means the tutor can immediately begin addressing gaps and building on strengths, rather than following a generic curriculum.
Decatur students typically seek tutoring in math, English, science, and standardized test prep. With an average student-teacher ratio of 16.7:1 in our local schools, many students benefit from the focused, one-on-one attention that tutoring provides to fill gaps and accelerate learning in these core subjects.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families to create flexible plans that fit different budgets, and we're transparent about pricing from the start—there are no hidden fees or long-term contracts required.
Tutors are vetted professionals with strong subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring their areas of focus. Many have backgrounds in education or have excelled in their fields, and they're matched with your student based on both subject knowledge and teaching approach that fits your student's needs.
Yes, standardized test prep is one of the most common reasons Decatur students connect with tutors. Personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on your student's specific weak areas—whether that's math problem-solving, reading comprehension, or test-taking strategy—rather than generic prep courses.
Getting started is straightforward: tell us about your student's needs and goals, and we match them with an appropriate tutor. You can then schedule your first session at a time that works for your family, and begin personalized instruction right away.
