Yes. Tutors are experienced working with various homeschool approaches—from structured curricula like Saxon Math or Sonlight to classical education frameworks to unschooling models. During your initial consultation, you can discuss your specific curriculum and learning objectives so the tutor can tailor instruction to complement what you're already doing at home.

Many homeschooling parents struggle with teaching subjects outside their expertise (particularly advanced math and sciences), maintaining consistent accountability and motivation, ensuring grade-level mastery across multiple children, and managing the emotional labor of being both parent and teacher. Personalized tutoring addresses these by providing expert instruction in challenging subjects, offering an objective third party to motivate students, and freeing parents to focus on facilitation rather than content delivery.

The tutor will assess your student's current level, understand your homeschool curriculum and goals, identify specific areas needing support, and establish a personalized learning plan. This initial session sets the foundation for effective instruction and allows both the tutor and student to build rapport before diving into focused skill-building.

Tutoring works around your family's schedule. Whether your homeschool operates on a traditional school calendar, year-round model, or customized rhythm, you can set session frequency and timing that fit your needs—from weekly support to intensive help during specific units or before standardized tests.

Tutors use formative assessment and progress tracking to monitor mastery of grade-level standards and adjust instruction as needed. They can help identify whether a student needs to strengthen foundational skills or is ready to accelerate, ensuring your homeschool stays aligned with learning progressions while maintaining your flexibility to move at your own pace.

Tutors support all core academic subjects including math, language arts, science, and social studies, plus specialized areas like foreign languages, test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams), writing, and advanced coursework. You can connect with tutors who specialize in the exact subjects where your family needs the most support.

Start by telling Varsity Tutors about your student's grade level, subjects needing support, and your homeschool approach. You'll be matched with an expert tutor whose experience aligns with your needs, and you can schedule an initial session to see if it's a good fit before committing to ongoing support.
