BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

My name is Marius Unnvik. I'm originally from Norway, but I have lived in the United States since high school. I completed my Bachelor of Science degree (majors: psychology, history; minor: comparative religion and philosophy) at Central Methodist University in Missouri and am currently in the fourth year of my PhD program in experimental psychology at the University of Arkansas. I have tutored and mentored undergraduate students for nearly six years, including when I was an undergraduate student myself. Through my job in the Spark Lab (https://sparklab.uark.edu/students/), I have managed a team of ten research assistants since the Fall of 2023. As a PhD candidate, I mentor students on many subjects. I also mentor honors students through the process of writing a bachelor thesis. I have broad academic interests, but I'm particularly passionate about teaching students how to write more formally, create scientific research projects, navigate statistics, code statistical models (using R software), present academic materials, study more effectively, and take the GRE.

BA Arkansas Tech University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Arkansas Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I also received certificates of proficiency for Mathematics and Applied Statistics while I attended. Education in our society is required for one to be successful, to not be taken advantage of. I believe that students need the skills that math and programming teaches to be able to navigate the world around them. If I can also instill a passion for math along the way, that is merely a bonus.

Anirudh
Undergraduate Degree Emory University
2+ Years Tutoring

My previous tutoring experience comes from tutoring students at my high school and at the Gideon Math and Reading Center. I often taught math topics that students were not able to understand or specific problems. The math topics were usually geometry or algebra 2 questions/concepts. I also taught ACT and PSAT concepts to students. I also often helped my friends and my sister with difficult math homework problems that were assigned. Math is my strong suit and therefore, I am most comfortable teaching these subjects well. However, in regards to sciences or English, I am knowledgeable in these subject areas as well.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Jonesboro's 38 schools and 4 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Jonesboro School District, Nettleton, Westside, or other local districts, we can match them with tutors who understand Arkansas academic standards and local curriculum expectations.

While Jonesboro's average student-teacher ratio is 15.3:1, personalized 1-on-1 instruction gives your student undivided attention tailored to their specific learning style and pace. This focused approach helps address gaps and build confidence in ways that aren't always possible in a traditional classroom setting, allowing tutors to adjust explanations and practice in real time based on your student's needs.

Tutors working with Jonesboro students are familiar with Arkansas Department of Education standards and benchmarks across grade levels and subjects. They can target specific skills your student needs to master—whether that's reading comprehension, math fluency, science concepts, or test preparation—and build a learning plan that aligns with what's expected in Arkansas classrooms.

We work with Jonesboro students across all core subjects, but math and reading comprehension are among the most requested areas, particularly as students transition between grade levels. We also support students preparing for standardized tests like the ACT, as well as those needing help with science, writing, and subject-specific courses like algebra, geometry, and chemistry.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—understanding their strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, ask about what's working and what isn't in their current classes, and work together to create a personalized plan for moving forward. This foundation helps ensure every session that follows is targeted and effective.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who can work around your family's schedule—whether that means sessions after school, on weekends, or during the week. We understand that Jonesboro families juggle sports, activities, and other commitments, so we work to find tutoring times that actually work for you.

When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match your student with a tutor based on their specific needs, subject, and learning style. You can discuss your student's personality, what motivates them, and any teaching approaches that have worked well in the past. This personalized matching process helps ensure your student works with someone who understands their goals and can communicate in a way that clicks with them.

Progress looks different for each student—it might mean improved test scores, stronger grades on assignments, increased confidence in class participation, or a better understanding of challenging concepts. Tutors regularly check in with families about what they're seeing, and you'll notice changes in your student's attitude toward schoolwork and their willingness to tackle harder problems. Most families start seeing meaningful progress within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring.
