It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what t...

Frequently Asked Questions

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction complements homeschooling by providing expert guidance in specific subjects, filling knowledge gaps, and offering accountability. Tutors can help with curriculum alignment, challenging concepts, test preparation, and enrichment—giving homeschool families access to specialized expertise they might not have in-house.

Yes. Tutors can adapt to whatever curriculum you're using—whether it's a structured program like Saxon Math or a self-designed approach. They'll review your materials, understand your learning goals, and provide targeted support that aligns with your homeschool's pace and philosophy.

Many homeschool families struggle with teaching advanced math and sciences, maintaining consistent progress in all subjects, and ensuring students stay on grade-level benchmarks. Other challenges include motivation, accountability, and knowing when a student needs intervention. Personalized tutoring addresses these by providing expert instruction, structured accountability, and targeted skill-building.

The first session is an assessment and planning meeting. A tutor will learn about your student's learning style, current curriculum, academic goals, and any areas of struggle. They'll establish a baseline understanding of your student's skills and create a personalized plan for ongoing support.

Tutoring schedules are highly flexible and designed around your homeschool's needs. Whether you need weekly sessions, intensive support before a standardized test, or help during a particularly challenging unit, tutors work with your family's schedule and learning timeline.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have experience in your subject areas and understand homeschool learning. You'll share your curriculum, goals, and student's needs, and we'll match you with someone whose expertise and teaching style fit your family's approach.

Progress looks different for each student. Common measures include mastery of specific skills, improved performance on assessments, increased confidence, and progress through curriculum units. Tutors track growth and regularly communicate with families about what's working and any adjustments needed.

Yes. Tutors can prepare students for SAT, ACT, AP exams, or other standardized tests. They can also support students in building strong academic records for college applications. If you need documentation of coursework and grades, tutors can help ensure your student's learning is well-documented and aligned with college expectations.
