I am a recent Purdue University graduate in Computer Engineering. As a teaching assistant for multiple courses including C Programming, Freshman Engineering, Digital Systems Design, and iOS programming, I had the opportunity to meet many great students and assist them in completing their courses successfully and meaningfully. I hope to continue doing that here with Varsity Tutors. I am also strong in high school-level STEM classes, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math.

I'm comfortable with a wide range of subjects but I'm most passionate about History, English and Literature. These are topics I love discussing in general and I'm always happy to have a chance to help someone else find enjoyment in the subject. Trying to encourage of love of learning is an important part of my teaching philosophy and I try to do so by finding out what my students are interested in.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, IN, where I earned my doctoral degree in contemporary American poetry. Before that I earned my masters in English at Wake Forest University, NC. I am passionate about poetry, writing, and the English language, and dedicated to helping others understand and achieve competence in the writing process. I have taught college-level composition courses, as well as a poetry course, and have tutored at Wake Forest University's writing center for two years, and therefore have experience in coaching students at different skill levels through many stages of the writing process, including formulating arguments, brainstorming ideas, handling grammatical issues, finding sources for research, and revising essays. I continue to enjoy meeting students where they are and walking with them through the learning process. We are all students of language; I find a deep satisfaction in enabling others to become great students.
Ten-plus years of tutoring students from elementary through college means Rachelle has seen every stage of ELA development, from early paragraph construction to multi-source essay writing. She breaks down the connection between reading comprehension and written expression, so students learn to pull textual evidence and use it to support a clear thesis.
Hi there! I'm Keegan and I love helping students reach their goals and improve on their knowledge base! I bring a diverse set of skills as I am currently a Senior Pre-Law and Engineering student at the University of Central Florida's Honors College. I have been a tutor for 8 years and have helped over 1,000 students hit their goal grades! I specialize in giving clarity to complex topics and developing an understanding of basic concepts as well as advanced material. My focus is in elementary through high school English and K-Undergrad Engineering. My goal is to give every student a fresh look at the material they are studying and to help them feel refreshed and excited in their studies!
I am a singer-songwriter and I also help other local artist by leasing my home recording equipment which affords me with ample opportunities to interact with a wide variety of people.
I'm Toni, a college English professor looking to help you better engage with your learning interests! As a professor, my teaching style emphasizes active learning as a central component, aiming to make my classes more centered on students discovering the material and constructing their own knowledge. In teaching and tutoring, I see myself more as a facilitator of learning who provides students the necessary tools and direction for them to uncover the concepts themselves. Soon we will engage in this process of discovery together!
I'm grateful for every opportunity I have to help students through teaching and tutoring.
I am a recent graduate of The University of Texas with a major in psychology and a minor in Italian studies I am passionate about learning in and outside of the classroom. It brings me joy to see people gain new understandings, and I am excited about the opportunity to help people in this process.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology with a strong background in science and math. I would love to tutor these subjects, especially algebra, calculus, and physics, but I would also enjoy tutoring SAT Reading or even guitar. I am passionate about working with my students and seeing them succeed.
I'm currently a senior at the University of Michigan pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Business. I've been tutoring for 7+ years now, and I love making an impact in my students' lives! Previously, I've taught Math (up until pre-calculus), Science, Reading, Grammar, Writing, Computer Science (Java, C++, Python, Scratch, etc), and many more. I truly believe that working individually with students will not only help my students learn but also help me in growing as I learn from those around me.
I am comfortable tutoring a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about writing and language, and I truly believe that strong writing skills are an asset in every area of life. Through my experience as an after-school program manager, I learned to build relationships and work well with students, parents, and teachers to meet student goals. In response to the pandemic, I quickly learned ways to adapt my educational youth work to a virtual setting. My social work background helps me connect with students on a personal and social-emotional level, which lays a trusting foundation for real growth and learning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tutors who work with Varsity Tutors understand the standards and expectations across Denver's 9 school districts, from elementary writing foundations through high school AP Literature and Composition. Personalized instruction allows tutors to align lessons with your student's specific grade level and school's curriculum while moving at a pace that works for their learning style—something that's difficult in classrooms with average student-teacher ratios like Denver's 14.4:1.
Reading comprehension challenges often stem from issues with vocabulary, inference skills, or text complexity rather than a lack of intelligence. Tutors can diagnose specific problem areas through diagnostic assessments and use targeted strategies like annotation techniques, guided questioning, and close reading practices. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get immediate feedback and can practice retrieval techniques that build deeper understanding of complex texts.
Strong writing requires more than grammar rules—it needs practice with planning, drafting, revision, and receiving specific feedback. Tutors work with students on essay structure, argument development, and stylistic growth across different genres (narrative, persuasive, analytical). Rather than one-size-fits-all instruction, personalized tutoring lets students focus on their specific weaknesses, whether that's thesis statements, paragraph organization, or sentence variety, with real-time guidance from an expert.
Literary analysis requires students to move beyond plot summary to understanding theme, symbolism, characterization, and authorial intent. Tutors guide students through close reading strategies, help them develop textual evidence skills, and teach essay structures like the five-paragraph essay, literary thesis statements, and analytical frameworks. This personalized approach is particularly valuable for AP Literature students preparing for exams or those writing college application essays where sophisticated analysis stands out.
Yes. Tutors can prepare students for standardized tests like the SAT (which includes Evidence-Based Reading & Writing sections) and ACT English/Reading, as well as state-specific assessments. Personalized instruction focuses on the specific skills these tests measure—reading strategy, grammar and syntax, analytical writing—while also building test-taking confidence and time management. Tutors can pinpoint which question types are most challenging for your student and provide targeted practice.
In Denver classrooms with 14+ students per teacher, students often work through the same curriculum at the same pace regardless of their individual needs. Personalized tutoring allows tutors to customize lessons to address your student's specific reading level, writing challenges, and learning style. Whether your student needs foundation-building in phonics and fluency or advanced preparation for honors classes, one-on-one instruction provides the focused attention and immediate feedback that drives measurable improvement.
Look for tutors with strong backgrounds in English literature, composition, and teaching experience at your student's grade level. Ideal tutors understand different learning styles, are skilled at breaking down complex concepts, and can explain the 'why' behind grammar and writing rules. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you get matched with experienced tutors who understand Denver curricula and can provide the personalized instruction your student needs to build confidence and skills in reading, writing, and literary analysis.
