Wilmington families navigating 81 schools across 15 districts know that academic ambition looks different depending on whether a student is targeting AP scores, SAT benchmarks, or high school placement exams. Even in classrooms with a 13.1:1 student-teacher ratio, the individualized attention that sharpens a strong student into an exceptional one is hard to come by — and that's exactly where personalized tutoring makes a difference.
From the first session, tutors matched through Varsity Tutors assess each student's goals and learning style to build a customized plan — whether that means pushing deeper into algebra and geometry, strengthening writing, or building test-taking strategy for the DCAS, SAT, or ACT. Tutors bring subject expertise and familiarity with Delaware's academic standards, and sessions flex around school calendars, sports, and extracurriculars so nothing has to give.

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Wilmington's 81 schools and all 15 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a public, charter, or private school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands the specific curriculum and expectations at their school.
Tutors work with students on Delaware's grade-level standards and benchmarks, whether that's mastering early literacy in elementary school or preparing for high school Regents exams. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify gaps and fill them efficiently, which is especially valuable given Wilmington's average 13.1:1 student-teacher ratio in classrooms where individual attention can be limited.
Wilmington students frequently seek help in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and test preparation for standardized assessments. Science and foreign language support are also popular, particularly for students preparing for high school placement exams or looking to strengthen their academic profile.
The first session is an assessment and connection point. The tutor will learn about your student's academic goals, current challenges, and learning style, then create a personalized plan moving forward. This initial meeting helps establish rapport and ensures the tutoring approach is tailored to your student's needs from day one.
Many students see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. With personalized instruction focused on specific gaps, students often experience faster progress than they would in a classroom setting, especially when tutoring is combined with consistent practice between sessions.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have expertise in their subject area and experience working with Delaware students. Tutors may include certified teachers, subject matter experts, and experienced educators who understand local curriculum standards and can adapt their teaching to meet individual student needs.
Absolutely. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your student's school day, sports, activities, and other commitments. Whether your student needs help before school, after school, on weekends, or during school breaks, we can find a tutor whose availability matches your family's schedule.
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in preparing for Delaware DCAS assessments, SAT, ACT, AP exams, and other standardized tests. Tutors can help students build test-taking strategies, review content, and practice under timed conditions to build confidence and improve scores.
