Yes, Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can support whatever curriculum you're using—whether that's a structured program like Saxon Math or Apologia, a classical approach, unschooling, or a hybrid model. Tutors review your specific curriculum and learning goals to provide instruction that complements and reinforces what you're already teaching. This ensures consistency across subjects and helps students progress confidently through their chosen educational path.

Many homeschooled students struggle with staying motivated in subjects they find difficult, managing their own pacing without classroom structure, or tackling complex topics like advanced math and science without immediate expert support. Others face challenges with accountability, time management, or knowing whether they're meeting grade-level expectations. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by providing expert guidance, structured accountability, and the motivation that comes from working with a dedicated instructor who understands homeschooling.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss learning goals, and understand your homeschool curriculum and teaching approach. This helps the tutor create a personalized plan that fills gaps, builds confidence, and aligns with your educational vision. Expect the session to feel collaborative—it's an opportunity to establish rapport and set clear expectations for how tutoring will support your homeschool.

Tutors can help you assess whether your student is meeting grade-level benchmarks in key subjects like math, language arts, and science by comparing progress against standard curricula and learning standards. They can also recommend standardized assessments or portfolio reviews if you want external validation of progress. This guidance is especially helpful for homeschoolers who want to ensure their students are prepared for college entrance exams or transitions to traditional schools.

Varsity Tutors connects homeschooled students with tutors across all major subjects—math (from elementary through calculus), language arts, science, history, foreign languages, and test preparation for SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Whether your student needs foundational support, enrichment in advanced topics, or help preparing for college, tutors can provide expert instruction tailored to your homeschool's needs and your student's learning goals.

The ideal frequency depends on your student's needs, goals, and learning pace. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for consistent support in a challenging subject, while others might meet bi-weekly or focus on intensive sessions before major assessments or transitions. Your tutor can recommend a schedule based on your student's progress and help you adjust as needs change throughout the school year.

You can track progress through improved grades on assignments and assessments, mastery of specific skills (like solving multi-step equations or writing essays), increased confidence and engagement with difficult subjects, and performance on standardized tests. Your tutor will help establish clear learning objectives at the start and provide regular feedback on how your student is progressing toward those goals. Many homeschooling families also notice improved motivation and independence as their students gain competence.
