Ingrid
BA Northwestern University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Christine
BA Northwestern University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a third-year student pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in Human Development and Psychological Services and Psychology at Northwestern University's School of Education and Social Policy. Before coming to Northwestern, I had the privilege to grow up with good teachers under a rigorous IB curriculum in Shanghai, China, granting me access to quality education that I know many of my peers and other students across the world do not have. Thus, my hopes to combat education inequities, utilize my experiences with multicultural/special education contexts, and be continually inspired by students in addition to offering them the personalized support they deserve is what drives me to work with students. I've guided students with special needs aged 3-14 through summer program activities in Shanghai, coordinated an after-school program for K-12 refugee students in Chicago, and interacted with secondary school students in Jinja, Uganda. Since my first year in college, I've worked as a tutor for a morning program in an elementary school in Evanston. I have the most experience tutoring Elementary School Math and Reading and the most content knowledge in Psychology, though I am also passionate about helping students with ACTs/College apps due to having myself navigated through the system's challenges recently. In addition, I'd be happy to dive into Mandarin Chinese as it is another native language I speak. From my tutoring experiences and taking classes within the Learning Sciences, I find it important to listen to student needs and interests while maintaining encouragement to challenge themselves in the spirit of learning, and be a source of emotional support in addition to providing knowledge. In my spare time, I love reading, playing the guitar, having conversations with people of all different backgrounds, and traveling locally or abroad to experience different cultures.

I'm Mickey, a recent Northwestern University engineering grad who moved back to Evanston near the end of 2019. I'm great at math, and excited to help teach students in any subject I can! I'm predominately looking to do online tutoring currently, as it's important to stay healthy and responsible during these crazy times. Still plenty to learn online to stay up while schools are down, though!

Hans
BA Northwestern University
10+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago. While there, I majored in Economics and minored in International Studies with a focus in International Political Economy and Development. Beyond these classes, I also had a healthy, eclectic interest in a wide range of subject areas including Multivariable Calculus, Physics, and Film. It is also worth noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and success on AP tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Evanston's three school districts—Evanston Township High School District 202, Evanston School District 65, and other local schools. With 27 schools and nearly 10,000 students in the area, we work with learners at every grade level and academic background, whether they attend public, charter, or private institutions.

During the first session, a tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss specific goals (whether that's improving grades, preparing for standardized tests, or strengthening skills in a particular subject), and develop a personalized plan. This initial meeting helps establish the foundation for effective, targeted instruction tailored to your student's needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand Illinois curriculum requirements and can reinforce concepts aligned with state standards in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Whether your student needs support in core subjects or test preparation for Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps close gaps and build mastery.

While Evanston schools maintain an average 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio—better than many districts—classroom instruction still serves diverse learning needs. Personalized tutoring provides individualized attention focused entirely on your student's specific challenges, learning style, and pace, complementing classroom learning with targeted skill-building that's difficult to achieve in group settings.

Evanston students frequently seek support in math (algebra, geometry, and calculus), English language arts (writing and reading comprehension), standardized test prep (SAT and ACT), and sciences like chemistry and biology. We also work with students on AP courses, foreign languages, and subject-specific challenges that arise across the district.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We offer flexible scheduling and can work with families to find a plan that fits their budget and needs. Contact us for a personalized quote and to discuss what investment level makes sense for your student's goals.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring students at various levels.
