Jacob
Calculus Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am eager to help students thrive because I'm still very much a student myself, and will be for the foreseeable future. Though I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.

I am a self-motivated, results-driven educator who enjoys teaching/tutoring students of all stages and from diverse backgrounds. I have a doctorate in Biological Sciences from the University of Illinois, Chicago and over 5 years' experience teaching college level biology courses in classroom (as a teaching assistant) and in private tutoring settings. In my teaching/tutoring roles, I plan and lead discussion sections in Mendelian and Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry, and Cell Biology. I create worksheets and practice questions to help student prepare for exams. I also guide students to understand and master course concepts in the above-mentioned courses as well as in research methods, and dissertation writing . I have helped improve students' grades, self-confidence and study skills, in part through motivating students and practicing constructivist teaching/learning approaches.

I am currently a fourth year medical student in Chicago. I attended the University of Notre Dame for undergrad, where I was a double major in Chinese and pre-medicine. When I am not studying, I enjoy spending time with family, volunteering, traveling, baking, and being active. I love sharing with others the knowledge and advice I have received in my education.
Elena
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Quincy's four school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends school in Quincy, Marblehead, or surrounding areas, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and Illinois academic standards.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 16.4:1 in Quincy schools, many students benefit from the focused attention of 1-on-1 instruction. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to target your student's specific learning gaps, adapt pacing to their needs, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific areas where support is needed. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss their goals, and learn about their learning style so they can create a personalized plan aligned with their Quincy school's curriculum and Illinois standards.
Quincy students typically seek support in math, reading comprehension, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT. We also work with students on Illinois-specific requirements, including preparation for state assessments and subject-specific coursework in sciences and social studies.
Absolutely. Personalized tutoring is particularly effective for students who need to catch up or build confidence in core subjects. A tutor can work at your student's pace, reteach concepts in different ways, and help them develop stronger study habits—all while coordinating with their Quincy school's curriculum to ensure they stay on track.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families in Quincy to create flexible tutoring schedules that fit their needs and budget. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific goals and learning needs.
Varsity Tutors connects students with experienced tutors who have expertise in their subject areas and understand how to teach effectively. Tutors are vetted for their knowledge and teaching ability, and many have backgrounds in education or professional experience in their fields. We match students with tutors whose teaching style and expertise align with their learning needs.
Many students begin to see improvements within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. Some students notice better understanding and confidence quickly, while larger improvements in grades or standardized test scores often develop over several months of regular, focused work with a tutor.
