Families across Skokie's six school districts share a common goal: turning strong academic performance into standout college applications. With students pursuing honors and AP coursework in subjects like algebra, geometry, and the sciences — while targeting competitive SAT and ACT scores — the demand for individualized attention that goes beyond classroom instruction is real.

A tutor matched through Varsity Tutors begins by assessing your student's current mastery, learning style, and specific ambitions, then builds a personalized plan aligned with Illinois State Standards and what's happening in class. Matching takes into account subject expertise, grade level, and personality, and switching is easy if the fit isn't right. Flexible scheduling accommodates packed weeks of extracurriculars and school commitments, so students from District 69, District 71, and beyond can maintain consistent sessions focused on deepening mastery and reaching their next milestone.

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.

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!

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

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

They design lessons that align with what students are learning in class while filling specific knowledge gaps. This ensures that tutoring reinforces classroom learning and helps students progress toward grade-level and college-readiness benchmarks.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, identify specific challenges, and learn about their learning style and goals. They'll discuss what your student is working on in class and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps the tutor deliver instruction that's truly tailored to your student's needs.

Yes, tutors help Skokie students prepare for the SAT, ACT, AP exams, and other standardized tests.
