I am a student at the University of Pennsylvania. My experience tutoring is widely varied: I was a teaching assistant at an elementary school for three years and a peer tutor for the SAT, ACT, math, and college admission essays also for three years. My main objective when working with students is to make sure students understand content and seeing its importance to the real world. I help guide students find their love of learning through interactive teaching and engaging resources.

Aidan
BA University of Notre Dame
6+ Years Tutoring

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Science-Computing--the University's equivalent of the pre-med major, but with additional credits reserved for a few Computer Science electives. While there, tutoring was one of the main activities I was involved in, and I found it deeply fulfilling when I'd see a certain idea suddenly click for my tutees.

Ben
BA Ball State University • Current Grad Student, Creative Writing Northwestern University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a high school history teacher who has also worked as a teaching assistant at one of the country's top 10 colleges. I've taught ACT/SAT prep for about 4 years to students at all ends of the academic spectrum: from those working with learning disabilities/accommodations & struggling with timing to those trying to achieve perfect scores. Although I always create individualized plans, I focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals.

I am currently a student at Dartmouth College studying Biology, with a concentration on Human Biology. I tutor many subjects, but specialize in standardized test prep and in science, particularly Biology at all levels. I am most passionate about science, it is my favorite subject because it always has a definite answer but it might not be what you expect. At Dartmouth, I am a member of the marching band, Emergency Medical Services, and the sustainability program.

Christie
MS Butler University • BA Manchester College
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a certified ESL teacher as well as teaching History at the local community college. Being an ESL teacher gives me the opportunity to bridge language and cultures, which is something I am passionate about. History is the perfect subject to encourage students to think critically and independently. History, whether it is personal/family or state or national or world, provides an identity and moral understanding. I find it exciting when students move beyond parroting what I say or what the readings say to draw their conclusions and back up their statements with facts. By examining the past, students learn so much more about the present, as well as develop the abilities to use logic, problem-solve, assess evidence and conflicting interpretations, and understand past examples of change. These abilities transition into working life skills as well as develop responsible public behavior no matter if they are a national or community leader, an informed voter, or an observer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Columbus's 23 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Columbus Community School Corporation or nearby districts, we match them with tutors who understand Indiana's academic standards and can provide personalized support tailored to their specific needs.

Columbus schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 16.5:1, which means classroom teachers often can't provide individualized attention to every student. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction with Varsity Tutors allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Indiana's academic standards and curriculum expectations across core subjects like math, English, science, and social studies. Tutors work with your student to build mastery of grade-level concepts and prepare them for state assessments and standardized tests.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current academic level, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student is struggling and develop a personalized plan to address those areas—whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a particular subject.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across a wide range of subjects, including math (from elementary through calculus), English and reading, science, social studies, foreign languages, test preparation (SAT, ACT, AP exams), and more. Whatever subject your Columbus student needs support in, we can help match them with a qualified tutor.

Tutoring costs vary based on factors like the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families in Columbus to find flexible options that fit their budget. Contact us for a personalized quote and to discuss what investment makes sense for your student's specific needs.

Absolutely. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is especially effective for students who are struggling, as tutors can slow down, reteach concepts in different ways, and build foundational skills at your student's pace. Whether your Columbus student is behind in reading, math, or another subject, a tutor can create a customized plan to help them catch up and regain confidence.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in test preparation for SAT, ACT, AP exams, and Indiana state assessments.
