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!

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.

Quinn

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Davenport's 31 schools and both school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Davenport Community School District or nearby areas, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific needs.

Tutors work with students to master Iowa Core standards across subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. With Davenport's average student-teacher ratio of 14:1 in classrooms, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides the focused attention students need to close gaps, build confidence, and excel on state assessments and in their coursework.

Davenport students frequently seek help with algebra and geometry, reading comprehension, standardized test preparation (including ACT and SAT), and writing skills. We also work with students on foundational math, elementary reading, science, and study skills—helping them build the strong academic foundation needed to succeed in Iowa's rigorous curriculum.

During the first session, a tutor will assess your student's current strengths, challenges, and learning style to create a personalized plan. They'll discuss specific academic goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for the ACT, or mastering a difficult concept—and establish how tutoring will support success both in and out of the classroom.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in ACT preparation, helping Davenport students build test-taking strategies, review content, and practice under realistic conditions. Whether your student is aiming for a competitive score or looking to improve their composite, personalized test prep can make a meaningful difference in results.

Many students see improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when addressing a specific subject or skill gap. The key is starting early and maintaining regular sessions—even one session per week can help your student catch up, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to succeed in their classroom.

Yes, Varsity Tutors works with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit their schedule and budget. Whether you need help with one subject, ongoing support throughout the school year, or intensive preparation for a specific goal, we can customize a plan that works for your family's needs and timeline.

Getting started is simple—tell us about your student's academic goals and needs, and we'll match them with an expert tutor who's a great fit. Most students can begin personalized 1-on-1 instruction within days, so your student can start making progress toward their goals right away.
