Sharon
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

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!
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!

I am a published author who has enjoyed “coaching” our daughter, as she navigated through high school, college and graduate school. I mentor college juniors who are seeking careers in financial services, and I serve as a peer resource to professionals who are transitioning from private industry to the nonprofit sector.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students across Iowa City's 21 schools and serves the broader Iowa City Community School District. Whether your student attends an elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and can support their specific academic needs.
With over 8,500 students in Iowa City schools, we see consistent demand for math and science tutoring, particularly as students progress through algebra, geometry, and biology. English language arts support is also popular, especially for students preparing for standardized tests or tackling more rigorous writing assignments. Tutors in Iowa City also help students with test prep for the ACT (the most common college entrance exam for Iowa students) and support for AP and honors-level coursework.
Yes. Tutors who work with students in Iowa City are familiar with Iowa's Core Standards and the expectations set by the Iowa City Community School District. This means they can target instruction to help students master grade-level skills, prepare for Iowa Assessments, and build the foundations needed for success in more advanced courses.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges. They'll ask about recent assignments, test results, or areas where your student feels stuck, then create a personalized plan to address those needs. This foundation helps ensure that every subsequent session builds directly toward your student's goals.
Iowa City schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, which is solid, but even in smaller classes, teachers must balance the needs of many students. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps—something research shows significantly accelerates learning compared to group settings. This individualized attention is especially valuable when a student needs to catch up, move ahead, or develop confidence in a challenging subject.
Absolutely. The ACT is the primary college entrance exam for Iowa students, and many Iowa City tutors specialize in ACT prep. They work with students on test-taking strategies, content review in math and English, and practice testing with feedback—all tailored to help students improve their composite score and feel confident on test day.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and you can discuss pricing directly when you connect with a tutor. Many families find that even a few hours of targeted tutoring per week makes a meaningful difference in grades and confidence.
Simply tell us about your student's grade level, subject needs, and learning goals. We'll match them with an experienced tutor in Iowa City who's a good fit. You can then discuss scheduling, pricing, and your student's specific challenges before the first session begins.
