I am reliving the process of learning that concept myself, both by explaining the concept in new ways and by seeing students wrestle with and eventually grasp the concept for themselves. For me, teaching is a way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more.

Kellor
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am entirely committed to ensuring every one of my students break through the barriers preventing them from reaching their full potential. My process involves an individual, connected explanation of the content, discussing problem-solving strategies to make testing much easier than it seems, encouraging practice and the growth of individual learning, and making sure my style of teaching is right for my student's style of learning. Most importantly, I seek to make my students love learning as much as I do.

I am a graduate of Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts degree in English Literature. During my time at Kansas State, I worked as a student tutor on subjects ranging from geology to French, and while pursuing my Master's degree, I taught Expository Writing to college students. While I am experienced with Writing and Language tutoring and enjoy teaching both, I am primarily a standardized test tutor with Varsity Tutors. Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by far my favorite subject to tutor. I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in order to understand the most effective means for that student to progress, and for this reason, I place the utmost importance on the student rather than the subject. When I am not tutoring or substitute teaching, I enjoy playing guitar, watching football and writing fiction.

I am a highly motivated individual committed to giving my all each and every day. I love working with kids. I am enthusiastic about education and learning. I love to empower others and help them to reach their greatest potential. I am patient and driven, and I firmly believe that all students are capable of learning. I value personal interaction and relationships. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing outside, watching movies, playing card games and board games, and spending time with family and friends.

Eamon
Calculus Tutor • +26 Subjects
I'm an oldest child, which means growing up, I was the first kid to run into most challenges, and the best equipped one to teach my five younger siblings how to navigate them. Working with them and mentoring them was probably my first experience with "tutoring", and it left strong impressions on me. To help someone is to treat them like your family.
Jack
Calculus Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a graduate of The University of Tulsa, where I received BA degrees in Anthropology and Sociology. While studying at Tulsa, I tutored students in several subjects including, Sociology, Anthropology, and Statistics, among others. In addition, I occasionally served as a guest lecturer at the University's introductory-level Sociology courses. I offer tutoring in SAT/ACT test prep, English, Anthropology, Sociology, and Social Studies. I enjoy most working with students on writing and revising essays in any subject. When I'm tutoring, I think it is most important to talk through issues with my students and try to ascertain how they're thinking about the problems they're trying to solve. If you're thinking about the fundamentals of a problem in the correct way, any other details will fall into place fairly easily.
Emma
Calculus Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am currently in my second year at the University of Kansas. I am majoring in secondary history and government education and minoring in art history. Most of my tutoring experience comes from high school, where I peer tutored a student in her world history class. As an upperclassman, I also gained a lot of mentoring experience on my school's debate team as I helped new debaters learn the ropes of the activity. As my intended college degree reflects, I am most excited about teaching history, government, and art history classes, but I have a strong background in English as well. As a former AP and honors high school student, I would love to share the strategies that I found to be the most successful. I believe education not only improves society, but can help shape students to their fullest potential. I would love to be someone who facilitates that development. Outside of academics, I am a total bookworm, my favorite TV show is The Good Place, and I try to spend as much time outside as I can without getting a sunburn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Derby's 12 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a Derby USD 260 school or transfers between districts, we match them with tutors who understand Kansas curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
Derby's average student-teacher ratio of 16.1:1 means classroom instruction, while valuable, can't always address individual learning gaps. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's strengths and challenges, adapting instruction in real time and working at their pace—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.
Tutors working with Derby students are familiar with Kansas Department of Education standards and assessments, including Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) expectations and grade-level benchmarks. They tailor instruction to ensure students master the specific skills and content knowledge required for success in Kansas schools.
During the initial session, the tutor assesses your student's current understanding, learning style, and academic goals. They'll identify specific areas where support is needed and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps ensure every subsequent session builds directly on what your student needs most.
Varsity Tutors connects Derby students with tutors across all core subjects—math, science, English, and social studies—as well as test prep for ACT, SAT, and AP exams. Whether your student needs foundational support or advanced preparation, there's a tutor available to help.
Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your student's school day, extracurriculars, and family commitments. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during the week, Varsity Tutors works with you to find a time that fits your family's schedule.
Tutors working with Derby students are vetted for subject expertise and teaching ability. Many have education backgrounds, professional experience in their fields, or proven success helping students master challenging material. Each tutor is matched to your student based on their specific needs and learning style.
Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's academic needs and goals. We'll match them with an experienced tutor and schedule an initial session at a time that works for your family. From there, you'll work together to build a personalized learning plan that drives real progress.
