Jeffrey
BA University of Notre Dame • Doctor of Philosophy, Mechanical Engineering Rice University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Evelyn
Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine University of Missouri-Kansas City
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a medical student currently attending the 6 year BA/MD program at UMKC. My interest in both the sciences and the humanities has led me to pursue a career in medicine. My favorite subjects to learn and teach include English reading and writing, Mandarin, math, and biology. I am especially passionate about teaching English reading and writing because as someone who personally went through the process of learning English from scratch, I deeply understand the challenges involved in honing one's language skills. I hope to use the lessons I have learned from my experience to help others who are working on improving their reading and writing skills, no matter how far they are along the process. I am patient, persistent, supportive, receptive to feedback, and I always strive to adapt my tutoring style to work with each student's unique needs and expectations.

BA Princeton University
15+ Years Tutoring

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.

Chad
BA Dartmouth College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am Chad Bergman, a current Dartmouth student pursuing my Bachelor's in Economics with a physics minor. I have experience tutoring college economics in person on Dartmouth campus as well as online tutoring in high school calculus and physics. I've had great success on the SAT and ACT as well as my AP tests in high school, and I hope to help others succeed as well. My favorite subject to tutor is physics because I feel like learning to apply a few fundamental principles to different real world situations is extremely useful in any discipline. While tutoring I try to help students master the fundamentals so they can apply them to the material we're working on as well as future material. Outside academia, I help look after my four siblings and play more League of Legends online than is perhaps healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Kansas City's five school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends school in USD 500, USD 501, or any of the other districts serving the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Kansas City students frequently seek help with math, English language arts, and standardized test preparation—subjects that form the foundation for success across all grade levels. We also work with many students preparing for AP exams, ACT prep, and subject-specific challenges that emerge in middle and high school. Tutors can address gaps in any subject while keeping Kansas state standards in mind.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands, identify any knowledge gaps, and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs and your family's timeline. This foundation helps ensure every session that follows is focused and productive.

Kansas City's average student-teacher ratio is about 13.8:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students with varying needs simultaneously. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student—adapting pace, teaching methods, and content to match exactly how they learn best. This individualized attention helps close gaps faster and builds confidence in ways large classroom settings can't.

Absolutely. Tutors working with students in Kansas City are familiar with Kansas state standards and can help students meet grade-level expectations in math, reading, writing, and other core subjects. Whether your student needs support keeping up with current coursework or preparing for state assessments, tutors align their instruction with what Kansas schools expect.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing options designed to work with different family situations.
