I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to do.

I am a sophomore math major at the University of Kansas. People think I'm crazy to major in math, but I just tell them how much I have always loved the subject. I enjoy spending time with the girls in my sorority, scoping out new coffee shops around town, and volunteering around my community.

Kate
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +53 Subjects
I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
Jessica
College Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.

Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.
Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
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.
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.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Lawrence's 27 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Lawrence USD 497 district or is homeschooled, we match them with tutors who understand Kansas academic standards and can support their specific learning needs.
Your first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's catching up in math, preparing for Kansas state assessments, or getting ahead in a challenging subject. The tutor will ask questions, identify strengths and gaps, and create a personalized plan moving forward. Most students and tutors use this time to build rapport and establish a productive working relationship.
Lawrence has an average student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1, which means classroom instruction is often divided among many students with different needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring gives your student undivided attention, allowing tutors to adjust pacing, explain concepts multiple ways, and focus on exactly what your student needs to master. Research consistently shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates learning compared to group settings.
Lawrence students frequently seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and science. We also support students preparing for Kansas state assessments, ACT prep, and AP courses. Whether your student needs foundational skill-building or advanced academic support, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a tutor experienced in that subject area.
Tutors working with Lawrence students are familiar with Kansas Content Standards and state assessment expectations. They can target specific skills your student needs to demonstrate proficiency in reading, math, science, and other subjects tested at the state level. This targeted approach helps students build confidence and competency in areas where they're struggling.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with Lawrence families to find a tutoring plan that fits their budget and schedule—whether that's weekly sessions, intensive support before a major test, or ongoing academic help. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get personalized pricing information.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring. Many hold degrees in their subject area, have classroom teaching experience, or bring specialized expertise (like ACT prep or AP subject mastery). Each tutor is carefully matched to your student's needs to ensure a productive learning partnership.
You'll see progress through improved grades, stronger performance on quizzes and tests, and increased confidence in the subject. Most tutors provide regular feedback and can share specific examples of skills your student has mastered. If you're not seeing the progress you hoped for, we can adjust the tutoring approach or connect you with a different tutor who might be a better fit.
