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.

Victoria
Admissions Tutor • +40 Subjects
I have wanted to help make a difference in a child's education my entire life. I am currently studying to become an Elementary School Teacher and cannot wait to help you with what you might struggle with. We all have our struggles but with a little help and practice, they can become a strength.I graduated from Georgian Court University in May of 2022 with my Bachelor of Arts in English with a writing minor. I am currently in my final semester of Graduate school at Georgian Court University as an Elementary Education Major and will gain my certification in Special Education in December upon graduation.I have previously worked as a tutor for my University where I helped fellow undergraduates with their English course work and other courses that I felt confident in such as History. I have also spent the past year as a substitute within an Elementary school and even completed a Paternity position for the Music Teacher!I tutor in a variety of subjects. Within the Elementary School level, I tutor in Math, Reading, English, Science, Writing, Social Studies, Kindergarten Readiness, Reading Fundamentals, and Reading Comprehension. At the Middle School level, I tutor in English, Reading, Reading Comprehension, and Writing. At the High School level, I tutor in English, Writing, Reading, and College Application Essays. I also tutor in British Literature, American Literature, Comparative Literature, Creative Writing, English Grammar and Syntax, Intro to Fiction, Intro to Poetry, Poetry, Productivity, Short Stories: Fairytales, World Literature, and Writing. I also specialize in Microsoft Office products such as Word and PowerPoint as well as Google products such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides.My favorite subjects to tutor are anything that relates to literature as there is not one correct answer within literature; as long as you can provide evidence to support your claim, you can prove nearly anything within an English paper. The possibilities are endless.I personally believe that as a tutor (and as a teacher) I am working to make sure that you have all of the tools available to pass any subject needed. I will make sure that you are prepared and ready for the future ahead. There are things in this world that I have not mastered and I am always willing to learn from you as you learn from me. We never stop learning and the sole thing that I am here to do is to make sure that I help you in any sort of way possible to ensure your success.

Heba
ACT Math Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Houston, receiving my Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences and minor in Biology. After graduation, I applied to dental school, and currently I am a third year dental student. During my time in undergrad and dental school, I have tutored on the side helping with middle school, high school and college students with math and science. I tutor a wide variety of subjects in math and science, especially Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Biology and Chemistry. Being a student myself and taking the ACT and DAT, I will be able to help students studying for those Standardized tests especially the portions of those exams that are STEM oriented. I hope to bring a positive outlook to education and learning and to help my students achieve the goals they are aspiring for. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting my plants, spending time outside, exercising, and drawing.
Angi
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +46 Subjects
My teaching and tutoring experience began when I became frustrated by the public school system for my own children. Sometimes they needed extra help, while in other cases they were surpassing the curriculum available in both public and private schools. This experience opened my eyes, and I began homeschooling. In particular, I helped my last child, who is profoundly gifted, until she entered college at 13 years of age. I also have experience working in an inclusionary classroom with special needs children. Additionally, I worked to help college students succeed with goal setting and keeping on track to graduate from college. My most recent educational endeavor is working with an ESL school in Brazil teaching and tutoring all ages.I believe that you are never to old to learn new things. I love exploring and finding innovative ways of doing things.My hobbies include painting, sewing, crafting, gardening and travel. I love animals and have had many, including some most exotic ones while I lived in Brazil. I don't like to watch TV, but I love music! I have a wide variety of musical interests.
Jamie
AP German Language and Culture Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a sophomore at New York University, studying TV and Playwriting. Before that, I attended high school at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North in Princeton, New Jersey.I tutor English and German and most love teaching a new language because it's exciting and fun. My favorite thing about tutoring is helping a student figure out how to do things by himself/herself. It's super rewarding!I am an excellent tutor because I am enthusiastic and generous. I do not punish mistakes, but try to encourage the development of good study habits, rather than just feeding answers. With writing, I believe it is most important to give constructive criticism that a writer can use to develop his or her style further.In my free time, I like to play video games or practice guitar. Or just sleep!

I am a friendly tutor who specializes in writing. I am a graduate in Marine Biology and Environmental Science and Management, B.S. I have always had a passion for education and teaching kids of varying age groups. This started with teaching kids to swim as a lifeguard and swim instructor and has since led to four years as a peer writing consultant at my University.

Lani
African-American History Tutor • +49 Subjects
I'm a recent graduate of Williams College, a small, prestigious liberal arts college in Massachusetts. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and minored in International and Africana Studies. Due to my profound interest in Spanish, I was the recipient of a research fellowship in Guatemala and earned a Certificate from the Language Department, the latter only awarded to students who completed seven courses with a minimum of a B+ cumulative average and received an A on the proficiency exam. From my experience working as a legal intern at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and a History major, I have strong writing and research background. During my time at Williams, I also worked as a student technology consultant and a teaching assistant to a high-school summer program on campus.What makes me unique as a tutor is that I can empathize with the frustrations of learning. I am unashamed to admit that during my academic experience, I openly sought help and tutoring from peers and friends, alike. Therefore, I understand what it is like to seek assistance, solve an issue strategically, succeed and be better off because of being honest with myself. As a tutor, I know my students would flourish from patience, diligence, and fun. We would approach topics in a relaxed and prudent manner.

I graduated from Stonehill College with degrees in mathematics, education, and computer science, as well as a teaching license. Since then, I've been teaching high school mathematics, although I'm passionate about a broad range of other subjects as well. I've never had the opportunity to tutor professionally before joining Varsity Tutors, but I'm excited to help students meet their education goals and spark their curiosity for learning. I love to be creative in everything I do, which shines through in my work, both professionally and in my personal creative endeavors and passion projects.

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.
