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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from both the Olathe and Blue Valley school districts, as well as private and charter schools across the Olathe area. With 54 schools and nearly 30,000 students in the community, we work with learners across all grade levels and educational settings to provide personalized instruction tailored to each student's needs.

While Olathe schools maintain a 13:1 student-teacher ratio on average, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique learning style, pace, and gaps. This individualized approach means your student gets immediate feedback, customized explanations, and instruction designed specifically for them—rather than instruction designed for a classroom of 20+ students with varying needs.

Tutors work with students to master Kansas standards in core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies. Whether your student needs support catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, personalized instruction helps them build the foundational skills and confidence needed to meet grade-level expectations and perform well on Kansas assessments.

Students in Olathe seek tutoring most often in math (especially algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus), reading comprehension, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. Science, foreign languages, and writing support are also popular, particularly as students progress through middle and high school and coursework becomes more rigorous.

In the first session, the tutor and student get to know each other and identify specific academic goals and challenges. The tutor assesses your student's current understanding, learning style, and areas needing support, then creates a personalized plan to help them succeed. This foundation ensures every future session builds on what works best for your student.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules. We recommend reaching out to discuss your specific situation—we can help you find a tutoring plan that works for your family and your student's goals.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have deep subject knowledge and experience working with students in Kansas schools. Tutors are vetted professionals who understand how to teach effectively and adapt their approach to each student's learning needs. Your student will work with someone qualified to help them succeed in their specific subject and grade level.

Yes, personalized tutoring is designed to work around your family's schedule. Whether your student needs support during the school week, on weekends, or during school breaks, tutors can work with you to find times that fit. This flexibility means your student can get help exactly when they need it without adding stress to an already busy schedule.
