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.

Danielle

Biochemistry Tutor • +26 Subjects

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Hampton University. I am currently a Research Technician at Emory University. Using my expertise as a Research Technician to explain how chemistry works conceptually and in theory makes me a well rounded tutor in this subject area. My goal as a tutor is to provide expertise, experience and encouragement to each student. Some of the golden strategies that I have incorporated when tutoring are establishing expectations with the learner and discovering the strengths and weaknesses of the learner. I believe these strategies are key to being a successful tutor.

Harvey

ACT Prep Tutor • +53 Subjects

I will attain a BBA in Business Economics this May 2016 from the University of Memphis. Education and community are passions of mine, and I strive to reignite a curiosity for knowledge in my students and peers. Notable positions I have held include a Success Coach for Peer Powera community centered non-profit whose goal is improving childhood education through involvement between local grade schools, universities, and corporationsand interestingly enough, a ballroom dance instructor. My academic strengths are fairly broad, with expertise in mathematics and standardized testing.A couple fun facts about myself: I'm from New Jersey and of Italian decent, so I naturally love cooking and all things pizza. My favorite childhood book is The Giver by Lois Lowry, and favorite high school class was physics (rockets, easy winner). I enjoy playing guitar and ride my bicycle on a sunny day.

Arvid

Basic Computer Literacy Tutor • +16 Subjects

I have always enjoyed learning and sharing what I have learned. I find that for me reading and then putting something into practice is most effective. In 2000 I began pursuit of a Masters in Computer Information along side of my full time work and family responsibilities and completed it in 2007. In 2008 I was fortunate to start teaching online at Indiana Wesleyan University and currently continue this rewarding work. I also teach in volunteer venues. All of this requires continual learning. I am working for income much less than in the past and tutoring is a way for me to continue learning and sharing how to learn and what I have learned. I am a husband, father, and grandfather and greatly enjoy those roles.

Andrew

ACT Prep Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am an Environmental Biology major and Writing minor. Using my two interests, I find it easiest to help students learn complicated topics by being able to explain them simply and in your own words. I find that this way of learning is the best way to gain a full understanding. Difficult problems often have multiple ways of solving them. Figuring out the best way for each student to solve a problem can make anyone successful. In the near future I plan on attending medical school, and I look forward to helping other students be able to succeed in subjects that I feel passionate about.

Bobby

10th Grade Math Tutor • +57 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Since I first tutored about six years ago, it has always been a passion of mine. I enjoy making connections with students and helping them succeed. I believe that any student has the capacity for greatness; sometimes they simply require the right push. As a tutor it is my mission to help every student reach his or her potential. I accomplish that by adapting my tutoring technique to the specific style of the student.Mathematics has always been a subject that has come easily to me. Growing up I received A's in all my math classes, and for me, it just clicked. Thanks to my personal successes in math, tutoring math has also been something that has come easily to me. I have tutored Algebra 1, Calculus 1, and SAT Math. I feel especially confident tutoring SAT Math as I received a perfect score on that section of the exam. Because of my experience, skills, and passion in mathematics, I know that I can reach any student. I welcome any and all opportunities and am excited to meet some amazing students!

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.

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.
