Dharani
BA University of Kentucky
6+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a rising senior at the University of Kentucky. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in math and neuroscience. I have been tutoring students from elementary to high school for four years in math. I enjoy working with students, of course to provide academic support, but also to build an environment that encourages them to think outside the box and feel comfortable in doing so. I do tutor high school chemistry, but my primary focus is on various levels of math. From my experience, teaching mathematical concepts can be challenging without being able to adapt to the strengths of weaknesses of every individual. I believe it is crucial that students are given an opportunity to learn that adheres to their individual characteristics. Aside from academia, I enjoy staying physically active, volunteering throughout my community, and being a huge sports fanatic.

Jason
BA University of Kentucky
7+ Years Tutoring

I am medical student attending the University of Kentucky. My experience tutoring has both informal and formal components. Informally, I have tutored fellow students in classes that we share. Formally, I teach an organic chemistry recitation at UK. Subjects that I tutor are organic chemistry, mathematics, and biology. I do not have a favorite subject to tutor because I find there to be something very interesting about each subject. My philosophy to teaching is to look at it with the perspective of an enjoyable intellectual conversation. Learning is life-long so let us find the enjoyment in learning. My hobbies outside of academia include listening to music, cooking, and badminton.

I am most passionate about helping students excel in reading and writing. I try to make my tutoring sessions as conversational as possible; I believe that both student and tutor should learn together. What I hope to achieve in my sessions is instilling confidence in my students. When students feel confident in themselves, they will be prepared to succeed both in and outside of the classroom.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Lexington's 108 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Fayette County Public Schools district or another area school, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide targeted help with their specific coursework.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 in Lexington schools, many students benefit from the focused attention that personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides. A tutor can work at your student's pace, address specific learning gaps, and provide the kind of individualized feedback that's harder to give in a classroom setting, helping them build confidence and master challenging material.

Your student's first session is an opportunity for them and their tutor to get to know each other and establish goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding of the subject, identify specific areas where they need support, and create a personalized plan aligned with their school's curriculum and learning objectives. This foundation ensures every session that follows is focused and productive.

Tutors working with Lexington students are familiar with Kentucky's academic standards and how they're taught in local schools. They can help students master grade-level content, prepare for state assessments, and develop the critical thinking skills emphasized in Kentucky's curriculum—whether your student needs support in math, reading, science, or other core subjects.

Lexington students work with tutors across a wide range of subjects, with math and English being among the most common areas where students seek support. However, we also connect students with tutors for science, history, foreign languages, test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams), and specialized subjects—whatever your student needs to succeed in their coursework.

Tutoring costs vary based on factors like the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create a tutoring plan that fits their needs and budget. During your initial consultation, we can discuss your student's goals and help you understand pricing options so you can make the best decision for your family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience helping students succeed. Tutors work across different backgrounds—some are teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators—and are selected based on their ability to connect with students and deliver personalized instruction that works.

Getting started is simple—reach out to Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's needs, goals, and schedule. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can begin personalized instruction right away.
