Chris

Organic Chemistry Tutor • +5 Subjects

During high school I found that I really enjoyed chemistry. This pushed me to pursue and obtain multiple degrees in chemistry. I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degree from the University of Idaho. While I was an undergraduate I was lucky enough to conduct research on the synthesis of new organic molecules for use in pharmaceutical research. During my Master's degree I conducted research for two years on main group and early transition metal polymerization catalysts. The title of my Master's thesis is "Synthesis and Reactivity of Bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)aluminum Complexes". I then moved to the midwest and spent time in Iowa City and Chicago during my Ph.D. studies. I was awarded a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago and the title of my dissertation is "Understanding Structure/Reactivity Trends in Palladium(II) Polymerization Catalysts containing Heterocyclic Donor Ligands". The time I spent doing my doctoral research allowed me to pursue the love I have for the synthesis of organic molecules and also explore the reactivity of transition metal complexes that incorporate these molecules. I gained a desire to understand how chemistry works on a fundamental, mechanistic level. It is this focus on the details that allows me to look at chemical reactions and help others to understand how they work. I have been a tutor, teaching assistant for both lectures and laboratories, and a professor during my career as a chemist. I tutored students in general chemistry and organic chemistry as an undergraduate. As both a graduate student and professor I taught both organic chemistry lectures and labs and helped students in one-on-one meetings as well as review sessions. I am a tutor for middle school and high school science. I am able to tutor multiple areas of chemistry including high school and college chemistry and organic chemistry. My favorite subject is chemistry with a particular love for organic chemistry. I feel like I was born to put molecules together, especially carbon-carbon bonds, and I think of chemistry as really just molecular Legos that I am fortunate enough to spent my days working with. I love synthesizing new molecules but I am challenged intellectually on a daily basis to find and understand the applications for the chemistry I develop in the areas of industrial green chemistry and clinical chemistry. I believe the work I do has made me a patient person who has learned to explain the chemistry I pursue to a broad audience. This has shaped my teaching philosophy as I have grown more mature in my understanding of the chemical sciences. I am patient and search for multiple explanations of the subject material. I am aware that I am an expert in chemistry but if the person I am helping has not gained a better understanding of chemistry after working with me then I have not been successful. I am hands on with regards to leading by example and showing someone how I would solve a problem. I may not be able to impart the same love I have for chemistry in a particular student but if they see how much I enjoy the material I hope I will inspire them to continue to try and master the subject themselves. I am a big believer in having interests and hobbies outside of my work in chemistry. When I was growing up, I lived in many different places in the United States so I love traveling within the US as well as the world. My travels often inspire new thoughts and solutions for problems I might be encountering at work. By getting away for an issue I find that an answer can appear in my thoughts when I am distracted and not focused on the roadblocks that often appear in my work. I am often accused of "thinking about molecules" when I am supposed to be relaxing if I look distracted. Some of my best ideas have come to me when wondering around a plaza in Mexico or Spain. At home, I enjoy watching Manchester United, riding my bike, running, listening to my very eclectic music collection and gardening when the weather cooperates. I believe I am a very inquisitive person and so I am open to learning new things and going to new places for experiences that I have not had before.

Kaylee

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a junior communication sciences and disorders major at Brescia University in Owensboro Kentucky. My current G.P.A. is a 3.78. I am involved on campus and I am a student leader of multiple organizations. I am also member of the Alpha Chi Honors Society at my University. Some of my tutoring experience includes tutoring elementary and middle school students. I also have volunteered to help tutor at the local refugee center. Something that I feel will help me with tutoring is that growing up with a learning disability I had to learn to adapt my studying techniques to best fit me as well as learned persistence. I know how frustrating it can me to struggle in something and I want to be that to guide you to do your best. I like to adjust my tutoring techniques to specifically around my clients to help them improve. I hope you consider me to be your tutor because I would love to help you the ways many others have helped me in the past.

Grace

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a current junior at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. Upon my graduation in 2022, I will be dual majoring in Environmental Studies and Asian Studies with a focus in Chinese. I received the Chinese language scholarship, as well. I have tutored students in Chinese ranging from middle school level through college level. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Chinese, English, and essay editing. My tutoring style is kind and patient, and I do my best to make every lesson engaging and entertaining. I am passionate about helping students, specifically when they are learning a language, because I want students to have the confidence to use a language that could be vastly different from the one's their friends and parents may have studied. This confidence will carry them forward in not only studying said language, but other areas of study, as well. In my spare time, I love to read YA and fantasy books, create wire sculptures, play tennis, and watch movies with my family. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, movies, books

Sowmya

Middle School Math Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am an Honors Scholar graduate of the University of Louisville. I received my Bachelors of Science in Business Administration in Accountancy and had minors in Economics and Psychology. In the fall of 2022, I will be heading to the University of Georgia to pursue a Law degree. I came into the tutoring world 8 years ago by teaching my sister and her friends. I slowly started getting other tutoring opportunities through Mathnasium, Wyzant, and the League Pro KY. Through these platforms, I was able to teach students from grades K-12 in subjects like Math, English, SAT, ACT, Public Speaking, Economics, Psychology, and others. Growing up, I have always had a passion for working with kids and helping them get the opportunity to learn and discover new fields. I started up and coached the Mock Trial team at Meyzeek Middle School to satisfy this motive. As Mock Trial Coach, I was able to introduce the legal field with middle school students, all by improving their public speaking skills, confidence, and legal knowledge. In my experience working with kids, it was really rewarding to see them learn more in their subjects and overcome the challenges they had prior to their tutoring journey. I know how important it is to have the right person guide you through your journey since I have been through the same phase myself. I try my best to do whatever I can to help students reach their goals all by having fun! Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Louisville's 233 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in Jefferson County Public Schools, archdiocese schools, or independent institutions, we match them with tutors who understand Kentucky's academic standards and can support their specific coursework and learning goals.

While Louisville's student-teacher ratio is relatively favorable, even in smaller classes students benefit significantly from personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their individual learning style. A tutor can focus entirely on your student's specific gaps, pace, and strengths—something that's impossible in any classroom setting, no matter the ratio. This personalized attention is especially valuable for students working toward mastery of Kentucky standards or preparing for standardized assessments.

Your student's first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand their current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades in a particular subject, preparing for the SAT or ACT, or building confidence in math or reading. The tutor will ask questions, assess where your student stands, and develop a personalized plan for the sessions ahead. You'll have a clear sense of direction and what to expect moving forward.

Students in Louisville seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly high demand for math (algebra, geometry, and calculus), English and writing, science (biology and chemistry), and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for foreign languages, AP subjects, and support with Kentucky's academic standards. Whatever your student needs, we can match them with an expert tutor in that area.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions, and we work with families to find an approach that fits their budget. Many families start with one or two sessions per week to see how tutoring impacts their student's progress, then adjust from there. There's no long-term contract required—you have the flexibility to scale up, scale down, or pause sessions based on your needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience—many hold degrees in their subject areas, have classroom teaching backgrounds, or bring specialized knowledge like SAT/ACT test prep certification. Each tutor is vetted and matched to your student based on their qualifications and teaching style to ensure the best fit for your student's learning needs.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, your student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. For test prep like SAT or ACT, students often see score improvements within 8-12 weeks with regular sessions. The key is consistency—weekly tutoring combined with practice between sessions yields the strongest results.

Getting started is simple—tell us your student's grade level, the subject they need help with, and your availability, and we'll match them with a qualified tutor. You can schedule an initial session quickly, and after that first meeting, you and the tutor can plan a regular schedule that works for your family. Most families are matched and meeting with a tutor within a few days of signing up.
