Evan

Calculus Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Art Studio. I am currently working toward my Masters of Arts in Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am deeply passionate about helping students unleash their full potential. Witnessing the "aha" moments when they grasp a challenging concept is very rewarding. I tutor a range of subjects from computer science principles and programming languages (C, C++, Java, etc.) to game development in Unity and 3D art in various software. Hobbies: writing, books, music, art, reading

Benjamin

College Algebra Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am most passionate about teaching anything within the Arts (e.g. Literature), French language and culture, and the purer side of Mathematics, where the abstractions of numbers give us the freedom to do with them what we will. I also love helping students work their way through the daunting task of preparing for standardized tests. I have often found that my past students have gotten tangled in the problems that have been set out for them, and I have always found success in teaching the conceptual framework behind these problems, so that they learn to find solutions by whatever means they prefer. As indicated by my degrees at the beginning, I am incredibly passionate about film and film studies I am a huge movie buff. But perhaps the most important thing I can say about myself is that I don't believe that any subject is out of reach for any student. It's just about finding a way through the jargon to something that makes sense.

Dharani

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

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.

Janki

Trigonometry Tutor • +36 Subjects

I am pursuing a B.S. degree in Neuroscience at the University of Kentucky that I will successfully complete in the Fall of 2020. I have tutored a wide range of students, both my peers and younger, in mostly STEM related fields. Although I tutor in a few different subjects, the subjects I am most passionate about are College level Biology, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. Learning about a difficult topic may seem challenging at times, but I believe that everyone has the ability and motivation to successfully tackle difficult concepts with some help!

I am a graduate of UofL with a BS degree in Biochemistry and minor in Biology, heading to medical school at UVA this fall. I have spent 5 semesters as a teaching assistant for the Chemistry Department, spending three semesters teaching general chemistry and two semesters teaching organic chemistry. I have also spent a year as a small-group tutor, helping individual students through tough chemistry topics. While I have a strong background in biology, I am most passionate about tutoring chemistry I love its order, set in rules and mathematics. Outside of academics, I spend my time outdoors, bouldering, or playing couch co-op video games.

Faith

Calculus Tutor • +25 Subjects

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Owensboro with personalized tutoring support. With 39 schools and two school districts serving over 15,000 students in the area, we work with learners from both Owensboro Public Schools and Daviess County Public Schools, helping them succeed regardless of which district they attend.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your learning goals, current challenges, and academic strengths. They'll assess where you are in your coursework, discuss what you'd like to improve, and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs—whether that's preparing for state assessments, improving grades in a specific subject, or building foundational skills.

Tutors work with students on the specific skills and content outlined in Kentucky's academic standards for their grade level and subject. Whether your student is working toward proficiency in math, reading, science, or social studies, personalized instruction helps them master the concepts tested on state assessments and build confidence in their learning.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across a wide range of subjects including math, English, science, social studies, foreign languages, test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams), and more. Whether your student needs help with elementary fundamentals or advanced high school coursework, we can match them with an expert tutor in their area of need.

While Owensboro's schools maintain a solid 13.9:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized 1-on-1 instruction offers something classroom settings can't—complete focus on your child's individual learning style, pace, and gaps. Research shows that one-on-one tutoring can significantly accelerate learning by allowing tutors to target exactly what a student needs, without the constraints of teaching to a whole class.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have deep knowledge in their subject areas. Tutors are carefully selected based on their expertise, teaching ability, and track record of helping students succeed. Many have teaching experience, advanced degrees, or specialized certifications in their fields.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your specific needs. We work with families to find options that fit their budget. Contact us to discuss your situation, and we'll connect you with a tutor and provide transparent pricing before you begin.

Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your family's calendar—whether that's after school, evenings, weekends, or other times that work best for you. We understand that Owensboro families have busy schedules, so we work with you to find a consistent tutoring routine that fits your student's needs and your family's lifestyle.
