Kate

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +53 Subjects

I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

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.

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.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started is simple—just tell us about your student's needs, academic goals, and preferred subjects. Varsity Tutors will match your student with a tutor who fits their learning style and schedule. Your first session is a great opportunity to discuss specific challenges, whether that's Louisiana state standards preparation, test readiness, or building confidence in a particular subject.

Tutors work with students on the specific skills and content outlined in Louisiana's academic standards across all grade levels and subjects. Whether your student is working toward grade-level proficiency in math and English language arts or preparing for state assessments, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target gaps and reinforce concepts aligned with what Central schools are teaching.

Varsity Tutors connects students in Central with tutors across a wide range of subjects, including math (from elementary through calculus), English and language arts, science, social studies, foreign languages, and test prep for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams. We also support students with homework help, study skills, and subject-specific challenges they're facing in their Central schools.

Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are experienced educators and subject matter experts who understand Louisiana's curriculum standards and how to teach to different learning styles. Each tutor is vetted for their expertise and ability to work effectively with students in Central, ensuring your student gets quality instruction tailored to their needs.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss what's working and what isn't in their current learning, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring can help. This foundation helps ensure every session after that is productive and targeted.

Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your family's availability—whether that's after school, evenings, weekends, or during school breaks. Varsity Tutors works with Central families to find times that fit your student's schedule and commitments, making it easy to get consistent, personalized instruction without adding stress to your routine.

While tutors can certainly help with homework, tutoring goes deeper—it's about understanding the concepts behind assignments and building skills for long-term success. A tutor in Central will help your student master foundational skills, work through challenging topics, and develop problem-solving strategies they can use independently, rather than just getting through tonight's assignment.

Many students show noticeable improvement within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, your student's starting point, and how often they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings help reinforce learning—most students benefit from weekly tutoring to build momentum and see meaningful progress toward their goals.
