Isabella

Middle School Math Tutor • +7 Subjects

I am a graduate of Vandebilt Catholic High School working toward my major at LSU in vocal music with a minor in digital advertising. I have been working with younger students since fourth grade. I started with in-school babysitting. Eventually, I got babysitting jobs over the summer which quickly turned into tutoring. I love helping others, and I am especially passionate about helping young people work toward their dreams! Although I am qualified to tutor many subjects, my favorites are math, English, and anything involving music. English has always been easy for me. I enjoy math because so many students can greatly improve from just a little bit of math help. Typically, students who struggle need to review the basics to understand the more complex ideas. Of course, music is my favorite above all because it is my greatest passion. I have been studying music since the second grade, and I am excited to share what I have learned with others who are passionate about it! I believe that every kid has potential. We just need to meet them where they are and figure out their learning style. With support and a little extra help, students can go far!

Neha

Expert Tutor

Hello! My name is Neha Mothilal, and I am a rising second-year Honors student at the University of Florida majoring in Health Science on the pre-medicine track. I have a strong passion for education, communication, and the medical sciences, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. Through competitive academic programs, tutoring, and leadership experiences, I have learned how to explain complex concepts in ways that are engaging and easy to understand. Throughout my childhood, I competed in various spelling bees, including the Scripps National Spelling Bee, where I developed a deep appreciation for language, word origins, and effective communication. Later, I discovered HOSA's Medical Spelling competition, which perfectly combined my love for orthography with my growing passion for science and healthcare. I spent countless hours studying Taber's Medical Dictionary and organizing medical terminology into detailed study systems, further strengthening both my academic discipline and interest in medicine. My tutoring experience began with helping younger students prepare for spelling competitions before expanding into tutoring English and Math through Kumon. Working with students of different ages and learning styles helped me discover my passion for teaching and mentorship. I especially enjoy helping students build confidence and develop a stronger understanding of challenging material. As a tutor, my goal is to create a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. I believe every student learns differently, and I always strive to adapt my teaching style to each student's individual needs while ensuring they fully understand concepts before moving forward.

Upon graduation from New York University (Philosophy), I taught the verbal section of the MCAT to prospective medical students in my home state of Virginia, after which I moved to New Orleans to teach Middle School Math and Science in low-income communities as an AmeriCorps member. I now tutor a broad range of subjects, specializing in standardized admissions tests through graduate levels. I am a firm proponent of education and its role in a fulfilling life. I try to impart this perspective to all of my students. Let's get to work!

Renee

Expert Tutor

Hello! I recently graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts from Sarah Lawrence College. I have a passion for reading, writing, and film and I am currently taking an online graduate course in TV writing with UCLA. The subjects I tutor in include essay editing, writing, and reading comprehension (i.e. anything pertaining to writing and english.) My tutoring style is collaboration based and tailored to each student's individual learning style. I have first hand experience with how frustrating it can be to get lost in a classroom and feel like you're falling behind, because you don't learn or retain information the same way as your peers, so I find it's the most beneficial to understand each student's relationship with the subject material and developing a plan from there, opposed to instilling a generalized "one size fits all" agenda.

Expert Tutor

I am so glad you have taken the first, and ever-so important steps to building knowledge, and hopefully that is here with me. I can understand some of the challenges you are facing regarding the rigor of academics, however it is always possible to break things down into a more simplified version that we all can grasp. I believe that everyone, when given a formidable amount of education and resources, can learn even the most difficult subjects. I hope to help you succeed in school and in life!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Lafayette's 38 schools and 5 school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Lafayette Parish School System, Acadian Charter Schools, or another local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic needs.

Tutors work directly with your student's coursework and Louisiana's academic standards, whether that's mastering grade-level math concepts, building reading comprehension skills, or preparing for state assessments. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target exactly where your student is struggling and build confidence in the specific areas your school emphasizes.

While Lafayette's average student-teacher ratio of 19.2:1 is reasonable, it still means individual students can get lost in the shuffle, especially in subjects like math or writing where personalized feedback matters most. One-on-one tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated attention to work through challenging concepts at their own pace, something that's difficult to achieve in a classroom setting.

The tutor will start by understanding your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades in a particular class, preparing for a state test, or building foundational skills. They'll assess what's working and what isn't, then create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and Lafayette's local curriculum.

Math and English are the most common subjects, especially as students progress through middle and high school where concepts become more abstract. Science, Louisiana History, test prep (for ACT and state assessments), and foreign languages are also popular. Whatever subject your student needs support in, Varsity Tutors can connect you with an expert tutor.

Tutors are experienced educators and subject matter experts who understand how to teach effectively one-on-one. They're familiar with Louisiana's curriculum standards and know how to explain concepts in ways that click for different learners. All tutors go through a vetting process to ensure they can deliver quality instruction for students in Lafayette.

Tutoring schedules work around your family's life—whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during summer break. You can adjust frequency and timing based on what works best, whether that's weekly sessions or intensive help before a big test or assignment deadline.

Contact Varsity Tutors and let us know your student's grade level, subject, and what they need help with. We'll match them with a tutor who fits their learning style and academic goals, and you can start personalized instruction right away. Most families see their student more engaged and confident within the first few sessions.
