I carry different techniques to make sure the students are actively engaged. Through online tutoring I will make sure that students are getting enough information. I will try my level best to give a campus based experience through online to the students. I have had a vast experience of teaching many undergraduate courses. My students vary from non-science majors to chemistry majors. The broad range of my teaching experience has improved the veracity of my lectures. I have learned the art of engaging students in the class while exposing them to the field of chemistry. The academia stands to contribute to the growth of the society through teaching.

Daniel
BA Tulane University of Louisiana
10+ Years Tutoring

I am working towards my Finance degree in the Freeman School of Business. I have tutoring experience, as I tutored students in English and Mathematics during high school. Now, I tutor K-12 Math/English, including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, and Language Arts, as well as Python, Hebrew, and Test Prep. My favorite subjects to tutor include Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Language Arts. In terms of my tutoring philosophy, I feel as though a student has not mastered a topic until he/she can effectively explain it back to me as if I am a student wanting to learn said topic. Throughout my experience tutoring and receiving tutoring, I have found that this is a very powerful way of assessing mastery of a concept.

Wayne
PhD Duke University
2+ Years Tutoring

I received my B.S. in Biology from Rhodes College, my M.S. in Biology from Alabama in Birmingham, and a PhD in Anatomy and Physiology from Duke University. My teaching over the last few years has focused on Histology (MicroAnatomy) and Physiology. Teaching modern histology and physiology requires a strong understanding of cell and molecular biology, and I incorporate these areas into my current teaching. I have also taught Genetics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, and Introductory Biology. During my 25 years at the University of Puget Sound, I continually served on our Health Professions Advising Committee, and was chair of this committee for three years. We advised students in all aspects of their applications for professional schools in diverse areas of health care professions, such as medical and dental school, among other professional health-related graduate programs. As chair of the committee I was solely responsible for writing committee letters for all of our students who applied through our committee. As a science educator, I serve my students, and do my utmost to provide them with a modern education in biology. I sincerely love teaching, which for me includes preparation through literature research, and organization and delivery of the best information. I enjoy all aspects of teaching, but most especially the reward of seeing my students learn, and secondarily, my learning of my field and pedagogy, through my efforts as a teacher.

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 New Orleans's 62 schools and all local school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Orleans Parish system or one of the surrounding districts, we match them with a tutor who understands Louisiana's curriculum standards and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific needs.

Tutors working with students in New Orleans are familiar with Louisiana's academic standards and the specific benchmarks students need to master at each grade level. Whether your student is preparing for state assessments, working through challenging content, or building foundational skills, personalized instruction helps them progress at their own pace and meet grade-level expectations in alignment with Louisiana requirements.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 24.8:1 in New Orleans schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need to master challenging concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated time with an expert tutor who can focus entirely on their learning style, pace, and specific areas of struggle—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

Students in New Orleans seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including math, English language arts, science, and social studies—particularly when preparing for state assessments or moving into more rigorous coursework. We also connect students with tutors for test prep (including SAT and ACT), foreign languages, and subject-specific help in areas where they're struggling or want to excel.

During the first session, the tutor gets to know your student—their learning style, current skill level, goals, and any specific challenges they're facing. This initial meeting helps the tutor create a personalized learning plan and establish a rapport that makes future sessions more productive. You'll also have a chance to discuss expectations and see how the tutoring relationship is working.

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. Regular, focused 1-on-1 instruction helps students build confidence and master content more quickly than they would on their own, but sustained progress comes from ongoing practice and engagement.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience teaching or tutoring. Tutors are vetted for their ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt their teaching to each student's needs. When you connect with a tutor, you can review their background and experience to ensure they're a good fit for your student's goals.

Tutoring for students in New Orleans can be scheduled around your family's calendar—whether that's after school, weekends, or during school breaks. You work directly with your tutor to find times that work best, making it easier to fit personalized instruction into your student's routine without adding stress to an already busy schedule.
