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!

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.

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.

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Quinn

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

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.

Sharon

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

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from all 9 schools in Ruston across both school districts. Whether your student attends a school in the Lincoln Parish or Morehouse Parish systems, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1 in Ruston schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction that classroom settings can't always provide. Tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated attention to work through challenging concepts, ask questions without time pressure, and build confidence in their learning.

Tutors who work with students in Ruston are familiar with Louisiana's academic standards and curriculum frameworks across subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. They can target the specific skills and content benchmarks your student needs to master at their grade level, ensuring they're prepared for state assessments and grade-level expectations.

Students in Ruston seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with strong demand for math (algebra, geometry, pre-calculus), English language arts (writing and reading comprehension), science (biology, chemistry), and test prep for the ACT and SAT. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, foreign languages, and Louisiana-specific requirements like civics and state history.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, identify specific areas where they're struggling, and learn about their learning style and goals. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs, whether they're catching up on fundamentals, preparing for a test, or working ahead in a challenging subject.

The ideal frequency depends on your student's specific challenges and goals. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for consistent support, while others prefer bi-weekly meetings or intensive sessions before major exams or projects. Tutors work with you to create a schedule that fits your family's needs and addresses your student's academic priorities.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level. We recommend contacting Varsity Tutors directly to discuss your student's specific needs and get a personalized quote. Many families find that the investment in personalized instruction pays off through improved grades, test scores, and academic confidence.

Getting started is simple—reach out to Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals. We'll match them with an experienced tutor who fits their learning style and academic requirements. From there, you can schedule sessions at times that work best for your family.
