Helping students has always felt deeply personal to me. I know what it's like to struggle with a subject and how much of a difference the right guidance can make.

Nico
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
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!

Currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Political Science at Louisiana Tech University, I integrate practical applications into my teaching, ensuring that students not only grasp concepts but also retain them. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and deepen their understanding. My commitment to their success drives me to tailor my instruction to meet individual needs, making learning an enjoyable journey. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring aviation and delving into literature, both of which enhance my tutoring approach and foster meaningful connections with my students.

I find great joy in helping students develop their executive functioning skills and confidence, enabling them to achieve academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources, which keeps my methods fresh and engaging.
Kristina
Expert Tutor
My life's work has been and continues to be assisting students in building confidence while exploring the wonders of language and mathematics. Whether it be Algebra, ACT preparation, or English for non-native speakers, I have enjoyed my 20+ years working with students both in the U.S. and abroad (China & India). I have tutored students as young as Pre-K, but most of my experience lies with high school, university & adult students. For those seeking assistance with the ACT, I have several years of experience tutoring all subjects - content & strategies. With the changes in the ACT last year (science optional, shorter subject tests with differing times), I decided to take the new Enhanced ACT with hundreds of high school students to gain first-hand experience with how the alterations might affect test strategy and gauge any changes in content. My split focus affected the science score most (:D), but I look forward to sharing my newly gained insights with my students.
Alex
Reading Tutor • +13 Subjects
As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Ethnicity & Race Studies from Columbia University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in subjects such as English Language and Writing, U.S. Government & Politics, and college application essays. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas and engage critically with the material. I believe in tailoring my approach to each student's unique learning style, which not only enhances their understanding but also builds their confidence. I am motivated by the opportunity to help students achieve their academic goals and develop a lifelong love for learning. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring new cultures through cooking, and discussing current events, which enriches my perspective and informs my teaching.

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.
Jennifer
Expert Tutor
I am a graduate of Florida State University, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in English Education. Ever the overachiever, I also earned a Master's in English and a Master's in History from Southeastern Louisiana University. My expertise ranges from creative writing to standardized test prep. I currently teach English composition and literature at the college level, and--thanks in part to my theater background--we have a lot of fun.
Wayne
Expert Tutor
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.

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.
