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.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

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 across Southaven's 12 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the DeSoto County district or a private school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and academic expectations they're working with.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1 in Southaven schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to fill gaps and accelerate learning. Tutoring provides the individualized attention that classroom settings can't always offer, allowing students to work at their own pace and get immediate feedback on their specific challenges.
Tutors understand Mississippi's curriculum standards and can help students master the specific content and skills required for success in state assessments. Whether it's building foundational math skills, strengthening reading comprehension, or preparing for state testing, personalized instruction ensures students are meeting grade-level expectations in Southaven's schools.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current challenges, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands academically and develop a personalized plan tailored to their needs—whether that's catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead in their Southaven school curriculum.
You can connect with tutors who specialize in specific subjects or work across multiple areas depending on your student's needs. Many Southaven families find it helpful to focus on one subject where their student needs the most support, though we can match students with tutors in any subject offered in local schools—from core academics to test prep.
Tutoring sessions are scheduled around your student's availability, whether that's after school, weekends, or whenever works best for your family. Since Southaven students juggle school, activities, and homework, we work with you to find a consistent time that fits your schedule without adding stress.
You'll tell us about your student's grade level, the subject they need help with, and any specific goals—like improving grades or preparing for a test. Varsity Tutors then connects you with a qualified tutor who's a good fit for your student's needs and schedule, and you can start personalized instruction right away.
You'll see progress through improved grades, stronger performance on assignments and tests, and increased confidence in the subject area. Many parents in Southaven notice their students becoming more engaged with learning and better prepared for classroom discussions and assessments within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring.
