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!

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

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.

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!
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

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.
