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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Tupelo's 21 schools in both the Tupelo Public School District and Lee County School District. Whether your student attends a school in the city or surrounding areas, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide personalized support aligned with what they're learning in their classroom.

With over 7,000 students across Tupelo's school districts, we see strong demand for math and reading support, particularly in elementary and middle school where foundational skills are critical. Many high school students also seek help with algebra, geometry, and test prep for the ACT—which is widely used for college admissions across Mississippi. We also work with students on Mississippi state standards assessments and subject-specific challenges their teachers identify.

While Tupelo's average student-teacher ratio of 12:1 is solid, classroom instruction still needs to serve diverse learning levels and paces. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific strengths, gaps, and learning style. This targeted approach is especially valuable when students need to catch up, prepare for standardized tests, or move ahead in a subject.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Mississippi's academic standards and assessment requirements. Whether your student is working toward proficiency on state assessments, preparing for end-of-course exams, or building skills in core subjects like English language arts and mathematics, tutors can align instruction with what Tupelo schools expect and what state benchmarks require.

In the first session, the tutor will get to know your student—their current level, learning goals, and what subjects or topics are most challenging. They'll ask about what's happening in their Tupelo classroom, review any recent tests or assignments, and establish a personalized plan for how tutoring can best support their success. This foundation helps tutors deliver focused, relevant help from day one.

Varsity Tutors carefully matches students with tutors based on their subject needs, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for the ACT, or building confidence in a difficult subject. We consider factors like the student's school, grade level, and any particular challenges they're facing, so the tutor understands Tupelo's educational context and can provide truly personalized instruction.

Yes. Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling to fit your student's school day, extracurricular activities, and family commitments. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during the week, we work with families to find times that work best. This flexibility makes it easier for Tupelo students to get consistent support without adding stress to their schedule.

Tutors regularly communicate progress with families through updates on what your student is learning, skills they're building, and areas where you're seeing improvement. Many families notice changes quickly—better grades, increased confidence, or improved test scores. The personalized nature of tutoring means progress is visible and measurable, so you can see exactly how your student is advancing.
