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

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across all 7 of Lincoln's school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends Lincoln Public Schools, a charter school, or a private institution, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Nebraska academic standards to support their specific needs.

Lincoln students commonly seek support in math, English/language arts, and science—subjects that form the foundation of Nebraska's state standards. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, as well as those needing help with AP coursework or college prep. Tutors can tailor instruction to your student's specific challenges, whether that's algebra, essay writing, or test strategy.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's academic goals, current level, and learning style. The tutor will assess where your student stands, identify areas needing support, and create a personalized plan aligned with their school's curriculum and Nebraska standards. This foundation ensures every session after that is focused and productive.

Lincoln schools maintain a 14:1 student-teacher ratio, which is solid for group instruction, but personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something different—undivided attention tailored to your student's pace and learning style. Research shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates learning compared to classroom settings. A tutor can spend time on exactly what your student needs, skip what they've mastered, and adjust on the fly.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who are familiar with Nebraska's academic standards and how they're taught in Lincoln schools. Whether your student needs to strengthen foundational skills, prepare for state assessments, or master grade-level content, tutors work within the framework of what's expected at each level. This alignment ensures tutoring supports—rather than conflicts with—classroom learning.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We offer flexible scheduling to fit your family's needs, whether that's weekly sessions or more intensive support during key academic periods. Contact us to discuss your student's specific needs and get a personalized quote.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many are certified teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators. All tutors are vetted to ensure they can deliver effective, personalized instruction aligned with how content is taught in Lincoln schools.

The best time is whenever you notice your student could use extra support—whether that's early in the school year to build strong foundations, during challenging units, or as test prep approaches. Many Lincoln families start tutoring when grades dip, confidence drops, or a student feels stuck. Early intervention often prevents small gaps from becoming bigger problems, so don't wait for a crisis to reach out.
