I am incredibly excited to dedicate myself to helping students amidst one of the greatest public health crises of our time. I have worked with students at both ends of the academic spectrum on not only traditional classroom subjects but also in a 'future preparation and planning' context. I am passionate about finding the best way for a student to learn and often times that encourages me to get outside of my comfort zone and re-imagine the problems in a way my student can best understand them. I am patient, outgoing, a fast learner and am excited to be a resource for you and/or your student!

Erika
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm Erika, and I live in Blair, Nebraska. Tutoring students in math is a passion of mine. I believe a tutor must have the success of each unique student as her top priority. I am especially interested in helping my students who struggle a lot with math - to help them gain the confidence and ability to use their mathematical knowledge in their own personal situations outside the classroom. All students learn math in different ways, and I work really hard to read my students - to know what is or is not working and why. I try to be lighthearted and energetic in my teaching, and I try to build a relationship with each of my students so each of them knows I am interested in them as individuals, not just as math students.

Whether your student attends a Norfolk Public Schools location or another school in the area, we match them with tutors who understand Nebraska's academic standards and can support their specific coursework and learning goals.

While Norfolk's average student-teacher ratio is reasonable, personalized 1-on-1 instruction offers something classroom settings can't—focused attention on your student's unique learning style, pace, and gaps. A tutor can spend an entire session on exactly what your student needs, whether that's reinforcing foundational skills, preparing for state assessments, or working ahead on challenging material.

Tutors working with Norfolk students are familiar with Nebraska's academic standards and assessments, including state testing requirements. They can target instruction toward specific standards your student is working on in class, whether that's math proficiency, reading comprehension, science concepts, or writing skills aligned with Nebraska's expectations.

Norfolk students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects—math and reading are consistently popular, especially for elementary and middle school students building foundational skills. High school students often need support in algebra, geometry, chemistry, and English composition, while some families also connect with tutors for test prep, study skills, and subject-specific help aligned with their coursework.

The first session is about getting to know your student and understanding their needs. The tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss specific challenges or goals, and begin building rapport. This helps the tutor create a personalized plan for future sessions that targets exactly what your student needs to succeed.

The right frequency depends on your student's needs, goals, and schedule. Some families find one session per week effective for ongoing support, while others prefer twice-weekly sessions for intensive help with a specific challenge or upcoming test. Tutors can recommend a schedule based on what will help your student make the most progress.

Yes, Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring arrangements that fit their needs and budget. Rates vary based on the tutor's expertise, subject area, and your student's grade level. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you'll discuss pricing and options that work for your family.
