Tim
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6+ Years Tutoring

I'm a junior at MIT pursuing a B.S. in Computational Neuroscience, and a B.S. in Philosophy. Starting in high school, I have served in a multitude of teaching/tutoring roles, including: tutoring all levels of high school math (from pre-algebra to AP Calculus BC); teaching a six-week class on psychology to underserved high school students in the Boston area; teaching chemistry, biology, and computer science at a STEM summer camp to 6th-9th graders; working as a TA in a college-level philosophy seminar; and even teaching choreo for a hip-hop dance workshop series! And, though my teaching experience centers largely around STEM subjects, I also have a deep love for history, English, and philosophy, and am excited to work with students in these areas as well. In general, I have an intense passion for learning anything and everything, and my top goal when working with any student is to ignite their own curiosity, and awaken their inner desire to understand themselves and the world.

Zachary
AM Dartmouth College
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a driven, positive, affirming tutor who is happy to help students in any way he can. I graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College in 2020, and I obtained my Master's in Political Science from the University of Toronto in 2022. In 2016, I received an SAT score of 1550. That year, I also received a 5 on my AP exams in Calculus AB, English Language, U.S. History, and U.S. Government. I am happy to tutor students in mathematics, English, and social sciences (e.g., history, government). I especially enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra. I believe in a practice-based approach in which I take students step-by-step through the concepts at hand. After practicing together with my guidance, the student will soon be able to apply what they have learned on their own.

I'm naturally smart. I'm not that guy that can just look at a problem on the board and just figure it out in seconds. I hate asking that guy for help because he doesn't know how to explain somethinghe just gets it right away. He's never sat down and broken it down. I never was that guy and I will never be that guy.

Dylan
BA Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman Computer Science major enrolled in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University. I have a passion for teaching students, and I am experienced with having to give one-on-one guidance in teaching many concepts. Tutoring is very rewarding for me because I am driven to help others and give whatever knowledge I have gained over the years in every field. I also have experience dealing with situations in which students are not quickly or readily grasping concepts, and I have developed the patience to handle these situations. Teaching is just as rewarding for the student as it is for me, because I am thrilled when I see others achieve, and I would love to be part of the process. In addition to high school AP courses and test prep, I have taken college level multivariable calculus, linear algebra, physics electricity/magnetism and mechanics, computer programming (c++, matlab, LISP/Scheme), Dynamics of Systems, and Mechanics of Systems.

Shawn
MS University of California Los Angeles
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a patient teacher who can explain problems in many different ways according to how individual students learn best. I only ask that you know and explain to me what topics you do not know or get so far. I know that every student can learn a subject with a combination of practice and patience, but I insist upon consistent effort and sessions. As an educator I do not support last minute cramming as the primary learning method of content for students as it does not lead to retention of material, mastery of larger themes, or the ability to differentiate between subtle differences when problem-solving on tests and exams. I will help my clients when they need extra sessions before Final Exams and AP Exams, but those who have been working the hardest throughout the school year to regularly improve will get preference over those students who are panicked at the last minute, but have put off meeting with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Reno's 102 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Washoe County School District or another district in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and Nevada's educational requirements.

Reno's average student-teacher ratio of 18.9:1 means many students benefit from additional one-on-one support outside the classroom. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique learning style, fill specific knowledge gaps, and work at a pace that matches their needs—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.

Absolutely. Tutors in Reno are familiar with Nevada's academic standards and the curriculum taught across local schools. This means they can provide targeted support whether your student needs help with Nevada-specific standards, state assessments, or preparation for high school and college entrance exams.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning goals, and any specific challenges they're facing. The tutor will ask questions about their strengths, areas needing improvement, and what success looks like for you. This foundation helps create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs.

Varsity Tutors connects Reno students with tutors across a wide range of subjects, including math, science, English, history, foreign languages, test prep (SAT, ACT, AP), and more. Whether your student needs help with core classes or specialized test preparation, we can find a tutor with expertise in that area.

Pricing varies based on the tutor's expertise, your student's needs, and how frequently you'd like sessions. We work with families across Reno to find tutoring arrangements that fit their budgets—whether that's weekly sessions, intensive preparation for an upcoming test, or ongoing support throughout the school year. Contact us to discuss options that work for your family.

We take time to understand your student's academic goals, learning style, and personality to connect them with a tutor who's a great fit. We consider factors like subject expertise, teaching approach, and availability to ensure your student gets personalized instruction from someone who can help them succeed.
