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 ne...

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am currently teaching math at Chaparral high school. The subjects I taught for the past three years include Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and College preparatory math. Overall I have been working in academic areas for the last 10 years studying, teaching and tutoring. I know how to help students in their specific subject related problems as well as improving study skills. I have studied chemical engineering both in my undergraduate and graduate programs, and because math is the foundation of engineering and used in problem solving, I am also confident in my abilities to help in that subject. I am open minded and easy to talk.

Michael

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am currently a student of the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). I am working toward a Bachelor of Sciences in Biological Sciences degree with a concentration in Cell and Molecular Biology. Since my high school years, I have worked tirelessly through the community, tutoring my peers in my school's magnet program and children with learning disabilities for a nonprofit organization dealing with autism research. Though I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most interested in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. In all my years as a tutor, I have always tried to stress the importance of education in changing one's life to my students, being a firm believer in the power of knowledge and education's role in bringing out the best of people. In my leisure time, I enjoy running, tennis, pleasure reading to enrich my mind, and playing the ever soothing melodies of the piano.

Michelle

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from Tufts University with a major in International Relations and a minor in Economics. I have been helping students since I was in middle school working with students of all ages from kindergarten to college. Prior to spending four years at Tufts, I attended a boarding school in Massachusetts where I was committed to tutoring middle school students at a local Boys and Girls' Club for all four years. I always enjoyed seeing the energy of younger students who were eager to learn and their visible improvements. I also worked as a teaching assistant for an SAT prep center where I tutored SAT verbal and writing along with SAT II literature and math. I moved to Las Vegas a few months ago after finishing up college, and I would love to get back to working with students on a regular basis because I understand the importance of education and enjoy helping and seeing results. My favorite subject to teach is SAT because with the right help it is a standardized test that can see huge improvements in scores. Writing section is especially my forte because I think that grammar is the basic building block of the English language that deserves a little more attention in school. I feel a great sense of fulfillment when students start to understand the different structures of English sentences and appreciate such knowledge. In my spare time, I like to stay active and go to yoga classes, including antigravity yoga, and drive to national parks for fresh air. I am also a big foodie who enjoys regular trips to different restaurants with friends and an avid movie fan. I look forward to meeting with students here in Las Vegas!

Deepal

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +24 Subjects

I'm a sophomore at USC studying Biomedical Engineering. In high school, I maintained a 4.0 GPA while participating in organizations like Mu Alpha Theta so that I could tutor struggling math students in subjects ranging from Algebra to Calculus III. Seeing how comfortable I was in the environment really made an impact on me, and I want to continue that experience tutoring through Varsity Tutors both online and in person. Students I have tutored before in math and standardized testing subjects tell me that my strategies and quick methods for arriving at solutions saves them a great deal of time and energy as they take their exams, which reaffirms my passion and love of tutoring. In my classroom experiences, I found that sometimes the methods that were taught were just too confusing, so then I either created or looked up better ways that secured a better grade for me in the class; the idea that the same problem can be solved in many ways is an idea I try to impart in all of my students so that they can feel comfortable using a process they picked out instead. In my free time, Iove to watch movies, play Super Smash Bros, listen to new music, and read articles on Flipboard. Hobbies: art, movies, reading, writing, books, music

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.

Many students see noticeable progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on your student's starting point and goals. Whether your student is working toward better grades, test score improvements, or mastering specific skills, a personalized tutoring plan with regular sessions creates momentum and measurable results over time.
