I am a firm believer of this and, as such, I do not spoon feed students during sessions but rather guide them to figure out how to answer their own questions and solve their own problems. Thus, I focus not only on what to do, but how and why to do it. One of the most significant drivers of independe...

Frequently Asked Questions

Homeschooled students often benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction because tutors can adapt to each student's learning pace and style in ways that self-directed learning sometimes can't. A tutor can fill curriculum gaps, provide expert guidance in challenging subjects, and offer accountability—especially valuable when parents are managing multiple children or unfamiliar subjects. This targeted support helps homeschooled students stay on track with grade-level expectations while building confidence in weaker areas.

Yes. Tutors can align with whatever curriculum you're using—whether that's a structured program like Sonlight or Classical Conversations, a secular approach like Evan-Moor, or a hybrid model combining multiple resources. When you connect with a tutor, share your curriculum details and learning goals, and the tutor will tailor instruction to reinforce and extend what your student is already learning at home.

Homeschooled students often struggle with staying motivated without classroom structure, managing multiple subjects independently, and identifying gaps in foundational skills before they compound. Math and writing are particularly common areas where students benefit from expert guidance, since these subjects require sequential skill-building and frequent feedback. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by providing structure, expert feedback, and targeted practice in problem areas.

The first session is typically an assessment and planning meeting. The tutor will learn about your student's current level, curriculum, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's catching up in math, strengthening writing skills, or preparing for standardized tests. From there, the tutor develops a personalized plan and discusses how frequent sessions should be to achieve your goals.

Math, writing, and science are the subjects where homeschooled students most frequently seek tutoring support. Math requires sequential skill-building and immediate feedback on problem-solving; writing benefits from an expert's detailed feedback on structure and clarity; and science often needs hands-on explanation and lab guidance. Tutors can also help with standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams) if your student is planning to take those assessments.

Tutors can assess your student's progress against grade-level benchmarks in core subjects like math, reading, and writing. Many homeschooling families also use standardized tests (like the IOWA or ITBS) to gauge where their student stands nationally. A tutor can help interpret these results, identify any gaps, and create a plan to address them—ensuring your student meets expectations for their grade level.

Frequency depends on your student's needs and goals. Some homeschooled students benefit from weekly sessions focused on a specific subject like math or writing, while others might meet twice weekly for more intensive support. A tutor can recommend a schedule based on your student's current level, the challenges you're addressing, and your timeline for improvement.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have experience working with homeschooled students and understand the unique flexibility and structure of homeschool education. When you describe your student's curriculum, goals, and learning style, we match you with a tutor who's a good fit. This personalized matching ensures your tutor can support your homeschool approach while providing expert instruction in the subjects your student needs.
