I am a recent college graduate looking for opportunities to tutor and get involved with education before I attend medical school this fall. I have a bachelor's of science from the University of Akron and my academic areas of focus where I am best prepared to teach are animal and cell physiology, immunology, biochemistry, and preparing for the MCAT. I took the MCAT this past January and am hoping to share some of the techniques that worked for me while the test is still fresh in my mind. For the ACT I would feel comfortable teaching the reading and science sections since those are my strong points.

I am a senior at Ohio State. I am an actuarial science major and a business minor. For those who don't know, actuaries work for insurance companies and are the people who quantify risk. I chose to major in actuarial science because math has always been my favorite subject. I like the challenging and problem solving aspects of the major.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Columbus's 156 schools and 89 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Columbus City Schools building, a charter school, or a suburban district school, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.

Ohio's academic standards in math, English language arts, science, and social studies form the foundation for what Columbus students learn in their classrooms. Personalized tutoring reinforces these standards through targeted instruction tailored to each student's pace and learning style, helping them build mastery in areas where they need extra support and preparing them for state assessments.

Columbus students frequently seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts, science, and standardized test preparation including the SAT and ACT. Many students also benefit from support in specific courses like chemistry, biology, and AP classes as they progress through high school.

In the first session, your student's tutor will assess their current understanding, identify specific areas where they need support, and learn about their learning style and goals. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized instruction plan that addresses your student's unique needs and builds on what they're already learning in their Columbus classroom.

Columbus schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 19.7:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students with different needs simultaneously. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides focused attention on your individual student's learning gaps, learning pace, and specific questions—allowing for the kind of targeted instruction that research shows significantly accelerates academic progress.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience teaching students in Ohio. Tutors are selected based on their expertise in specific subjects and their ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt to each student's learning needs.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your student's needs and goals—this helps us match them with the right tutor and create a tutoring plan that fits your family's budget and schedule.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in SAT and ACT preparation. Personalized test prep focuses on your student's specific weak areas—whether that's math concepts, reading comprehension, or test-taking strategy—rather than generic review, helping them improve their scores and college readiness.
