Madeleine

Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am currently a senior attending the University of Notre Dame, and I am pursuing a degree in the Program of Liberal Studies (PLS). PLS is a renowned Great Books program that aims to perfect the student's ability to think critically in a variety of disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, and history. In PLS, great emphasis is placed on formulating deep and effective arguments and presenting them clearly in a technically correct manner, both in class and through my written work. Consequently, I have had much practice writing and editing my own work as well as editing that of my classmates. I am also pursuing a minor in education and am seriously considering pursuing a career in the educational field after graduating. I am passionate about helping others learn to the fullest extent of their abilities while enjoying the subject at the same time! Hobbies: running, reading, music, writing, art, books

I have a Master's in Education and a BA in Human Biology from Stanford University. I love working with students of all ages and do my best to make learning relevant and fun. I look forward to working with you!

Dylan

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I am known among friends for my love of puzzles, riddles, word problems, and mathematical challenges. I have a deep knowledge of pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus and a passion for teaching it. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish. While foundational vocab and grammar are important, I emphasize speaking and encourage my students to take risks. I believe embracing discomfort is critical to learning a language. Spanish has helped me to travel and live in different communities throughout the world. I strive to kindle a similar appreciation and passion for language in my students.

Tyler

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a graduate of Luther College, a liberal arts school in Decorah, IA. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Religion, with a minor in Social Welfare. Throughout college, I tutored many students in high school and college level math. I loved the process of helping people through math problems, so after graduating I served in the MN Math Corps as a Math Enrichment Tutor, where I learned research based teaching methods to tutor middle school students who were below proficiency in math. Currently, I am certified to tutor a broad range of math subjects ranging from elementary math to pre-calculus, as well as ACT Math and GRE Math/Verbal test prep. Through my experience, I've found that the best method of tutoring is to tailor it to each student's learning style (every concept can be taught/understood in multiple ways), and make sure the student actually understands what he/she is doing versus just learning equations and methods to complete assignments. I am very passionate about tutoring math as I love empowering people, and I believe mathematics is a vital subject to learn and understand. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a data analyst for a market research firm near Chicago. In my free time, I enjoy keeping up on current events, reading (I love Harry Potter and Hunger Games!), Ultimate Frisbee, playing guitar and piano, and learning economics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hillsboro has 36 schools across two school districts serving over 17,000 students, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Hillsboro School District or Forest Grove area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Tutors work with students to master Oregon's academic standards in core subjects like math, reading, science, and writing. Personalized instruction allows tutors to identify gaps in understanding and target instruction to help students meet grade-level benchmarks at their own pace—something that's harder to achieve in classrooms with an 18.1:1 student-teacher ratio.

During the initial session, your tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their learning style, and discuss specific academic challenges or goals. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs—whether that's catching up in a subject, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a new skill.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all major subjects including math, science, English, social studies, foreign languages, and test prep for standardized assessments. We also support specialized areas like AP courses, honors classes, and learning support for students who need extra help keeping up with grade-level work.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit different budgets—whether that's weekly sessions for ongoing support or intensive help before a major test or assignment. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience working with students. All tutors go through a vetting process to ensure they're qualified to teach their subjects and can adapt their instruction to meet individual student needs—whether your student needs foundational support or advanced challenge.

Absolutely. One-on-one personalized instruction is especially effective for students who are struggling, since tutors can slow down, reteach concepts, and build confidence without the pressure of a large classroom. Many Hillsboro students benefit from tutoring to close gaps, catch up to grade-level standards, and regain confidence in their abilities.

Getting started is simple—reach out to Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's academic needs and goals. We'll match them with a qualified tutor, schedule a first session, and begin building a personalized plan. Most families see their students engaged and making progress within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring.
