Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Brookings's 8 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Brookings School District or is homeschooled, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and academic expectations in our community.
While Brookings schools maintain a 14.2:1 student-teacher ratio, which is solid, individual students still benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific learning style and pace. Tutoring fills gaps that classroom instruction alone may not address, especially for students working ahead, catching up, or preparing for standardized tests like the ACT.
Students in Brookings typically seek help with math, science, and test preparation—particularly ACT prep as students approach college applications. We also support English/language arts, social studies, and subject-specific help for advanced or struggling learners. Varsity Tutors can connect your student with a tutor in virtually any subject offered in South Dakota schools.
Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to build rapport and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and areas needing support—whether that's strengthening fundamentals, preparing for upcoming tests, or working ahead in their Brookings school curriculum. From there, they'll create a personalized plan moving forward.
Tutors working with Brookings students understand South Dakota's academic standards and how they're implemented across our schools. Personalized instruction helps students master grade-level content, build foundational skills, and develop the critical thinking abilities needed to succeed on state assessments and in college-preparatory coursework.
Varsity Tutors works around your family's schedule with personalized instruction that fits your student's needs—whether they need help during the school year, summer preparation, or intensive test prep. We connect you with tutors who can adapt to your availability and learning goals.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets, and many families find that personalized instruction delivers strong returns through improved grades, test scores, and academic confidence. We're happy to discuss pricing and help you find a solution that works for your family.
Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and let us know your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals.
