BA Ripon College • Doctor of Philosophy, Chemistry Yale University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a veteran college chemistry professor with a Ph.D. from Yale who has taught Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry I many times. I have also taught Introductory Chemistry to students who had never had chemistry before and also a General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for health professions. I look at chemistry as a set of skills to be learned, similar to learning a sport or a musical instrument. I can show you what to do, but to really learn you need to do things yourself.

I am a graduate student of University of Memphis, USA. After completing my schooling I am working in Mathematics. It been a beautiful, peaceful, adventurous and good learning time. I completed my bachelors in Mathematics honors from Delhi University, India and then masters from IIT Bombay, India. Both of the institutes are top institutes of India and their course structure and referred book helped in building strong basics and developing the interest even deeper. After completing masters I joined Tata Consultancy services as senior data analyst but in starting few months only I realized I want to pursue PhD. So I joined University of Memphis in spring 2017.

Grant
BA University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of Memphis. I graduated magna cum laude in English with a concentration in Literature. While being a student I was part of the Honors Mentor-ship Program where I helped incoming honors freshmen get acclimated to college life. I held weekly meetings with them and helped them from homework assignments to where they could find good food in or around campus. I will be pursuing a masters degree in the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in the summer and hopefully one day become employed as a high school English teacher. I tutor in high school and college level English literature, writing, and grammar. Since my concentration was in literature my favorite area to tutor would be in any literature related assignment. Whether it be for reading comprehension, critical reading, or for research purposes. I believe education is very important and should not be taken for granted. The choices you make in a 4-8 year period greatly influence the rest of your life and getting a strong and well-rounded education helps set-up for future success. My spare time is generally filled with video games and reading (casual or academic) and always striving to learn new things.

Anusha
BA Emory University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Emory University working towards a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology, as well as a minor in global health, culture, and society. I tutored in multiple subject areas in high school as a peer tutor as well as a tutor to younger students in elementary and middle school. I also tutored elementary school students in multiple subject areas during my first year at Emory. I tutor in many subjects, but have always been passionate specifically about tutoring in math. I have been tutored by peers many times throughout high school and college in different subjects, including the ACT. I found unique ways to solve problems and expand my problem solving skills through this, especially because I felt as though my peers were better able to relate to me, and therefore cater to my needs as a student. My approach is catered specifically to each student by first learning how he or she best learns, and then using tactics that will benefit them the most as they learn and grow as a student.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Memphis's 250 schools with expert tutors who understand Tennessee's academic standards and local curriculum expectations. Whether your student attends a school in Shelby County or needs support with specific Tennessee state benchmarks, we match them with tutors who can provide personalized instruction tailored to their needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 in Memphis schools, many students benefit from additional one-on-one support to keep pace with their class. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings. This targeted approach helps students build confidence and close knowledge gaps before they widen.

Memphis students frequently seek support in math, reading, and test preparation—especially as they progress through Tennessee's grade-level standards and prepare for state assessments. We also work with students on foundational skills, writing, science, and subject-specific challenges that emerge at different grade levels. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in the exact areas where your student needs the most help.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their academic goals, and identify specific areas where they need support. This might involve reviewing recent classwork, discussing challenges with specific concepts, or understanding how they learn best. From there, the tutor develops a personalized plan that aligns with your student's school curriculum and learning pace.

Tutors who work with Memphis students are familiar with Tennessee's academic standards and how they're applied in Shelby County schools. Whether your student is working toward grade-level proficiency, preparing for state assessments, or moving ahead, personalized instruction ensures they're building the specific skills and knowledge Tennessee expects at each grade level. This alignment helps students succeed in their actual classroom while building deeper understanding.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules. To get a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs, connect with our team—they'll help you understand pricing and find a tutoring plan that works for your family.

Varsity Tutors takes time to understand your student's learning style, academic needs, 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 the match supports your student's success. If the fit isn't quite right, we can work with you to find a better match.

Many students show noticeable improvement in confidence and understanding within the first few weeks of personalized instruction. However, the timeline depends on your student's starting point, the subject, and how consistently they work with their tutor. Regular communication with the tutor helps you track progress and adjust the plan as needed to keep your student moving forward.
