Jeremy
Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects
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'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.

I am a Speech Pathology major completing my master's degree at Vanderbilt University. I completed my Bachelor???s at the University of South Florida with an honors thesis on the current research in the field of linguistic relativity among bilinguals.

My goal is to become a Ph.D. researcher after I obtain my Certificate of Clinical Competence as a speech therapist. I tutor a wide variety of ages in a range of subjects, including but not limited to test preparation, latin, philosophy, and writing.

Jakobi
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am currently applying for medical school and working towards a masters in public health. I have experience working with many different ages ranging from middle school to college level students. Most of my experience is with math and sciences as well as test prep for English ACT exams. I can tutor in math (pre calculus, trigonometry, algebra, geometry) sciences (biological sciences, chemistry, physics) and English. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because it is like a puzzle, and who does not like a good puzzle? My teaching philosophy consists of learning about the students' interests and providing a way to relate their interests into the work they are doing so it can be more meaningful to them. I have found that the more a subject means to a student personally, the better they do in the subject. So, in this way it is possible to turn a subject weakness into a strength and passion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students across all 9 schools in Oak Ridge with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends one of the schools in the Oak Ridge school district or is homeschooled, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and Tennessee academic standards.
With nearly 5,000 students across Oak Ridge's schools, we see consistent demand for support in math, science, and English—subjects that build foundational skills for success in Tennessee's standardized assessments. We also work with students preparing for AP exams, ACT/SAT college entrance tests, and those needing targeted help in STEM fields, which are particularly important in Oak Ridge's education-focused community.
Oak Ridge maintains a solid 13.9:1 student-teacher ratio, but even in smaller classes, individual learning needs vary widely. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific gaps, learning style, and goals—something that's difficult for teachers to do with a full classroom. This is especially valuable for students working toward advanced placement, preparing for college entrance exams, or needing extra support in challenging subjects.
Your student's first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand their current level, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess what's working well and where they need support, then create a personalized plan aligned with their Oak Ridge school's curriculum and any state or standardized testing requirements. This foundation ensures every session that follows is focused and productive.
Tutors working with students in Oak Ridge are familiar with Tennessee's academic standards and how they're taught across the district. Whether your student needs help mastering grade-level content, preparing for TNReady assessments, or excelling in advanced courses, personalized instruction targets the specific skills and knowledge Tennessee requires at each level.
We take time to understand your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and goals before making a match. Tutors in our network have expertise across subjects and grade levels, and we connect you with someone whose teaching approach fits your student's needs and schedule. If the match isn't quite right, we can adjust until you find the perfect fit.
Yes—we work with families to find a tutoring schedule and format that fits their needs. Whether your student needs weekly sessions, intensive prep for an upcoming exam, or help during a particular unit, we can customize a plan. We also serve students across Oak Ridge with personalized instruction that works around school schedules, extracurriculars, and family commitments.
Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. The key is personalized, focused instruction combined with practice—which is exactly what 1-on-1 tutoring provides. We recommend starting with a plan that allows enough time for real progress before major assessments or end-of-term grades.
