Scott

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a huge component of constant feedback. A session may be wasted if feedback is only provided in the last five minutes. For this reason, I would help students stay motivated by maintaining a conversation over the material and relating to other interesting aspects of their life. Hobbies: books, reading, writing, music, art, sports

Kim

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects

I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor.

Shannon

College Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am an undergraduate at Rice University, and my favorite subjects to tutor are math and science. I also enjoy doing test prep, and my experience comes from helping fellow students in high school. One of the most important aspects of tutoring is fitting the teaching style to each student. One method that works great for one student may not work well for another. Tutoring is all about coming up with different ways for my students to understand the material. If my student is not interested in the subject we are learning, I will try to find a way to tie in their interests and passions into the subject to better engage them. I want to be there for my students, not only as a tutor, but also as a friend. In addition to my interests in math and science (and learning in general), I enjoy swimming, biking, reading, and cooking. I also believe that fostering curiosity and determination are the keys to success. Hobbies: art, books, reading, cooking, music, swimming, writing

Toshiki

Calculus Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a science writer and podcaster with a rigorous academic background who is passionate about sharing my knowledge of chemistry with curious minds. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and Asian art history from UC Berkeley and completed a PhD in inorganic chemistry at MIT. I have five years of experience teaching college-level general and organic chemistry courses at various institutions in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and hope to expand on my experience as a private tutor. Often a required subject for other classes, chemistry is often considered "the central science" as it's related to biology and physics, and I appreciate that chemical principles can be observed throughout daily life from cooking to medicine to electronics. I believe that education is the world's greatest social equalizer and hope that my students learn to make new connections between classes and other aspects of their life. Outside of science, I love dogs, food, and the outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Friendswood's 16 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Friendswood Independent School District or nearby areas, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and Texas academic standards they need to meet.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for mastering Texas standards because tutors can focus on your student's specific gaps and learning pace. In Friendswood's schools with an average student-teacher ratio of 15.8:1, classroom teachers often can't provide individualized attention—tutoring fills that gap by targeting exactly what your student needs to excel on STAAR assessments and meet grade-level expectations.

Friendswood students typically seek help in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and science—subjects that build foundational skills for later success. We also support students preparing for STAAR exams, AP courses, and college entrance tests. Varsity Tutors can connect you with tutors specializing in whatever subject your student needs most.

Your first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for STAAR, or building confidence in a tough subject. The tutor will ask questions, assess where your student stands, and create a personalized plan. You'll walk away with a clear sense of how tutoring will help.

Many students see improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when they receive personalized instruction tailored to their learning gaps. The key is starting early and maintaining regular sessions—research on 1-on-1 instruction shows it's one of the most effective ways to help students catch up. Varsity Tutors can get you connected with a tutor quickly so your student doesn't fall further behind.

Absolutely. STAAR preparation is one of the most common reasons Friendswood families connect with tutors. Expert tutors understand the test format, content standards, and types of questions your student will face. They can focus on weak areas, build test-taking strategies, and boost confidence—all crucial for performing well on these important Texas assessments.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and how frequently your student needs sessions. Varsity Tutors works with families to find options that fit different budgets—whether you need intensive support or ongoing help with one subject. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get a personalized quote.

We take time to understand your student's specific needs, learning style, and goals before making a match. Our team connects you with a tutor who has expertise in the subject, experience working with students at your child's level, and a teaching approach that fits how your student learns best. If the match isn't perfect, we'll help find someone better.
