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
Sarah
Middle School Math Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am happy to call Houston home now! I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Art History and Child Development and completed my master's degree in Communications at the American University of Paris. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books, running, travel
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.
Tolu
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a graduate from Stanford University. I received my Bachelor's in Economics there and continued to receive a certificate in Full Stack Web Development from the University of Texas Austin. I have tutored intermittently, primarily teaching test prep; however, I have at different points taught most everything. Here in the Houston area, I've worked with Testmasters, C2 Education and Test Geek. I implement the Socratic Method into my teaching style: I ask plenty of questions that force students to deeply understand the material and to explain how they know why their answer is correct or not. I also believe it is my duty to equip students with tools to become better learners themselves which entails welcoming unique and creative approaches to solving problems, encouraging students to connect the relationships between different topics and subjects, and recommending using external sources and materials to learn and supplement understanding. Hobbies: art, travel, sports, reading, writing, books, traveling, music

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Sherman's 15 schools and both school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Sherman ISD or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand Texas curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction focuses on the specific areas where your student needs support—whether that's reading, math, science, or social studies as outlined in Texas standards. Tutors work at your student's pace to build mastery of concepts tested on STAAR assessments, helping them develop the confidence and skills needed to perform well.
Sherman students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including math (algebra, geometry, pre-calculus), English language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments. Many families also connect students with tutors for ACT/SAT prep, AP courses, and support in foundational skills—tutors customize instruction based on each student's goals and challenges.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss challenges they're facing, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring can help—no pressure, just a collaborative start to meaningful progress.
Sherman's average student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 means classroom teachers are managing multiple students with different needs. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and goals—addressing gaps that might be hard to catch in a larger classroom setting and building confidence through individualized attention.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—there's no one-size-fits-all cost. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget and schedule. We recommend connecting with our team to discuss your student's needs and get transparent pricing information.
