Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas—many of whom earned strong grades in those courses at Southeastern Louisiana University or have professional experience in their field. Each tutor goes through a vetting process to ensure they can explain concepts clearly and help students achieve their academic goals. Your tutor's background at SLU means they can speak authentically about how the material applies to your coursework.

Alumni tutors excel across a wide range of subjects including STEM courses (mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics), business and accounting, English and writing, history, foreign languages, and more. Since Southeastern Louisiana University offers diverse degree programs, you can connect with tutors who have succeeded in courses specific to your major or general education requirements. Whether you need help with introductory courses or upper-level major-specific classes, alumni tutors can provide targeted support.

Your first session is an opportunity for you and your tutor to get to know each other and identify your specific challenges. The tutor will ask about the concepts you're struggling with, review any coursework you bring, and understand your learning goals—whether that's improving your GPA, preparing for an exam, or mastering a particular topic. From there, they'll create a personalized plan to help you succeed in your classes at Southeastern Louisiana University.

Alumni tutors have taken the same courses you're taking and know which topics tend to be challenging, what exams emphasize, and how to approach assignments the way professors expect. They can share study strategies that worked for them, explain concepts using examples from their own experience, and help you understand not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind the material. This direct familiarity with SLU's academic culture makes their guidance especially relevant to your success.

When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you'll tell us about your subject, the specific topics you need help with, and your learning preferences.

You can discuss your goals with your tutor before committing to ongoing sessions, ensuring you're working with someone who's a good fit for your needs.

Results depend on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see improvements in their understanding of difficult concepts, increased confidence in class participation and exams, and better grades. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows it's one of the most effective ways to accelerate learning because tutoring is tailored to your specific gaps and learning style. Alumni tutors bring both subject expertise and knowledge of what success looks like at Southeastern Louisiana University.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can work around your schedule, whether you need sessions during the week, weekends, or around exam periods. Many students find it helpful to schedule regular sessions (weekly or twice weekly) to build momentum, while others prefer flexible, as-needed tutoring when they hit challenging topics. You and your tutor can discuss what works best for your class schedule and learning pace.
