Nancy
Adult Literacy Tutor • +16 Subjects
Are you interested in my experiences teaching or tutoring experiences??? Would you like to hear the story of my backyard classroom when I was 10 years old? Naw! Boring! That is history.I have been teaching and/or tutoring since my student days at Eastern Michigan University. Topics included English literature, writing, and reading. For Middle School topics included social studies and language arts. For High School it was literature, reading and grammar. And for College it was tutoring students in a variety of majors.Washington State University provided a Master's in teaching adults. Those teaching experiences have been the best of all worlds and the worst.The best experience for a teacher or tutor is being granted the opportunity to help a person grow in his/her skills. Observing the growth in confidence cannot be beat as a best experience for any tutor.The worst experience for a tutor or teacher is watching a student struggle, but refuse help. If you are asking for help you deserve an award.My job as a tutor is to tackle with you that pesky topic that is presenting problems. And did I mention have a good time? If you want more background information ask for my resume. I am ready to work with you to improve your skills.

A strong working relationship is important for your success.What are your dreams and goals, your strengths and challenges? What kind of learner are you?You should know what kind of teacher I am! I'm a retired Dance and Theater educator, with thirteen years of service in public education. In the decades before I got my teaching license, I worked as a teaching artist in the Twin Cities and the New York City metropolitan area, teaching hundreds of students, pre-K to adults. I am also an actress, and I look forward to returning to the stage as the world opens up!My areas of expertise include English Literature, (BA, Carleton College, 1983), Acting and Shakespearean performance (National Shakespeare Conservatory, 1991), and Educational Theater (New York University, 1997). Educational Theater encompasses a wide variety of practices, including, but not limited to performance skills. Theater and drama modalities are used around the world to enhance learning across the curriculum. We can find ways to use those learning tools, if you are interested!I offer particularly strong skills in language and literacy. I provide my students reading and writing support in traditional and non-traditional ways, often using speaking and listening (two under-appreciated aspects of literacy) to explore language, meaning, story, and structure.We'll find ways for you to succeed, as the learner YOU are.Let's read together, write together, think together, and build your success. You can do it! I can't wait to get started!

Rachel
ACT Math Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am a junior at Northwestern University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Education and Social Policy with a concentration in Human Development and Psychological Services. I am also pursuing a minor in Music Technology.I first began tutoring as a junior in high school. Starting out, my main subjects were Algebra II, Geometry, and Spanish for beginners. I then shifted my focus to standardized tests after finding personal success with the math section of the SAT and the Math Level 2 SAT subject test. I have since expanded and now also tutor for Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus AB, and AP Statistics (6th through 12th grade).I am passionate about helping students because I grew up hearing that there were two kinds of people: those who were good at math and those who simply weren't built for it. I don't believe this is true. I think everyone can be a "math person" with the right individualized approach, and I thoroughly enjoy the challenges and rewards of helping students become confident problem-solvers both inside the classroom and beyond!Outside of tutoring and my own studies, I enjoy cooking, graphic design, college sports, and singing with my a cappella group. I also enjoy drawing and painting in my spare time.

Erin
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
Hi all! I am a Southern-raised and educated aspiring musical theatre actress living in Manhattan. I can provide your children with fun (as a lifelong theatre/ comedy lover and performer) as well as dedicated and serious homework help and tutoring. I was raised in a home where academics and good grades were considered my "job," and playtime a "privilege." Because of this, I graduated with a 4.7 GPA from high schoo.I am fluent in Spanish as I majored in it at UNC, studied abroad in Seville, Spain for six months, and then volunteered in Costa Rica in a daycare for five weeks. I also majored in History (American) in college, which I greatly enjoyed. In high school, I took AP Euro and AP US History and excelled on these tests, as well as the SAT subject test. I feel I can be the entertaining, dedicated, and knowledgeable tutor you may need! I look forward to hearing from you!
Isaiah
Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
One of the things I find my greatest pleasure in is being able to help others. There are few things as rewarding to me as seeing the "Aha!" moment a student gets during tutoring. That's why I'm here: I'm hoping to help students in need of assistance to soar academically.My specialty is in the STEM field, particularly mathematics. Since math subjects tend to build on each other and remain necessary in the engineering field, most math subjects are still fresh in my mind. I excel in STEM subjects and have a high affinity for theory, so I'm confident in my abilities instruct others well.
David
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I like to consider myself a fairly quantitative person. My inquisitive nature led me to studying Mathematics at Baruch College, where I've taken a myriad of courses in both pure and applied math. Understanding the importance of education, I've always been fascinated by teachers and the impact they're able to have on students both in and out of the classroom. Hence, this led me to tutoring students myself, which I have been doing since high school. Most of my experience tutoring lays in mathematics, as that's what I consider myself to be most passionate about. I like to cater my teaching style towards the needs of the student, meaning I approach each session with a flexible mindset, as every student has different goals. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, swimming, and studying/playing chess.

Yes. With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 in Arlington Heights schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to get the individualized attention they need. Tutoring fills that gap, allowing students to ask questions, work at their own pace, and dive deeper into concepts that may get rushed in a classroom setting.
Tutors who work with Varsity Tutors are familiar with Illinois State Standards and the specific expectations for each grade level and subject. They tailor instruction to help students master the skills and content they need to succeed on Illinois assessments and in their coursework, whether that's in math, reading, science, or other core subjects.

The specific needs vary by grade level—younger students often focus on foundational math and reading skills, while high schoolers frequently need support with advanced math and test prep for the ACT or SAT.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student is strong and where they need support, then develop a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure every session after that is focused and productive.
Varsity Tutors works with the schedules of Arlington Heights families, offering personalized instruction at times that fit your family's needs. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during the school year or summer, we connect them with tutors who can accommodate their schedule.

Some students focus on mastering a specific skill or concept, while others work toward bigger goals like improving their GPA or preparing for standardized tests.
