I am reliving the process of learning that concept myself, both by explaining the concept in new ways and by seeing students wrestle with and eventually grasp the concept for themselves. For me, teaching is a way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more.

Kevin

Business Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am entering my senior year at Brandeis University. I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Economics and Business. I was the head of the Mathematics and Spanish Tutoring Departments in high school. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I spent this past semester in Milan, Italy with a study abroad program focused on strengthening my Italian language skills and taking an economics course at a local university. I am on the Brandeis Mens Club Volleyball team. I am passionate about learning and have always enjoyed helping others learn both in and outside of the classroom. I continued my passion for tutoring during my first year at Brandeis with a mentoring/tutoring program for 'English as a second language' (ESL) middle-school students. I am excited to continue tutoring now that I have some time before the next school semester starts.

Mustafa

Accounting Tutor • +69 Subjects

I earned a B.S. Business Administration from the University of Southern California. I'm now pursuing a J.D. at NYU Law. I have tutored professionally and privately for four years now. Specifically, I tutor Math, English, History, Spanish, French, the SAT, and the LSAT. My favorite subject to teach is French because it is such a unique and interesting language, and it keeps me in practice.I teach my students by starting with the fundamentals and working my way up. This makes it easier for my students to remember what they have learned throughout the semester/year, and it helps them pick up new concepts quickly.When I am not studying or tutoring, I love to read, exercise, and explore. My favorite author is Stephen King, my favorite sports are basketball and snowboarding, and my favorite food is popcorn! I just recently moved to Manhattan, so I venture out into different parts of the city in my free time. So far, I have run into comedians, actors, and many more interesting people.

ACT Prep Tutor • +44 Subjects

My Mission: To deliver clear, concise, and simple solutions that translate into meaningful and measurable improvement for my clients.Hi..I'm Craig Lanzoni, a former corporate finance guy who was introduced to teaching when a colleague asked me to present a lecture on International Finance to his business class at The Westchester Business Institute (now The College of Westchester).That was in 1988. Since that time I've dedicated my career to teaching.At the college level, I've spent over 25 years teaching undergraduate college courses including College Math, Algebra, Statistics, Economics, Business Management, Business Writing, and Operations Management.In addition, I've spent the past 20 years tutoring SAT and ACT, and 12 years tutoring GRE and GMAT. Over that time I've worked with over 2,000 students in one-on-one, small group, classroom, and lecture hall settings. My single largest event was a 4 hour SAT math seminar that was attended by 165 High School Students in Greenwich, CT.Most recently I've partnered with The Walter Luckett Jr. Foundation to bring SAT and ACT prep to students in New Haven, Bridgeport, and Waterbury.My spare time is spent playing golf, skiing and hiking, and teaching archery to kids in after school programs.As your tutor, my job is to provide you with simple approaches that lead to dependable results. In essence, to "teach you how to fish". Your job is to learn "how to fish". If you're looking for someone to feed you, with no effort on your part, I'm not the tutor you want. But if you're looking for a tutor who can provide you with those simple, useable approaches, then give me a call.In any case, I wish you the best.

Gabriel

College Application Essays Tutor • +24 Subjects

Gabriel Paez began teaching in Chicago Public Schools in 2013 as a 1st and 2nd grade bilingual Spanish classroom teacher. During his 3rd year teaching, he transitioned into Bilingual Education Coordinator, responsible for providing ESL and Spanish language arts to Kindergarten through 8th grade. Having finished 6 years at the same school, and earning his Master's degree in Teaching with a Bilingual Spanish & ESL endorsement, Gabriel is now seeking ESL, Spanish, reading, and writing students for the summer. Much of what motivates him as a teacher is his view that bilingualism and multiculturalism are assets, not shortcomings, and that all children have a right to learn the language of their families and communities. His experience teaching multiple grade levels allows him to scaffold instruction exactly to the student's reading and comprehension needs. His communicative approach encourages students to approach reading as a conversation about a topic of interest. He believes students show their best work when they are interested in the material, and that children can sense authenticity and cultural relevance. Through a friendly yet firm teaching style, students will not be expected to complete busy work or packets, but will be engaging in higher level questioning and conversation about texts based in real world topics. Gabriel also excels as a writing tutor for students at all levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from both the Olathe and Blue Valley school districts, as well as private and charter schools across the Olathe area. With 54 schools and nearly 30,000 students in the community, we work with learners across all grade levels and educational settings to provide personalized instruction tailored to each student's needs.

While Olathe schools maintain a 13:1 student-teacher ratio on average, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique learning style, pace, and gaps. This individualized approach means your student gets immediate feedback, customized explanations, and instruction designed specifically for them—rather than instruction designed for a classroom of 20+ students with varying needs.

Tutors work with students to master Kansas standards in core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies. Whether your student needs support catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, personalized instruction helps them build the foundational skills and confidence needed to meet grade-level expectations and perform well on Kansas assessments.

Students in Olathe seek tutoring most often in math (especially algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus), reading comprehension, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. Science, foreign languages, and writing support are also popular, particularly as students progress through middle and high school and coursework becomes more rigorous.

In the first session, the tutor and student get to know each other and identify specific academic goals and challenges. The tutor assesses your student's current understanding, learning style, and areas needing support, then creates a personalized plan to help them succeed. This foundation ensures every future session builds on what works best for your student.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules. We recommend reaching out to discuss your specific situation—we can help you find a tutoring plan that works for your family and your student's goals.
