Allyssa

Middle School Math Tutor • +25 Subjects

I've always found joy in helping others feel seen, capable, and supported, and that's what drew me to education and tutoring. Over the years, I've worked with students in many roles substitute teacher, daycare teacher, graduate assistant, and more and each experience has shown me how powerful one-on-one support can be. I've studied psychology and counseling at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and that background helps me connect with students not just academically, but emotionally as well. I tutor a variety of subjects, including reading, writing, elementary math, study skills, and social-emotional learning. Reading and writing are especially close to my heart because I love watching students grow more confident in expressing themselves. My tutoring style is warm, patient, and encouraging. I focus on building trust, meeting students where they are, and celebrating their progress no matter how big or small. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy being active in my church community, especially working with children. I also love being outdoors, journaling, and learning about how the mind works. I truly believe every student has unique strengths, and it's an honor to help them discover what they're capable of.

Ashley

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am currently a graduate student at Northwestern University, pursuing a M.S. in biomedical engineering. My past experiences in tutoring are spread across a wide age range (K-12). I spent a few summers teaching and interacting with elementary students to help improve their math and English skills for the grade they will be entering. My passion runs deeply for tutoring music theory and math subjects. Encouraging people to see academic struggles as a stepping stone rather than a sign of failure is how I lift up the spirits of my students. Outside of academics, I spend most of my time playing piano, exploring other instruments, and watching tv with a cup of coffee and/or a bowl of popcorn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Personalized music tutoring covers a wide range of skills tailored to your goals and current level. Whether you're learning to read sheet music, developing technique on an instrument, preparing for auditions, studying music theory, or working toward AP Music Theory or IB Music exams, tutors can customize instruction to focus on what matters most to you. Many students also benefit from guidance on ear training, composition, improvisation, and performance confidence—areas that often receive limited attention in group settings.

One-on-one instruction allows tutors to address your specific challenges, learning pace, and musical interests without compromise. While group lessons work well for some, research on personalized learning shows that individualized attention accelerates progress significantly. In tutoring, if you're struggling with rhythm or intonation, a tutor can diagnose the root cause and adjust exercises immediately rather than keeping pace with a group. This targeted approach is especially valuable when preparing for competitions, auditions, or standardized music exams.

Yes. Tutors can help you select repertoire, refine technique, build interpretive skills, and manage performance anxiety—all critical for audition success. Whether you're auditioning for a school music program, a conservatory, or competing in a festival, personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific pieces and skills auditioners expect. Many students find that having a dedicated mentor boost both their musical ability and their confidence walking into an audition room.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors across a broad range of instruments—piano, guitar, violin, voice, woodwinds, brass, drums, and more—as well as different musical styles including classical, jazz, contemporary, folk, and world music traditions. Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced musician looking to develop new styles or technical skills, you can get matched with a tutor who specializes in what you want to learn.

No. Tutoring works for everyone from absolute beginners to advanced musicians. If you're just starting out, a tutor will build foundational skills like proper technique, music reading, and rhythm from the ground up. If you already play or sing, tutoring can help you break through plateaus, deepen your musicality, or explore new techniques and styles. The key is having a clear goal—whether that's learning an instrument, passing a music theory exam, or preparing for a performance.

Music theory can feel abstract without personalized guidance. Tutors break down concepts like chord progressions, voice leading, form analysis, and counterpoint through examples relevant to the music you care about—whether classical, jazz, or contemporary. This contextual approach makes theory stick better than memorizing rules alone. Students preparing for AP Music Theory, music school exams, or simply wanting deeper understanding of how music works benefit significantly from one-on-one explanation and targeted practice.

Progress depends on your starting level, practice consistency, and specific goals. Many students notice improved technique and confidence within a few weeks of regular lessons and practice. Developing strong fundamentals usually takes a few months of consistent work, while advanced skills like complex pieces, improvisation, or exam-level theory may take longer. The most important factor is practice between lessons—tutors provide guidance and accountability, but your progress accelerates when you engage regularly with what you're learning.
