Jeffrey

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Aurora's 5 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends school in District 131, District 204, or another Aurora district, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.

Aurora students typically seek help in math, English language arts, science, and standardized test preparation—especially as they work toward Illinois state assessments and college entrance exams. Many students also benefit from tutoring in foundational skills like reading comprehension and writing, which strengthen performance across all subjects.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Illinois Learning Standards and how they're implemented locally. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target specific gaps in understanding, reinforce grade-level expectations, and help students build the critical thinking and problem-solving skills emphasized in Illinois standards.

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 any challenges they're facing, and create a personalized plan to address their needs—whether that's catching up on missed concepts or preparing for an upcoming test.

Aurora's average student-teacher ratio is 14.3:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students with varying needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides undivided attention, allowing tutors to adjust pacing, teaching methods, and explanations to match exactly how your student learns best—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules—you can start with a few sessions per week or adjust as needed. We recommend discussing your specific needs and budget when you connect with us so we can find a match that works for your family.

Many students show noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings help reinforce learning and build confidence more quickly.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver effective personalized instruction. When you get matched with a tutor, you'll know their background and can discuss how their experience aligns with your student's needs.
