Anthony
Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects
I am a certified English teacher and Principal in the State of Missouri. I believe that students are under more pressure than ever to succeed in school. However, due to the ever increasing class sizes that some of the best schools are experiencing students are not able to receive the personal attention that some of them need to be at their best. That is why tutoring can be so valuable. I am able to work one on one with a student which allows me to devote all my time to helping them with their particular problems. I am able to help students understand what it is they are being asked to do, assist them in accomplishing it and finally, provide them the ability to recall the information for future use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Columbia's 53 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in Columbia Public Schools or Boone County R-I, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
Columbia students frequently seek support in math, science, and English—especially as they progress through middle and high school coursework. We also help students prepare for standardized tests like the ACT, which is widely taken by Missouri high schoolers, and provide support for advanced courses like AP and honors classes.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific gaps and learning needs of each student, ensuring they master Missouri's grade-level standards at their own pace. This targeted approach is especially valuable in a district with a 12.9:1 student-teacher ratio, where classroom instruction may not always address every student's individual needs.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to connect, discuss academic goals, and identify areas where the student needs the most support. The tutor will assess the student's current understanding and work together to create a personalized plan tailored to their learning style and objectives.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to find options that fit their budget and schedule. Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's needs and get personalized pricing information.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience helping students learn. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student based on their academic needs and learning style, ensuring a productive tutoring relationship.
