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.

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.

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Whether your student attends a school in the Davenport Community School District or nearby areas, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific needs.

Tutors work with students to master Iowa Core standards across subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. With Davenport's average student-teacher ratio of 14:1 in classrooms, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides the focused attention students need to close gaps, build confidence, and excel on state assessments and in their coursework.

Davenport students frequently seek help with algebra and geometry, reading comprehension, standardized test preparation (including ACT and SAT), and writing skills. We also work with students on foundational math, elementary reading, science, and study skills—helping them build the strong academic foundation needed to succeed in Iowa's rigorous curriculum.

During the first session, a tutor will assess your student's current strengths, challenges, and learning style to create a personalized plan. They'll discuss specific academic goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for the ACT, or mastering a difficult concept—and establish how tutoring will support success both in and out of the classroom.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in ACT preparation, helping Davenport students build test-taking strategies, review content, and practice under realistic conditions. Whether your student is aiming for a competitive score or looking to improve their composite, personalized test prep can make a meaningful difference in results.

Many students see improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when addressing a specific subject or skill gap. The key is starting early and maintaining regular sessions—even one session per week can help your student catch up, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to succeed in their classroom.
