4+ Years Tutoring

I am a scientist turned non-traditional pre-med. I earned my Master's Degree in Biology from the University of Notre Dame in 2022, where I studied phenotypes of malaria genetic cross progeny. While working full-time in a public health laboratory, I conquered my MCAT exam and have gained 5 medical school acceptances in the current application cycle. Having received support from fellow tutors during my own journey, I find it deeply satisfying to help other pre-med students on the journey to their medical school acceptance.

BA Stanford University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Stanford University with a Bachelor's Degree in Human Biology. My concentration was on the Ethics of Communicating Bioengineering and focused extensively on bioengineering, bioethics, and the way to unite those subjects through skilled communication. In my time in college, I tutored students in the Structured Liberal Education program through their Alumni Connection program and wrote extensive research papers on a variety of topics, spanning from the best way to counteract biological terror to how the ideas of Marx intersected with modern anime. My strongest subjects are English and Biology, and I take a nontraditional approach to tutoring. It's important to meet students where they're at, figuring out how to shore up their weak points while making their strengths shine for whatever their specific goals are.

Mustafa
BA Vanderbilt University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University. I am working to earn a Bachelor of Science in mathematics with a minor in Art History. Ever since High School, I have had a passion for tutoring. I taught at a voluntary after school ACT program and tutored independently students across my county ranging from age five to sixteen. Growing up in a low socioeconomic area plagued with low standardized test scores I understood the power I possessed to give back to my community to those around me. Ever since I have been in love with tutoring and working with students to help better themselves and their intellectual growth. I have experience tutoring in most subjects but my main adoration has always been mathematics. I have encountered so many people who have a bitter taste in their mouth towards math due to their prior experiences. Whenever I am able to change their view towards math I am always ecstatic. I have witnessed the power education has to change someone's life and I want to pass on my knowledge to my students so they may pass it onto others one day themselves.

Rosalyn
Current Undergrad, Mathematics Amherst College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am sophomore at Amherst College, working towards obtaining an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, with a potential double major in either Psychology or Black Studies. I have always enjoyed teaching others and helping my peers with their homework, especially in math. I really love working with students to help them understand concepts they find difficult by looking at those concepts from different angles. I have done some one-on-one math tutor, as well as often helping my peers with their math homework in various levels of math. I tutor many math subjects, including elementary math, pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, pre-Calculus and Calculus 1. Math has always been my favorite subject, and I like to tutor math because I think anyone is capable of doing math if they are taught in a method they can understand. I like to work with students to find an approach to math problems that they comprehend. I will try multiple approaches to the same problem until I find one that works for each specific student. Outside of tutoring and school, I love to meet new people and try new things. I enjoy watching football, painting and crafting, reading, and baking.

Jennessa
Current Undergrad Student, International Relations Boston College
8+ Years Tutoring

I'm a student at BC. I've always loved to help others understand. When I was little I would have "class" and turn my younger siblings into my students. In elementary school, I began to receive great personal satisfaction from helping my classmates and friends with any homework they were confused about. Throughout high school I volunteered as a tutor since I enjoyed it so much and now I work as a part-time tutor and mentor to the children of newly-arrived immigrants in Boston. I have a very individualized approach to teaching, drawing on the interests, experiences, and style of learning of my students. My areas of speciality are both English and Spanish grammar, reading/writing, and fluency. I would love to help you/your child in any way I'm able!

With a bachelor's degree in religion from Dartmouth College, I have developed a deep appreciation for the power of language and storytelling. My tutoring experience has equipped me to foster a supportive learning environment where students can flourish and express themselves authentically.

By focusing on English Grammar and Syntax, as well as UK A Level Irish and Russian, I strive to cultivate not just academic skills but also a lifelong love for literature and learning.

Aaya

3+ Years Tutoring

As a former IB student, my love for knowledge runs deep. I majored in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, graduating in December 2015 with honors (BME honors and Science and Technology Honors program) and going on to earn a Master's degree in Management Information Systems from the same university in 2019. I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the University of Illinois at Chicago and hope to start a career in data science and analytics. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and tutored throughout high school and college; I love seeing the light flash on in a student's eyes when they finally understand something they had been struggling with or when they easily solve a problem. I have tutored both young children as well as high school and college students, in just about every subject. I particularly enjoy language tutoring; I am fluent in Arabic and French and I love literature and poetry. I also love to tutor math and science subjects. My tutoring style is very much student-first; I listen and observe to determine the best approach for each individual student and what methods or strategies will be most helpful for you specifically. I am not averse to making a fool of myself with song or dance if it will help! I enjoy what I do and I want the students I work with to enjoy learning as well.

I am currently a student at Oberlin College and Conservatory. I am working towards a degree in environmental studies and dance, as well as a minor in east Asian studies. I started tutoring in high school working with elementary students learning how to read. Though I have experience teaching older students I find that I enjoy teaching elementary children the best. In my experience I have found that the best way to teach is to have the individual work it out for themselves with me guiding them in the right direction.

Geon
BS Birmingham Southern College
4+ Years Tutoring

My passion for teaching began in the middle of my high school career when I first started tutoring my peer in math. She was struggling in Pre-Calculus, and I decided to help her (obviously, not out of self-interest ). As I began my tutoring sessions, my passion for teaching began to grow since I really liked seeing my students understand and interpret difficult concepts and incorporate them as one of their own. After seeing this happen multiple times, their joy became mine, and I wanted to spread the joy of learning to other people as well. I know that learning can be difficult and hard at times, but with a friend or a mentor to guide you, it can lessen that load and make this journey more bearable and even rewarding at times. To explain a little bit about myself, I graduated from Pensacola Christian Academy and went straight into Birmingham-Southern College, which is a small liberal arts college located in the town of Birmingham, Alabama. Because of my high score on my SAT and my status as an international student, I received a full-tuition scholarship that was exclusively meant for international students, and after spending one year as a freshman, I got into a position of a Resident Advisor and basically got myself into a full-ride scholarship with no fees to worry about (scholarship paid for full tuition, my position as an RA paid for room & board, and my work-study position paid for all extra fees). After four years at BSC, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science with a physics major and a mathematics minor. I tutor all math-related subjects (arithmetic, algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, and some higher mathematics courses), but I especially enjoy teaching pre-calculus and college-level calculus since I had the most experience tutoring in those two subjects. I think my teaching philosophy is to connect with my student first, and then try to figure out what problems they are facing so that they can understand and overcome the obstacle that lies ahead. Since I know that all people think differently and in their own style, I will match my teaching style to yours, and I will do my best to work alongside you to figure out what is the best solution to solve your particular problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students across Dothan's three school districts—including Dothan City Schools, Houston County Schools, and other local systems—with personalized tutoring. With 31 schools and over 11,700 students in the area, we work with learners at every grade level and school type, helping them succeed within their specific district's curriculum and standards.

Your first session is about understanding your learning goals and building a foundation for success. A tutor will assess your current level in the subject, identify specific areas where you need support, and create a personalized plan tailored to Alabama's standards and your school's expectations. This one-on-one approach ensures every session is focused on your unique needs rather than a generic curriculum.

Tutors in Dothan are familiar with Alabama's College and Career Ready Standards and how they're taught across local schools. Whether you're working on Alabama math standards, literacy benchmarks, or science competencies, personalized instruction targets the specific skills and concepts your teacher expects—giving you focused practice where you need it most rather than generic test prep.

Students in Dothan typically seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments. With Dothan's average student-teacher ratio of 18.1:1, many students benefit from one-on-one attention in core subjects where classroom sizes can make it harder to get individualized feedback. Varsity Tutors also connects students with tutors for AP, honors courses, and college prep.

Many students see improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject and how far behind they are. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for catching students up because tutors can focus entirely on your child's gaps—no time spent on concepts they've already mastered. Starting sooner rather than later gives your child more time to build confidence and catch up before major assessments.

Yes. Varsity Tutors works with your family's schedule, whether that means sessions after school, on weekends, or during school breaks. Since Dothan students juggle school, activities, and other commitments, flexible scheduling ensures tutoring supports your life rather than complicating it. You can adjust frequency and timing based on what works best for your family.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas and experience working with students at your child's level. Many have backgrounds in education, subject matter mastery, or both. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver the personalized instruction your student needs to succeed in Dothan's schools.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor qualifications, and how frequently you'd like sessions. We work with families to find options that fit their budget, and many find that personalized tutoring is a worthwhile investment when it helps their student catch up, improve grades, or prepare for important assessments. Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss what works for your family's needs and budget.
