Jeanette

Elementary School Reading Tutor • +15 Subjects

I love to help students pursue their unknown potentials! I believe that a strong education is vital for the future of our youth. Communicating effectively, verbally and in written form, increases confidence and a desire to succeed. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at the University of Akron, Akron, Ohio. At the time, I pursued that degree because of my interest in observing and interacting with people in all cultures. I have traveled to several countries exploring cultures, including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Thailand, Great Britain, Spain, Italy and France. I have worked as a substitute teacher, a paraprofessional with Special Education students, and most recently as an ESL online teacher. I love interacting with youth. I am flexible, adaptable, and believe that learning can be fun. Over the years, I have accumulated quite a variety of teaching techniques and props to facilitate tutoring. Establishing a rapport with my students is important. This means that I am an active listener when I interact with my students. My students know that I care about them, their learning challenges, and their interests. My favorite subjects to tutor and teach are the language arts, including reading, writing, speaking and listening. In my spare time, I enjoy jigsaw puzzles, my pets (dog, parakeets), bird watching, Pilates, cooking/baking, reading and playing the piano.

Anastasia

ACT English Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am earning dual Bachelors of Science from Duke University and Duke Kunshan University (located in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China) in Behavioral Science-- intended to graduate in 2023. As a former Varsity Tutors student myself, I can confidently say that our services not only allow students to be proud of what they can achieve (for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are. Tutoring had a huge impact on my confidence in the classroom and other academic settings (i.e. testing, presentations, etc.) My greatest wish is to pay it forward.I am a passionate learner of developmental and abnormal psychology, with aspirations to become a clinical child psychologist in the future. I have years of volunteer and work experience as a camp counselor, lifeguard, science fair leader, babysitter, tutor, seminar leader, and child caretaker. I love to aid in the process of learning, my approach always being patient and enthusiastic.

Hannah

ACT English Tutor • +17 Subjects

I'm have bachelor's in English with a minor in history. I have taught 8th grade English and worked an elementary teacher's aid (primarily with math). I'm happy to help you in any way I can! I teach through the socratic method, asking the student questions so that he/she can discover the answer for him/herself; however, I am also very willing to guide the student thorough examples and offer advice or editing when needed. I believe that each student has the potential to understand the subjects that are challenging him/her, we just need to find the right perspective to look through!

Laila

AP Italian Language and Culture Tutor • +3 Subjects

I have been a language student myself for the longest time and until my brain stops cooperating I'll learn as many languages as I can. Sharing learning tips and teaching what is actually useful in real life are my two main goals as a tutor. I know how daunting it can be to figure out an entire language alone and learning a foreign language is all about communicating and sharing.I think of students as worlds to discover. What I have to offer to them is my knowledge and passion for my language and in exchange I get the satisfaction of helping them pursue their passions and dreams as well as the chance to share a piece of home.I have a B.A. in translation studies from Universit degli Studi di Macerata, an MBA from Universit degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi and a CEDILS certificate to teach Italian as a second language issued by Ca' Foscari University.I teach Italian grammar, vocabulary and culture as well as conversational Italian and I help students prepare for their CELI and CILS exams.I believe that to be a good teacher listening is key. Understanding my students helps me tailor classes to their needs and maintain a flexible approach along the way.In my spare time I go from being outdoorsy to a full-on homebody. I am very fond of outdoor activities when the weather is warm and I'll happily knit a sweater and read a book by the fireplace when I don't feel like facing the world.

Joe

Accompaniment Tutor • +48 Subjects

My name is Joseph, but you can call me Joe for short. I am currently Music Education major at UNH Durham. Through my program, I am teaching instrumental lessons to students in the area. This semester is my first semester teaching in public school classrooms during the school day, but I have experience working in the classroom after school as part of SAT Prep, after school program, and summer class programs. My three years of experience working in SAT/Test Prep with established test prep companies have made me a highly qualified and experienced test prep instructor. Outside of test prep, I have a love for tutoring math and writing subjects, and I'm also an experienced piano instructor. If you like energetic tutors with passion and knowledge, and if you are specifically seeking SAT preparation, I am the tutor for you!

Eric

Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am a graduate of Duke University( undergrad) where I majored in Philosophy and minored in Theater Studies. During my summers in college, I worked with EducationUSA Nairobi, an advising center for Kenyan students who wish to pursue higher education in the US. When I worked for them, I tutored high school graduates on SAT stuff and also helped them write better personal statements. After graduating from Duke last year, I started tutoring high school students in my neighborhood. I mainly taught math subjects such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, Basic Math and Problem Solving but I'm well versed in Reading and Writing subjects as well. I'm vastly experienced and very patient with all my students. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking etc.

Sami

ACT Reading Tutor • +17 Subjects

I'm an actor, singer, dancer living in New York City. Before I moved to NYC to study Musical Theater at a conservatory, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from University of California, San Diego and received a BA in Music. While at UC San Diego, I earned a minor in Theater as well as studied Marine Science and Oceanography as a hobby. I believe in looking at academia creatively and looking at the creative arts with discipline. My philosophy is study early and from all angles, so that when the test comes, there's really no need to worry. From my conservatory actor training, I also hold many centering down techniques that can assist with test anxiety. I've always enjoyed studying, making it memorable with silly mnemonic devices, fun flashcards and color codes! My favorite subjects to tutor are English, U.S. History and Music or Dramatic arts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across all four of Fort Smith's school districts, serving the area's 39 schools and 20,643 students. Whether your student attends a school in the Fort Smith School District, Mulberry School District, or another local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands the specific curriculum and standards they're working with.

Your first session is focused on understanding your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will ask about any challenges your student is facing in their classes, review their schoolwork, and develop a personalized plan tailored to their needs and your local school's expectations. This foundation helps ensure every subsequent session builds toward real progress.

Fort Smith's average student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 means many students benefit from the focused attention that 1-on-1 instruction provides. When a student is struggling to keep up in a classroom setting, personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing the tutor to work at your student's pace, address their specific misconceptions, and reinforce concepts until they truly understand them. This targeted approach is especially valuable for students preparing for state assessments or working toward grade-level proficiency.

Fort Smith students frequently seek help with math, reading comprehension, and test preparation for Arkansas state assessments. We also work with students on ACT prep, algebra, geometry, and writing skills—all critical for success in Fort Smith's schools. If your student is struggling with a specific subject or preparing for an important exam, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a tutor who specializes in that area.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. We work with families across Fort Smith to find tutoring solutions that fit different budgets. Contact us for a personalized quote, and we can discuss options that work for your family's situation.

We consider your student's grade level, subject, learning style, and specific challenges when making a match. Our tutors work with students across Fort Smith's schools and understand local curriculum standards, so they can provide instruction that directly supports what your student is learning in class. If a tutor isn't the right fit, we'll work to find a better match.

Absolutely. Tutors understand Arkansas's academic standards and can help students master the skills and content they need for their grade level and state assessments. Whether your student needs support in reading, math, science, or social studies, personalized instruction helps build the foundation they need to succeed in their Fort Smith school and beyond.

Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring times that fit their schedules. Whether your student needs sessions after school, on weekends, or at another time that works for your family, we can help coordinate a plan. Flexibility is important to us because consistent tutoring works best when it fits naturally into your student's week.
