Molly

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +41 Subjects

I am a Communications Major with a penchant for reading, writing, some math, and film! (I picked up a Cinema Studies Minor as well) I used to be an editor in a few newspapers, so I love working with others to improve their writing skills. I have tutored many areas in both high school and college and have coached softball to girls of many ages. I especially love helping students master their test-taking skills, because I understand what it was like having to navigate such a high pressure environment! Providing just a few tools can make a world of difference.

Scott

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a huge component of constant feedback. A session may be wasted if feedback is only provided in the last five minutes. For this reason, I would help students stay motivated by maintaining a conversation over the material and relating to other interesting aspects of their life. Hobbies: books, reading, writing, music, art, sports

Kim

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects

I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor.

Shannon

College Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am an undergraduate at Rice University, and my favorite subjects to tutor are math and science. I also enjoy doing test prep, and my experience comes from helping fellow students in high school. One of the most important aspects of tutoring is fitting the teaching style to each student. One method that works great for one student may not work well for another. Tutoring is all about coming up with different ways for my students to understand the material. If my student is not interested in the subject we are learning, I will try to find a way to tie in their interests and passions into the subject to better engage them. I want to be there for my students, not only as a tutor, but also as a friend. In addition to my interests in math and science (and learning in general), I enjoy swimming, biking, reading, and cooking. I also believe that fostering curiosity and determination are the keys to success. Hobbies: art, books, reading, cooking, music, swimming, writing

Toshiki

Calculus Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a science writer and podcaster with a rigorous academic background who is passionate about sharing my knowledge of chemistry with curious minds. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and Asian art history from UC Berkeley and completed a PhD in inorganic chemistry at MIT. I have five years of experience teaching college-level general and organic chemistry courses at various institutions in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and hope to expand on my experience as a private tutor. Often a required subject for other classes, chemistry is often considered "the central science" as it's related to biology and physics, and I appreciate that chemical principles can be observed throughout daily life from cooking to medicine to electronics. I believe that education is the world's greatest social equalizer and hope that my students learn to make new connections between classes and other aspects of their life. Outside of science, I love dogs, food, and the outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Garland's 73 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Garland Independent School District or nearby areas, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Texas academic standards they're working toward.

Garland students commonly seek tutoring in math, science, and English language arts—especially as they prepare for STAAR exams and transition between grade levels. We also work with students on test prep for the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses for high schoolers looking to strengthen their college applications.

With Garland's average student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that classroom instruction alone can't provide. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific learning style, pace, and areas of struggle—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.

During the first session, your tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning goals, and any challenges they're facing in their classes. This helps the tutor create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and aligned with what they're learning in Garland schools.

Absolutely. Tutors work with Garland students to build the skills and confidence needed for STAAR success in reading, math, science, and social studies. They focus on the specific Texas standards your student needs to master and use practice problems and test-taking strategies to help them perform their best.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and we're happy to discuss pricing during a consultation so you can find a plan that works for your family.

Tutors who work with Garland students are experienced professionals with expertise in their subject areas and a track record of helping students succeed. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant certifications, and understand how to support students working toward Texas standards and local school goals.

Getting started is simple—reach out to Varsity Tutors, tell us about your student's needs and goals, and we'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit. From there, you can schedule sessions that work with your family's schedule and begin seeing progress.
