Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a neuroscience and psychology double major from CU Boulder working to go to PA school down the road. I am originally from the East coast, but definitely prefer the hiking here. I was a learning assistant (basically student focused teacher aid) at CU, and took a course to learn more effective pedagogy. Afterwards, I was asked to be a mentor, and continued trying to help as much as I can.

I am currently pursuing my PhD in Literature/Creative Writing at the University of Denver. Prior to beginning my doctoral studies, I was a creative writing/English lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis where I completed my MFA and senior post-graduate teaching fellowship. I received my BA in Philosophy from Carleton College in 2009. Before my time in St. Louis and Denver, I taught English Literature at the Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut and, earlier, at Germantown High School in Philadelphia. During my time at Loomis and Germantown, I taught English Lit I/III, Contemporary Literature, 10th grade grammar and expository writing seminars, Literature of the Sea, Experimental Novel, and Creative Writing. At Wash U, I taught Fiction Writing I, II, and Microfiction, and last year I facilitated pedagogy training for Wash U MFA graduate students. I currently tutor at DU's Writing Center and, beginning this fall, I will teach undergraduate fiction classes. I have a marked interest in modern and contemporary fiction, though I very much look forward to helping students with all craft/literature/essay writing/verbal test taking endeavors. Hobbies: writing, books, music, art, reading

Tina

Calculus Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a native Mandarin speaker, and I got both MD and PhD degree from one of the top 20 universities in China. I've also passed the "national proficiency test of mandarin" when I was in college. Teaching and researching the difference between Chinese and English have always been my passion. Before "varsity tutors", I have tutored five English-speaking students from ages 6 to 20. I tailor my classes to different students' needs, and I enjoy writing my own "Chinese grammar and practice" book based on different levels. I am a super responsible and hard-working person. My goal is to help my students to learn the most with the least number of classes, and to make sure my students couldn't be more satisfied with me.

I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry as well as MCD (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental) Biology while minoring in Chemistry in 2015. I love exploring all of the cool things that this world has to offer. By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge.

Paige

Calculus Tutor • +45 Subjects

I am a licensed high school history teacher, but have worked with 2-year-olds, college undergraduates, and every age in between. I have previously tutored preschoolers through high schoolers in math and reading, and worked at a university in Santiago with Chilean undergraduates studying both English as a second language and the teaching of English. I am most passionate about teaching in the humanities, but find that working with students on any subject is fulfilling, including standardized test prep. Having lived abroad in Spain and Chile, I also know the importance of connecting classroom learning in Spanish to the actual experience of the language and am always excited to help Spanish come alive beyond conjugation worksheets. Regardless of subject, I strive to ensure that my students build the strategies and confidence they need to be capable, self-directed learners. My own interests include reading, camping and hiking, cooking, and rugby.

I am currently a Masters student in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. Previously, I had attended the Colorado School of Mines earning a bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics. I aspire to become a professor of Buddhist philosophy integrating contemplative studies with rigorous scientific and formal logics. Apart from scholastic endeavors, I spend much of my time wandering the Colorado mountains, practicing the piano, and studying the world around me.

Marcus

9th Grade math Tutor • +58 Subjects

I am a graduate of Arizona State University. I received my two Bachelors of Science degrees in Biological Sciences (Animal Physiology and Behavior) and Political Sciences with a certificate in Civic Education. Since graduating, I have started working with the Denver Math Fellows helping close the opportunity gap for high need students by providing small group math instruction. I find the most excitement in tutoring middle school math and science, Algebra I, and General Biology. I find that for most students what makes any subject hard is being unable to use what you already know and not knowing how to tackle the subject. I want to help students by giving them multiple access points and allowing them to access whatever content they desire at their current level. I believe the most important way to help students learn in is to relate content to their current interests and future goals. In my spare time, I enjoy reading non-fiction about technology and neurobiology, hiking, watching sports (mainly football and basketball) and listening to jazz and classical music.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Grand Junction's three school districts and all 45 schools in the area. With over 18,000 students in the community, we work with families throughout Mesa County who need personalized 1-on-1 instruction in subjects ranging from core academics to test prep and college readiness.

Grand Junction students most frequently seek help with math, English, and science—subjects that form the foundation for Colorado's academic standards and college preparation. We also work with many students on standardized test prep for the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses that are increasingly popular in our local high schools.

Colorado's standards emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving across all subjects, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective at building these deeper skills. Tutors work with students to master grade-level expectations in reading, writing, and math while also preparing them for Colorado's standardized assessments and college entrance requirements.

While Grand Junction schools maintain a 15.9:1 student-teacher ratio, which is reasonable, individual students often benefit from the focused attention that 1-on-1 tutoring provides. This personalized approach allows tutors to target specific learning gaps, work at a student's own pace, and build confidence in challenging subjects—something that's difficult to achieve in a classroom setting.

The first session is about building a foundation for success. The tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific challenges and goals, and develop a personalized learning plan tailored to their needs. This initial meeting helps establish a strong working relationship and sets clear expectations for how tutoring will support their academic progress.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible tutoring packages designed to fit different budgets and schedules. Whether you need help with a single subject, ongoing support throughout the school year, or intensive test prep, we can work with you to create an arrangement that makes sense for your family. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, and are familiar with Colorado's academic standards and the specific needs of students in our community. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student based on their learning style and goals.

Many students begin to show confidence and engagement improvements within the first few weeks of personalized tutoring. Academic performance gains—like improved test scores or grades—typically become visible within 4-8 weeks, depending on the subject, the student's starting point, and the frequency of sessions. Consistent, focused instruction combined with practice between sessions accelerates results.
