My life's work has been and continues to be assisting students in building confidence while exploring the wonders of language and mathematics. Whether it be Algebra, ACT preparation, or English for non-native speakers, I have enjoyed my 20+ years working with students both in the U.S. and abroad (China & India). I have tutored students as young as Pre-K, but most of my experience lies with high school, university & adult students. For those seeking assistance with the ACT, I have several years of experience tutoring all subjects - content & strategies. With the changes in the ACT last year (science optional, shorter subject tests with differing times), I decided to take the new Enhanced ACT with hundreds of high school students to gain first-hand experience with how the alterations might affect test strategy and gauge any changes in content. My split focus affected the science score most (:D), but I look forward to sharing my newly gained insights with my students.

Helping students has always felt deeply personal to me. I know what it's like to struggle with a subject and how much of a difference the right guidance can make. That's what drives me, not just to explain the material, but to meet students where they are, and help them build confidence along the way. My teaching philosophy is centered around a low-pressure, high-engagement environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. I use real-world examples, visual breakdowns, and active recall to reinforce understanding and make learning stick. I'm currently in my 4th year of medical school, so I have a certain love for Biology and other life sciences. It can be complex, but when taught the right way, it becomes incredibly intuitive and logical. I also thoroughly enjoy teaching SAT/ACT prep, as it also can be tricky for students to see through its complexity, but becomes much easier to find the objective when taught the right way, with the right tools.

I carry different techniques to make sure the students are actively engaged. Through online tutoring I will make sure that students are getting enough information. I will try my level best to give a campus based experience through online to the students. I have had a vast experience of teaching many undergraduate courses. My students vary from non-science majors to chemistry majors. The broad range of my teaching experience has improved the veracity of my lectures. I have learned the art of engaging students in the class while exposing them to the field of chemistry. The academia stands to contribute to the growth of the society through teaching.

Daniel
BA Tulane University of Louisiana
10+ Years Tutoring

I am working towards my Finance degree in the Freeman School of Business. I have tutoring experience, as I tutored students in English and Mathematics during high school. Now, I tutor K-12 Math/English, including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, and Language Arts, as well as Python, Hebrew, and Test Prep. My favorite subjects to tutor include Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Language Arts. In terms of my tutoring philosophy, I feel as though a student has not mastered a topic until he/she can effectively explain it back to me as if I am a student wanting to learn said topic. Throughout my experience tutoring and receiving tutoring, I have found that this is a very powerful way of assessing mastery of a concept.

I am a graduate of Vandebilt Catholic High School working toward my major at LSU in vocal music with a minor in digital advertising. I have been working with younger students since fourth grade. I started with in-school babysitting. Eventually, I got babysitting jobs over the summer which quickly turned into tutoring. I love helping others, and I am especially passionate about helping young people work toward their dreams! Although I am qualified to tutor many subjects, my favorites are math, English, and anything involving music. English has always been easy for me. I enjoy math because so many students can greatly improve from just a little bit of math help. Typically, students who struggle need to review the basics to understand the more complex ideas. Of course, music is my favorite above all because it is my greatest passion. I have been studying music since the second grade, and I am excited to share what I have learned with others who are passionate about it! I believe that every kid has potential. We just need to meet them where they are and figure out their learning style. With support and a little extra help, students can go far!

Neha
BA University

Hello! My name is Neha Mothilal, and I am a rising second-year Honors student at the University of Florida majoring in Health Science on the pre-medicine track. I have a strong passion for education, communication, and the medical sciences, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. Through competitive academic programs, tutoring, and leadership experiences, I have learned how to explain complex concepts in ways that are engaging and easy to understand. Throughout my childhood, I competed in various spelling bees, including the Scripps National Spelling Bee, where I developed a deep appreciation for language, word origins, and effective communication. Later, I discovered HOSA's Medical Spelling competition, which perfectly combined my love for orthography with my growing passion for science and healthcare. I spent countless hours studying Taber's Medical Dictionary and organizing medical terminology into detailed study systems, further strengthening both my academic discipline and interest in medicine. My tutoring experience began with helping younger students prepare for spelling competitions before expanding into tutoring English and Math through Kumon. Working with students of different ages and learning styles helped me discover my passion for teaching and mentorship. I especially enjoy helping students build confidence and develop a stronger understanding of challenging material. As a tutor, my goal is to create a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. I believe every student learns differently, and I always strive to adapt my teaching style to each student's individual needs while ensuring they fully understand concepts before moving forward.

I received my MS in math from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and my BS in math from Augusta University. I was pursuing a PhD in math at UTK so I have 5 years of teaching experience on top of 4 years of tutoring experience in undergrad. I love helping students one-on-one and that's why I tutored middle and high schoolers privately while also working at the math lab at AU tutoring adults. I tutor any math class from middle school to undergraduate, and I also excel with test prep (SAT, GRE, etc.). My approach to tutoring is helping students understand not only how you complete a problem but why we complete the problem that way; I also try to instill academic confidence in my students.

2+ Years Tutoring

Hello! I recently graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts from Sarah Lawrence College. I have a passion for reading, writing, and film and I am currently taking an online graduate course in TV writing with UCLA. The subjects I tutor in include essay editing, writing, and reading comprehension (i.e. anything pertaining to writing and english.) My tutoring style is collaboration based and tailored to each student's individual learning style. I have first hand experience with how frustrating it can be to get lost in a classroom and feel like you're falling behind, because you don't learn or retain information the same way as your peers, so I find it's the most beneficial to understand each student's relationship with the subject material and developing a plan from there, opposed to instilling a generalized "one size fits all" agenda.

I received my B.S. in Biology from Rhodes College, my M.S. in Biology from Alabama in Birmingham, and a PhD in Anatomy and Physiology from Duke University. My teaching over the last few years has focused on Histology (MicroAnatomy) and Physiology. Teaching modern histology and physiology requires a strong understanding of cell and molecular biology, and I incorporate these areas into my current teaching. I have also taught Genetics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, and Introductory Biology. During my 25 years at the University of Puget Sound, I continually served on our Health Professions Advising Committee, and was chair of this committee for three years. We advised students in all aspects of their applications for professional schools in diverse areas of health care professions, such as medical and dental school, among other professional health-related graduate programs. As chair of the committee I was solely responsible for writing committee letters for all of our students who applied through our committee. As a science educator, I serve my students, and do my utmost to provide them with a modern education in biology. I sincerely love teaching, which for me includes preparation through literature research, and organization and delivery of the best information. I enjoy all aspects of teaching, but most especially the reward of seeing my students learn, and secondarily, my learning of my field and pedagogy, through my efforts as a teacher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Lafayette's 38 schools and 5 school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Lafayette Parish School System, Acadian Charter Schools, or another local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic needs.

Tutors work directly with your student's coursework and Louisiana's academic standards, whether that's mastering grade-level math concepts, building reading comprehension skills, or preparing for state assessments. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target exactly where your student is struggling and build confidence in the specific areas your school emphasizes.

While Lafayette's average student-teacher ratio of 19.2:1 is reasonable, it still means individual students can get lost in the shuffle, especially in subjects like math or writing where personalized feedback matters most. One-on-one tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated attention to work through challenging concepts at their own pace, something that's difficult to achieve in a classroom setting.

The tutor will start by understanding your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades in a particular class, preparing for a state test, or building foundational skills. They'll assess what's working and what isn't, then create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and Lafayette's local curriculum.

Math and English are the most common subjects, especially as students progress through middle and high school where concepts become more abstract. Science, Louisiana History, test prep (for ACT and state assessments), and foreign languages are also popular. Whatever subject your student needs support in, Varsity Tutors can connect you with an expert tutor.

Tutors are experienced educators and subject matter experts who understand how to teach effectively one-on-one. They're familiar with Louisiana's curriculum standards and know how to explain concepts in ways that click for different learners. All tutors go through a vetting process to ensure they can deliver quality instruction for students in Lafayette.

Tutoring schedules work around your family's life—whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during summer break. You can adjust frequency and timing based on what works best, whether that's weekly sessions or intensive help before a big test or assignment deadline.

Contact Varsity Tutors and let us know your student's grade level, subject, and what they need help with. We'll match them with a tutor who fits their learning style and academic goals, and you can start personalized instruction right away. Most families see their student more engaged and confident within the first few sessions.
