I'm now living in New York City pursuing a career in casting and producing theater. Although I have found my passion in the arts, I find great fulfillment tutoring math and science, because I think it's important for students to know they can succeed in these challenging subjects. I seek to develop an individual learning plan for each student, discovering the tools that will best help them succeed. My previous private tutoring clients have gone on to graduate at the top of their class. In addition, I am also an experienced SAT and ACT prep tutor.

Aaron
PhD The Texas A&M University System Office • BA Missouri University of Science and Technology
10+ Years Tutoring

I am attending a lecture about The Great Gatsby, I will be eager if the speaker tells of the beauty she sees, rather than a quick and dirty type of analysis. I regularly talk to people who admit math wasn't their favorite subject in school. Some were self-conscious. Some had gaps they never filled. Some just didn't care. Whatever the case, I admit to them that math is my favorite art form with as much room for expression as sculpting or jazz. I claim that mathematicians are half artists, half observers of fine art. My conversants often tell me it is an epiphany for them to think of math as such, and that it helps heal their math wound. A marvelous way I have found to unveil beauty in the classroom is by using surprise. I like to present ideas from a simple perspective, discuss them briefly, then release a theorem. Thales' theorem (the diameter of a circle subtends a right angle to any point on the circumference) is a great example, especially with the aid of Java applets. After playing a bit with triangles by moving points around in a worksheet, it's surprising to be able to connect two structures as basic as a right triangle and a diameter. Next in importance to marveling at beauty, I want students to learn to think critically to solve problems. Understandably, some students have never had guidance past high school drills. All the more, problem solving should be emphasized and revisited throughout college curriculum. I have many years of experience in problem solving competitions and a collection of principles regarding problem solving that I like to follow. One is about inverse problems. Consider the following: if baseball cards are five cents apiece and shipping costs fifty cents, how many cards will one dollar buy? After making the arithmetic clear, students had better know how to calculate the forward problem, i.e. "How much will x number of cards cost?" I'm depending on them knowing the forward problem because we covered it last week, but it is important to bring it out in more than just a mention so the students have a comfortable base to start. It's like revisiting rational numbers before diving into irrationals. They are intrinsically tied, and it gives the class confidence to start with old material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Madison's 6 school districts serve over 25,000 students across 87 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in Madison Metropolitan, Verona Area, Middleton-Cross Plains, Sun Prairie, Waunakee, or Oregon, tutors can support them with curriculum-aligned help and test preparation.

Tutors work with Wisconsin's academic standards and help students build mastery in core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies. With personalized instruction tailored to your student's learning pace, they can strengthen foundational skills, close knowledge gaps, and develop confidence in areas where they're struggling—all aligned with what Madison schools expect.

Madison students most commonly seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and standardized test preparation like the ACT. Science and foreign language support are also popular, particularly as students advance through middle and high school. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in whatever subject they need.

The first session is focused on understanding your student's goals, current challenges, and learning style. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, identify specific areas for improvement, and create a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure that every session after that is targeted and effective for your student's needs.

While Madison's student-teacher ratio is solid, classroom instruction still needs to move at a pace that works for the whole group. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving your student undivided attention, allowing tutors to slow down on difficult concepts, adjust explanations to match how your student learns best, and move faster through material they've already mastered.

ACT preparation requires targeted practice, strategy coaching, and personalized feedback—all things that tutors excel at. Tutors help Madison students understand the test format, identify their weak areas (whether it's math reasoning, reading comprehension, or science), and develop a study plan that fits their timeline. Many students see meaningful score improvements with consistent, focused preparation.

The timeline depends on the size of the gap and how frequently your student meets with a tutor. Many students see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent sessions, though deeper skill-building takes longer. The key is regular practice combined with personalized instruction—tutors help identify exactly what's missing and create a focused plan to address it.

Start by telling us about your student's needs—the subject, grade level, and specific challenges they're facing. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who has expertise in that area and understands how to work with students in Madison schools. You'll have flexibility to schedule sessions that fit your family's calendar and your student's learning goals.
