MS Stanford University • BA Stanford University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Stanford University, where I received a BS in Cognitive Science and an MS in Computer Science. After graduation, I spent a summer in Palestine, where I taught web development, app development, and entrepreneurship to a cohort of overenthusiastic high school students; now, I've moved halfway across the country from the Bay Area to the Twin Cities. From volunteering with organizations like Twin Cities Rise and The Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute to checking out art institutions like the Walker and Mia, it's been such a wonderful time settling into this new place that I call home.

Christopher
BA Carleton College
3+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, with a Bachelor of Arts degree, having majored in mathematics. Since then, I've worked for a number of health technology companies as a business analyst, usually helping to bridge the communications gap between programming staff and end users with clear documentation and presentations. I was also a theater nerd in high school and college, and (with my wife) developed and co-taught an elementary/middle school theater program for our neighborhood school. I've been a private tutor in mathematics for a number of years, working with local families on a handful of subjects, mostly pre-calculus and calculus. My favorite part of tutoring is helping my students to see that one little insight that can unlock the whole of the subject or lesson, and helping them pick the right tool or method to get a good answer.

Nisarg
BA University of Minnesota
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm a freshman here at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I graduated from Wayzata High, and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that teaching is a responsibility and a privilege; I'll put 110% into teaching if you put the same effort into learning. With hard work and patience, anything is possible!

George
BA Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm more likely to give an answer quickly when a teacher asks a question if I have a habit of properly attuned instincts. So, if I want your confidence to grow, I need to redirect the water your instincts flow through to the proper conduits of careful thinking.

Anniessa
MS University of Minnesota-Twin Cities • BA Mcgill University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am an educator and artist with a passion for languages. I have experience teaching in both Minneapolis and Paris, and I have tutored in K-12 core subject matters - math, science, language arts, and social studies. I have my Master's of Education from the University of Minnesota in Second Languages and Cultures with a narrow focus on English as a Second Language. I am fluent in French and have an intermediate level in Spanish and Arabic. My main goals when working with students is to meet them where they are at in their learning, as well as use creative ways to make knowledge accessible. When I'm not teaching, I am spending time outside, reading up and working on anti-oppression, and watching movies. I am also a novice herbalist and astrologer, and hope to dedicate more time in learning about our plan(t)cestors and how they help with healing.

Adam
BA Boston College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a class of 2015 graduate of Boston College. I have been brought to the world of tutoring because of my desire to help students through the stressful time of taking those big scary standardized tests. Both the ACT and the SAT gave me a large amount of anxiety when I was a junior in high school and I want to help other students through this process. This desire brought me to tutor kids in the local Boston high schools while I was in college and now I have taken my talents to the Twin Cities.

Reed
Undergraduate Degree Carleton College
2+ Years Tutoring

Hi my name is Reed and I am a graduate from Carleton College with a degree in Economics. I have a passion for helping students learn and achieve their academic and personal goals. At Carleton, I played Varsity Soccer, hosted a radio show, and served as an economics prefect/TA for introductory microeconomics classes. In this role, I both held classroom sessions and tutored students individually. It was rewarding to see the results of my efforts and the impact I could have on other students. I am at an expert level in many math and economics areas. The key to my process is helping you not just 'get the answer' but also understanding the process of how to get there. I want to help students of all ages and make them think and have fun while learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Minneapolis's 182 schools and 34 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Minneapolis Public Schools campus, a charter school, or a private institution, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support aligned with what they're learning in the classroom.

Minneapolis students seek tutoring across a range of subjects, with math and reading comprehension being the most common areas where additional support makes the biggest impact. We also work with many students preparing for standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, as well as those needing help with Minnesota-specific academic standards and Advanced Placement courses. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in whatever subject your student needs help mastering.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1 in Minneapolis schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that addresses their specific learning gaps. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's individual needs, learning pace, and questions—something that's difficult for teachers to provide in a classroom setting. This targeted approach helps students move from struggling with concepts to mastering them.

Your student's first session is designed as a getting-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about their current level, specific challenges, and learning goals. The tutor will assess what's working and what needs improvement, then create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures that all future sessions are targeted and effective for your student's unique needs.

Tutors working with Minneapolis students are familiar with Minnesota's academic standards and graduation requirements, allowing them to provide instruction that directly supports classroom learning. Whether your student is working toward proficiency in reading, math, science, or social studies, personalized tutoring helps them master the specific skills and content outlined in Minnesota's standards. This alignment means tutoring reinforces and accelerates what students are already learning in school.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects Minneapolis students with tutors experienced in ACT and SAT preparation, as well as AP exam review. Tutors tailor test prep to your student's current score level and target score, focusing on the specific areas where they need the most improvement. Many Minneapolis students benefit from starting test prep several months before exam day to build confidence and skills systematically.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing based on the tutor's expertise, your student's needs, and the frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget, whether that's weekly sessions or more intensive support during key academic periods. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific situation.

We take time to match your student with a tutor who has the right expertise for their subject, understands their learning style, and can build a strong working relationship. Our matching process considers factors like the tutor's background, teaching approach, and experience with students like yours. If a tutor isn't the right fit, we'll work to find someone who is.
