All Portland tutors possess the highest qualifications. In addition to completing a rigorous interview process, tutors in Portland, OR must pass a background check and have academic credentials verified.

How much will I pay to meet with a private tutor in Providence?
Since Varsity Tutors finds you a private teacher in Providence who's got the right combination of skills and knowledge for your or your student's specific needs, the cost of tutoring will vary. There are a variety of factors that affect your final price, such as your academic goals and the level of the subject you're studying.
For example, scheduling biweekly tutoring for your kindergartner who's attending a school like the Hope Academy may cost less than meeting your own tutor twice weekly for intense review of upper-level computer science concepts you're learning at a college such as Brown University. While tutoring is most often thought of as a one-on-one experience, many private instructors also offer group sessions. These are especially beneficial for classmates wishing to review together or to enhance instruction in homeschooling learning pods. Small group sessions with a Providence tutor provide you with the opportunity to share the cost with other families too, and our live online courses are another great way to supplement tutoring in a cost-effective way.
No matter what style of tutoring you decide is right for you, private instruction can make a real difference in your academic performance. Studies indicate that students at all levels can benefit from the additional attention provided by an expert instructor. For a detailed quote, sign up online or reach out by phone. Our Educational Directors will be happy to help you decide which options are right for you.

High-achieving students can also benefit from studying with an instructor who can give them more in-depth information on topics they find particularly interesting or help to guide them as they move ahead of their class.
What kinds of tutoring can help my child in Providence?
The tutoring that will best serve your child's needs is completely dependent upon the way they prefer to learn, and each option provides different benefits. One-on-one sessions give your student focused, personalized attention from an expert.
Private tutoring allows for complete customization of a learning plan that leverages a student's strengths and learning style to build a more complete understanding of the subject at hand, whether your student is enrolled in an algebra class at a school like AF Providence Mayoral Middle School or you're majoring in Product Design at RISD. If your student is preparing for college entrance exams such as the LSAT, ACT, SAT, or MCAT, we will connect you with a test prep tutor who specializes in that exam. If you're preparing for a professional certification exam like the NCLEX or Praxis, we've got you covered there too. In addition to private test prep tutoring, we also offer live online group test prep courses.
Providence tutors can also serve as a valuable resource for homeschooled students. Whether your child is fully or partially homeschooled, working with an expert teacher can enhance your own lessons and provide additional help with higher-level subjects. We are committed to making sessions with a tutor in Providence accessible for all students, so our Live Learning Platform makes it convenient to attend sessions from wherever you are.

How are the qualifications of tutors in Providence assessed?
At Varsity Tutors, we use an exceptionally thorough vetting process for potential tutors, and our standards are very high. This means that very few candidates are selected, so you can trust that you're working with the best tutors available.
One of the most unique and important aspects of tutoring is receiving customized lessons from an expert. Through multiple interviews and tutoring simulations, we assess each tutor's ability to create lesson plans that address a student's individual needs - and their capacity to keep the plan flexible in order to let students learn at their own pace. We choose instructors who have exceptional teaching and communication skills who can not only pinpoint the source of a challenge but also help you understand the reasoning behind the concept.
