I am reliving the process of learning that concept myself, both by explaining the concept in new ways and by seeing students wrestle with and eventually grasp the concept for themselves. For me, teaching is a way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more.

I am entirely committed to ensuring every one of my students break through the barriers preventing them from reaching their full potential. My process involves an individual, connected explanation of the content, discussing problem-solving strategies to make testing much easier than it seems, encouraging practice and the growth of individual learning, and making sure my style of teaching is right for my student's style of learning. Most importantly, I seek to make my students love learning as much as I do.
Cameron
Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects
I am a graduate of Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts degree in English Literature. During my time at Kansas State, I worked as a student tutor on subjects ranging from geology to French, and while pursuing my Master's degree, I taught Expository Writing to college students. While I am experienced with Writing and Language tutoring and enjoy teaching both, I am primarily a standardized test tutor with Varsity Tutors. Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by far my favorite subject to tutor. I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in order to understand the most effective means for that student to progress, and for this reason, I place the utmost importance on the student rather than the subject. When I am not tutoring or substitute teaching, I enjoy playing guitar, watching football and writing fiction.

I am a highly motivated individual committed to giving my all each and every day. I love working with kids. I am enthusiastic about education and learning. I love to empower others and help them to reach their greatest potential. I am patient and driven, and I firmly believe that all students are capable of learning. I value personal interaction and relationships. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing outside, watching movies, playing card games and board games, and spending time with family and friends.

Eamon
Calculus Tutor • +26 Subjects
I'm an oldest child, which means growing up, I was the first kid to run into most challenges, and the best equipped one to teach my five younger siblings how to navigate them. Working with them and mentoring them was probably my first experience with "tutoring", and it left strong impressions on me. To help someone is to treat them like your family.
Megan

I am a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Political Science and minoring in French. I am qualified to tutor for many AP Courses (U.S. Government, U.S. History, and French Language) in addition to ACT and further language and English tutoring. I am not far removed from these courses and tests and am therefore able to help students uniquely as I remember being in there situations. Hobbies: art, books, reading, music, writing, singing

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across all four of Topeka's school districts—Topeka Public Schools, Shawnee Heights, Seaman, and Silver Lake. With 52 schools serving over 22,000 students in the area, we work with learners from elementary through high school, regardless of which district they attend.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction targets the specific gaps preventing students from mastering Kansas standards in math, reading, science, and social studies. Tutors work directly with each student's learning pace and style, which research shows is significantly more effective than classroom instruction alone for closing achievement gaps and building mastery of state-level benchmarks.
Topeka students most frequently seek tutoring in algebra, geometry, and standardized test preparation (ACT and SAT), followed by reading comprehension and writing skills. Given Topeka's diverse student population across multiple districts, personalized instruction helps address individual learning challenges that may not be fully addressed in larger classroom settings with an average student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1.
The first session focuses on understanding your student's strengths, challenges, and learning goals. The tutor will assess current skill levels, identify specific areas needing support, and develop a personalized plan aligned with what your student is learning in their Topeka school. This foundation ensures every subsequent session builds directly toward measurable progress.
Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects Topeka high school students with tutors experienced in ACT preparation, including test-taking strategies, content review, and practice testing with detailed feedback. Personalized ACT tutoring allows students to focus on their specific weak areas—whether that's math, English, reading, or science—rather than spending time on skills they've already mastered.
Personalized reading tutoring uses targeted strategies like phonics review, guided reading practice, and comprehension skill-building tailored to your student's specific reading level and interests. Working one-on-one with a tutor who can adjust pacing and materials daily helps students build confidence and make faster progress than they might in a traditional classroom where teachers manage many different reading levels simultaneously.
Varsity Tutors offers flexible tutoring packages designed to fit different budgets and schedules. Whether you need weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or occasional homework help, you can customize frequency and duration. We recommend discussing your specific needs and budget when you connect with us—we'll help you find a package that works for your family.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Tutors understand how to teach to different learning styles and can align their instruction with Kansas standards and what students are learning in their specific Topeka schools, ensuring instruction is relevant and immediately applicable.
