Wilmette families already know their schools deliver — with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 across 14 schools and three districts, the classroom foundation is strong. But when it comes to IAR benchmarks, selective high school entrance exams, and the rigor of AP coursework, the students who stand out are the ones who go deeper than the classroom alone can take them.
A first session with a tutor through Varsity Tutors starts with a real assessment — reviewing current coursework, identifying goals, and building a personalized plan from day one. Tutors are matched based on familiarity with Illinois State Standards and your student's specific curriculum, whether the focus is math, writing, ACT/SAT prep, or advanced coursework. Scheduling flexes around busy school and activity calendars, so momentum stays consistent.

Jacob
Calculus Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am eager to help students thrive because I'm still very much a student myself, and will be for the foreseeable future. Though I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.
Karishma
Calculus Tutor • +32 Subjects
I am very dedicated to helping students excel in school and in helping them develop study methods and styles that work best for them and that will serve them throughout school. I previously tutored with Boys Hope Girls Hope in Evanston, IL. I tutored middle and high school students in Spanish and English, and I was able to help them develop study strategies such as using flashcards or translating a sentence they had spoken aloud that day in their heads for extra language practice. I am very excited to be able to tutor again and to work with students. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a previously struggling student excel and to have helped them improve along the way. Hobbies: reading, music, running, art, books, dancing, writing
Rebecca
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am a graduate of Northwestern University where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Religious Studies. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in social work at the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration. I am passionate about tutoring because I want everyone to be able to perform academically at their highest possible level. I also think it is important that learning is not just for one assignment or one test, but rather that it sticks with you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each person's particular learning style. Outside of academic interests, I enjoy cooking, being with friends and family, traveling the world, and looking as ridiculous as possible doing Zumba.

I am an incoming freshman at Northwestern University, and I will be studying economics and international studies. I have lots of experience in mentoring students individually and teaching in the classroom through being a student intern for a sophomore honors English class. I love working with students who are preparing for tests or college admissions because it gives me an opportunity to impart my knowledge of the college application process to others and empathize with them on all their concerns. I believe that education and critical thinking are key to expanding your horizons and achieving your goals in life. Hobbies: reading, writing, books, music, art

I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2016 with a B.A. in English and Theatre. I then got my M.S.Ed from Northwestern. I have worked with children of all ages in various capacities, including teaching, and I find that the best way for students to learn is to have fun and engage them.

I am a current law student at Washington University in St. Louis and also graduated summa cum laude from their undergraduate program in 2014. I have dual citizenship with the US and Chile, and my hispanic roots have always been very important to me. I grew up speaking Spanish but have also dedicated a significant portion of my academic studies to Spanish language and literature as well. I am passionate about helping others reach their goals and take pride in helping make the Spanish language and various Spanish-speaking cultures more accessible to anyone willing to learn.

I am eager to help students wrestle with and master concepts in their math and physics classes. I have extensive experience tutoring students in both math and physics at the high school and college level in one on one and larger group settings. During my PhD I was awarded a teaching fellowship which allowed me to continue teaching while I continued to perform research and carry out my dissertation work.
Margot
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a student at Boston College studying Economics and English. I have an excellent academic record, haven taken 14 AP courses throughout high school, and have preformed well on many standardized exams. I strive to help other students to do the same! I have three years of experience tutoring peers at high school, college, and privately, primarily in English, Math, and SAT prep. Though I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students conquer Standardized Tests (specifically the reading and writing sections) and English. I want to help students excel on Standardized Exams so they can pursue their higher education goals. I direct my tutoring towards identifying students' learning methods and catering to those to establish continued engagement in doing so, I hope to foster a love of learning similar to mine. Outside of tutoring and school, I enjoy reading and believe that reading consistently is the key to succeeding in writing and preforming well on Standardized Exams. My love for creative writing has also led me to draft a novel which I am continuing to edit, and as an Assistant Director of the Campus Activities Board at Boston College I plan live music-focused events to engage students on campus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Wilmette's 14 schools and all 3 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in District 39, District 60, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic expectations in Wilmette.
Wilmette students most frequently seek tutoring in math, reading comprehension, and standardized test prep—particularly as they prepare for Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) testing and entrance exams for competitive high schools. We also see strong demand for writing support and advanced placement courses as students progress through middle and high school.
While Wilmette's average student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 is excellent, even in well-resourced classrooms, students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific learning style and pace. Tutoring complements classroom learning by providing targeted support for individual gaps, advanced enrichment, or test preparation that goes beyond what's possible in a group setting.
During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific academic goals, and identify areas where they need the most support. This might involve reviewing recent schoolwork, discussing challenges with particular concepts, or understanding their learning style—all to create a personalized plan for future sessions.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who are familiar with Illinois State Standards and the specific benchmarks your student needs to master at their grade level. Whether it's meeting IAR expectations, preparing for high school entrance exams, or strengthening foundational skills, tutors work with your student's curriculum to ensure they're progressing toward district and state goals.
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in preparing for standardized tests including the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR), ACT, SAT, and entrance exams for selective high schools. Tutors work with your student to build test-taking strategies, strengthen content knowledge, and boost confidence before exam day.
Varsity Tutors understands that Wilmette students juggle academics, extracurriculars, and family commitments. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your student's availability—whether that's after school, on weekends, or during breaks—with personalized instruction that fits your family's needs.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors works with families to find options that fit their budget. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your student's needs and get pricing information tailored to your situation.
