When I was a student, I totally misunderstood the teaching position. From my perspective, teachers simply appeared at 7:40, at the strike of a bell, and disappeared at 3:00, with a strike of the same bell. These automatons materialized purely for pedagogical purposes, then evaporated when their time...

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge...

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are Rhodes College alumni and current students. These tutors bring firsthand knowledge of Rhodes' rigorous academic environment and can provide insights into what it takes to succeed at the college level. Whether you're a current Rhodes student seeking support or a prospective student preparing for admission, learning from someone who's navigated Rhodes' curriculum can be invaluable.

Tutors who work with Varsity Tutors and have attended Rhodes College have already demonstrated strong academic achievement in a highly selective liberal arts environment. Many hold degrees in their subject areas or have advanced training. Beyond academic credentials, these tutors understand Rhodes' emphasis on critical thinking, close reading, and analytical writing—skills they can help you develop across subjects like English, history, sciences, and more.

A tutor who graduated from Rhodes understands both the content and the learning culture that emphasizes intellectual curiosity and rigorous discussion. They can share study strategies that worked in Rhodes' demanding coursework, help you think through complex problems the way professors expect, and guide you toward deeper understanding rather than just answers. This insider perspective translates into more effective, targeted tutoring tailored to your actual learning needs.

Rhodes tutors excel across the full range of liberal arts disciplines, including English and writing, history, sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), mathematics, foreign languages, and more. Because Rhodes emphasizes breadth alongside depth, many of these tutors have strong foundational knowledge across multiple subjects and can connect ideas between disciplines—a perspective that enriches their teaching.

Absolutely. Rhodes alumni understand what the admissions process looks for and can help you strengthen your academic foundation before applying. They can tutor you in core subjects, help you develop strong writing skills for essays, and prepare you for standardized tests—all while sharing what Rhodes values in its students and what the academic experience is actually like.

Current Rhodes students benefit from tutors who've recently completed the same courses and understand Rhodes' specific teaching style and expectations. Whether you need help with organic chemistry, literary analysis, foreign language conversation, or research writing, connecting with a tutor who knows Rhodes' standards and culture can help you keep pace with coursework and deepen your understanding of challenging material.

Tell us what subject you need help with and a bit about your goals. Varsity Tutors will connect you with a tutor who has Rhodes College experience and expertise in that area. You'll work together through personalized 1-on-1 instruction designed around your specific needs, whether that's exam prep, coursework support, or building foundational skills.
