100% Tutor Satisfaction Guarantee
At Varsity Tutors, we're committed to connecting you to top tutors capable of delivering an outstanding experience. That's why we provide a 100% tutor satisfaction guarantee.
If you're a University of Kentucky student searching for a way to get some extra academic support, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a University of Kentucky tutor. These private instructors are highly-qualified professionals, and you can be confident that we'll match you with a tutor who has a background in the subject that you're struggling with. Whether you're experiencing difficulties in art history, physics, English composition, or any other college subject, we can find a tutor who has the academic knowledge to assist you and the teaching skills necessary to make these complex topics easier to understand.
What can a college tutor near me at the University of Kentucky do to help me academically?
The leap from high school classes to college classes can be a shock to some. It's likely that you've never been so rigorously challenged by your schoolwork, and your trouble can be amplified by the fact that it's often difficult to know where to go for help in a university environment. Raising questions during lectures or discussion sections can clear up some misunderstandings, but professors only have so much time to spare, and if you're struggling with your professor's instructional style then even one-on-one meetings during office hours may prove to be unhelpful. Fortunately, you can turn to University of Kentucky tutoring for assistance.
Private instruction can be one of the most powerful tools you have when combatting academic difficulties. A University of Kentucky tutor can meet with you, discuss the difficulties you're having and your academic goals, and put together an individualized study plan that aims to get you back on track. A personalized curriculum means that your mentor can focus on the specific concepts that you need to address and use teaching methods that are targeted at your individual learning preferences.
Can University of Kentucky tutoring help me with test prep, too?
Whether it's midterms, finals, or even just an end-of-unit exam, testing can be one of the most stressful parts of a college student's life. However, the lead-up to an exam can be just as nerve wracking. You may find yourself wondering what course materials you need to focus on and about how to best use your limited study time. You may feel uncertain about how to even begin preparing. A University of Kentucky tutor can turn an expert eye to your current test prep dilemma and help you sort out a solution. They can help you review key course concepts, and can approach difficult materials in a variety of ways. This can get you out of academic ruts you're stuck in. If you're a visually oriented student having trouble with a literature class, for example, your mentor can teach you how to mark up your books with color-coded organizational techniques or create visual diagrams of the outlines of novels. Or, if you're an aural learner having trouble with physics concepts like radioactive decay, your instructor can talk through these subjects with you using discussion-based teaching methods so you can approach the material in a way that makes sense to you.
While the main goal of tutoring is to get you up to speed in regards to your coursework, there can be other benefits too. Your mentor can aid you in developing better study habits, teach you note-taking techniques, and suggest methods for managing test-taking anxiety or time-management issues. Skills like these can continue to prove useful long after you've completed your current load of courses.
How can I meet with a college tutor near me at the University of Kentucky?
Varsity Tutors knows that college students often lead harried, busy lives, and that it can be a challenge to squeeze private instruction into a schedule already loaded with academic obligations and personal commitments. However, we also know how beneficial tutoring can be for university students, so we've taken measures to make sure that getting the instruction you need is simple and easy. Instruction is available both online and in person, so you'll have options available when signing up. Online tutoring can be particularly useful to students who have limited availability, as it doesn't require you to commute back and forth across town in order to meet with a college tutor at University of Kentucky. As long as you have a connection to the internet and a compatible device, you can work from your dorm room, a campus cafe, the library, or anywhere else that you find comfortable.
Online instruction is provided thanks to our Live Learning Platform. This set of online utilities can make online study feel personal and interactive in the same way that an in-person meeting would be. Video chat allows you to see and speak with your mentor, and a variety of tools - a virtual whiteboard, a shared document editor, and a session recorder for repeat viewings of your lessons, to name a few - can give you access to all the resources you'll need to work with your instructor.
Reach out to Varsity Tutors today to sign up for University of Kentucky tutoring. You can give us a call or contact us online; in either case, our educational consultants will be happy to assist you. We can get you set up with a private instructor in as little as 24 hours, so why wait? Get started now.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
1. Wrote entire homily for Speech class. He paralleled some gospel story to the story of King Arthur. Only the hard copy is due the next day but the student doesn't have speech class (he has Spanish instead) that day.
2. Brought a green folder with brads and pockets. Supervised while the student made the dividers and then checked his Lit binder for all rough drafts that were supposed to be in there.
3. Study pack, Social Studies (most of it was done - he had left only a page's worth of the more reading-intensive work to do).

Today the student and I started with Chemistry and ended with Algebra 2. We did a 2 page worksheet on writing empirical formulas of compounds given a percent composition of the elements present. We then went on to work on his math assignment for the weekend, looking at the transformation of functions when multiplied by a coefficient or translated up/down or right/left. The student understood all of this very well and did many problems on his own. Overall a great session with much improvement and understanding.
