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 currently enrolled at the University of Missouri and think you could benefit from some additional support, Varsity Tutors can be of assistance. We can get you set up with highly qualified private Mizzou tutors who have been thoroughly vetted to ensure they have the requisite knowledge, skills, and experience to guide students through their collegiate studies. Whether you're struggling with feudalism or Faulkner, our educational consultants can match you with a tutor who is well-prepared to answer your most complicated questions.
How can a college tutor near me at the University of Missouri help me with my classes?
At the very start, your Mizzou tutor can outline an individualized learning plan to guide your sessions. They can learn more about you, your schedule, the associated syllabi, where you're struggling, and what your aim is. They can work with you to develop SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely) goals that then become a roadmap for the work ahead. They can frame how you work during your sessions, facilitate accountability, help measure your progress, serve as a reminder to celebrate small victories, and motivate you to keep pushing to the next milestone. This entire process can also be useful to you in other classes.
University of Missouri tutoring can be further customized to cater to the way you prefer to learn. For instance, if you're really struggling with a biology course and have always been a more visual learner, your instructor may rely on tactics like flashcards and written distributive learning to help improve information retention. If you've always been more of an aural learner, they might recommend things like mnemonic devices to support recall. In still other cases, they might rely on personality traits to customize their instruction. For example, if you're an athlete, they might appeal to your competitive nature by introducing timed quizzes, trying to challenge you to beat your best score or time. If you're more artistic or creative, they might try to help you with memorization by introducing the memory palace technique. This kind of highly individualized instruction can be tremendously effective.
University of Missouri tutoring can support the work you're doing in the classroom. Each time you meet, your instructor can go over your notes and takeaways from class, clarifying any points of confusion and answering questions when needed. If your professor's way of explaining an idea isn't hitting home, your instructor can try coming at it from a different angle until you find one that resonates more with you.
Your Mizzou tutor can also provide help with homework assignments. If you need help on an algebra assignment, for instance, they can review the method for solving a specific type of problem before asking you to give it a shot yourself. If you do make an error, they can correct you in the moment. This can help you finish the assignment, but more importantly, it provides a learning opportunity as you discuss what went wrong, deepening your understanding of the material and preventing mistakes from becoming bad habits.
How can the University of Missouri tutoring help me prepare for an exam?
Once an exam is on the calendar, your Mizzou tutor can help you start planning next steps. They can work with you to sort through your notes and materials before dividing them up into workable pieces and setting up a study schedule. This can decrease the anxiety that often accompanies preparing for an exam and teach healthy study practices.
As you get to the actual studying, your tutor can offer an overview of the materials. This can be a great way to jumpstarting your memory, but it can also underscore areas where you might want to do some additional studying. This lets you pivot where your attention is needed most, helping you to walk into the exam more prepared than you might have been otherwise.
Your tutor can also provide practice exams. This can be beneficial in two ways. First, it can be a good way to evaluate how the preparation process is going. Sometimes you might feel more prepared than you are, but test results are hard to argue with. Second, it gives you a chance to practice performing within time constraints. Pacing isn't always easy, and time-management skills can be important to hone. All of this work can bolster our confidence ahead of the test.
How can I sign up to work with a college tutor near me at the University of Missouri?
Our educational consultants work to match you with a tutor whose schedule matches your own. In-person tutoring is an option, but you can meet online from anywhere with internet access using the Live Learning Platform with video chat, document sharing, and the virtual whiteboard. Contact Varsity Tutors today to get started with a college tutor at the University of Missouri in as little as 24 hours!

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.
