Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Quinn

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from all five Leawood schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends one of the elementary schools, middle school, or high school in the district, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and Kansas academic standards.

While Leawood's 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio is strong, personalized 1-on-1 instruction offers something classroom learning can't—complete customization to your student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps. A tutor can focus entirely on your student's needs without managing a full classroom, which is especially valuable for students working toward advanced placement, test preparation, or catching up in a particular subject.

Tutors working with Leawood students are familiar with Kansas standards and the Leawood school district's curriculum expectations. They can target specific skills outlined in Kansas standards, whether that's literacy benchmarks in elementary grades, math proficiency in middle school, or college-readiness standards in high school—ensuring your student is building exactly what they need to succeed.

During the first session, the tutor and student get to know each other and identify specific learning goals—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for an exam, or building confidence in a challenging subject. The tutor will assess your student's current level and learning style to create a personalized plan for future sessions.

That depends on your student's needs. Many students work with one tutor across related subjects (like math and algebra), while others prefer specialists for different areas. Varsity Tutors can match your student with one tutor or multiple tutors based on what works best for your family—there's no one-size-fits-all approach.

Scheduling is highly flexible and designed around your family's needs. Whether your student needs sessions during the school week, on weekends, or during school breaks, Varsity Tutors works to find a tutor whose availability matches your schedule.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. There's no enrollment fee or long-term contract—you can start with as few sessions as you need. Contact Varsity Tutors for a personalized quote based on your student's specific tutoring needs.

Parents play an important role. You'll receive updates on your student's progress, and many tutors communicate regularly about what's working and where additional practice might help. You can also share specific concerns or goals with the tutor to ensure the sessions stay focused on what matters most to your family.
