BA Washington University in St. Louis
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a senior at Washington University in St. Louis and will be attending law school next year. My areas of expertise are Political Science and Government, History, Writing, and ACT prep. I teach a weekly course to underserved youth for ACT prep and have done well personally on both the ACT and the LSAT. My philosophy is to guide you in your search to find the correct answers - not to give them to you. I am extremely goal-oriented, and I look forward to helping you achieve yours.

Jeffrey
BA University of Notre Dame • Doctor of Philosophy, Mechanical Engineering Rice University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Evelyn
Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine University of Missouri-Kansas City
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a medical student currently attending the 6 year BA/MD program at UMKC. My interest in both the sciences and the humanities has led me to pursue a career in medicine. My favorite subjects to learn and teach include English reading and writing, Mandarin, math, and biology. I am especially passionate about teaching English reading and writing because as someone who personally went through the process of learning English from scratch, I deeply understand the challenges involved in honing one's language skills. I hope to use the lessons I have learned from my experience to help others who are working on improving their reading and writing skills, no matter how far they are along the process. I am patient, persistent, supportive, receptive to feedback, and I always strive to adapt my tutoring style to work with each student's unique needs and expectations.

BA Princeton University
15+ Years Tutoring

I am reliving the process of learning that concept myself, both by explaining the concept in new ways and by seeing students wrestle with and eventually grasp the concept for themselves. For me, teaching is a way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more.

Chad
BA Dartmouth College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am Chad Bergman, a current Dartmouth student pursuing my Bachelor's in Economics with a physics minor. I have experience tutoring college economics in person on Dartmouth campus as well as online tutoring in high school calculus and physics. I've had great success on the SAT and ACT as well as my AP tests in high school, and I hope to help others succeed as well. My favorite subject to tutor is physics because I feel like learning to apply a few fundamental principles to different real world situations is extremely useful in any discipline. While tutoring I try to help students master the fundamentals so they can apply them to the material we're working on as well as future material. Outside academia, I help look after my four siblings and play more League of Legends online than is perhaps healthy.

I am qualified to tutor for many AP Courses (U.S. Government, U.S. History, and French Language) in addition to ACT and further language and English tutoring.

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.
