Madeleine
Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects
I am currently a senior attending the University of Notre Dame, and I am pursuing a degree in the Program of Liberal Studies (PLS). PLS is a renowned Great Books program that aims to perfect the student's ability to think critically in a variety of disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, and history. In PLS, great emphasis is placed on formulating deep and effective arguments and presenting them clearly in a technically correct manner, both in class and through my written work. Consequently, I have had much practice writing and editing my own work as well as editing that of my classmates. I am also pursuing a minor in education and am seriously considering pursuing a career in the educational field after graduating. I am passionate about helping others learn to the fullest extent of their abilities while enjoying the subject at the same time! Hobbies: running, reading, music, writing, art, books

I am dedicated, then, to meeting students where they are at in their writing. I have found that my strengths lie in listening to students, hearing what they struggle with, and then dedicating the time and patience to helping them improve their work. My goal as an instructor and tutor is to not only equip students with the skills they need to improve their writing and English but also to help them see that they do have something valuable to say and that they can make improvements. I have learned through my experiences that I am passionate about working with students because I greatly enjoy helping them gain confidence to become better writers, communicators, and learners. Hobbies: cooking, music, writing, art, books, running, hiking, reading

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Ontario's 10 schools and both school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Ontario-Parma area or elsewhere in the district, we can match them with a tutor who understands Oregon's academic standards and can support their specific learning needs.
While Ontario's average student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1 is beneficial, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something different—instruction tailored entirely to your student's pace, learning style, and goals. This is especially valuable when a student needs to catch up in a specific subject, prepare for high-stakes tests, or accelerate beyond grade-level content.
The first session is a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor assesses your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges. They'll discuss goals—whether that's improving grades, building confidence in a subject, or preparing for exams—and create a personalized plan to help your student succeed.
Ontario students commonly seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for state assessments and college entrance exams. We also work with students on study skills, executive function, and specific learning challenges that affect academic performance across subjects.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Oregon's academic standards and curriculum expectations. Personalized instruction helps students master grade-level content, build foundational skills, and develop the critical thinking abilities Oregon assessments require—all at a pace that works for your student.
Pricing depends on the subject, tutor qualifications, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible tutoring plans—whether your student needs weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or occasional support around challenging topics. Contact us to discuss options that fit your family's budget and schedule.
Varsity Tutors connects students with vetted tutors who have subject expertise and experience teaching students at various levels. Many have backgrounds in education, hold degrees in their subject areas, or have proven success helping students achieve their academic goals—all verified before they work with students.
Many students show improvement within the first few weeks as they build confidence and develop better study habits. More significant grade or test score improvements typically emerge over 2-3 months of consistent tutoring, depending on the subject and your student's starting point. The tutor will track progress and adjust the approach as needed.
