Haripriya

10th Grade Tutor • +56 Subjects

I am currently enrolled in the University of Houston for Mathematical Biology. I am following the pre-med track. I aspire to be a doctor one day, so I can further help people. I have had ample experience in tutoring people. I used to help my classmates before and after school in High School, and I volunteer to help tutor some people in my University. I am very passionate about my studies, and I know sometimes everybody needs a little help here and there. I am able to teach things in a new perspective and in a manner that would be most useful to my student. My strong suits are in the areas of Math, English, and Test Prep. By combining what I have been taught and what I have learnt, I will be able to help the students understand the materials one way or another. My tutoring policy is to never just give the answer to anyone. They have to understand how to get there and how to apply that idea to another problem. I believe in positive reinforcement and will never discourage the student, but I do believe in making sure they learn things correctly.

Emily

ACT English Tutor • +24 Subjects

Hi, my name is Emily! I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have!

Donald

10th Grade Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Delaware in 1980 with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I achieved Cum Laude distinction at the time of my graduation, and I was also admitted into Eta Kappa Nu, the electrical engineering honors society. In that organization, I was elected Chapter President during my senior year. Since graduation, I have worked in a wide variety of technology-based corporations, including Raytheon Company, EMS Wireless, and Envista Forensics LLC. My engineering experience was heavily based in mathematics and physics which I used to solve a broad range of engineering challenges. Now, as a retired engineer, I have taken up tutoring students. I specialize in mathematics - Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I am passionate about teaching and learning! I learned from many years of technical experience the value of thoroughly learning the fundamentals of science and mathematics. I really enjoy having students get engaged with the coursework and see them excel beyond their expectations. In my personal time, I enjoy music and amateur radio.

Erica

10th Grade Math Tutor • +31 Subjects

As a graduating senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Business School in May of 2016, majoring in Accounting, I am eager to further expand my career and experiences. I believe that my dedication and strong work ethic, combined with my analytical and organizational skills would make me a perfect fit as a tutor.The courses I have taken, as well as the many organizations and previous work experience I have attained has provided me with customer interaction experience, proved my reliability, and enhanced my leadership and mathematical skills. Math has always been my strongest subject, as shown through my math testing scores, and advanced placement upon entering college. Similarly, my enriched abilities in organization and communication would prove extremely useful for this position.As I worked my way up from a retail employee to the manager and webstore manager of a retail store, I gained leadership skills, technological skills, as well as business decision making and managing financial data. I carried over these skills into many of the organizations in which I took part, such as the community service committee of Beta Alpha Psi and the Institute of Management Accountants. As an accounting volunteer tutor with Beta Alpha Psi, I gained valuable experience that I can apply to my future tutoring sessions. Through these positions, I have been able to further my technological, leadership, and organizational skills, while also strengthening my management and communication talents.Another important strength I have is in my computer skills, especially with Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, and Excel. While working as manager and webstore manager, I expanded my computer knowledge, and further enhanced these skills through classes and organizations over the last few years.Over the course of 4 years in high school, I also volunteered once a week as an after-school tutor and homework helper for elementary school students. It was an extremely gratifying experience, being able to teach these students??? important concepts and methods that I understood.

Joey

Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I recently graduated from the University of Florida cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. In fall, I will be beginning medical school at The University of Florida College of Medicine. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine. Throughout high school, I tutored fellow students struggling in core subject areas such as AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, and AP Economics. Then in college, I worked for a tutoring company for three years continuing this passion through tutoring calculus and statistics.It has always been my goal to cater to the unique learning style of those that I tutor so that they may not only earn a good grade in their course, but also so that they may actually master and enjoy the subject matter as much as possible. With my 8 years of experience, not only do I know the subjects that I tutor in well, but I have also identified and learned different ways to explain difficult concepts in everyday language to my students.

Jacob

ACT Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects

I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in creative writing. I'm currently a filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. Since graduating I've worked extensively with an organization called the Creative Mind Group, a non-profit that pairs college-aged students with prestigious internships at film festivals around the globe. I've worked with students internationally in Berlin, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.I've had a rich and interesting tutoring experience, having taught jazz piano, chess, video editing, and even taught basic English skills to Japanese speakers over Skype. For the past year I've volunteered with NY Cares, an organization that brings high-quality after-school programs to low income communities.I've always excelled both academically and in standardized tests. I know that intelligent and targeted private instruction has helped me all throughout my academic career. I'd love to fulfill that role for a student who's looking for that bit of extra help. I am most passionate about teaching reading and writing skills.I believe that learning should be fun but not without rigor. If I can figure out a hook to engage a student in the material, then I think I've done a good job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Arlington Heights's three school districts, which serve approximately 8,200 students across 30 schools. Whether your student attends a school in District 25, District 15, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic expectations in Arlington Heights.

Yes. With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 in Arlington Heights schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to get the individualized attention they need. Tutoring fills that gap, allowing students to ask questions, work at their own pace, and dive deeper into concepts that may get rushed in a classroom setting.

Tutors who work with Varsity Tutors are familiar with Illinois State Standards and the specific expectations for each grade level and subject. They tailor instruction to help students master the skills and content they need to succeed on Illinois assessments and in their coursework, whether that's in math, reading, science, or other core subjects.

Students in Arlington Heights seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including math (algebra, geometry, pre-calculus), English and reading comprehension, science, and standardized test preparation. The specific needs vary by grade level—younger students often focus on foundational math and reading skills, while high schoolers frequently need support with advanced math and test prep for the ACT or SAT.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student is strong and where they need support, then develop a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure every session after that is focused and productive.

Varsity Tutors works with the schedules of Arlington Heights families, offering personalized instruction at times that fit your family's needs. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during the school year or summer, we connect them with tutors who can accommodate their schedule.

Results vary by student and their starting point, but many students see improvements in grades, test scores, and confidence. Some students focus on mastering a specific skill or concept, while others work toward bigger goals like improving their GPA or preparing for standardized tests. A tutor will work with your student to set clear, achievable goals and track progress along the way.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience working with students in their grade level or subject area.
