Anthony

Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am a certified English teacher and Principal in the State of Missouri. I believe that students are under more pressure than ever to succeed in school. However, due to the ever increasing class sizes that some of the best schools are experiencing students are not able to receive the personal attention that some of them need to be at their best. That is why tutoring can be so valuable. I am able to work one on one with a student which allows me to devote all my time to helping them with their particular problems. I am able to help students understand what it is they are being asked to do, assist them in accomplishing it and finally, provide them the ability to recall the information for future use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Cape Girardeau with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. With 19 schools and two school districts in the area, we work with students from both Cape Girardeau Public Schools and Saxony Lutheran High School, as well as homeschooled students in the community.

While Cape Girardeau schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 9.9:1, some students still benefit from additional personalized attention in specific subjects. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific academic needs—something that's difficult to achieve even in smaller classroom settings.

Tutors in Cape Girardeau are familiar with Missouri's Grade-Level Expectations and state assessment requirements. Whether your student is preparing for state tests, working toward grade-level proficiency, or getting ahead, personalized instruction can be tailored to align with Missouri's academic standards and your student's specific school's curriculum.

Cape Girardeau students commonly seek tutoring in math, reading comprehension, and science—subjects that build foundational skills for success in middle and high school. We also work with students on test preparation, writing skills, and subject-specific support across the curriculum. If you're unsure whether tutoring would help your student, we can discuss your specific needs.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss any academic challenges, and create a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure that every following session builds directly toward your student's success.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level. We recommend connecting with Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's needs and get a personalized quote. Many families find that the investment in personalized instruction pays off through improved grades, test scores, and academic confidence.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience working with students at your child's grade level. Tutors are independent professionals who are carefully selected to match your student's learning needs and academic goals.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's academic needs, goals, and preferred subjects. We'll match your student with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can schedule the first session at a time that works for your family. The process is straightforward, and we're here to answer any questions along the way.
