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
Dylan
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I am known among friends for my love of puzzles, riddles, word problems, and mathematical challenges. I have a deep knowledge of pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus and a passion for teaching it. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish. While foundational vocab and grammar are important, I emphasize speaking and encourage my students to take risks. I believe embracing discomfort is critical to learning a language. Spanish has helped me to travel and live in different communities throughout the world. I strive to kindle a similar appreciation and passion for language in my students.

Tyler
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a graduate of Luther College, a liberal arts school in Decorah, IA. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Religion, with a minor in Social Welfare. Throughout college, I tutored many students in high school and college level math. I loved the process of helping people through math problems, so after graduating I served in the MN Math Corps as a Math Enrichment Tutor, where I learned research based teaching methods to tutor middle school students who were below proficiency in math. Currently, I am certified to tutor a broad range of math subjects ranging from elementary math to pre-calculus, as well as ACT Math and GRE Math/Verbal test prep. Through my experience, I've found that the best method of tutoring is to tailor it to each student's learning style (every concept can be taught/understood in multiple ways), and make sure the student actually understands what he/she is doing versus just learning equations and methods to complete assignments. I am very passionate about tutoring math as I love empowering people, and I believe mathematics is a vital subject to learn and understand. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a data analyst for a market research firm near Chicago. In my free time, I enjoy keeping up on current events, reading (I love Harry Potter and Hunger Games!), Ultimate Frisbee, playing guitar and piano, and learning economics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Bend's 46 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Bend-La Pine Unified School District or nearby areas, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
Personalized tutoring addresses gaps in foundational skills while targeting Oregon's specific learning standards in math, reading, science, and social studies. Tutors work with students to build mastery at their own pace, which is particularly valuable given Bend's 19:1 student-teacher ratio—personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps ensure no student falls behind in meeting state benchmarks.
Bend students frequently seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and standardized test preparation. Many families also connect with tutors for science support, writing skills, and help navigating transitions between middle and high school—all areas where personalized instruction makes a measurable difference.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's strengths, challenges, and learning style. They'll assess current skill levels, discuss academic goals, and create a personalized plan—so by session two, targeted instruction begins. This foundation ensures every session builds toward real progress.
Varsity Tutors connects students with subject experts who have demonstrated mastery in their fields—many hold degrees in their subject areas or have extensive teaching experience. All tutors are vetted for expertise and professionalism, ensuring Bend students work with instructors who truly know their material and can explain it clearly.
Tutoring is customized around your family's schedule. Whether your student needs sessions after school, on weekends, or during school breaks, Varsity Tutors works with you to find a consistent routine that fits. Flexible scheduling helps Bend families balance academics with sports, activities, and other commitments.
Many students show noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though timelines vary based on the subject and starting point. The key is regular, focused sessions—research on personalized instruction shows that consistent 1-on-1 learning compounds over time, leading to stronger foundational skills and increased confidence.
Pricing varies based on the tutor's expertise, subject matter, and your student's needs. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your goals and budget—this helps us match you with the right tutor and create a plan that works for your family. Many Bend families find that personalized tutoring is a worthwhile investment in their student's academic success.
