Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have Mount St. Mary's credentials and demonstrated expertise in their subject areas. These tutors have successfully completed coursework at the university level and bring both academic knowledge and practical teaching experience. Each tutor is carefully matched to your needs based on their background, subject mastery, and tutoring experience.

Mount St. Mary's alumni tutors excel across a wide range of subjects including liberal arts core courses, business, sciences, humanities, and theology—reflecting the university's comprehensive curriculum. Whether you need help with general education requirements, major-specific courses, or exam preparation, you can connect with tutors who have navigated these exact courses and understand what professors expect. This makes them particularly effective at helping students master challenging material and improve their grades.

Your first session is an opportunity for you and your tutor to get to know each other and establish learning goals. The tutor will assess your current understanding of the subject, identify specific areas where you need support, and discuss your academic objectives—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for an exam, or deepening your comprehension. From there, they'll create a personalized plan tailored to your learning style and timeline.

While tutors focus primarily on academic instruction, their personal experience as Mount St. Mary's students means they understand the campus environment, student culture, and academic pressures you're facing. Many students find that this shared background creates a comfortable learning relationship where tutors can offer perspective on balancing coursework with other responsibilities. However, their main role is to help you master your subjects and improve academically.

Tutors who studied a particular major at Mount St. Mary's bring deep knowledge of that field's core concepts, terminology, and applications. They've taken the same upper-level courses you're taking and understand how professors in that department teach and what they emphasize on exams. This expertise is especially valuable for challenging major requirements where you need someone who truly understands the subject matter and the university's approach to teaching it.

Varsity Tutors considers your specific subject needs, academic goals, and learning preferences to connect you with the right tutor from our Mount St. Mary's alumni network. The matching process takes into account the tutor's expertise, availability, and teaching style to ensure a strong fit. You'll have the opportunity to discuss your needs upfront so we can find someone who can best support your success.

Results depend on your starting point, commitment level, and how consistently you work with your tutor. Many students see improvements in their grades, deeper understanding of course material, and greater confidence in class participation and exams within a few weeks of regular tutoring. Because tutors who attended Mount St. Mary's understand exactly what success looks like in your courses, they can help you reach your academic goals more efficiently.
