Christian

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a junior mechanical engineering student at Oklahoma Christian University. I have tutored middle school, high school, college, and post college age groups, primarily in math based subjects. Math and physics based subjects are my personal favorite to tutor people in, as these subjects are most of the foundation that makes up my mechanical engineering degree. I also enjoy tutoring students in ACT Prep, and it is my firm belief that the ACT is not as daunting as it may seem. Outside of academia, I am a passionate car enthusiast, and I also love skiing, eating, traveling, and photography.

Jude

AP Statistics Tutor • +52 Subjects

I am a current student at the Colorado School of Mines, studying to double major in Applied Mathematics and Engineering Physics. I have been tutoring students professionally for one year, but also through my schools for 5 years now. I tutor most kinds of Math and Science, and love doing so; being able to help spread understanding of a difficult concept never fails to bring me joy. As a current student, I understand how lecturing is often not the most effective (or interesting) way to learn, so I like to be very interactive and ask a lot of questions in my teaching, almost like a conversation between the student and myself.

Colton

12th Grade math Tutor • +60 Subjects

I am an incoming first year medical student at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BS in Biomedical Engineering. Through the course of my undergraduate career, I served as a teaching assistant for Cell & Molecular Biology and both undergraduate and graduate versions of Introduction to MATLAB. I also have experience volunteering as a tutor from elementary to high school levels. In addition to teaching, I have personal experience with the ACT, SAT, AP, IB, and MCAT exams. I would like to now use my teaching experience to help local students in the subjects I encountered during my undergraduate career. I love teaching and work to make learning as easy as possible by employing games, shortcuts, and gradual build-up so that my students can improve to their desired performance levels. Hobbies: reading, writing, books, music, dancing, art

Heidi

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +40 Subjects

I am a rising sophomore at the University of Colorado Boulder studying International Relations and Journalism. In high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate program and select AP courses (AB Calc, Biology). Though I have experience teaching students in French and English/ESL, I am able to tutor in most middle and high school course subjects. My teaching philosophy relies on patience, repetition and simplifying difficult concepts in a way that takes the intimidation out of learning new material. In my free time, I love to discover new music, write and practice photography.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Thornton's 46 schools, serving families in both the Adams 12 Five Star Schools and Adams-Arapahoe 28J school districts. Whether your student attends an elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and Colorado academic standards.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 19.1:1 in Thornton schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to fill learning gaps and accelerate progress. Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who provide focused, customized support that classroom settings often can't offer, helping students build confidence in subjects like math, reading, and science.

Colorado's academic standards are rigorous, and tutors who work with Thornton students understand the specific benchmarks and assessments your child needs to master. Whether it's preparing for Colorado state assessments, strengthening foundational skills, or tackling advanced coursework, personalized tutoring helps students stay on track with state expectations and build mastery in core subjects.

Thornton students frequently seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and science—subjects that build the foundation for success in both school districts serving the area. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and those pursuing advanced coursework like AP and honors classes.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess strengths and areas needing support, then work with your student to create a personalized plan—whether that's catching up on missed concepts, preparing for an upcoming test, or getting ahead in a challenging subject.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible tutoring options to fit different family budgets and schedules. We can discuss your specific needs—whether you're looking for ongoing weekly sessions or targeted help before a test or semester—and work with you to find a plan that works for your family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience working with students in Colorado schools. Tutors are carefully matched to your student based on their expertise, teaching style, and familiarity with the curriculum used in Thornton's school districts.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals. We'll match them with an expert tutor and schedule a first session at a time that works for your family. Most families see their student connect with a tutor within a few days of reaching out.
