Rosanne

College Essays Tutor • +26 Subjects

My mission is to instill a love of learning in students by providing them with the necessary tools to succeed. I have over a decade of experience teaching in the classroom and providing tutoring in a broad range of subjects.In 2005 I graduated from New Saint Andrews College with a B.A. in Liberal Arts in Culture (Summa Cum Laude). Following this, I taught at a small high school for five years, providing instruction in many subjects, including history, literature, Latin, English composition, and SAT prep. Following this, I took a break from classroom teaching (as my husband and I decided to grow our family) and pursued individual tutoring opportunities in English composition and music instruction. I am now in my third year at a small elementary school where I oversee all curriculum and provide instruction in 3rd-6th grade math, Latin, and English composition.When I'm not teaching, I write historical fiction set during the Middle Ages and the British Regency and do copy editing for a small press that my husband and I co-own.

Daniel

ACT Math Tutor • +24 Subjects

My name is Daniel Kearney, and I'm a recent college graduate living in New York City. My entire professional career has been spent working with youth. I love working with kids of all ages. Their ability to soak up information and improve is inspiring, and their energy makes work not feel like work. I believe that all students are capable of academic success and that sometimes all it takes is a novel approach. This is why it is important to understand the unique learning style of each student. I'm looking forward to getting to work at Varsity Tutors and helping students reach their full potential.

Alphonse

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +9 Subjects

I started my journey while in high school, I took my first anatomy and physiology class and discovered that I wanted a career that would allow me to work with the human body. I was mostly interested in dentistry and orthodontics until I hurt my back in an offseason football workout. After I went to my Chiropractor I realized the importance of the structure of the spine and the function of the central nervous system. While in college I was named captain of our rugby team and enjoyed helping other learn and work together. I was a teacher assistant for an anatomy and physiology class during my time at Fairfield University. I continued my passion of helping others while at Palmer College of Chiropractic where I tutored the first quarter students in general anatomy where I aided them in understanding the anatomy with the use of cadavers. A short while later I was named the president of a chiropractic technique club called: Gonstead Technique. I plan on using my experience and knowledge to help others reach their goals and full potential.

Jordan

Adult Literacy Tutor • +38 Subjects

Currently, I am a first year student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Although unofficial, I will most likely continue on to minor in English/Literature or Art History. My skills vary widely in terms of tutoring subjects. I am personally equipped to teach elementary school through college level courses; however, as I have a passion for literature and the arts, I specialize and do best in tutoring English, Writing, and Literature Analysis & Critique. I love to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom - there is a difference between tutoring for the test, and tutoring to expand the way a person thinks, perceives, and analyzes the world. Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

I began working as a tutor in High School as part of the Math Club, and then continued in college in a part time position, where I helped students in College Algebra, Statistics, Calculus and Programming. After college I moved to Spain where I gave private test prep lessons to high school students and also helped friends prepare for their college entrance exams. By using my broad background in these subjects I can help students see concepts in different ways, and by enthusiastically approaching problems I can help increase the student’s interest.When I am not working or studying for Actuarial Exams, I play guitar, exercise and write computer programs.

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. Tutors go through a vetting process to ensure they're qualified and a good fit for each student's needs. You'll get someone who knows the material and knows how to teach it effectively.
