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.

Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects
My name is Andrew Heng, and I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2015. I am currently pursuing a career as a physician and will be applying to medical school in 2017. I enjoy meeting people of all ages and backgrounds and learning about their lives and experiences. I have always been an introspective person, and have constantly strived to improve myself as a person, along with the people that I choose to surround myself with. I hope to pass along the skills and knowledge that I have accumulated in my own academic path to younger students to help them succeed in their educational endeavors.
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Aurora's 5 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends school in District 131, District 204, or another Aurora district, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Aurora students typically seek help in math, English language arts, science, and standardized test preparation—especially as they work toward Illinois state assessments and college entrance exams. Many students also benefit from tutoring in foundational skills like reading comprehension and writing, which strengthen performance across all subjects.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Illinois Learning Standards and how they're implemented locally. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target specific gaps in understanding, reinforce grade-level expectations, and help students build the critical thinking and problem-solving skills emphasized in Illinois standards.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss any challenges they're facing, and create a personalized plan to address their needs—whether that's catching up on missed concepts or preparing for an upcoming test.
Aurora's average student-teacher ratio is 14.3:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students with varying needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides undivided attention, allowing tutors to adjust pacing, teaching methods, and explanations to match exactly how your student learns best—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules—you can start with a few sessions per week or adjust as needed. We recommend discussing your specific needs and budget when you connect with us so we can find a match that works for your family.
Many students show noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings help reinforce learning and build confidence more quickly.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver effective personalized instruction. When you get matched with a tutor, you'll know their background and can discuss how their experience aligns with your student's needs.
