Anniessa
Middle School Math Tutor • +46 Subjects
I am an educator and artist with a passion for languages. I have experience teaching in both Minneapolis and Paris, and I have tutored in K-12 core subject matters - math, science, language arts, and social studies. I have my Master's of Education from the University of Minnesota in Second Languages and Cultures with a narrow focus on English as a Second Language. I am fluent in French and have an intermediate level in Spanish and Arabic. My main goals when working with students is to meet them where they are at in their learning, as well as use creative ways to make knowledge accessible. When I'm not teaching, I am spending time outside, reading up and working on anti-oppression, and watching movies. I am also a novice herbalist and astrologer, and hope to dedicate more time in learning about our plan(t)cestors and how they help with healing. Hobbies: art, movies, books, reading, music, writing
Maika
Japanese Tutor
I am a graduate of Carleton College, and received my Bachelor of Arts degree in linguistics. I have tutored Japanese at elementary and intermediate levels, and also worked as a teaching assistant for linguistics. I plan to continue tutoring and assisting in these fields. I also hope to continue my linguistics and Japanese studies in graduate school in the future. My favorite subject to tutor is linguistics because it is such a relatively new field, and it leaves so many opportunities for learning for both the tutee and the tutor. I believe teaching and tutoring plays a large role in shaping a person's passion for learning, and sometimes just one good experience can change your whole perspective on a subject. In my personal experience, I find that sometimes all we need is a helping hand to support us on our learning journey, and it's inspired me to try and be that supporting person.
Seth
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a graduate of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on European history and the history of religion. I am extremely passionate about history and writing, and I have enjoyed tutoring students in these subjects for over five years. I began my journey as an educator in 2017, when I taught lessons about human rights and the history of religion to high school students in the San Francisco Bay Area. I continued honing my educational skills at Carleton, where I worked as a tutor and mentor for students with learning differences. I used my deep knowledge of history and writing to help students proofread their essays, study for humanities courses, and teach them important executive functioning and study skills to help them succeed in college. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to form empathic and intentional connections with my students. By learning more about their educational backgrounds and understanding their goals, I become a better mentor who will more effectively guide them through their studies. When I am not tutoring, I like to hike, kayak, read, write, and research my family's history.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects
I'm more likely to give an answer quickly when a teacher asks a question if I have a habit of properly attuned instincts. So, if I want your confidence to grow, I need to redirect the water your instincts flow through to the proper conduits of careful thinking.

Adam
Calculus Tutor • +32 Subjects
I am a class of 2015 graduate of Boston College. I have been brought to the world of tutoring because of my desire to help students through the stressful time of taking those big scary standardized tests. Both the ACT and the SAT gave me a large amount of anxiety when I was a junior in high school and I want to help other students through this process. This desire brought me to tutor kids in the local Boston high schools while I was in college and now I have taken my talents to the Twin Cities.
Kushal
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am a graduate student from Houston, Texas. I will begin my Master's program in Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M beginning in January 2018. I've had previous tutoring experience in SAT Math and ACT Math and Science. I like to encourage students to fully understand the concepts that they are learning; you will always use some form of math at all points in life! Outside of school and studying, I enjoy watching and playing sports. Whether it's basketball, football, baseball, or any other sport, I love discussing games and news.
Sarah
Geometry Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a multi-media artist based in MN. I earned a BA in Cinema and Media Studies from Carleton College in 2016. In addition, I completed my IB diploma in 2012 from the International School of Geneva, Switzerland. I am passionate about teaching. As an artist, I am always seeking creative solutions to problems. This is part of why I am drawn to teaching. The act of teaching/tutoring requires creativity and awareness. As a tutor, I think it's important for me to be able to adapt my teaching methods to match the learning styles of my students and find dynamic ways to engage students with the subject material.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Coon Rapids's 21 schools and all three school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in Anoka-Hennepin, Fridley, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic standards they're working with.
While Coon Rapids schools maintain a solid 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio, classroom instruction still means your student shares teacher attention with dozens of peers. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning pace, gaps, and goals—adjusting explanations and practice in real time based on what works best for them.
Students in Coon Rapids most commonly seek help in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and standardized test preparation for the ACT and SAT. We also work with many students on writing skills, science concepts, and foreign language fluency—all aligned with Minnesota state standards and local district expectations.
The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their current level, specific challenges, learning style, and goals. The tutor will assess where they stand in their coursework, identify gaps, and create a personalized plan tailored to help them succeed in their Coon Rapids classroom and beyond.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Minnesota's academic standards and the specific expectations of Coon Rapids school districts. Tutors work directly with your student's curriculum, homework, and assessments to build mastery of grade-level standards and prepare them for state benchmarks and standardized tests.
Many students see noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of consistent personalized instruction, especially when tutoring targets specific gaps in understanding. Research shows that 1-on-1 tutoring can significantly accelerate learning, but the timeline depends on the subject, how far behind your student is, and how frequently they meet with their tutor.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, or have years of tutoring experience—and all are selected to match your student's specific needs and learning style.
Varsity Tutors offers flexible tutoring options to fit different budgets and schedules. You can choose frequency and duration based on your student's needs, whether that's weekly sessions or intensive support during a critical time. Contact us to discuss pricing options that work for your family.
