I am currently working on a Biotechnology degree after changing from an Aerospace Engineering degree after getting married. I have extensive experience in Mathematics and Science, and I am a very capable writer as well. I can tutor nearly any S.T.E.M course up through highschool (and some college), along with English and grammar - more specifically paper writing - up to an early college level.
Mason
AP Statistics Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am a graduate of Texas Christian University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Political Science. During this time, I was a tutor for the Departments of Economics and Mathematics, where I gained a passion for seeing the "click" of knowledge, where information becomes made personal. Since graduation, I have have been pursuing my Master of Public Administration at the University of Kansas. My career mission is to work in City Management, applying math, social sciences, communication, and other fields to serve the public in a multidisciplinary manner. I am a firm believer in being a well-around, global citizen, so that entails being moderately versed in many fields of study. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Economics, Math, and Standardized Testing. I believe that education is the path to an enlightened life, so I look forward to joining you on that journey. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, film/television, stand-up comedy, and playing/watching all sports.

Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects
I am a certified English teacher and Principal in the State of Missouri. I believe that students are under more pressure than ever to succeed in school. However, due to the ever increasing class sizes that some of the best schools are experiencing students are not able to receive the personal attention that some of them need to be at their best. That is why tutoring can be so valuable. I am able to work one on one with a student which allows me to devote all my time to helping them with their particular problems. I am able to help students understand what it is they are being asked to do, assist them in accomplishing it and finally, provide them the ability to recall the information for future use.
John
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am able to tutor many different areas of math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Of these, my favorite is definitely Calculus, because I think that there are many people with misconceptions about the subject, and I enjoy showing people that there is nothing to afraid of, and that it can actually be fun!
Jacob
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Missouri State University with a BS in Chemistry, emphasis in biochemistry. In my final semester of college, I tutored chemistry online, and I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable job I've ever had. I am a scientist, so I mainly tutor chemistry, but I am also an excellent essay writer, editor, and test taker. As a result I am well equipped to tutor chemistry, physics, biology, math, essay writing, report writing, editing, and ACT Prep. I love seeing students with a genuine interest in chemistry and giving them the guidance and tools to understand its toughest concepts. In my spare time, I am an avid video gamer, artist, cyclist, and a player of ultimate frisbee.
Evan
Trigonometry Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am currently working towards an Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Colorado, Boulder. In high school, I worked with 5th grade students tutoring math. Beyond that, I was always avaliable to help my classmates learn topics that I may have understood better at the time. Overall, math and science courses are my favorite to help people with because I enjoy those courses myself and think the knowledge is not hard to learn if given the right teacher and enough time. In teaching, I like to understand the level of comprehension the student has first before just going in and telling them what he/she should do. It is more effective to learn how to teach yourself the knowledge than to just be able to regurgitate it onto a test. Other than academics, I like playing basketball, video games, and just hanging out and messing around with friends. Hobbies: art, books, reading, music, writing

Kristen
Middle School Math Tutor • +27 Subjects
I am a graduate of Rockhurst University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with a minor in English Literature. Upon graduating, I became certified to teach both elementary education (grades 1-6) and English Language Arts (grades 5-9) in the state of Missouri. I have spent the past two years teaching seventh grade reading and writing, and I have loved every minute of it! Not only do I love helping my students understand new concepts in my subject areas, but I also really enjoy sharing literature, both classics and new fiction, with them in hopes it will foster a love of reading. I believe in the power of literature to spark critical thinking and help students make meaningful connections to their lives and the lives of others. It may come as no surprise that one of my chief hobbies is reading; I try to read fifty new novels every year, many of which I can then recommend to my students! I tutor a broad range of subjects, most notably English, Literature, and ACT/SAT Test Preparations, but regardless of what I am tutoring, my teaching philosophy and style stems from building relationships with my students. While I have a great innate desire to help the next generation learn and succeed, I realize that the first step to doing so is getting to know my students and their individual needs. Only then can I create truly meaningful, relevant, and applicable lessons and tutoring sessions that will help them learn and grow. My passion is to help students realize their potential as life-long learners and help them succeed as they navigate their educational paths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Cape Girardeau with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. With 19 schools and two school districts in the area, we work with students from both Cape Girardeau Public Schools and Saxony Lutheran High School, as well as homeschooled students in the community.
While Cape Girardeau schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 9.9:1, some students still benefit from additional personalized attention in specific subjects. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific academic needs—something that's difficult to achieve even in smaller classroom settings.
Tutors in Cape Girardeau are familiar with Missouri's Grade-Level Expectations and state assessment requirements. Whether your student is preparing for state tests, working toward grade-level proficiency, or getting ahead, personalized instruction can be tailored to align with Missouri's academic standards and your student's specific school's curriculum.
Cape Girardeau students commonly seek tutoring in math, reading comprehension, and science—subjects that build foundational skills for success in middle and high school. We also work with students on test preparation, writing skills, and subject-specific support across the curriculum. If you're unsure whether tutoring would help your student, we can discuss your specific needs.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss any academic challenges, and create a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure that every following session builds directly toward your student's success.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level. We recommend connecting with Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's needs and get a personalized quote. Many families find that the investment in personalized instruction pays off through improved grades, test scores, and academic confidence.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience working with students at your child's grade level. Tutors are independent professionals who are carefully selected to match your student's learning needs and academic goals.
