Michael

Expert Tutor

Though I'm now a few years removed from academia, I still consider myself an intellect at heart. Stints at New York University's Stern School of Business and Northwestern University have given me extensive scholastic training, and running my own private tutoring service throughout college as a means of making a living has helped me exercise and refine my skill set as a personal academic instructor. Partnering up with Varsity Tutors has provided me with a golden opportunity to continue helping students hone their own academic performance across a wide array of subjects, and my own tutoring background, coupled with my flexible schedule as a by-day real estate investor and independent business owner who possesses total control over his hours, puts me in a unique position to better accommodate the students I work with to ensure that they receive the attention and quality service they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Kansas City has 24 school districts serving over 69,000 students across 204 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a Kansas City Public Schools campus, a charter school, or a private institution, tutors can support their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Tutors work with students to master Missouri's grade-level standards in math, reading, science, and social studies. They diagnose gaps in foundational skills and build targeted instruction around what your student needs, whether that's preparing for state assessments, strengthening core concepts, or advancing ahead of grade level.

Math and reading support are the most requested subjects, especially in elementary and middle grades where foundational skills impact all future learning. High school students in Kansas City frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, chemistry, and test preparation for the ACT and SAT. Varsity Tutors also connects students with tutors in foreign languages, writing, science, and social studies.

The tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their learning style, and identify specific areas where they need support. This initial session sets the foundation for a personalized learning plan tailored to your student's goals—whether that's improving grades, building confidence, or mastering a challenging concept.

While Kansas City's average student-teacher ratio is 12.7:1, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique needs, pace, and learning style. This focused attention helps address gaps quickly, build confidence, and accelerate progress in ways that larger classroom settings can't match.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing based on the tutor's expertise, your student's subject, and the frequency of sessions. Most families start with 1-2 sessions per week and adjust based on their student's progress and needs. We recommend discussing your budget and goals during the matching process to find a tutoring plan that works for your family.

We connect you with tutors who have expertise in your student's subject and understand their grade level and learning needs. You can discuss your student's specific challenges, preferred learning style, and goals before confirming the match, ensuring a good fit from day one.

Many students show noticeable improvement in confidence and understanding within 2-4 weeks of consistent tutoring. Academic grade improvements often follow as foundational skills strengthen. The timeline depends on your student's starting point, the subject, and how frequently they receive tutoring—regular sessions yield faster results than sporadic ones.
