Families navigating St. Louis's mix of 40 public and private schools across 9 districts know that standing out takes more than solid grades. Whether a student is aiming for a competitive high school entrance exam, targeting a strong MAP score, or building toward ACT and SAT benchmarks, the academic bar keeps rising — and personalized instruction is one of the most reliable ways to get ahead of it.
Each student matched through Varsity Tutors starts with an initial assessment that maps current skills against Missouri's Grade-Level Expectations and sets a targeted plan from session one. Tutors bring subject-specific depth across algebra, geometry, reading, writing, science, and standardized test prep, and scheduling flexes around your family's calendar — school year, exam season, or summer enrichment alike.

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across St. Louis's 40 public and private schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in one of the 9 school districts in the area or a charter school, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific needs.
Tutors work with students to master Missouri's Grade-Level Expectations across core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies. They assess where your student stands relative to grade-level benchmarks and create targeted lesson plans that address gaps while keeping pace with classroom instruction, ensuring students are prepared for state assessments and future academic success.
St. Louis students frequently seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and science. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) and high school entrance exams. Tutors can help with any subject or skill your student is struggling with, from foundational skills to advanced coursework.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1 in St. Louis schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need in the classroom. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting. This focused approach helps students build confidence and close academic gaps more quickly.
During the initial session, the tutor will assess your student's current skill level, discuss academic goals, and identify areas where they need the most support. They'll also get to know your student's learning style and preferences to create a personalized plan. This foundation ensures that all future sessions are targeted and effective.
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can work around your family's schedule. Whether your student needs support during the school year, help preparing for end-of-year assessments, or summer enrichment, tutors can adjust session frequency and timing to fit your needs. You can discuss scheduling preferences when you get matched with a tutor.
Absolutely. Tutors help students prepare for the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), ACT, SAT, and other standardized tests. They use targeted strategies to build test-taking skills, review content areas, and boost confidence. Many St. Louis students benefit from test prep tutoring to improve their scores and college readiness.
Simply tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects they need help with, and Varsity Tutors will match them with an expert tutor in the St. Louis area. Once matched, you can schedule your first session at a time that works best for your family. The process is straightforward and designed to get your student support quickly.
