Jeremy

Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am a veteran college chemistry professor with a Ph.D. from Yale who has taught Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry I many times. I have also taught Introductory Chemistry to students who had never had chemistry before and also a General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for health professions. I look at chemistry as a set of skills to be learned, similar to learning a sport or a musical instrument. I can show you what to do, but to really learn you need to do things yourself.

I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.

I am a Speech Pathology major completing my master's degree at Vanderbilt University. I completed my Bachelor???s at the University of South Florida with an honors thesis on the current research in the field of linguistic relativity among bilinguals. My research interests include literacy, the relationship between cognition and language, and the history of language. My other interests include public speaking and volunteering. My goal is to become a Ph.D. researcher after I obtain my Certificate of Clinical Competence as a speech therapist. I tutor a wide variety of ages in a range of subjects, including but not limited to test preparation, latin, philosophy, and writing.

Jakobi

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am currently applying for medical school and working towards a masters in public health. I have experience working with many different ages ranging from middle school to college level students. Most of my experience is with math and sciences as well as test prep for English ACT exams. I can tutor in math (pre calculus, trigonometry, algebra, geometry) sciences (biological sciences, chemistry, physics) and English. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because it is like a puzzle, and who does not like a good puzzle? My teaching philosophy consists of learning about the students' interests and providing a way to relate their interests into the work they are doing so it can be more meaningful to them. I have found that the more a subject means to a student personally, the better they do in the subject. So, in this way it is possible to turn a subject weakness into a strength and passion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Cookeville's 16 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Putnam County school district or nearby areas, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide targeted instruction aligned with Tennessee academic requirements.

With Cookeville's average student-teacher ratio of 23.2:1, many students benefit from the focused attention of personalized 1-on-1 instruction. A tutor can work at your student's pace, address specific knowledge gaps, and provide the individualized feedback that's harder to give in larger classroom settings—helping them build confidence and master challenging concepts.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Tennessee's academic standards and Putnam County curriculum expectations. Whether your student needs help with Tennessee state testing preparation, grade-level benchmarks, or subject mastery, personalized instruction can help them stay on track and meet local and state learning goals.

During the first session, the tutor will get to know your student—their learning style, current strengths, and areas where they need support. They'll discuss specific goals, whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building foundational skills, and create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and your family's priorities.

Students in Cookeville typically seek help with math, English/language arts, science, and test preparation (including ACT and SAT readiness). Many also benefit from tutoring in specific subjects like algebra, chemistry, and writing skills—areas where personalized instruction can make a significant difference in understanding and performance.

Pricing varies based on the tutor's expertise, subject, and your student's needs. We work with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget, and many parents find that the focused, one-on-one instruction delivers strong value compared to group classes. Contact us to discuss options and get matched with a tutor that works for your family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have expertise in their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Tutors understand Tennessee standards and local curriculum, and they're selected based on their ability to teach effectively and build strong relationships with students. You can discuss a tutor's background and experience before your first session.

Many students see improvements in understanding and confidence within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring. Larger gains—like improved test scores or grade improvements—often develop over a few months of regular sessions. The timeline depends on your student's starting point, how frequently they meet with their tutor, and the specific goals you're working toward.
