Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who are alumni or current/former students of Southern Illinois University-Systems Office. These tutors have direct experience with SIU's academic rigor and curriculum, giving them insight into the coursework and expectations you may face. Their background means they understand the institution and can relate to your academic journey.
Tutors with Southern Illinois University experience bring real-world knowledge of how to succeed in challenging coursework and understand the specific academic culture. They've navigated similar courses and can share strategies that worked for them, plus they often understand common student challenges at the institution. This insider perspective helps create more relevant, targeted instruction tailored to your needs.
SIU alumni tutors work across a wide range of subjects including STEM fields, humanities, business, engineering, and more—depending on their individual expertise and degree backgrounds. Whether you need help with calculus, chemistry, writing, economics, or other subjects, Varsity Tutors can match you with a tutor whose academic background aligns with your needs. You can specify your subject when connecting with a tutor.
Your first session is a chance to get to know your tutor and discuss your specific goals, whether that's improving a grade, preparing for an exam, or mastering difficult concepts. The tutor will assess your current level of understanding and create a personalized plan to address your challenges. Most students use this time to establish a comfortable learning relationship and outline what they want to achieve.
Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas, often backed by their degree from Southern Illinois University or relevant coursework and professional experience. Beyond their educational background, tutors are selected based on their ability to teach effectively and communicate clearly. You can review tutor profiles to see their qualifications and experience before connecting.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction means your tutor works exclusively with you to address your unique challenges and learning style, rather than teaching a group. Your tutor will adapt their approach based on what works best for you—whether that's visual explanations, practice problems, discussion, or other methods. This customized approach is one of the most effective ways to build understanding and improve performance.
Learning from an SIU alumnus means your tutor has walked the same academic path and understands the specific challenges and expectations of the institution. They can share authentic insights about study strategies, course structure, and how to thrive in SIU's environment. This shared background often builds stronger rapport and makes tutoring feel more relatable and relevant to your goals.
