Karishma

Calculus Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am very dedicated to helping students excel in school and in helping them develop study methods and styles that work best for them and that will serve them throughout school. I previously tutored with Boys Hope Girls Hope in Evanston, IL. I tutored middle and high school students in Spanish and English, and I was able to help them develop study strategies such as using flashcards or translating a sentence they had spoken aloud that day in their heads for extra language practice. I am very excited to be able to tutor again and to work with students. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a previously struggling student excel and to have helped them improve along the way. Hobbies: reading, music, running, art, books, dancing, writing

I am an incoming freshman at Northwestern University, and I will be studying economics and international studies. I have lots of experience in mentoring students individually and teaching in the classroom through being a student intern for a sophomore honors English class. I love working with students who are preparing for tests or college admissions because it gives me an opportunity to impart my knowledge of the college application process to others and empathize with them on all their concerns. I believe that education and critical thinking are key to expanding your horizons and achieving your goals in life. Hobbies: reading, writing, books, music, art

Rebecca

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am a graduate of Northwestern University where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Religious Studies. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in social work at the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration. I am passionate about tutoring because I want everyone to be able to perform academically at their highest possible level. I also think it is important that learning is not just for one assignment or one test, but rather that it sticks with you to build a solid foundation of knowledge and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each person's particular learning style. Outside of academic interests, I enjoy cooking, being with friends and family, traveling the world, and looking as ridiculous as possible doing Zumba.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Urbana's 18 schools and both school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in Unit 4 or Unit 116, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Urbana students frequently seek support in math, science, and English—subjects that form the foundation for Illinois state standards and college preparation. We also work with students on test prep for the ACT and SAT, as well as AP courses, which are increasingly popular pathways for high school students in the area.

Urbana schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of about 14.8:1, which is solid for public education, but personalized 1-on-1 instruction offers something different—a tutor can focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps. This individualized approach is especially valuable for students who need to catch up, move ahead, or prepare for high-stakes exams.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Illinois State Standards and the specific curriculum frameworks used in Urbana's school districts. Tutors can reinforce classroom learning, help students master grade-level expectations, and build skills that align with state assessments and college readiness benchmarks.

During the first session, the tutor will get to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands academically and work together to create a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure every session that follows is focused and productive.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor qualifications, and your student's needs. We recommend contacting Varsity Tutors directly to discuss your situation and get a personalized quote. Many families find that the focused, results-driven nature of 1-on-1 instruction makes tutoring a worthwhile investment in their student's academic success.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors works with students' schedules, whether they're balancing school, sports, clubs, or other commitments. Tutors offer flexible scheduling to make personalized instruction convenient for your family.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in ACT and SAT prep. Given that many Urbana students are working toward college admission, targeted test prep can make a real difference—the national average SAT score is around 1050, and personalized tutoring helps students identify their weak areas and build test-taking strategies.
