Illinois Tutoring FAQ
For expert tutoring for students in Illinois, reach out to the experts at Varsity Tutors. We will connect you with a highly qualified teacher, whether you are a parent of a student studying to take the ACT at Adlai E. Stevenson High School or you are studying for the GMAT at Northwestern University. Many people consider private tutoring a last resort when you have already fallen behind or failed a course. However, tutoring is an excellent resource for building upon your current skill set or diving into more advanced concepts than those covered in your course.
There are expert tutors available for any student at any age or skill level, and private instruction is one of the most effective ways to build your academic skills.

How much does Varsity Tutors cost for students in Illinois?
The price of tutoring for students in Illinois will depend on your unique learning needs. The amount of support you need can affect the price per session, for example.
Continuous sessions throughout your student's entire math course may cost less per session than a handful of sessions to review for the SAT. The complexity level of a subject could also affect the price you pay. For instance, sessions to prepare for the MCAT with an expert in the test may realize a different cost than sessions for your elementary school student working on early literacy. An Educational Director can help you find the plan that works best with your budget.
