I am a licensed attorney in Illinois who primarily represents children in guardianship disputes as the Guardian ad Litem as well as low-income clients in a myriad of housing and family law related cases. I graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Philosophy in 2009. In May of 2014, I received my JD from Loyola University Chicago School of Law. I tutor Reading, Writing, History, Public Speaking, Standardized Test Prep, and am available to help with the college application process. Prior to law school, I assisted in the developing of curriculum for a homework help program at a community center in Chicago. I have always been passionate about how to best share and communicate ideas, whether written or spoken. My method for tutoring involves sharing this passion with students to better help them hone and express their own opinions.

Calculus Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.

Calculus Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology on the Premed track. I have two years worth of experience peer tutoring. I feel the most confident tutoring ACT preparation. During my time as a high school student, I worked from an ACT score of 25 to a 36 and developed many effective strategies that I will tailor to the students I tutor and understand the ins and outs of the test. In addition to working with high school peers, I have also enjoyed teaching private piano and violin lessons for elementary students. Helping people knock down their roadblocks is a passion of mine. Standardized tests and basic education may feel removed from our passions, but developing those foundations are essential for opening up opportunities and becoming capable of taking on our pursuits.

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Ellie

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a 4th year student at The University of Chicago majoring in Economics. I recently completed all of my coursework and am now filling my time with the activities I most enjoy. One of these activities is teaching. At the beginning of this academic year, I joined an organization on campus that teaches juniors and seniors at a local high school about community engagement through the lens of philanthropy. Through this, I have the unique opportunity to empower students to become leaders in their community; to provide them a platform to change issues about which they are most passionate. This experience inspires my desire to educate young students; to provide them the tools to be leaders, whether that be in the classroom, on the playing field, or in their community. My time as a youth soccer coach and tutor of my little brother and his friends has further bolstered my love of teaching. Given my extensive experience and longtime passion for math and applied math subjects, I feel I can best help students seeking help in these areas, though I have experience in a broad range of subjects. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing soccer, basketball, guitar and piano, as well as cooking, hiking and listening to podcasts.

Hannah

Calculus Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a sophomore in college at McGill University and am studying Biology and Computer Science. I am passionate about science and would love to help kids who are struggling with it. I hope through tutoring I can help children find the love for learning that I have found. This is in the end the best motivation a child can have. I struggled a lot at the beginning of classes and know what it feels like when something doesn't click. I use this when I tutor and know to go slowly and diligently through everything. I have one year of professional experience in a tutoring center and have worked with children of all ages. I have training to teach anything from reading to Java programming. Tutors helped me through many classes and I would love to be able to do that for your child!

I'm fairly good at math. I love art and music and movies and make sure to spare some time for a good TV show once in a while. I'm plenty mature, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for cartoons. Learning and teaching are my lifelong passions, and it is this passion that I hope to impart to my students; I want to infect my students with the intellectual enthusiasm that has brought so many rewards to my own life. Hobbies: books, music, art, movies, reading, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Champaign's four school districts—including Unit 4, Unit 2, Mahomet-Seymour, and others—with personalized instruction. Whether your student attends a school in central Champaign or the surrounding areas, we can match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and school expectations.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 across Champaign's 33 schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention to fill gaps and accelerate learning. Personalized tutoring provides the individualized focus that busy classroom teachers simply can't always provide, helping students master challenging concepts at their own pace.

Champaign students typically seek help with math, science, and English—especially during transitions between grade levels and before standardized testing. Tutors also work with students on test prep for Illinois assessments, AP exams, and college entrance exams, as well as foundational skills like reading and writing.

Most students get matched with a tutor within a few days of connecting with Varsity Tutors. We take time to understand your student's specific needs, learning style, and goals—then connect them with someone who's a great fit. Your first session can typically be scheduled within a week.

Yes, tutors who work with Champaign students are familiar with Illinois State Standards and the curriculum used across local school districts. This means they can help your student meet grade-level expectations, prepare for Illinois assessments, and build skills aligned with what schools are teaching.

The first session is about getting to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, answer any questions, and create a personalized plan for moving forward. There's no pressure; it's a chance to build confidence and trust.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and how frequently your student needs help. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and we're happy to discuss what works best for your family. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs.

You'll see progress through improved grades, stronger test scores, and increased confidence—often within the first few weeks. Tutors also provide regular feedback on what your student is mastering and where they're gaining momentum. Many Champaign parents notice their students become more engaged and willing to tackle challenging material.
