I'm more likely to give an answer quickly when a teacher asks a question if I have a habit of properly attuned instincts. So, if I want your confidence to grow, I need to redirect the water your instincts flow through to the proper conduits of careful thinking.

I am a supportive teacher but I always push my students to succeed. I don't teach based on what my students can already do, I teach based on where I know they are capable of going and what they are capable of doing. I also make sure to talk with them. No one knows how the students learn best more than the students themselves. I bring multiple approaches and vantage points, ready to hit every possible arena and hopefully perk the students' learning style at some point.

David

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects

I'm experienced in and passionate about (especially computer skills, Python, and math) with others. I try to convey the principles and thought process that are the basis of my own understanding of the subject, not just rules to follow or things to memorize. Being able to explain your answer is even more important than simply getting it right! My tutoring style is personalized, with plenty of examples and frequent knowledge checks to ensure I and my student(s) are in sync. In my spare time I enjoy cycling, skiing, woodworking, reading, and vacationing to Lake Superior. Hobbies: books, music, hiking, art, reading, writing

Brita

Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am currently a student at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and working toward a Master's in Counseling and School Personnel Psychology. I have worked with students in varies capacities, such as daycare facilities, summer school programs, and school environments. These settings have given me the opportunity to experience working with students from various cultures and backgrounds. The students I have worked with range in grade levels from elementary school all the way through college. I tutor in English, Art, Phonics, Reading, Social Studies, Social Sciences, Writing, essay editing, some test prep, and, of course, Psychology. I feel that my strengths lie in the areas of Psychology, Writing, Reading, and Essay Editing. I am passionate about enabling and empowering students within the realm of education (hence my current course of study) and can see this translating into every tutoring session. I want to make the tutor-tutee relationship a positive, educational, and fun one. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, photography, biking, cooking and baking, and listening to and playing music.

Brian

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a senior undergraduate student at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities studying Genetics, Cell Biology and Development. After graduation, I will attend medical school (where is still being determined), where my goal is to become an academic physician who both cares for patients and educates residents and medical students. My favorite subjects are biology and chemistry, but I enjoy physics and humanities courses as well. My teaching experience includes teaching and tutoring summer school math (and doing some test prep work) to high school students in Rochester, MN. I also have given saxophone lessons. I love teaching, and I believe strongly in active, problem based learning. For science courses, I have considerable experience working in two cancer research labs, so I can help put that material in a real-world context. Outside of academics, I love playing and listening to music (I play jazz and blues saxophone), watching sports of all kinds, and playing basketball, golf and racquetball.

Cleo

Calculus Tutor • +36 Subjects

I'm dedicated to critical thought and careful, clear writing. In my independent written work, I focus on issues of political economy, critical theory, and the social and political impacts of technology. I recently also have begun to work on a science fiction novel. In tutoring, I hope to encourage students to approach writing and language with ease and technical competence. I have extensive experience in many academic areas, and can help develop skills for large research projects, short essays, standardized test taking, and everything in between. Nothing is too complex to be broken down clearly and mastered!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Minneapolis's 182 schools and 34 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Minneapolis Public Schools campus, a charter school, or a private institution, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support aligned with what they're learning in the classroom.

Minneapolis students seek tutoring across a range of subjects, with math and reading comprehension being the most common areas where additional support makes the biggest impact. We also work with many students preparing for standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, as well as those needing help with Minnesota-specific academic standards and Advanced Placement courses. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in whatever subject your student needs help mastering.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1 in Minneapolis schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that addresses their specific learning gaps. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's individual needs, learning pace, and questions—something that's difficult for teachers to provide in a classroom setting. This targeted approach helps students move from struggling with concepts to mastering them.

Your student's first session is designed as a getting-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about their current level, specific challenges, and learning goals. The tutor will assess what's working and what needs improvement, then create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures that all future sessions are targeted and effective for your student's unique needs.

Tutors working with Minneapolis students are familiar with Minnesota's academic standards and graduation requirements, allowing them to provide instruction that directly supports classroom learning. Whether your student is working toward proficiency in reading, math, science, or social studies, personalized tutoring helps them master the specific skills and content outlined in Minnesota's standards. This alignment means tutoring reinforces and accelerates what students are already learning in school.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects Minneapolis students with tutors experienced in ACT and SAT preparation, as well as AP exam review. Tutors tailor test prep to your student's current score level and target score, focusing on the specific areas where they need the most improvement. Many Minneapolis students benefit from starting test prep several months before exam day to build confidence and skills systematically.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing based on the tutor's expertise, your student's needs, and the frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget, whether that's weekly sessions or more intensive support during key academic periods. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific situation.

We take time to match your student with a tutor who has the right expertise for their subject, understands their learning style, and can build a strong working relationship. Our matching process considers factors like the tutor's background, teaching approach, and experience with students like yours. If a tutor isn't the right fit, we'll work to find someone who is.
