...single number, derived from hasty answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of...

So, we followed the mantra Algebra is not magic, reminding the student in times when she faltered that she can think through a math problem. As long as she felt grounded enough to access her innate understanding of the world around us, she progressed. Later on, my extensive experience in the...

Connecticut Tutoring FAQ
How much does Varsity Tutors cost for students in Connecticut?
Pricing is often a point of concern for those seeking out tutoring for students in Connecticut. The amount you'll pay depends on a few things.
The complexity of the subject matter, for instance, plays a central role in pricing. While having your grade school student work with a college student on basic math may cost one amount, a college student seeking the expertise of a seasoned professor on topics related to calculus might pay another. The amount of tutoring you require also matters. Those who sign up for more sessions may find themselves paying less per session overall. How much you end up paying depends on your specific needs, and our Educational Directors are more than happy to provide additional clarity on the matter.
Which tutoring subjects does Varsity Tutors offer for students in Connecticut?
There is a litany of subjects you can study with a tutor for students in Connecticut. From addressing reading comprehension during test prep for the GMAT to math and science topics parsed throughout K-12 education, you can find valuable instruction in every area of study and at every level.
Tutoring is also available outside of traditional academic tracks. For instance, a young professional eyeing a promotion that would move them across the world might consider sessions related to learning a second language or earning a credential. It doesn't have to be about your career, either. In some cases, tutoring in history or literature could be a way to investigate a topic that interests you even further.
Why choose Varsity Tutors for tutoring in Connecticut?
Tutoring for students in Connecticut can be a great way to get the kind of focused attention that can sometimes be difficult to receive from a teacher in a crowded classroom. During each 1-on-1 lesson, you'll have the opportunity to ask as many questions as is necessary for you to fully understand a given topic, all with someone who knows the material extremely well.
This instruction is ultimately personalized to your needs. Your tutor will have time to get to know you, your strengths, and your areas of opportunity in order to develop a custom plan for helping you achieve your goal. This plan is ultimately flexible, so if you need more support in a given area than originally anticipated, it can be shifted to put the attention where you need it the most.
Our Educational Directors are all too ready to help you chart your course forward. They'll listen carefully to your concerns and answer your questions before presenting options that not only fit your budgetary and scheduling constraints but align with your needs and learning style. Because we understand that flexibility is key in these situations, all sessions take place using a secure web platform, allowing you to work from wherever makes the most sense for you.
