Carefully selected, highly-credentialed tutors in Tucson, AZ
"What makes me a great tutor is the fact that my students choose to maintain intellectual relationships with me even after formal instruction has been completed. This is true both of the college students and of the high- and middle-schoolers I have taught. When I ran the test-prep program in Missouri, numerous students experienced high levels of success in improving not only their test scores, but also the skills these tests measure. I taught students who started at 25 on the ACT and ended up at 34, but at least as satisfying were those students who started at 14 and eventually achieved 19." ...

"My name is Sangwon and I'm a recent graduate of UCLA. As a longtime Tucson native, I decided to come back home to Tucson after graduation and am currently in the process of applying to medical schools. Having taken several standardized tests throughout the years, including the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, and a variety of different courses as an Economics major, pre-medicine student, I feel I can help in many different subject areas. I've served in a variety of tutoring roles over the years, but the one I am most proud of was when I helped a 9th grader in algebra a few years ago. As I worked with him throughout the semester, I was able to raise his grade from ...

"I am a graduate student at the U of A, majoring in Statistics. Many people tend to react to this with a face of "ewww," but I love figuring out the patterns and results that tell the story from the numbers. I have taught a variety of subjects and grades, including 7th-grade Math, which I consider to be my hardest gig yet. Like most people who teach and/or tutor, I enjoy the moment when the struggling student 'gets it.' I especially like showing students that most Math problems are a series of simpler problems which they most likely already know how to do. Since I am a full-time graduate student, I don't have much free time, but when I do, I enjoy ...

"My name is William. I have 20+ years of tutoring/teaching experience and have worked with a wide range of students from high need to low need, middle school to adult. I am an excellent tutor because I care about what and how the student knows what they know. It is one thing to have the right answer but it is altogether something else for them to know why they know the answer."

"I have been a certified elementary teacher for 25+ years and have taught in the regular classroom, a cross categorical resource room, a computer-assisted Title I/Special Ed resource room, 6th grade math at the middle school level, and was a math instructional coach at the elementary level. I feel my experience with children with special needs in a resource room setting has given me the opportunity to assess where a student's needs/challenges are. Once the challenges are identified, an educational program can be developed to address those needs. I am technologically literate and relate well to my students. I enjoy solving puzzles, ...
