I am more passionate about the latter, and within the humanities I am most passionate about philosophy and English. The most important thing I've learned from those two fields (and the thing I'd most want to pass on to students) is how to find the right words for thoughts - this is important, not ju...

Zachary

Business Tutor • +14 Subjects

Zack studied Organic Solar Cells at Denmark Technical University and was an Augmented Chemistry Researcher at Rutgers University. His primary expertise is with thin-film nano-scale materials such as Graphene. Zack believes that games are a widely under-utilized resource in education. Zack integrates games or gamified learning in as much as possible. People learn best when they are interested in the outcome like building a career, bettering their financial situation, Inventing something entirely new and games help train the skills necessary to do that plus they are fun.

Maxim

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Applied Physics from Emory University before receiving my Masters in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech. During my time at Georgia Tech I was able to serve as a graduate teaching assistant, holding office hours, assisting students with assignments, and even preparing and teaching a handful of classes. As an engineer I've always enjoyed math and science, but understanding their applications is truly what has inspired me. My goal in tutoring is to uncover the power of math and physics to my students. I also understand the balance between school and fun. A student athlete my whole life, I know that studying smarter rather than longer is one of the keys to academic success.

Peter

ACT Prep Tutor • +28 Subjects

I have loved math since I was 15, and I try to generate the same sense of discovery in my students. I have applied math to aerospace engineering, information technology, super computing, and investment. It remains a hobby and a source of challenges that never ends! I focus on the new IB syllabus, and on SAT, ACT and GCSE math, and my students are usually in High School, up to College. They work in a test environment, so that while we are learning where their weaknesses are and teaching them, we are always working in the context of the exam. I use my own software and test suites, and focus on three things: accuracy (do they understand the math); comprehension (translating exam questions into math that they understand); and (very important) time management and shortcuts. For younger students I focus on helping them to really understand the methods used in different areas of math and, where possible, in an appropriate test environment. I have tutored more than 500 students, and have commendations from most of them.

Hannah

ACT English Tutor • +57 Subjects

Hello! Thanks for reading. I have been tutoring youth aged 10 18 for over a decade, with experiences spanning New York, Memphis, Santa Fe and Baltimore. I received my BA in Urban Studies from New York University in 2009 and obtained my Master's of Science in Public Health Nutrition from Johns Hopkins University in 2013. I am also a Registered & Licensed Nutritionist currently based in Memphis, TN.My joy in tutoring comes from helping children and young adults evolve as learners. There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing a young person's aha moment and I strive to reach that moment with patience, humor, and creativity. Every person learns and engages differently, and it is crucial that a tutor be aware of, attuned to and prepared for those differences. I believe that tutoring is about growing minds and forging connections and I believe my long history of successful tutoring partnerships attests to that fact. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, taking online Coursera classes (they're a great resource!), hiking, practicing yoga, and exploring new places.

Toshiki

AP Chemistry Tutor • +6 Subjects

I am a science writer and podcaster with a rigorous academic background who is passionate about sharing my knowledge of chemistry with curious minds. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and Asian art history from UC Berkeley and completed a PhD in inorganic chemistry at MIT. I have five years of experience teaching college-level general and organic chemistry courses at various institutions in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and hope to expand on my experience as a private tutor. Often a required subject for other classes, chemistry is often considered "the central science" as it's related to biology and physics, and I appreciate that chemical principles can be observed throughout daily life from cooking to medicine to electronics. I believe that education is the world's greatest social equalizer and hope that my students learn to make new connections between classes and other aspects of their life. Outside of science, I love dogs, food, and the outdoors.

Tyler

College English Tutor • +42 Subjects

I am a graduate of Wright State University. I received my Bachelor of Integrated Language Arts and my Master of Education. Throughout much of my program, I have had many opportunities to tutor students from a variety of different backgrounds. The vast bulk of my experience tutoring has been with middle and high school students in "at-risk" school districts and students who speak English as a second language in Dayton, Ohio. Ever since my days in the public school system, English class was the one place where I felt free to be myself and fully embrace what I was being taught. My wonderful instructors showed me that writing especially was a gateway to self-expression, and whenever I tutor students for writing, I try to teach the subject with all the opportunities in the world for the student to write about themselves and give them a platform to express what really matters to them. It's that chance to inject themselves into their studies that allows a student to form deeper connections with the subject. In my spare time, I'm an avid reader, a long-time player of table-top Role Playing Games, and a bicyclist.

I graduated from Saint Mary's College Notre Dame, IN with a B.A. in Psychology and minors in Spanish and Biology. I have a wide range of teaching and tutoring experience since I tutored in Seville, Spain and worked as a homeroom teacher for kindergarten and elementary aged students at private educational institutes in Seoul, South Korea since I am ESL certified. I believe education shouldn't be limited due to language barriers and am quite passionate about language learning in order to help as many students as I can.I am quite passionate about being a mentor for students and providing them the key fundamental skills to not only succeed in the classroom, but in all of their future endeavors as well. I believe it is important to look at education as a holistic experience.Outside of my academic life, I enjoy a variety of interests, such as hiking, dance, music, video games, and art.

Jane

College English Tutor • +18 Subjects

I love to learn: I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Administration with an emphasis in nonprofit management at Oakland University, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University. I chose an undergraduate major in English and minors in Editing and in Spanish. While at BYU, I was very involved with the Writing Fellows program which gave me the opportunity to be a specialized writing tutor for several years. I worked one-on-one with my fellow undergraduates to help improve them their writing in a variety of courses including humanities, religion, recreation management, and English. I also helped tutor new writing tutors as they came into the program through my position as a teaching assistant. I love to empower hesitant writers to come up with their own ideas and write using their own words. Helping students with reading comprehension and literature is also my favorite. When I am not reading, writing, and tutoring, you can find me outside hiking, practicing yoga, or navigating through whitewater rapids, most recently with my new husband.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Tucson's 427 schools and all 67 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Tucson Unified School District, Sunnyside, Sahuarita, or any other local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands Arizona's academic standards and local curriculum expectations.

Tucson's average student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1 means individual students often don't get the focused attention they need in the classroom. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by providing dedicated support tailored to your student's specific learning style, pace, and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

Tucson students commonly seek tutoring in math, English, science, and test preparation (SAT, ACT, and AP exams). We also work with students on Arizona-specific requirements like passing the AIMS exam and meeting state standards. Whatever subject your student is struggling with or wants to excel in, Varsity Tutors can connect you with an expert tutor.

Tutors who work with Tucson students are familiar with Arizona's K-12 standards and graduation requirements, including proficiency expectations in English language arts, math, science, and social studies. They can help students close specific skill gaps, prepare for state assessments, and build confidence in areas where they're falling behind—ensuring they're on track to meet Arizona's benchmarks.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where they stand academically, identify specific areas that need support, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps ensure that every future session is targeted and effective.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and many families find that the focused, personalized instruction delivers strong results that justify the investment. Contact us for a consultation to discuss pricing and find a tutoring plan that works for your family.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on their starting point and how frequently they work with their tutor. Building strong academic skills is a process, and the most sustainable results come from regular, focused practice. Your tutor will track progress and adjust strategies to keep your student moving forward.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring their area. Many hold degrees in their subject, have classroom teaching experience, or bring specialized knowledge—like test prep certification or advanced subject mastery. When we match your student with a tutor, we ensure they're well-qualified to help your student succeed.
