Diana

Arithmetic Tutor • +18 Subjects

I began tutoring ESL at a summer camp with international students. I taught group ESL lessons, with a wide range of abilities, for kids aged 5 - 14. Engaging the campers in games, both outdoor and indoor, as well as projects and inter-active assignments was key for keeping tutoring sessions fun while also developing language skills. I have also tutored individuals in French and English, primarily aiding them after school with homework help, but also teaching new and more challenging concepts to keep them ahead of their class.As someone who was tutored in math all throughout high school, I can really relate to both sides of the tutoring process! I am a very patient and dedicated individual and I am committed to understanding your child's needs.

I am a current student at Guilford College pursuing a degree in Biology, and I would love to help any student find their passion in math and science! I especially enjoy teaching cellular biology and botany, as those are my academic specialties. I love working with visual learners especially to help create diagrams and charts that can take information to a new level. Outside of the classroom, I like to hike and tend to my plants in my garden. Let me know if I can be of any service, either online or in a local coffee shop!

Rob

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +85 Subjects

I am a private tutor with over ten years of experience on the SATs, College Essays & Applications, English, History, Math, TOEFL, and the like. I have taught for over seven years, including at such prestigious institutions as Choate Rosemary Hall, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Fordham University with a triple major in English, Philosophy, and American studies. I have two masters' degrees, and am a certified teacher in the State of Massachusetts.As a tutor, I am both flexible and patient. No two students are the same, and therefore there is no "right approach" to tutoring. Rather, I try to meet students where they are, and find ways to help them accomplish whatever goals they have in mind, be it an SAT score, a better writing style, or a new approach to studying history. I have helped hundreds of students with SAT preparation, and have worked both around the United States and internationally as a private tutor and college counselor, so I am familiar with many different types of students, from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the various difficulties they face. In short, I work with students in many ways, depending on what the student him or herself needs.

Hannah

ACT Math Tutor • +22 Subjects

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. - Nelson MandelaI currently teach 8th grade math and Algebra 1. I have been teaching math at the middle school level for 4 years. At my current school I am the math department chair, which means I oversee the math department itinerary, provide information from the county to our school's math teachers, assist with curriculum professional development, keep a detail record of mathematics inventory such as calculators, manipulatives, and textbooks. I am also the soccer and softball coach for the past two years. For the past four years I tutored students after school. I have also been tutoring students for the past four years as an independent tutor. I tutored students from Kindergarten to 12th grade. These tutoring sessions varied from homework help to basic skills, one step and two step word problem decoding, one step equations to multi-step equations using manipulatives, pre-teaching skills that were soon to be introduced by the student's teacher, and many more skills that parents requested.Prior to working at the middle school level, I taught at an Elementary School for 5 years. Of those 5 years I taught 4th grade 3 years and 5th grade 2 years. 4 of the 5 years I spent tutoring after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Mondays and Wednesday I would spend time at the local library tutoring students in mathematics at the elementary school level.As a teacher I try to keep an equal balance of movement, peer engagement, mathematical discussion, practice, exploration of content in my lessons. I try to reach all needs of all my students and keep an open line of communication.

Jett

10th Grade Math Tutor • +78 Subjects

I am currently a sophomore electrical and computer engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin. I helped out as a general subject (math, science, history, etc.) tutor at Health Careers High School in San Antonio while I was a junior and senior as part of National Honor Society. My strong academic subject areas are math, particularly calculus, trigonometry, and algebra; although I do tutor up to all high school levels of math, computer science programming in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics. I really enjoy helping other people out because my motto is "ancora imparo," or "I am always learning." So if I can always learn something, I wish to help others learn and do better as well. My hobbies include exercise, sports, and playing video games, basically anything that engages the body or mind!

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.
