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...

I am also completely my Masters in Instructional design, specifically related to accessibility for online learning.As an avid learner and adventurer, I love sharing my knowledge with children, teens and adults alike.

After graduating from Illinois State University in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education, I found my "home" at a large, urban junior high where I still teach today. In addition to being a 7th and 8th grade math teacher, I am also a Lead Teacher at my school, a member of my district's Leadership Team, and an independent contractor with a prestigious university, where I facilitate and lead professional development seminars for other math teachers. I also have many years of experience in tutoring students in science, social studies, and organization/study skills.During my time at my school I have discovered my passion for making mathematics accessible and appropriately challenging for all students. Every student is different, and I pride myself in my ability to tailor my lessons and methods of instruction to meet each student's individual strengths and needs. It is my personal goal to make kids see that math is interesting, not scary, and that it is OK to struggle with it sometimes. The way that we learned math when we were in school years ago is drastically different from how I run my classroom and tutoring sessions. I encourage conversations about math, use of manipulatives and games, and I even encourage productive struggle! I use strategic questioning and visuals to guide my students through their struggle to help them realize with some hard work and focus, they can and will understand the material.Learning is fun and finally grasping that concept that has boggled your mind for so long is an extremely satisfying feeling! I look forward to working with your family and passing my love of learning along to your children.

I graduated from Rutgers School of Law in Camden, and have sat for both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Bar Exams. Before attending law school I graduated from Rutgers in New Brunswick with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting. I am originally from Hillsdale, NJ and grew up in Bergen County, NJ.My education and professional experiences enable me to tutor a variety of subjects, from math to business to liberal arts to standardized testing (LSAT and SAT). I have interned for an international accounting firm, a NJ appeals judge, an internal auditing firm and a real estate attorney's office. I have developed my leadership and organization skills while working in fast-paced and more relaxed employers. My tutoring experience includes tutoring undergraduate accounting students, other undergraduates while I was completing my law degree, and teaching the SAT for a national test prep company.In my free time, I like to explore Philadelphia's restaurants. I am a huge foodie and enjoy trying new cuisines and cooking. I enjoy running, keeping active, golf and traveling.

ACT Writing Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies and Economics. In high school, I successfully completed the International Baccalaureate program and graduated with 39/45 possible points. Additionally, I received the AP Scholar with Distinction award, for passing six AP courses.I am passionate about helping students because I was helped as a student, so I understand how frustrating it is to not understand something, and I know how valuable it is to have personalized, one-on-one assistance. Additionally, I am an idealistic young man who believes that education is the key to saving this democracy, so helping to shape young minds would be morally rewarding for me as well.As a graduate of the IB Program, and having taken many AP Courses, I know those curriculums inside and out, and would be very comfortable tutoring for any IB/AP course that I completed. Additionally, having just completed the Economics degree at Columbia, I am also well equipped to tutor for microeconomics, macroeconomics, and most mathematics courses. Otherwise, my favorite subject to tutor would definitely be English and Creative Writing. I am especially well-equipped to help workshop/revise college admission essays, because I went through that whole process with a college prep program, so I know all of the strategies to maximize the likelihood of admission.In my spare time, I enjoy watching films, writing films, running, and reading.
Helen
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +21 Subjects
I graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in Finance and a focus on Music Recording. I've tutored math(algebra, Pre-calc, calc) English, Chinese, vocal, and college applications mostly to friends and families. As a tutor, I like to get to know my students first, with their personalities, their preferred learning methods, and their goals from taking lessons with me; and build my future lessons from there. For the past few years, I have worked as a TA at Rutgers University Chinese department as a native Chinese speaker, and I strive to better my student's skills in Chinese, by improving their speaking skills, giving them tips on how to better use tones, and also tactics on memorizing hard vocabularies. I always strive to make my lessons fun, and I try to cover the parts that are less focused on in class, such as speaking skills, so I can improve my students in all areas. I've also had extensive experience in tutoring my friends, who are mostly international students, with their papers in college writing classes. I also offer help on math subjects, since math has always been my strongest subject. As a vocalist, who also raps, I tutored my friends, who had trouble with singing in tune, on music projects.
Emily

I taught English and creative writing for several years during my graduate work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, including first-year English writing courses. I am passionate about helping students of all ages improve their writing skills. I love leading students through the writing process to produce great papers and college application essays, as well as study for AP and SAT exams. I can also help with personal statements for graduate school applications, including the creative writing MFA.Awards and Fellowships at UW-Madison:Campus-wide Teaching Assistant award for Innovation in Teaching, an award given to 15 grad students out of 2200 TAsUniversity Housing teaching award, a student-nominated honorDavid Maraniss Fellow at the School of Journalism and Mass CommunicationHoffman-Halls Emerging Artist Fellow at the Wisconsin Institute for Creative WritingIn addition to my experience in academia, MFA in creative writing, and MA in journalism, I have over a decade of experience as a magazine writer and editor. Tutoring mirrors publishing, in that they're both collaborative efforts to train stronger writers to write refined prose. Great progress can be made this way.I teach writing as a process by encouraging students to embrace drafting. We take time to understand the project, brainstorm, follow idea threads, and write first drafts. Then the feedback and revision process begins, which leads to a final, polished piece. I can help at any point on this timeline.I'm excited to help both high school and college students with academic work and test prep, and I can also give you feedback one-on-one with your fiction or poetry project.Please contact me to learn more and schedule lessons."[Emily] is always positive and always has wonderful constructive criticism for my essays. She makes me feel as though she takes time to learn my writing style and genuinely cares about my success in the class. This class has made me enjoy English after hating it for all of high school." --UW-Madison student evaluation

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.
