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 a great tutor because I am young and enthusiastic. I can relate to the kids I tutor because I recently experienced the classes and standardized tests that they are taking.

I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor.

Learning has always been my passion. When I was in elementary school, I would write down the names of all my favorite books and compile it in a journal so I could remember for later.Even now, 13 years later, I still do that. I hope to carry that same passion for learning through my tutoring classes ...

Alexandra
Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects
I've been tutoring junior high and high school students since 2010. I have strong background in Biology, Chemistry and Algebra from completing Pre-Med classes during my time there. I also am skilled in Spanish grammar and conversation from completing a Spanish Language minor. Those I have tutored have averaged a 20 point increase in test scores and their overall average. I specialize in homework help and prepping students for tests. When teaching, I'm very hands on and write out notes and examples on paper as I explain concepts and work through problem questions. The notes I write are yours to keep when I am done, so you can keep them to review on your own at any time. I tend to incorporate practice problems into my lesson to reinforce what I've explained, because I truly believe practice makes perfect. Success in any subject can come with enough practice and with enough time spent talking through key concepts.I have additional experience in the classroom from working as a remedial math and literacy teacher for elementary school students. I've also worked as a health education teacher in NYC public high schools.In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, reading and playing video games. I love spending time with my friends and also with my two dogs and cat.
Mark
Elementary School Math Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am currently a 6th and 8th grade Collaborative/ Special Education teacher in Ridgewood, NJ. I hold two teaching degrees; A Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education (K-5) and Special Education (K-12). Upon graduating from Misericordia University in Dallas Pennsylvania 6 years ago, I was hired by the district to be an instructional aide. Half way through the school year I was promoted to the position I currently hold.In addition to my teaching job, I coach High School basketball in a neighboring town. I also have experience tutoring two brothers while they were middle school students.I would describe my tutoring/ teaching strategy as one that focuses on the learning style of the student I am working with. I feel that I am very adaptable and do an excellent job of reaching the students I work with everyday. Students I work with on a regular basis become more confident, organized, and are better prepared to be independent learners.

Conversational German Tutor • +13 Subjects
As a recent graduate from Marquette University, where I majored in journalism and German language, it is my life's goal to take full advantage of the German and English skills I have accrued throughout my 25 years. By effectively bridging the linguistic gap that often unnecessarily separates us, I can make the world a smaller place.With my experience, I have more than what it takes to excel in whatever workplace I may find myself, wherever it may be and for whomever I may be working. I am steadfast and never deterred by adversity; if these qualities sound even remotely appealing, do not hesitate to send me a private message expressing your interest in working with me.Additional notes:Certified Goethe Institute B-2 level, fluent German language speaker, studied abroad in Frankfurt, Germany for a year (Sep. 2013 to July 2014) and in Dsseldorf, Germany for a month (May 2012 to June 2012), plus worked in Austria as well as in Germany for four separate companies, exploiting my German skills to their maximum capabilities.Published ten separate times for various publications, including video game website, Bitmob.com, lifestyle website, EliteDaily.com and automotive websites, FluidMotorUnion.com, TheSmokingTire.com and BuildRaceParty.comFounded MarquetteMotors, a brand dedicated to covering the automotive industry, the latest cars and trends, professional racing, my own amateur racing career, as well as the automotive media.
David
10th Grade Reading Tutor • +59 Subjects
I am a passionate educator with over eight years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have worked with many different kinds of learners during my career as a public school teacher, and I understand that every student has their own unique way of growing and of mastering skills. I have experience teaching a wide variety of literature and non-fiction texts and am very familiar with the Common Core and its emphasis on research skills. I especially enjoy teaching writing; I myself love to write and I teach students a clear process for approaching challenging essay assignments. Above all, I believe that learning should be meaningful and enjoyable and that any academic task is part of a student's personal journey of discovery.My undergraduate education at Columbia University gave me a thorough understanding of British, American, Latino, and African-American literature. My Master of Arts program in Adolescent English Education at Hunter College has enhanced my knowledge of literature while also covering the teaching skills that allow me to help students to master difficult concepts.I am a confident teacher of test preparation skills. I provide reading and writing strategies that empower students to perform at a high level on selected-response, short response, and essay questions. I emphasize the importance of analyzing test questions and passages so that students have a clear "plan of attack" on test day.My personal interests include playing guitar, songwriting, Tai Chi, and meditation.
Sonia
Conversational Spanish Tutor • +33 Subjects
I have a passion for learning and teaching languages and would like to infuse my students with that same enthusiasm. Language learning is not an easy task and with our day to day life, it is even more difficult to do something that is not easy. I hope my students see class time as an enjoyable way to have contact with a foreign language and learn as a byproduct of that fun experience.Now, a little bit more about me. I got my BA in Spanish Language and Literature from the University of Oregon and after having lived in Spain for over 13 years I also got a Masters Degree in Secondary Education, Vocational Training and Language Teaching Specialising in Spanish Language and Literature from the Universidad de Valencia, in Spain. During those 13 years spent in Spain I taught English to students from age 5-55, working in schools, after school programs, company classes, vocational training schools, and individuals who wanted to learn English. As far as extra curricular activities, I do it all. I like being outdoors and travelling, I run, cycle, hike, ski, camp. I like to paint, and read, watch movies. I love to talk to people and socialize as well as learn about different cultures and traditions when I travel. I am a fun, happy, out-going person and I feel I synchronize well with people, which, by the way, makes me a good teacher. :)Concerning my teaching philosophy and my tutoring style, I would say that great educators give students the tools they need in order to empower the student to learn and interact with the world on their own. I try to explain the material at hand, give the student the opportunity to use it, experiment with it, do a few study exercises to build a good foundation, and then let them explore ways to give it meaning, by way of projects, or role plays, games, or real life encounters. A person can learn theory about a language on their own, but the reason why they seek out a tutor or an instructor is for the interaction, that is where I come in, I act as a facilitator and a guide so that the student can engage their own imagination to really learn.

Caitlyn
Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am currently a first year medical student at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX. In 2020, I graduated with Magna Cum Laude and Honors with a Bachelor in Science in Biology from Texas Christian University. Along with my Biology major, I minored in Chemistry, Spanish for the Health Professions, and Cultural Awareness in Health and Healthcare. I am passionate about learning, which is one of the reasons I enjoy tutoring and helping other students learn. My tutoring style is tailored to each student, but I find that the best way to teach is to explain the concept, answer questions, and then have the student explain the concept back to me in order to ensure they retain the knowledge. I also enjoy providing study tips for how to learn scientific concepts more effectively, and more specifically, how to successfully study for high level science courses or the MCAT.
Devin
ACT Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects
I graduated from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor's degree in Physics through the Honors College program. I've also taught AP Physics and general science at Upper Room Christian School for one year. In my experience, I've heard many students say they can't or they're too "stupid" to do something. I believe that no student is unintelligent or incapable. Everyone is more than able, through some effort and a little bit of help, to achieve any goal in life, academic or otherwise. My goal is to help people achieve and realize the potential that lies inside of them.In addition to Science and Math, I also have an interest in music (guitar) and English and am available to tutor in those subjects as well.
Ashley
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am currently a Mathematical Finance and Marketing major at Seton Hall University. With past experience as a math tutor and my academic credentials, I've always enjoyed teaching subjects I am most comfortable with to others. If it wasn't for tutors who have helped me in the past, I would not be where I am today and I hope to have the same impact on those younger than me.

Biology Tutor • +7 Subjects
Education provides access to opportunities. We can't be prepared for opportunities if we are not educated. I became a teacher because I believe in the power of education and what it can do for those who possess it. I love everything about teaching and learning, and I enjoy sharing that with my students! Any subject can become fun once you learn how to approach it. So, let's take this opportunity to create a fun approach to learning science.

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.
