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...

Adam
ACT Prep Tutor • +21 Subjects
My passion for teaching and creating outstanding educational opportunities for all students has guided my career. Not only have I worked as a teacher and an advocate, but I have modeled the importance of education by earning three Master's degrees: an MBA from Columbia Business School, an MA in Education Leadership from Teachers College at Columbia University, and an MA in Teaching Adolescent Math from Pace University.My formal teaching experience began in 1999, when I managed and taught reading, writing, and math skills at a tutoring center. From there, I went on to graduate school, which I followed with two years teaching middle and high school math in New York City Public Schools. During graduate school, having scored in the 98th percentile with a perfect writing score, I became certified to teach the GMAT by a private test preparation company, and taught that test to several small classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn.I am in the process of launching a small business. So in my spare time, I want to continue connecting to students by tutoring various subjects from math to English to test prep. As for test prep, I believe that most standardized tests don't test your ability in their stated subjects as much as they do your ability to take those tests. Therefore, it is critically important to teach not just the basic skills, but the ability to succeed on the test as well. I have been very successful in significantly raising students' scores in the past, and I look forward to doing the same for you.When I'm not teaching, my hobbies are skiing, boating, and spending time with my two young boys.

Isabel
Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects
Hi! My name is Isabel. I'm a rising junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was born and raised in Charlotte, NC, and I love helping others understand new subjects.I am currently studying biology and public policy at UNC-Chapel Hill. I've excelled in many STEM areas, such as mathematics through the calculus level, as well as genetics and basic biology. I have tutored algebra recently, and I enjoy it! Mathematics is a fun subject to help others learn because although the concepts may be difficult, it is definitely a subject that can be mastered if practiced enough, and I love seeing how excited my students get when they fully understand a concept! Of course, I am excited to help you understand the subject at hand, and I will continue working with you until you reach success.
Jamil
10th Grade Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am a rising senior at Stony Brook University and I have just taken my Dental Admissions Test (DAT). Working with students and meeting their needs has been a major part of my life outside of school. I worked at a local tutorial while I attended Brooklyn Technical High School after taking the Specialized High School Exam (SHSAT). I taught the math portion of the SHSAT examination for multiple years and it was a rewarding experience for me as I saw many of my students get into their high school of choice. After high school, I entered Stony Brook University and had the pleasure of being a Teaching Assistant for Honors Chemistry. I will be finishing up my Bachelor's in Pharmacology and entering Dental School in the following year. Through my knowledge and years of practice in core and essential subjects such as math, chemistry, biology, and organic chemistry, I can help make your life much easier. I believe the best method for learning is understanding the concepts rather than memorizing it and this has proved to be rewarding in many ways, especially long term. Let me use my years of experience to help you understand in the most short, simple and straightforward manner possible.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Elem.Ed./Early Childhood from Northwest Missouri State University. Three years later I obtained my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from William Woods University. Later that same year, I received my certification in Special Education grades K-12.Over the last 20 years, I have taught/worked with all grades K-12. I have taught in both public and private schools, and I am currently teaching in a residential therapeutic school. I definitely enjoy new challenges and working with a wide variety of students!Although I love working with all students, I am most passionate about working with elementary/middle school students who are struggling in the areas of math, reading/writing, and language. With my wide range of experience and knowledge, Im able to personalize a plan of study for your child, and then work closely with you and your child to reach their goals.My belief in education is very solid. In order for a child to have success in their lives, they first need to have an appreciation for learning, and experience the rewards of that learning. As your childs tutor, I will help to bridge the gap between your childs learning and success. With my enthusiasm and dedication, your child will be able to learn through a variety of teaching techniques and fun learning activities!
Rachel
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I believe every student has the ability to learn and thrive. This belief drives my teaching. I have eight years experience tutoring full-time at the community college remedial level. I have also volunteered as a tutor for underprivileged middle school and high school students. I am comfortable tutoring those who are gifted as well as those with learning disabilities.I tutor a wide range of subjects, but am most passionate about Computer Science, Math, and Test Prep. These are all subjects in which a student can feel completely lost or stuck. In my experience, the small steps which can easily be gained in these subjects make a huge difference. The results are noticeable and applicable.I am a lifelong learner and am always reading/learning new things. I love theater, knitting, and technology. I am a graduate of Rowan University and Montclair State University earning a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Education and a Master of Arts in Theater Studies.

Greg
Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects
I graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1994 and began my teaching career right after that. I have taught all levels of High School Mathematics, from Pre-Algebra all the way through AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics, as well as adjunct teaching at the Community College level. I work hard at making Math easier for students to understand, and realize that helping students make sense of the logic is imperative to success. I use a variety of methods while tutoring, including the use of manipulatives and dialogue to help students gain concrete understanding of topics. While not in school, I enjoy singing and playing my piano and guitar, as well as the occasional round of golf. I am also a volleyball official and can be found many weekends at the local courts (both indoor and outdoor) honing my craft.
Sarah
ACT Writing Tutor • +15 Subjects
I teach college writing in the Philadelphia region to both native English speakers and English language learners. I love helping students of all ages to develop passion and responsibility for their studies.In addition to classroom teaching, I have tutored middle school, high school, and college students (both traditional-age students and returning adult students) through area colleges and non-profit organizations.My tutoring style comes from my understanding and experience of the learning process. In order to improve their skills, students need motivation (a sense of the rewards and excitement of learning), practice, and mentorship. For each student, these three elements come in different forms, and as a tutor, my job is to provide an "in" to the subject matter for each individual. In other words, one size does not fit all, and I tailor my approach based on students' personalities and needs.My clients and colleagues often describe me as approachable, insightful, reliable, and trustworthy.In my free time, I enjoy biking, hiking, reading, writing, watching films and travelling.

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.
