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...

Alan

ACT Math Tutor • +57 Subjects

Hello, my name is Alan, and I would love to help you in any areas in which I have expertise. I am adept at most any type of math and most any type of language. I do enjoy math, yet I love to read literature and to write.Learning is best when it is fun, and when it is adapted to the learner at hand. I am always interested in hearing what the learner is thinking because I think a lot can be learned from listening to how an individual is arriving at a given perspective.I taught for several years through an organization called Teach For America, and I later earned my master's in education from Harvard University. I was even able to earn a Teacher of the Year award for my school, my city, and then my county. But a lot more important than awards or degrees is that I genuinely have a good time working with students of all ages. Learning itself is fun, and there is often a lot of humor and reward along the way as well!If you think I might be of help to you, I look forward to hearing from you.

Chris

ACT Writing Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a rising senior at Emory University studying Quantitative Neuroscience with a minor in Spanish. I have been a tutor for Spanish, math, and chemistry since high school, where I was a coteacher for AP Spanish Literature and Culture during my junior year. My favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish and calculus--I love to show the visual side of math and the reasoning behind concepts in Spanish, such as the subjunctive. Too often, I think math is taught as theoretical concepts when it is also quite visual, and I've seen graphing approaches be very helpful for my students. Similarly, Spanish is sometimes taught via memorization, but there are many ways to simplify Spanish by learning how to think about it differently. I'm passionate about teaching students effective ways to learn and even appreciate these difficult subjects.

Christy

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +33 Subjects

I learned Spanish while living as an exchange student in Ecuador the year before I went to college (1989-1990). I became fluent during that time. I worked as an Assistant Teacher to the Spanish Department while studying at Davidson College and enjoyed getting to know the students & expanding their understanding of the Spanish language & the Latin American culture. I had the privilege of studying in Spain during my Junior year, which deepened my appreciation for the roots of the language. I worked as a Spanish/English interpreter for the Orange County courts as my Summer job during those years. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share what I learned.

I am a senior at Loyola University Chicago studying chemistry with a math minor. I have worked as a tutor at a K-8 school for the past three years. At this school, I am also the Science Olympiad coach where I teach a range of different science events. As a tutor, I come up with plans to help students achieve their goals based on their age, the subject, and their desire for improvement in certain areas. Math and science are my strong suit and what I am most passionate about tutoring. I want to use my experience to help my students learn how to tackle any problem that comes their way!

Jacqueline

College English Tutor • +20 Subjects

I'm a graduate of Arcadia University where I earned my B.A. in Political Science with a concentration in International Politics. I also minored in French and Theatre. I studied abroad at the Universite de Paris - Sorbonne and with Kent University in Geneva, Switzerland. Just recently I became certified in ESL - although I have been teaching English longer than that. My background in tutoring is in French, Spanish, and ESL. I also have experience editing and proofreading major blogs and student papers. I have a strong background in history as well due to my degree. My philosophy is to mold to the student and their style of learning. I try to link the subject to something you're interested in if possible and give you the confidence you need to really excel at that subject. I like tutoring because these are subjects that I enjoy and if I can help you break the wall that hindears you from understanding them then I can help you enjoy them too. Outside of academics, I love reading, traveling, spending time with my animals, and watching British tv shows. My newest hobby is figuring out how to use my sewing machine. I am also severely addicted to Pinterest.

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.
