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...

Rebecca
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +21 Subjects
Comfort is key. If a student isn't comfortable enough to ask for clarification, they won't learn to their fullest potential.I've formally learned Latin for 3 years, French for 4 years, and Spanish for 7 years. With all my time as a student, I've been in the situation where I was too afraid to ask questions, lest I look a little dumb in front of my teacher and peers. This is why, during the last three years up to the present, as a tutor I focus primarily on a welcoming environment. If you are comfortable with your surroundings and with your tutor, you can more easily learn any language!I earned my B.A. from Willamette University in Spanish, French, and Anthropology. Because linguistics is my passion, I became a tutor so I can help students improve in the language they are studying, whether it's for a language requirement or it's for their own understanding and comprehension in communicatin in the language.I tutor Spanish, French, Latin, and ESL to almost any level. This includes those who are currently taking language learning courses, or those who want to learn a language in their free time! I can help with your curriculum (explaining textbooks, homework, essays, etc.) and/or make lesson plans specific to your needs.I have the most experience aiding young adults. I'm happy to work with middle school levels and upward. My tutoring style emphasizes grammar first - because of this, I usually do not practice with younger children in an immersion-style process, though I do, very much, encourage it. Conversation is an essential aspect of learning a language, and I love to help students who are learning a foreign language with conversation, but I can only help if they're learning the grammar behind it as well.Let me know what you're studying and I'll be happy to help, even just as a study buddy. I tutor online and in-person (in a public space, usually Starbucks)!

I am a lover of learning, especially mathematics. I believe students learn best from people they like, so I always make it a point to build relationships with students and treating them with respect and dignity. I also believe that students learn through different means, so I differentiate instruction to meet the needs of the students. I look forward to meeting all of the wonderful students who want to learn math in exciting way and engaging ways!

ACCUPLACER Arithmetic Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am a licensed teacher in the Philippines and have been in the industry for 14 years. I have taught Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Statistics and Probability. I earned my bachelor's degree from one of the state universities in the Philippines. I finished all the academic units in my graduate studies where I completed my Master of Arts in Education in Mathematics. Aside from being a classroom teacher back in the Philippines, I used to be a math coach where I trained my students for schools' competition and won several awards. I also conducted review sessions for my students who were going to take college entrance exams. Most of them passed and are now graduates of some prestigious universities in the Philippines.I am now establishing my career here in the US as an online tutor. You can rely on me as I am a hardworking, dedicated and passionate teacher. It is my pleasure to be of great help to you. Your success is also my success!

Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects
Having studied at Georgia Tech for over four years now, I have had my fair share of physics and mathematics courses. From differential equations to radiation physics, I have loved every minute of my education. I received my Bachelor's degree from Georgia Tech in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering, and could not stay away! I am currently working towards my Master's degree in Medical Physics at Tech as well. Organization, drive, and a balanced life has been the key to my success. You have to work to achieve your goals, and why not save yourself some time for fun and relaxation in between by being organized! I hope I can teach these kind of principles in addition to the academic material!

I am a graduate of Wittenberg University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology.

Meghan
ACT English Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am a current undergraduate honors student at Hofstra University. I am working towards receiving my BA in English Education, with minors in history and creative writing. I am pursuing my degree in English Education in order to become a high school English teacher. I am passionate about literature, and want to share my excitement with students. I tutor in almost all things English, including reading, writing, and test prep. My personal favorite thing to tutor is essay editing, because I love to see students' thoughts on certain subjects, and explore their writing styles.My personal favorite books include 'The Great Gatsby', 'A Tale of Two Cities', and 'The Catcher in the Rye'. I spend most of my free time reading classics I haven't covered yet, or writing what I hope to be the next great American novel!Literature is how people share ideas and stories in fresh ways, and there are always new things to notice in even the oldest readings. And of course, writing is perhaps the most precise and sometimes personal way to communicate. The world needs good writers in all fields. I want to help students become the best readers and writers they can be, so that there are only open doors for them looking ahead. I accomplish this through patience, practice, and a flexible teaching method that allows students to take charge of their education.

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects
I graduated with a Bachelor's of arts in German from Bowling Green State University in the spring of 2014. During my undergraduate program, I spent a year studying abroad in Salzburg, Austria, where I took college classes in German and effectively interacted in German in my daily life.As a tutor, I am trained in current teaching methods and have experience adapting lesson structures to student strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. I am trained in lesson planning, instruction, assessment, and using assessment data to guide further lessons through City Year, Inc. I have used assessments and a quick review question for the last session to tell me what the student still needs help with or if we are ready to move on to something else. As a tutor with City Year, I also gained hands-on experience tutoring a diverse group of students in a variety of subjects and supported students in Algebra and Physical Science classrooms. Additionally, after school, I also started to teach one student the basics of the German language. By the end of the year, we were starting every day with greetings and a simple conversation in German.I am looking forward to sharing the wonders of German and teaching the language, I would also love to tutor algebra as well as middle school science and math. I look forward to working with you.

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.
