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...

Margaret
College English Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am a graduate from The University of Alabama where I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. Until very recently, I have been working as a lead elementary school teacher in Atlanta, GA. During this time, I enjoyed teaching both fifth and second grades. I was responsible for teaching and planning all subjects. Before and after school, I had the opportunity to tutor students individually. The experience of seeing academic and emotional progress in a child is remarkable and very rewarding.In August 2013, my husband was accepted a wonderful career opportunity in Miami. I gladly joined him at the beginning of December. While it was very hard leaving my classroom behind, I am very excited about starting a life here in Miami, and I know I will have a positive and memorable impact on children. My passion lies in the world of education. I am fascinated and determined to find ways to better myself as an educator, and I always provide a positive and welcoming learning environment for students. My organizational skills, patience, creativity and flexibility will help me to be an asset to any child I can assist. When I am not teaching or tutoring, I am spending time with my husband and dog, Townes, designing floral arrangements, cooking, doing yoga, reading, or I am at the beach.

Rachel
Biochemistry Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a PhD candidate at Thomas Jefferson University studying prostate cancer cell and molecular biology. I have always been fascinated by the way our world works. During my undergraduate career I experienced the joy of passing that knowledge to others through teaching assistantships in functional anatomy and leading workshops in general chemistry. I have privately tutored in both subjects and I also have experience working with middle school students and teaching basic science and experimental methods. Whether your future career involves science or not, I am committed to helping student understanding of biology and chemistry fundamentals and employ a combination of active and visual learning techniques to supplement the textbook material. I am passionate about making the sciences approachable, as introductory courses in the area can be intimidating

Jessica
Elementary School Tutor • +9 Subjects
Knowledge is power. I believe that my purpose in life is to educate students so that they may have the knowledge needed to change the world. I obtained my bachelors degree from Wiley College in Sociology. I then attended Relay Graduate School of Education to obtain a Masters degree in Teaching. I am certified to teach English, Math, Science and Social Studies for grades K-6th. I am passionate about tutoring students in both Reading and Math because these subjects are the foundations of everything that we do in life. I have been a teacher for 4 years but I have been tutoring for almost 10 years. After you finish a session with me, it is my hope that you know more information than you began with. I hope that you have multiple "ah-ha" and "light bulb" moments, but most importantly I hope you leave knowing that you are an amazing person that can accomplish anything that you put your mind to.

I aspire to not just assist students in accomplishing their learning goals, but to make them feel comfortable their abilities far beyond my time working with them.In my free time, I love to bake and cook, read, hike, and am on the slow journey of teaching myself to play the guitar!

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.
