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 student at Tufts University studying Peace and Justice Studies and Sociology. I have a variety of experience tutoring K-12 students in all academic subjects.

Jonathan

Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2016. Since then, I have been a process engineer at a major oil and gas company in the Houston, TX area. As a chemical engineer, I have extensive experience with developing heat/material balances, troubleshooting and optimizing heat and mass transfer equipment, and using process simulation software.Outside of chemical engineering-specific areas, I am able to tutor in most math, chemistry, and physics subjects at levels from middle school through college. I can also provide tutoring in some SAT and SAT 2 subject tests. My favorite subject to tutor is math. I have loved math for as long as I can remember. To me, solving a math problem is like solving any other problem in life - you combine the information you are given, assumptions you can make, and your expertise and prior knowledge to derive a conclusion. I appreciate being able to help students develop these types problem solving skills through math because of how applicable they are to non-math scenarios.

Brendon

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a Computer Science-Statistics and Psychology double major at Columbia University. I have been a tutor for three years, specializing in college-bound high school students and middle school children. While I have experience tutoring many subjects, my favorites are Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. I did not discover my passion for these subjects until college (I was admitted to Columbia as pre-law for my writing), and I wish I had been exposed to the fun aspects of these subjects at younger age. Often we are discouraged from science and math while young by phrases like "I'm just not a math person," when the reality is that everybody learns math differently. These subjects are my favorite to tutor because it is incredibly rewarding to facilitate a previously-struggling student's confidence and understanding.

Amanda

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I doubled majored in both Applied Mathematics and Psychology. I started my journey of tutoring when I was in high school. During my high school years, I started as a volunteer at a tutoring center assisting Kindergarten kids to 3rd graders with Math, English, and Art. Slowly, I became an afterschool tutor and loved the fulfilling feeling after seeing my student's betterment. Moving on to college, I carried on that passion for tutoring and become a Teacher Assistant for both Multivariable Calculus and Financial Mathematics classes to help my peers with their questions on class materials. After graduating from college, I helped my friend in prepping for her GRE because I wanted her to study more effectively for the test instead of wasting time trying out different studying techniques and various test prep materials.While I tutored a broad range of subjects, I am the most passionate about tutoring math as I have firm confidence in my knowledge of mathematics, and I mostly helped students with their math courses. During my tutoring experiences, I am a tutor who likes to utilize examples and real-life scenarios in my explanation.

Jennie

ACT English Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a University of Iowa graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Marketing. While at UI, I tutored fellow students in Writing and developed a passion for helping others to channel their strengths in areas where they may not yet excel. I have also worked heavily with ELL students on both academic and cultural understanding, and continue to enjoy working with students of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and ages. Every student learns differently, and as a tutor, I create a positive, comfortable learning environment and address students' needs based on their personalities and individual learning styles. Within the next couple of years, I am planning to pursue a masters or doctorate degree in Anthropology with a focus on Social Institutions. 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.
