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...

Sherrie

Comparative Literature Tutor • +22 Subjects

I taught public school 6th, 7th, and 8th graders for 10 years and loved it! The students I worked with were unique in that they had realized many areas where they excelled, but they really needed someone who could motivate them and boost their confidence in their weaker areas. I have currently taught kindergarten for the past 14 years, and I also love this group of learners! Going through the process of teaching them to read is a passion of mine, and seeing that look on their face when they get it, they know they are "READERS!"; it's priceless! My own daughter struggles with dyslexia, so working with her has given me lots of insight into the patience and different teaching approaches I need to use to help each individual student reach their goals. I am very patient and work with each child to learn their strengths and then work with those strengths to help them succeed.

Allison

Analytical Chemistry Tutor • +5 Subjects

Hi, my name is Allison, and I am a fifth year Ph. D. candidate in the chemistry department at the University of Florida. I have worked with high school and college level chemistry students, and I am willing to meet you where you are at in chemistry. If you are willing to work to learn it, I will match that effort to help you learn it. When I work with students I prefer to work in smaller groups, so that I can better address your specific concerns and areas where you want help. After having been a TA for three years and tutoring for five, I have learned that there are many ways to present a concept, and some ways of explaining things make more sense than others to some people. I am flexible with how I present information and will work to do it in a way that maximizes your ability to understand the material. I have also gained a series of tips and tricks that help to keep easily confused information straight. As a tutor I want it to be enjoyable, but I want you to learn also, so I typically have a focused but relaxed tutoring environment.

Christa

ACT Writing Tutor • +15 Subjects

I have always had a passion for working with young people. I worked for the Baton Rouge Youth Coalition throughout my entire college career helping students in math. One of my greatest joys was seeing my students improve academically and celebrating with them as they gained admission to the colleges of their dreams. My involvement with the young people at BRYC as a teacher, mentor, and friend over the years has been some of the most meaningful work I have been involved in and I would love to continue that work with students in Houston.I had the opportunity to teach a section of Honors 1000 undergraduate students which made me more sensitive to the needs of college students academically and socially and my first job out of college involved working with young people at the Posse Foundation as a Trainer. In that role I served as a mentor, counselor, tutor, college advisor, and friend. I developed and strengthened many of my skills at that time including my skills at facilitating workshops and developing lesson plans, my verbal, written, and public speaking communication skills, time management, and my ability to organize and prioritize tasks in a dynamic working environment with people from diverse backgrounds.I believe that my skill set and experience working with young people would be particularly helpful in working as a Varsity Tutor and I am hopeful that I will be able to share my knowledge with you. Thank you!

Becky

ACT English Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from Siena College and I am now currently living in New Jersey for the summer. At Siena, I was a biology major and a religious studies minor. I also wrote a senior thesis that was primarily focused on social psychology. In the fall, I will be starting law school at Notre Dame Law School, and will hopefully attain my J.D in the next few years. Aside from my academic interests, I also enjoy traveling and photography, as well as learning about other cultures. I also enjoy finding cool coffee shops, going on hikes, and practicing yoga.In the past, I have tutored students through Kumon Education Company. I have also been a teaching assistant for a scientific writing class, as well as tutored peers throughout my undergrad. I also was given the opportunity to teach English in Bolivia last summer. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and English, because I think both subjects can be mastered through practice, and don't necessarily require memorization. I believe that in order for someone to master a subject, he or she must practice the methods necessary to do so, and be able to solve the problems individually.

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.
