I am a Brown University graduate, dedicated to challenging students to reach their full potential and see the relevancy of every class, to their daily life and life goals. As a Tutor, I help students to set long and short-term academic goals. I work with them to develop metrics to measure learning and growth. The sessions that I conduct are tailored to the individual student and include creative approaches that incorporate their interests wherever possible. I enjoy working with middle school and high school students as well as adults looking to improve their quality of life or enrich their life through continuing education.I have more than 5 years of experience tutoring students in Reading, English, and Humanities courses at the high school and college level. I also prepared Native Chinese speakers for the SAT and TOEFL exam while I lived in Beijing, China. Additionally, I have worked with many students on college entrance and scholarship essays, one of my favorite things to work with students on. I graduated from Brown University without debt by fully funding my college education through merit based scholarships. I am a 2008 National Coca Cola Scholar and a Gates Millenium Scholar. I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in education policy and in my free time I love painting, cinema and staying abreast of current international news.

Dahlia

ACT Math Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at American University majoring in International Relations and minoring in Communications. I also completed the International Baccalaureate program and received my IB diploma. I love helping students achieve their goals and find that making a personal connection is incredibly important in engaging students and tutoring them. Most of my tutoring experience is with high school students, though I have worked as a science camp teacher for younger students as well. I find that my strongest subjects are math and history, though I have excelled in all of my courses and am open to helping students with what they need most. In my free time I love playing sports (soccer and basketball), doing yoga, and choreographing dances for AU's dance club.

Anton

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

I graduated 2013 from East Jackson Comprehensive High School with honors, and I’m currently attending the University of North Georgia pursuing a dual Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and Pre-med. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I plan to attend the University of Augusta to earn a dentistry degree.I started tutoring at my church helping students who needed help with honors and AP level chemistry. I now occasionally lead study groups of my current classmates for college level chemistry and physics courses, and I provide individual tutoring as well. My favorite subject would have to be chemistry, although I enjoy all science courses. Since chemistry is my favorite subject to learn about it is also my favorite subject to teach. I’ve always had a passion and great interest for learning chemistry and it’s always a pleasure for me to be able to share that with others. The reason it’s my favorite subject is just because I love learning what makes things “tick” or learning why things work and behave the way they do. I also enjoy physics for the same reason, making it a close second to chemistry. When I tutor I try to adapt my teaching technique to fit the way that works best for the student, however my overall style is to create a friendly and engaging atmosphere for the student so that they aren’t afraid to ask questions, and hopefully create a genuine interest for the student in the material.I usually spend most of my free time either playing video games or binge watching Netflix. Admittedly I usually way too into TV shows when I watch them so depending on if I’m in the middle of a series or not is usually what determines where most of my time goes. Some of my favorite shows include The Office, Dexter, Parks and Rec, Cosmos, The Flash, and Arrow. I do play a decent amount of video games as well, mostly on Xbox One. However I also love getting overly competitive playing some good old-fashioned Wii Sports.I really enjoy music. I was in band as a percussionist from middle school through most of high school, where I played in the pit during marching band season. I still enjoy playing music almost every week in my church band as well where I play the drums. The rest of my free time (which to be honest isn’t a whole lot) I usually find myself at a gym. Staying in shape and working out is important to me even if it isn’t my favorite thing to do.

Holly

College English Tutor • +35 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.A. in English and Film & Television Studies. I have had experience tutoring in a range of subjects; my passions are writing nonfiction and reading, so I especially love tutoring essay writing and critical reading.I am an extremely positive and patient tutor, but that doesn't mean I'm easy. To the credit of my students, I've witnessed much improvement in their study skills and reading comprehension. I firmly believe hard work and education will make a person the best he or she can be. I work as hard as I can to get my students to a place where they understand the best ways for them to learn, and I aim to inspire a lifetime love of learning!When I'm not tutoring, reading, or writing, you'll most likely find me attempting a new DIY craft project, baking a pie, or attending a theatrical production.

Mary

ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

Originally from Toronto, I graduated from the University of Rochester in May 2015 with a B.S. in Neuroscience, a minor in French, and a minor in Music. I studied piano performance at the Eastman School of Music, volunteered as an EMT with the University of Rochester Medical Emergency Response Team, and spent a year on the Varsity Field Hockey Team. I also spent my time volunteering as a member of Delta Gamma for the Service for Sight Foundation. I was lucky enough to have spent a semester abroad in Paris, capitalizing on the availability of French pastries and museum access. After spending time as a Teaching Assistant for Biology and Organic Chemistry Lab in college, I discovered a passion for teaching. I am currently a full time Teaching Assistant for the Americorps- affiliated program Blue Engine, teaching Algebra I at an arts high school in the Bronx. I am planning on applying to medical school in the hopes of someday becoming a neurologist. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga, painting, and driving my bright orange motorcycle.

Ayse

10th Grade Tutor • +95 Subjects

My passion is education. I have taught in three countries in three languages to a wide range of students at universities, non-profits and private companies. I have a knack for making the difficult seem easy and interesting. My aim is to ensure that each student leaves our sessions feeling confident enough that they know they can easily tackle the next level in their school curriculum without feeling overwhelmed. Our sessions are light and jovial in tone, yet focused and deliberate in approach. I hold a B.A. in Economics from Emory University and a Masters degree and PhD coursework in Art History. When I am not working, I love to explore New York City and discover new things about it. Writing excites me, and I am working on a book about my experiences overseas. I am also very athletic. Having completed two marathons, you can say I enjoy a good run. I love being on the water and know how to sail.

Pooja

Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a graduate of Indiana University who majored in Public Policy and Law and minored in International Studies. I'm heading to Law School in the fall of 2021. I decided to start tutoring after my brother had a positive experience on this platform and after a whole semester of helping pre-law students in my chapter organization. They were always intrigued on how I got through the infamous Logic Games. The attitude of "Beat the Mountain". I used this in study sessions with my peers in BC Calc and Algebra in High School and it comes in super helpful in the LSAT, because once, you find that one "difficult situation" and figure it out, it'll make the entire set in question that much easier. Something I learned long ago, while you may go to school for academics, do not forget to get educated along the way.

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.
