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'm a current sophomore at Rice University studying Economics and Data Science. I'm an avid learner and am interested in anything from politics and foreign affairs to the technological capabilities we currently harness to solve big social issues (data-related or not). I've worked in both bioengineering-oriented lab settings as well as Model UN; I think this has offered me a unique way to study the world around me in an interdisciplinary manner. I'm excited to work with you all!I specialize in tutoring the following subjects: English/writing, math (anywhere from Pre-Algebra to Calculus I), economics, and elementary chemistry and physics.

I am currently a third year student at New York Institute of Technology and majoring in life sciences. I am planning on attending medical school next year. I enjoy learning science and plan on continuing to learn science. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, originally through a tutoring company and then unprofessionally since. I have a passion for tutoring as it is great teaching students that are driven to learn more about topics they are interested. As long as a student is willing to learn any test becomes easy!

Sima
Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I have a BA in Anthropology from Barnard College and a MS in Epidemiology from the University of Massachusetts, and I am currently doing cancer research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. As a student I was never been able to decide on a favorite subject because I felt anything I studied in school could be fun and much easier if approached with the right attitude. Instead of boring memorization, I like to look for patterns and think of creative approaches to study subjects that can otherwise be very frustrating. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence and to think of creative approaches to subjects (or standardized tests) that they struggled with in the past.
Kirill
ACT Prep Tutor • +23 Subjects
As a successful graduate of a rigorous program, I believe it is extremely important to have a holistic undergraduate education, adequately preparing students to function in the real world. Personally, I graduated from Loyola University in Chicago, with a degree in Biophysics, and am awaiting the start of my doctoral program in Biophysics at the University of Pittsburgh. As the name would imply, biophysics is a new field applying advanced mathematical and physical principles to biological systems, at or below the molecular scale.On that vein, I enjoy teaching mathematics, physics, and biology. Although, for me, understanding physics provides the most intellectual satisfaction, I believe that the union of these three fields provides for some of the most interesting phenomenon present in contemporary empirical study. Additionally, I like assisting students in preparation for the ACT because in the short term it provides direct results that students see.Outside of school, I love playing tennis, weightlifting, and reading fantasy. I have played tennis for 12 years and was a part of several leagues around the suburbs (since Loyola does not have a team) while in college. However, while attending Loyola I also had to switch to weightlifting as my main form of exercise since there is not as much opportunity to play tennis in the city. Finally, when not doing research, or playing sports, I love reading fantasy novels, and have recently been going through H.P. Lovecraft's works and George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones series.
Meera
Algebra Tutor • +5 Subjects
I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology (Go Jackets!) this past December with a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. From my time in National Honor Society in high school tutoring K-12 students in my town through my time at Tech as a class tutor, I've always engaged in my communities through this work. My passion led to my College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC). While I have tutored a multitude of courses from varying subjects, math will always be my favorite subject to tutor; I find that there is beauty in exploring multiple paths of a problem to reach the same answer.With respect to my tutoring style, it is of the utmost importance to me that each session, my students leave having an "A-ha! moment" (a takeaway from the session), which I achieve my focusing on students' individualized goals. This is only possible through connecting (beyond our relationship as tutor-tutee) with my students, where they can lean on me as a friend for advice or to talk about their day. I believe we achieve the most as a team when students look forward to meeting with me, even when we'll be looking at the subjects they dread the most. It is my students that always inspire me to return!In my free time, I love be outside going on runs/walks, reading, and baking. I also love going to see stand-up comedy and watching club soccer (Premier League)!

Carolyn
Elementary Math Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am a graduate of The Ohio State University and received my Bachelor of Arts in Korean. After graduation, I was blessed with various opportunities and experiences that have enriched the quality of my life. I interned for 3 months under the professional golfer in Dallas, TX. I worked with their non-profit organization that provides aid to young and aspiring golfers and traveled to Tampa, Florida and Seoul, South Korea. After the internship ended, I returned to Columbus, Ohio and had a number of odd jobs before starting full-time at The Ohio State University. At The Ohio State University, I worked at the Office of Legal Affairs as a legal secretary/front-desk receptionist for 2 years before realizing my passion for helping children. So I decided to quit my desk job and am currently enrolled at OSU studying child psychology.I am approved to tutor Elementary and Middle school level Math, Reading, English, Study skills and Organization, ESL/ELL, ISEE-Lower Level, SSAT-Elementary Level, Korean language and Korean culture. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite subject is Korean language and culture. I love sharing and spreading my heritage with others and enjoy learning about other cultures as well. My #1 policy for tutoring is patience. I believe every person deserves a second chance (and maybe even a third, fourth and fifth!) and will strive to always be patient and encouraging when working with students. As far as teaching style, I will do an assessment of new clients and will apply Bloom's taxonomy in every project. I start off by making sure the student remembers and understands the basic knowledge of a concept, then I will help the student apply and analyze their knowledge for a deeper and enriching learning experience. After a few sessions, I'll re-evaluate the student's needs and make any necessary modifications in order to help the student attain their goal(s).Another large part of my life is devoted to volunteering at church. I was the Treasurer and Vice President of the Young Adults/College group for the year of 2013. I am currently the Praise Team leader for Friday worship service and enjoy singing and playing piano. Every summer, I volunteer as a counselor for Ohio Youth Camp and last summer, I traveled to Jamaica for 10 days on a short-term mission trip. Also in my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, listening to music, running, and watching comedies.

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.
