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...

Anthony

Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Massachusetts Boston with a degree in Classics and graduated with honors and magna cum laude. I then obtained my Master of Arts from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona in Classics with a focus on archaeology. I am currently mulling applying to law programs but I am going to take a few years off before I apply. During my college career, I have traveled to France, Britain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, and would like to travel to many more countries! I tutored special needs students in Math, History and English during my time in high school. In my Master's program, I was a teaching assistant for four classes and mentored and helped many students of all different backgrounds for my entire two years there. In one specific case, I tutored a student in Ancient Greek for two to three a week for a semester.I can tutor in World History, European History, AP European and World History, Latin, all subjects of Writing including Grammar and Mechanics, and Public Speaking. Although I enjoy tutoring many subjects, European History is my favorite because I find it rewarding to show students how important past events still are to contemporary times. My methodology for tutoring is to help students identify answers that they can eliminate immediately and work together to find the right answer logically. I am patient teacher but I think the students benefits the most when they teach me the material because I can assess how comfortable the students are with the material and take the appropriate actions to help the students become more comfortable with the material.As for activities I find interesting, I play ice hockey regularly and follow all of the local sports teams. I played track and field and cross country in high school. While I like playing video games from time to time, I enjoy reading books of any topic (politics, sports, fiction, non-fiction, etc.) and watch many popular television shows. In general, I am a relaxed person who enjoys working with anyone willing to apply themselves.

Saz

College English Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a graduate of Maranatha Baptist University in Watertown, WI. I received my BS in Humanities Applied Science and a minor in Spanish. While at Maranatha, I participated in the ESL program as a personal teacher, tutored Spanish university students, and contributed to the Humanities blog. My teaching immersion experience in Peru enabled me to communicate with a variety of students, as well. While I love working with students on a wide range of subjects, my common study topics include Spanish, English, and Essay Writing. From my experience with Standardized Test Prep, I realize that approaching the test may seem daunting, yet I've found that a dose of dedication and light-heartedness is a powerful force. As an unrelenting optimist, I capitalize on students' strong points to build them up with encouragement so that they can reproduce the same effectiveness with their own capacities. As a lover of literature and language, I enjoy stumbling across creative, mind-provoking ideas.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2012 with a BA in Political Science and certificates in Securities Studies (UC) as well as Paralegal Studies (UGA).Right now I work in early childcare/education but it is my goal to attend graduate school to further my studies.I've tutored people from children to adults in various subjects ranging from history to English. I am very fond of the social sciences and I feel that is an area where I have a lot of strength in.My teaching philosophy/tutoring is that of openness of discussion. I don't really adhere to formal standards of teaching. I feel that teaching and/or tutoring is more effective when you can engage the audience first.I'm an open book and I always find that I am constantly learning and relearning about things I saw differently in the past. I love to read, to listen to different perspectives, and explore.

Joy

ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +18 Subjects

I got my start teaching as a high school senior, preparing freshmen to serve the elderly in a yearlong social action program. The summer before college, I tutored elementary school math one on one. I taught K-8 grade art after school during my final college year at a private school. With a bachelor's degree and graduate work in biology, I was a substitute teacher at a public charter school and research scientist. Now, I tutor elementary and middle school students ranging from special needs to gifted and talented across the country.In my initial session with students, I find out what they want to achieve during the instruction and their future goals. I use interactive visuals to connect what they learn in the classroom to the real world. Breaking down difficult material for clarity is what I enjoy doing most. Critical thinking and study skills are important, so I assist students with those items as well. Let me know how I can help you succeed.

Valeree

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

I really never thought I would become an instructor. I was too shy. However, a requirement for my master's degree in mathematics at Florida Atlantic University was teaching a college algebra class. After teaching only one class, I changed my mind. Seeing the way students responded to me, how quickly they understood what I was teaching, and how many thanked me for the lesson, was all I needed. I went on to earn a doctorate from Nova Southeastern University.Nothing is more valuable than seeing a student experience that moment when they understand. These are the most fulfilling experiences of my life.

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.
