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...

Shawn
ACT Math Tutor • +19 Subjects
I am a graduate of New York University and majored in Economics and Math. I realized I enjoyed tutoring in college when I would create study sessions with my peers and saw first hand how positively people can react to one on one practice. I started tutoring at university because I truly enjoyed helping others and knew with a little guidance I can teach anyone the proper ways to solve what looks like a difficult problem. I am a friendly, motivated tutor looking to help students that need a little boost to get some difficult concepts down. I am proficient in maths ranging from basic algebra to calculus and will work whenever and with whoever is willing to improve their skills
Uttam
Chemistry Tutor • +5 Subjects
I received my graduate degree from Tennessee Technological University. I have been teaching chemistry to college students since last 10 years and fortunate enough to work with diverse groups of students both in the United States and abroad. This experience helped me to recognize students' strengths and weaknesses, and bestow focused support in their learning. I am very approachable and never disparage my students for not knowing something. Outside of academia, I like traveling to different places to enjoy nature, and make new friends and learn about their cultures and traditions.
Seth
Biology Tutor • +6 Subjects
Hello, my name is Seth! I am a biologist who studies ecology and endangered species. I am a M.S. candidate in biology at TAMU-Commerce. For my thesis, I will be collaborating with faculty and other students investigating population distributions, habitat use, and community ecology surrounding Etheostoma radiosum, the orange bellied darter. Previous to this, I have lived in Alabama where I have worked with endangered species across the state in conservation and community ecology efforts. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of North Alabama as a double major in biology and earth systems sustainability in December of 2020! My tutoring style is very student need oriented. I don't like bogging people down with information they already clearly have a good grasp of. I like letting students (when they are comfortable) start leading the conversations about subject material as it helps build confidence and reinforces content.
Zachary
Biology Tutor • +51 Subjects
I graduated from Framingham State University where I obtained a degree in Biology with a concentration in wildlife and environmental biology. Upon graduation from Framingham State, I accepted an internship at Fermilab Natural Areas where I learned about habitat restoration. It was while I was at Fermilab when I realized that I wanted to become a professor. I am most knowledgeable in: Ecology, Biology, Public Speaking, U.S. History, and Life Sciences.I am a very enthusiastic person and I strive to help others succeed. My teaching style is very flexible, but personally I like to use visuals when I teach. I believe that the best way for a student to learn a new subject is by reteaching the material, as it builds confidence.In my spare time I like to watch football, go for walks, and play Scrabble.

Veronica
Adult Literacy Tutor • +11 Subjects
I believe every student has the ability to be a strong writer and reader. My job as tutor is to equip my students with tools they can use to achieve academic and professional success. I hold a B.A. in English: Writing from West Chester University and am currently pursuing an MFA in Poetry at Spalding University. I spent the last two years tutoring college students at West Chester University's disability department in writing, reading, and English and it was some of the most rewarding work of my life. My favorite subjects to tutor are academic writing, creative writing, and understanding literature, but I also work with students on general academic skills like time management and decision paralysis.
Kevin
Administrative Law Tutor • +31 Subjects
Hello! I am a graduate of Amherst College and the New York University School of Law, where I recently received my J.D. I have extensive experience tutoring and teaching both academic subjects and test preparation courses.In my experience, students can do extremely well on tests like the SAT, the ACT, the LSAT, and the GRE once they understand how the test works and what each type of question is asking them to do. Whether a student is new to a test, feels like it presents a genuine source of difficulty for him or her, or is trying to figure out how to push towards a perfect score, I know the steps necessary to help that student reach his or her goal.I also have experience tutoring high-school and college-level mathematics, and I regularly write and edit written works, including scholarly papers and judicial opinions, for possible publication. I have a passion for the subjects that usually appear on standardized tests, and I have loved having an opportunity to create that sense of enjoyment in my students as well.
Siddharth

I started tutoring in 8th grade to do some community service, but I soon began to appreciate teaching as a whole. Week after week, I made lesson plans and fun activities for my young students. I realized how much I enjoyed tutoring and teaching younger students. Currently, I tutor privately and I have not had a single bad session. I enjoy the freedom to teach in any way I like and the way that best helps my students learn. I take great pride in my students' academic achievement and I'm glad to be part of their journey to success.

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.
