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...

Jane

Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

I have taught the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the first time.

Josh

Elementary School Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate of Bennington College and the Bank Street School of Education. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and a Masters in Elementary Education. Since graduation, I have spent a good deal of time performing and teaching. When I wasn't in a school I would be performing theatre, improv or voice over. I also found time to volunteer at the Brooklyn Cat Caf, where I met on of my pets! I have spent the majority of my time teaching elementary aged children core academics including math, literature, writing and social studies. I have also been a science and technology teacher. I am most passionate about math, writing and reading. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement. I was a class clown as a student, and I always try to reach out to students who may need an extra minute or two. In my free time I like to 3D design, read both books and comics, and learn new ways to cook.

Marcela

College English Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am interested in working with ESL students who are new to Pittsburgh and the U.S.A. When I have had the chance to travel internationally in the past, I always appreciated talking to locals and learning about their country and their language from them. Moving to a new country takes so much courage, and I am always glad when I get the chance to meet someone who has come to the USA from another place, and I love helping them understand our culture and language. I would like to work directly with students who are learning English as a second language. This could be all the way from a beginning stage, for example, to be able to ask for things at a store, or for more advanced students who would like to improve their English by clarifying some grammar rules, in order to advance at work. My preferred way to work is to have students set the goals they would like to achieve, and work directly from that, so that the student is not wasting their time. I have experience teaching adult ESL students and am comfortable with teaching to improve reading, writing, communication and grammar.

Mayur

ACT Math Tutor • +28 Subjects

I graduated from Emory University in 2014 with a BS degree in Neuroscience. Since then, I have started medical school at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. Given my strong science background, I feel most comfortable tutoring the life sciences, but I am also interested in tutoring Math, French, and Reading/Writing, including editing papers for content as well as grammar and syntax. I try to take a personable approach to tutoring, helping others relate the material to their own interests in order to help bridge the gap between one's own knowledge and a seemingly confusing realm of material. Together, we can work towards fostering an interest in lifelong learning, while keeping the material fun and engaging along the way. Apart from my studies, I'm passionate about dance, having dabbled in various forms of South Asian dance including Bollywood, garba/raas, bhangra, and classical, and I also like to cook and travel to new places.

Shuang (John)

Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

A #2 pencil and a dream can take you everywhere.I have very good understanding of the subjects that I tutor, as proved by my academic records. I also have a great passion for teaching. I've been a calculus facilitator at Syracuse University for two years in my undergraduate study, which can be described as an "alternative TA." My experience also includes one semester one-on-one tutoring with a college electrical engineering student. I love teaching and I love helping students out. When I heard back from my students saying: "This makes much more sense now.", I feel eternally happy for them from my heart.

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.
