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...

Ryla

English Tutor • +7 Subjects

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, minoring in Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts, from the University of New Mexico in Spring 2022. I am beginning a Biomedical Sciences PhD this fall at NYU Vilcek Institute. I have spent my entire academic career helping students, from tutoring elementary schoolers, to TA-ing in high school, to helping run study groups with my peers throughout my undergraduate days. I also ran a mentorship program within the UNM Honors College. I am most passionate about teaching Biology and Chemistry, though I also enjoy working with students on writing papers across all disciplines, including English and History. When not studying or working in a research lab, I enjoy meeting new people, exploring the cities I've lived in, and writing novels. I look forward to working with you. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you, Ryla.

Alicia

7th Grade Math Tutor • +41 Subjects

I graduated in 2009 from Trinity International University with a double major in education and Mathematics. I also obtained my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University in 2014. I have been teaching for 5 years and am excited to begin my 6th year this fall. I have experience teaching students math from 6th grade all the way through 12th grade. I have taught a wide variety of students ranging to those with learning disabilities to students who are gifted. I will be tutoring middle school math, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Trig. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 1. Is is the foundation of all high school and college math classes.I believe that every student has the ability to learn. Some learn at a faster pace and some take a little longer to process it. I also believe that not everyone learns the same way. It is my job as a tutor to figure out the best way to break things down in order for you to be successful.Outside of academics, I love watching and participating in a variety of sports. I am passionate about running and have even ran a half marathon. I also love to travel. I have been to 9 countries so far and hope to add to that.

I have found that tutoring is such a fulfilling way to help others succeed while learning new information myself. It also allows me to build new and lasting relationships with those I work with, which is something I have come to value.Outside of school/work, I enjoy dancing, reading, listening to music, and hanging out with friends.

Thomas

ACT English Tutor • +36 Subjects

As much as I see myself as a qualified, knowledgeable tutor, I think it's just as important for me to motivate, lead, inspire, and mentor my students. Do you have test anxiety? Math anxiety, specifically? Is it difficult for you to create, organize, and execute a study plan? Or do you simply want straightforward, content-based prep and study help? In either case, I'm excited to help you achieve your academic and standardized test goals.My academic credentials consist of a BA in Political Science and German from the University of Rhode Island, and a Master's degree in Environmental Management from Duke University. I speak German and Spanish. I'm confident tutoring several standardized tests, including SSAT, ISEE, SAT, ACT, and GRE.

Matthew

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of California, San Diego. I chose to major in Sociology and became a Pre-dental student over time because I loved learning about the sciences. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects, including Chemistry, Biology, and Math. I have worked with students of all ages. My belief is that if the student understands the material presented, it is much easier to learn and incorporate. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports; mainly basketball. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and a healthy mind can do powerful things.

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.
