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...

Andrew
Anatomy Tutor • +15 Subjects
Originally from Westchester County, I went to Oberlin College for my undergrad and then completed the University of Vermont Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program this past year. I love studying Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Microbiology, and Biochemistry, and I have experience tutoring students in these subjects from the middle school to the undergraduate level. Although I typically tutor students in the Biological Sciences and Chemistry, I am also able to tutor students in elementary and middle school math. I am able to work with students on MCAT preparation and can help you achieve the score you want by focusing on how to properly approach the problems and hitting all the necessary bases with content review.For my teaching style, I like to teach students how to best approach and understand complex concepts with confidence so that they will build up the skill set required to solve and understand problems effortlessly. I believe in a personalized approach to tutoring and always customize my lessons based on the student's learning style and academic goals. By eliminating areas of weakness through carefully tailored lesson plans, we will be sure to cover all the bases so that you can achieve the high test scores and grades that you deserve. My goal is to get you to love learning science and I will be sure to put in all the effort required for you to succeed in this regard.When I'm not studying or working, I enjoy power-lifting, running, listening to and playing music, reading, spending time outside at a park or beach, cooking, and traveling abroad whenever possible.

Alyssa
ACT English Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am a student at Endicott College and have always had a passion for helping children succeed. I have had experience working with children of many ages, however I prefer to focus mainly on the K-6 age group. I have privately tutored middle school students and have worked hands-on in a classroom of 6-8 year olds. I have experience working with various types of attention and learning disabilities and do not view these as obstacles to learning, but as something that the student must accept and embrace as they go throughout their educational journey. I love helping students succeed and feel passionately about the subject of education. I am pursuing a double major in Digital Journalism and Photography, with a minor in International Studies. I want to become a journalist so that I may educate others about the things that are going on in the world. My favorite topics to tutor include the wonderful subjects of English and Social Studies! My teaching philosophy is relaxed and laid back- I believe that in order to learn, the student must be comfortable with the teacher and that there must be a strong relationship between the two in order for there to be success. I am also a strong proponent to the philosophy of instilling self-confidence in students, and believe strongly in positive reinforcement. I believe in the importance of recognizing the good and positive in each student's work, and working around their strengths, rather than directly attacking the negative qualities of a student's work. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing piano, guitar, and tennis. I also thoroughly enjoy going on runs with my Siberian Husky, Stella.
Madison
Biology Tutor • +4 Subjects
I am a Biology major from Southwestern University. I have always loved studying biology because I love to understand how life works; whether it be a cell, human body, or an ecosystem. My goal as a tutor is to help the student achieve their academic goals and to help the student become a better questioner. I know that every student learns differently, and I hope to help each student figure out their best studying techniques in order to help them achieve their academic goals.
Jeff
College English Tutor • +11 Subjects
I have taught freshman writing for 22 years at various universities, including UConn, Temple, and WCU.I enjoy working one on one with students to improve their composition and grammar skills. There is nothing more professionally satisfying than watching students improve their skills over time.Moreover, regardless of an individual's present writing competencies, I am convinced that with effort any student can learn to write well. My years of instructional experience have convinced me of this time and again. Indeed, writing is not rocket science, but rather a skill developed through sustained practice.
Eric
Arithmetic Tutor • +10 Subjects
Nothing helps a student learn like personal attention. The ability to assess and react on a one-on-one basis can prevent the largest pitfall of all; boredom. By adjusting one's teaching style to match a student's learning style, the information can flow smoothly, as can a passion for the subject. Achieve this, and learning becomes not only empowering but fun!My past experiences include a recent semester as a student teacher at the middle school age level. I also have many years as a leader in the Boy Scouts Program. Currently I serve as a tutor at NLU.

My ability to relate the material to the students makes me a great tutor. I believe that scaffolding is essential in the learning process for students of all levels and ability. This is an invaluable technique I used during my time spent student and substitute teaching.

Currently, I am a VP at a Wealth Management firm in New York City where I help clients make smart choices about investments and financial planning.I enjoy explaining financial and economic concepts to clients and students. I have helped colleagues and students pass standardized tests related to the financial industry (Series 7, Series 66, CFA Level I). My approach involves assessing students' strengths and weaknesses and working on areas that need the most attention.I enjoy traveling. I have lived in many countries in the past including Switzerland where I went to boarding school. I like to stay fit, try new restaurants, and I go snowboarding whenever I get a chance.

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.
