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...

ACT Writing Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a teacher who is certified in all core subjects for grades 4 through 8, Special Education, and English as a Second Language. I am eager for the opportunity to tutor you or your student, because I feel that small group instruction is the single best tool in increasing understanding. I love lesson design and as your tutor, I will be sure to work with you to create lessons that you find both engaging and effective.I have taught in Houston for the past three years. Prior to becoming an educator, I worked at an educational outreach program that promotes literacy throughout the greater Houston community and I was a teaching assistant for PSYC 101 at Rice. These varied experiences have given me a holistic approach when it comes to tackling misunderstandings and ensuring that all students feel confident, valued, and successful.Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like any additional information about my teaching style or qualifications. I look forward to working with you!
Adam
Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects
Graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a major in Petroleum Engineering and a minor in Business, I am very passionate about translating the knowledge gained in various STEM subjects into enthusiasm by others for learning through facilitated techniques.Throughout my four years in college, I have tutored students in Chemistry, Calculus, Physics, and other math- and science-related courses. In addition, I have also mentored young men in the Boy Scouts of America in obtaining survival skills such as orienteering, camping, lifesaving, and emergency preparedness.Personally, the teaching style that I find most useful is a combination of understanding the students' learning approach through active listening/inquiring and displaying information in an effective manner for memorization and workflow.While tutoring interests me on an academic level, I enjoy playing and watching sports like tennis, football, and basketball. Also, I like venturing the outdoors recently, I have backpacked through Europe and camped on national parks in Wyoming and Texas.My main goal as a tutor is to inspire students to recognize their potential for utilizing straightforward methods to analyze and solve problems. By dissecting problems into its core components similar to those of previously worked problems, one can isolate the necessary information and creatively employ tested strategies to easily arrive to a solution.

James
GMAT Tutor • +15 Subjects
As an undergrad I dabbled in more majors than any advisor would recommend, but finally ended up focusing on art and ancient cultures. I have a Bachelor of Arts in art history and am a PhD candidate at Yale University, where I am completing an iconographic and photogrammetric survey of ancient Maya architecture on the Yucatan Peninsula. Along the way I have travelled in Africa and Latin America, lived in Mexico--where I studied as a Fulbright Scholar--and in Canada, where I taught at McGill University. I started teaching test-prep classes (GRE, LSAT, SAT, and GMAT) twenty years ago and have taught for several national companies. Teaching these classes has always been immensely gratifying due to the satisfaction of helping students prepare for and meet career goals. I particularly enjoy teaching the more complex subjects, such as the LSAT analytical reasoning and the GMAT quantitative comparison. I know how difficult some of this material can be because I have worked very hard to master it myself! Due to my time spent studying foreign languages (Spanish, three Mayan languages, Middle Egyptian) I am also very good with writing, rhetoric, grammar, and style. When not teaching or doing research I might be found curling, running, woodworking, taking photographs, cooking with my well seasoned wok, or visiting art galleries.
Max
Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects
Throughout my many years in school, my friends, acquaintances, and classmates have turned to me for help understanding material being taught in classes we have taken together. I have helped teach people in many school subjects, but I am particularly experienced in math tutoring. I see math as a puzzle that can be easily solved if one becomes familiar with all the rules; furthermore, these rules are interconnected, so understanding one leads to understanding more. As a tutor, I build links between mathematical concepts rather than starting from scratch every time. My success as a tutor is also in part due to my patience with anyone struggling to understand a concept; I am willing to repeat something I have said or done many times. Additionally, if I am teaching someone a skill, I make sure to let them try it, and ensure them that getting it wrong a few times is alright. It's impossible to learn without making mistakes, and even tougher to learn without someone guiding the way.I hope to make middle school and high school math as understandable for other students as it has been for me.
Jaclyn
Anatomy Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a graduate of Rider University. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Neuroscience with a concentration in Pre-Medical studies and a minor in Spanish. I am currently in the College of Nursing at Villanova University working on receiving my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and continuing on to becoming a Nurse Practitioner. While I was attending Rider University, I was a tutor in Biology and all levels of Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Anatomy because it is very interesting to me and I use Anatomy everyday as a Student Nurse. I believe that tutoring is helpful because sometimes hearing a different explanation of a certain topic or subject makes it easier to learn. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, swimming, reading, and doing yoga. I love helping people any way that I could. I believe that tutoring is a great way to help students understand and learn material by minimizing stress and increasing their confidence level.
Jim
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have a PhD in Russian from Columbia University, and 31 years of university-level teaching experience. Now that I'm a Professor Emeritus, I've became an art educator and language tutor. I've tutored people who were native speakers of French, Spanish, German, and Hungarian, among European languages; and of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, among Asian languages.And, actually, tutoring for SAT Prep and helping people improve their grades in high school English is not so different from that. When I do that kind of tutoring, I emphasize features of the very complicated English verb system such as colloquial phrasal verbs and their more formal equivalents ("to go back"/"to return").Of course, every student is different, and each teaching situation is different, so I bring to each session a prepared lesson that both reviews the previous lesson and works on new problems and ideas.
Asia
Elementary School Reading Tutor • +7 Subjects
As an Alumna of Rockhurst University, I have dedicated my career and voluntary work to advocacy and education. I am currently attending Law School at Washburn University as I wanted to obtain a career to use my reading and writing skills for advocacy. I enjoy teaching English, Reading, and Writing skills as they are the foundation for any academic or professional opportunity. During undergraduate I ran my own mentoring program where I assisted high school students with english essays, scholarship essays, and reading skills, In which every senior in the program was accepted into college and received scholarships. Concurrently, I served as a Girl Scout Troop leader where I practiced sight words, reading comprehension, and writing skills using microphones and bubbles. I believe that a creative education space builds resilience and critical thinking skills which will nicely accompany a strong foundation of reading and writing skills.

ACT 4-Week Prep Class Prep Tutor • +70 Subjects
I am a graduate of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College and Western Kentucky University. From these two post-secondary education institutions, I hold an A.A.S in Business Technology Management Option, a B.S. in General Management, and a M.A.E. in Learning and Behavior Disorders Grades K-12. I've received additional training through the University of Louisville to become an Autism specialist. I went into Special Education because I have a passion for helping others and desire to help everyone reach their maximum potential. Since 2011, I have worked with high school students with a variety of disabilities in the resource and co-taught settings in a wide variety of subject areas. My favorite subjects include English, US History, and Arts & Humanities. I also enjoy helping students improve executive functioning and social skills. When working with students, I like to find the learning style that works best for them to help them succeed. Outside of teaching, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. Being a wife and mother are my greatest accomplishments. I also enjoy participating in theatre on and off stage, writing, baking, sewing, painting, and playing video games. I am looking forward to continuing to help others, while still being available to my family, by being an online tutor!

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.
