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...

Alexander
AP Chinese Language and Culture Tutor • +24 Subjects
After graduating from Cornell University with a BA in Economics, I pursued post graduate studies in the FALCON (Full-Year Asian Language Concentration) program, which consisted of a full year of intensive Mandarin studies, partly at the Cornell University campus and partly at the highly ranked Peking University, in Beijing China. After completing my Mandarin studies in May 2013 with a GPA of 3.6, I remained in China for a year, and began a career with Pattison Education, as a tutor in Shenzhen China, where I taught English, Economics, and History to Chinese students at all levels, in a 1-to-1 setting. I also continued my Mandarin studies independently and achieved HSK level 5 Certification (July 2014). I enjoyed tutoring students so much, that after I moved back to the US, I continued both online and in person teaching of various subjects including Economics, Chinese, and TOEFL. I keep my tutoring schedule fairly flexible and I am just as comfortable teaching in-person as I am teaching in an online classroom.

Komla
Conversational French Tutor • +33 Subjects
We all speak a language which makes it common to all of us. This reflects the nature of language and the will or the need to communicate. Yet all the languages are not the same and, learning them can be something difficult but necessary for intercultural exchange to people in contact. I will be glad as a French near-native speaker, to help people achieve that goal.
Maggie
ACT Prep Tutor • +103 Subjects
I am a graduate from New York University with a degree in Media, Culture and Communication. I have experience tutoring from elementary level through college level, as well as in SAT prep. I think patience is the key to being an effective teacher, which is something I apply while tutoring students. Furthermore, I think it is important that students never lose the joy that comes with learning.
Barbara
Adult Literacy Tutor • +13 Subjects
I am a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace University, Berea, Ohio. I have a B.A. in Psychology and Elementary education. I taught middle school math and science for 22 years, including math intervention, grades 6, and 7. In addition, I've tutored students for over 4 years in all subjects, my favorite being pre-algebra. I believe all students need a welcoming, supportive, and happy learning environment to be successful.
Marisa
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
Reflecting on my past tutoring experience as both tutor and student, I appreciate the value of education and the concepts of learning. When students learn to focus their attention on education, every aspect of their lives will be positively impacted. Education broadens perspectives and opportunities, as well as motivates innovative individuals. Through tutoring, I hope my knowledge and skills will cultivate a yearning for knowledge within the student that will invoke success within their academic lives.As I continue my biomedical engineering studies as a junior in college this semester, I firmly believe both my coursework and past tutoring experiences will fuse to create a wealth of knowledge both academically and personally from a student point of view. Being a student myself allows connections with the student to be made, for often the pressure of exams and grades can be stressful, which is something I can personally relate to. Academically, the coursework I have taken thus far will be more than beneficial to any student struggling in a math or science subject. From algebra and basic math, to complicated derivatives and integrals, I have covered most algebraic and calculus based classes. In addition, to the math based coursework, I have also been well versed in biology, chemistry and anatomy. The foundation of my college education will definitely contribute to knowledge and methods of my tutoring.Additionally, I have been a tutor in a variety of subjects since I was in high school. Initially, my first students were middle schoolers needing additional help with their algebra during a homework club. This quickly expanded to personal tutoring, where I focused one on one with students to cover subjects more advanced such as pre-calculus and calculus. The most recent students I have worked with have been utilizing my knowledge to help them with the formation of essays and furthering their reading comprehension and language skills.I enjoy working with young students and encouraging them to enjoy learning. I believe my teamwork capabilities will help the students truly understand their materials, and motivate them to strive for success.

I'm passionate about science, discovery, and teaching, which is why I am pursuing both research and tutoring.

I would characterize my tutoring style as positive and persistent, but above all, I like to tailor my approach to best suit the needs and learning style of each individual student.My specialties are test prep (AP/SAT/ACT/SSAT) and science subjects, including biology, chemistry, and physics. I am also experienced with tutoring US and world history, literature and composition, and general essay writing.Looking forward to meeting new students!
Angela
Conversational Spanish Tutor • +32 Subjects
Spanish has been around me my whole life. My father was a Mexican Italian American and I frequently heard the language coming from the den. When I was a senior in High School I went o Santiago, Chile and ended up living there for 9 years. I studied and worked there and when I returned to the USA I continued to use Spanish while conducting imports and exports to Latin America. I recently moved back to the USA from Mexico where I was teaching English and remodeling an old Hacienda. I have a masters in elementary education and have taught one on one tutoring for the last 20 years in English and Spanish. I hope we can work together. Sale y Vale
Malory
Elementary School Tutor • +8 Subjects
Working with students is something that is truly so rewarding to me. I look forward to doing it for a career, but until then, I am eager to get every chance I can to work with students as much as possible! I am a junior student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the college of education working towards my B.A. in Elementary Education (K-6). I have gained an incredible amount of experience working with elementary students while studying in this program as weekly I visit elementary schools and work closely with a mentor teacher as well as the students. My tutoring experience comes from being in school as well, as the college of education partnered with HEART tutoring, which allowed me to tutor a second and fourth grader in math once a week this past semester. With that being said, I have more experience tutoring elementary math, however I have completed K-2 coursework for reading/writing as well. Math is probably my favorite subject to tutor just because I love to hear students explain their reasoning when solving a problem and seeing them reach the correct solution is pure joy. Outside of academia, I love to read, workout, paint, and play with my cat (his name is Dash)!

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.
