Maya

Business Tutor • +3 Subjects

I am a recent Accounting graduate with strong passion and work ethics. Highly enthusiastic and excited to put my knowledge, experience and skills to good practice. I graduated from the Lebanese American University with High Distinction, was part of the university's Honors Program, and a lifetime member of the international honor society Beta Gamma Sigma. When I was pursuing my degree, I was chosen by my Accounting Professor to tutor accounting courses such as Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting at the Learning Center of the university. I tutored a single and a group of students who had difficulties in their accounting courses. Having the experience of tutoring physically and virtually, helped me develop various ways of teaching that help students understand different concepts. Also, being responsible of a group of kids aged 4 to 12, helped me deliver various messages in new ways as well as learn how to be patient. I aim on transmitting my knowledge and passion I have for accounting to the students, so that they can also be introduced to the real world of accounting and grow by learning. I'm willing to give all I have to encourage students to improve and become ready for their journey of success.

A Beginner's Guide: Excel Tutor • +18 Subjects

Hello, my name is Patrick Anderson, and I am thrilled to share my passion for tutoring with you. With a diverse academic background and a deep understanding of test-taking strategies, I am dedicated to helping ambitious students excel in their studies and reach their full potential.I began my educational journey at Harvard College, where I pursued a major in Neurobiology and minor in economics. This interdisciplinary approach provided me with a solid foundation in both scientific inquiry and analytical thinking. After graduation, I spent several years working in the consulting industry, where I honed my problem-solving and communication skills.Driven by a desire to further expand my knowledge and skills, I embarked on a new path and pursued an MBA at Yale School of Management. During my time there, I not only gained a comprehensive understanding of business principles but also delved into the world of finance. Eager to challenge myself further, I successfully passed the CFA Level 1 exam, scoring in the 95th percentile.Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have come to appreciate the importance of effective test-taking strategies and academic support. I understand the pressures and challenges that students face when preparing for exams and striving for academic success. With my own experiences and achievements, I am confident in my ability to guide and inspire students to perform at their best.

I am NYS certified Mathematics Teacher (Grades 7-12) currently teaching in Harlem, NY. As someone who loved the sciences I want to encourage students to enjoy the struggle that comes with advanced mathematics and to recognize the importance of math proficiency among other subjects. I believe the key to motivating students to push themselves with certain topics is relatability; how can I take what I learned and apply it to something that I want to accomplish?

Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

As a young middle school student, I required a tutor to improve my reading and writing skills; I was a Polish immigrant, and was struggling with English. My tutor taught me to enjoy learning, and eventually I became an English major while simultaneously pursuing a pre-med track. I can empathize with younger students who are struggling and need someone, as I once did, to make them as enthusiastic about learning as I am now.In my capacity as a private middle school and high school tutor for both math and biology, I have had the opportunity to help other students for a year now. I've used my love of learning to help me work with students who have struggled with their courses. Tutoring students who did not enjoy algebra taught me to appeal to a student's interests in order to find ways to make the material more accessible and relevant.I used to struggle in math. I found the concepts hard to grasp and sometimes beyond my reach. But with hard work and some guidance, I eventually excelled. I can understand why certain concepts are difficult to learn for some students. I've therefore found it very rewarding to put mathematical concepts and principles into words that the student will be able to understand. My ultimate goal when teaching math is to make sure the student understands what I am teaching well enough to be able to solve any problem on his or her own.I am an English major on the pre-med track, which has given me experience in English, math, and science. I have completed all of my pre-med and English requirements with high scores. I have interned for The Florida Review, and have published some of my own work in Independent Ink. I'm also very comfortable working with kids, and helping them better understand concepts that they struggle with.I look forward to helping young students and allowing them to discover their full potential.

Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects

High quality education is my passion! From a young age I attended a gifted and talented Middle School, where compassionate and encouraging teachers nurtured my lifelong love of learning. In High School, I was enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in addition to multiple AP courses. Thanks to my supportive teachers, classmates and tutors, I was able to graduate High School with a perfect 4.0 GPA as Valedictorian of my 700 person class. All my life, I've wanted to foster that same level of passion for learning to everyone I meet. I graduated Pepperdine University in Southern California with dual degrees in International Business Administration and Economics with a concentration in Finance. I tutored all throughout my university career, working with my college peers as well as high school and middle school students. I especially love to work with students on fundamental math concepts that often get rush through in traditional classroom environments. It's my passion to get my students passionate about math! I'm eager to find out how I can best work with you to make learning fun and easy!

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.
