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...

I am a great tutor because I am young and enthusiastic. I can relate to the kids I tutor because I recently experienced the classes and standardized tests that they are taking. I use an informal style so that the student can feel comfortable asking questions. I try to connect personally to the stude...

I enjoy helping people of all ages reach their educational goals. For younger students, I want to encourage curiosity and love of learning. For pre-graduate school test takers, I want to make sure that a four hour test does not get in the way of your dreams.

My view about tutoring is that all students are capable of achieving their goals in mathematics. I think that one-on-one sessions are invaluable to students struggling in a classroom environment. Sometimes teachers do not have the time to give sufficient personalized attention, the way a qualified t...

I have been working in the area of Education since college, and have had private and corporate tutoring experience. For the majority of my professional career I worked for Pearson Education, the largest Educational publisher in the country. There I worked alongside teachers and professors to help write and develop some of today's most cutting edge educational texts and technology. While working at Pearson, I continued to consistently tutor after working hours and on the weekends, and continued to do so after leaving Pearson. I have experience tutoring in all areas of the English language, including ESL, essay writing, SAT reading and writing sections, general reading comprehension and all facets of the writing process.

Adrienne
Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects
I was a California 5th grade, long-term substitute teacher for the 2014-2015 school year in an elementary school where I taught the core subjects of Math, English, Science and History. I worked at a bi-lingual school, so, I am able to communicate on an intermediate level in Spanish. I am currently residing in the greater Chicago area because I am serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA at Youth Build, where I am the Bridge to College Specialist. I have experience working with Elementary through High School aged students. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of California Santa Barbara in Environmental Science and Anthropology. Throughout college I played on a soccer team and I danced with the dance majors ( I adore dance!). My first passion in school was studio art, therefore, I have experience in drawing, painting and ceramics. I would love to hear from any student who has any further questions and thinks I may be the perfect fit. As a teacher at heart, I hope that together we can work together to make you the most successful student possible!
Emily
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I'm an elementary school teacher at a classical school outside of Boston. I graduated from Yale last year with a B.S. in psychology. As a student I worked as an undergraduate research assistant in a cognitive neuroscience lab, studied in Paris, debated with the Yale Political Union, and took part in numerous off-campus mentoring and counseling activities. In many ways I am still a student, always trying to grow as a person and in my profession. My favorite subject to teach is math, because there are often many different ways to approach any one problem - the fun is in finding out what works for you!

Besides my passion for medicine and health, I have always loved teaching. I spent one year as an Undergraduate Student Instructor at UC Berkeley where I helped run a lab section for a general biology course. I also spent one year as an individual tutor for biology and general chemistry. One of my most fulfilling experiences as a tutor was working with several special needs students in the biological sciences; that experience really helped broaden my horizons as an educator.The summer after I graduated I was given the privilege of leading a study group for general biology. Students who needed a little bit of extra help for that course could always come to my study group to bolster their knowledge. My extensive experience tutoring and teaching my peers has taught me to approach problems from many different angles, allowing me to help students with very different backgrounds and learning styles.My background in biology is very extensive, but I am also very capable in other fields. At UC Berkeley I excelled in the pre-medical courses: biology, physics, chemistry, and math. I apply different teaching styles for different students, and I've found that adaptability is one of greatest skills a tutor can have. I always try to make a course as fun as possible for a student because I know all too well how stressful academics can be.

With more than 10 years of tutoring experience, I am adept in mathematics (elementary, middle school, and high school) and science. My on-the-job experience has also afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate communication and presentation skills. I excel at multitasking the multiple learning needs of each student, developing materials, reporting on progress, and managing educational time.I love playing with my three children and working with them. I like to keep up with my own reading and writing when I can, and I also volunteer to teach SAT mathematics (a subject in which I have a geeks need to study and learn more about all the time!). I have a new-found interest in art after teaching "Learning to Look" for my son's class. I've been known to race my students to finish math puzzles, I read whenever I can, and I like to participate in warrior dash races. In addition to my experience and personal qualities, I have a solid educational foundation and a passion for tutoring.

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.
