Im a graduate of Stony Brook University. I have my Bachelor of Science in Business Management Operations and International Business.

Im here to help in any stage of the writing process from brainstorming to editing a final paper. Im available for personal statements, literature analysis, resume writing, and creative writing. Im also versed in business writing from business plans to marketing strategy and elevator pitches. I believe in efficient and effective foundational structure building in any type of learning process, especially with writing. I work with students to set attainable goals to manage stress, expectations, and apply critical knowledge of the material into transferable skills.Outside my studies, I have achieved my piano Certificate of Merit from the Music Teachers Association of California after ten plus years. Finally, partaking in my school's debating society has taught me how to organize my ideas in a coherent style. For personal enjoyment, I submit my work to literary publications such as The Antigonish Review, Uncanny Magazine, Feminine Inquiry, and the Poetry Foundation.

Diamond

Elementary Reading and Phonics Class Tutor • +16 Subjects

Someone once told me that "educating little humans is a mind-boggling process and one that will also enrich your life!" It is the latter that I find to be more accurate and the reason why I love to teach. I strive to create a classroom environment where students are encouraged to be curious and creative, to appreciate each other's differences, and to instill a love of learning. I am honored to be a part of our students' educational journeys.I was born on a military installation in Heidelberg, Germany. My mother was in the Army, and my father was an engineer. For most of my childhood, I trailed behind my mother and father as they embarked on numerous missions in over 30 countries, across five different continents. I finally returned home upon starting my senior year of high school. Upon graduating from high school, I attended the University of Oklahoma where I later graduated with a B.A in Sociology. After college, I spontaneously decided to teach English in Taiwan. During my time in Taiwan, I learned a lot about Taiwanese culture and language. It was here that I relieved how much I enjoyed teaching and decided that I had to go back to school. In the Summer of 2016, I went back to school to pursue my Master's degree in International Education.I am now in my 4th year of teaching overseas, and I could not be happier. By growing up around so many different cultures and customs as a child, it has helped me to find common ground with almost anyone that I come across. Most importantly, it has helped me to connect with my multicultural students and their families. In my previous position as a 1st-gradeteacher at the American International School in Conakry, I made it clear to both the students and parents that I wanted to set a positive and inspirational learning environment. During activities, I encourage students to speak in their native language to convey thoughts and feelings about specific pieces of literature or to deconstruct a difficult math problem. By speaking both their local language and English, they were able to communicate and collaborate more effectively and thus were more likely to take risks and learn from them. In my current position as a 3rd grade teacher in Saudi Arabia, It is not uncommon for someone to walk into my classroom and see several students nestled in the reading corner, reading a "Just right" book, or to see students using Seesaw to demonstrate their knowledge of various text structures in a nonfiction book. This free and relaxing environment is what I thrived in as an international student and is what I try my best to replicate for the students.

Justin

Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

My interest in tutoring started in college. After a confusing lecture, I would often go 1-1 resources like office hours or TA help sessions. Here, I would be able to ask questions that clarified topics that would otherwise take me much longer to understand. Often I would relay this information to my friends, and I felt a sense of fulfillment in teaching it. Being able to help someone along to their "a-ha!" moment and share in that experience has been one of the greatest joys of teaching. In addition, doing so not only helped them, but also myself in solidifying my understanding of the material.This led me to take on various roles as a TA, both in 1-1 and in group settings later in my college career. My responsibilities ranged from weekly 1-1 sessions with multiple students to giving a review session to a large lecture class.Outside of academics, for all four years I have tutored middle/high school students in music in a 1-1 setting. This was through one of Yale's Dwight Hall service/outreach program. What interested me in tutoring music was the same sense of fulfillment, being able to watch someone progress overtime and see their face as they learn something new and enjoy it!

I am a May 2012 graduate of Princeton University with a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering currently working in Midtown Manhattan as a consultant. In the past I have had a variety of opportunities to tutor - from one on one tutoring for the SAT in high school and peer tutoring in college, to online tutoring students in Korea and and teaching a two month English seminar in Brazil. Although I have a variety of academic interests, my educational emphasis in math and sciences has led me doing the majority of my tutoring in these subjects. I have worked with students of all ages, learning styles, and strengths, and I love the opportunity to shape a learning experience together!

Miriam

Algebra Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am a current student at Washington University in St. Louis, and have been tutoring for the last four years. While I most commonly worked with younger students in the beginning, I gradually took on an influx of older students as my teaching style developed. Because of this, I have experience teaching students from all ages and backgrounds. With my youngest learner ever being 4 years old and my oldest in her 50's, I wholeheartedly believe anyone can learn. I have the experience and desire adapt to each student's unique style of learning in any subject they need; from learning ABCs to multi-variable calculus, I have experience in it all.

David

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +12 Subjects

Ever since high school in 2017, I have done tutoring that has helped my classmates around me. It has been since this period of time that I discovered an interest in passing down the knowledge that at times comes with difficulty to others. Over the years, I have taught privately across many subjects such as math, reading, science, english and Spanish. Throughout my experiences, I have come to enjoy teaching others and seeing them overcome the obstacles they first started with. I am currently attending St. John's University, and I am working toward earning my B.S. in Biomedical Sciences by 2024. As a Hispanic pre-med student coming from New York City, I mainly focus on tutoring math, reading, and science. By far my favorite subjects to tutor would be science and math, as they are a part of my passion, and it only motivates me further to be able to help others understand them at the end of the day. I have taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Algebra II, along with college-level Biology. All of my experiences have only further cemented my passion for helping others, as well as my goal of becoming a member of the medical field down the road.

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.
