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 Emergency Medicine Doctor. I fell in love with a few things when I was young: math and medicine. I was the top in my class for math scores, but I knew that could not take me into a career I would love.

Leah
College English Tutor • +10 Subjects
I am a graduate of Ithaca College with a B.A. in Spanish. Since graduation, I have taught English in Alcazar de San Juan and Madrid, Spain for four years. There, I taught adults, primary school aged students and adolescents. I am really fond of learning languages and I am most passionate about tutoring Spanish and ESL. I enjoy preparing creative lesson plans, teaching the Jolly phonics phonetic system to primary school students, evaluating and assessing students' progress and preparing students for the Trinity, Starters, Movers, Flyers, KET and First Certificate Cambridge exams. As a native English speaker, I know exactly how I would like to be taught Spanish and design a variety of activities based on what the student desires. I am a firm believer in education and enjoy sharing this appreciation with others. I am accustomed to working with people from many different backgrounds and eagerly modify my teaching to meet the need of each individual. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the cinema, singing, acting, reading and learning languages.
Leo
ACT Math Tutor • +27 Subjects
I have enjoyed solving problems and identifying patterns from a young age. As a result, mathematics has become my favorite subject in life. I have been curious to discover how mathematics affects our daily life in the real world. It is exciting to solve different types of problems by using analytical skills and mathematical knowledge. I believe being a mathematician is right for me.I have been tutoring since 2007. I have gained understanding of mathematical concepts. It has really attracted me to learn and teach math. It is really a pleasure to teach Algebra, Geometry, middle and high school math at different places such as at Lehman College, learning centers or private one-to-one sessions. It has been an inspiration in that I have discovered ideas and a way of thinking which I didnt know.In my own time, I enjoy travelling, reading, listening music and swimming. I work as a school business administrator full time and teach math part time to the kids. I love working with young people and seeing their minds and mathematical ability develop. I look forward to get opportunity to meet and interact with young people to increase their math knowledge and abilities.

Alex
Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects
I'm a graduate of Robert Morris University where I earned my BSBA in Economics and Finance. After graduating from RMU I attended Johns Hopkins University where I earned my MA in Applied Economics. My interests lie in the fields of banking, energy, healthcare, and public policy.I have a passion for both teaching and learning. With respect to my teaching style, being a tutor affords me the ability to cater specifically to how each individual student learns. For example, a student may learn best by reading course materials, listening to a teacher/professor's lecture, writing good notes, etc... During my tutoring sessions I will identify how each student learns best and cater our time together accordingly.I believe that my educational and career experiences have equipped me with the necessary skills to be a highly effective tutor. Being in the workplace allows for me to take theory and examples from coursework and apply it to real world situations.Aside from the books and learning, I love sports (watching and playing), movies, and doing just about anything outside.I'm capable of supporting students across many different courses and should you feel that we would be a good fit as, tutor and student, then I hope to work with you soon!
Carolyn
Elementary Math Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am a graduate of The Ohio State University and received my Bachelor of Arts in Korean. After graduation, I was blessed with various opportunities and experiences that have enriched the quality of my life. I interned for 3 months under the professional golfer in Dallas, TX. I worked with their non-profit organization that provides aid to young and aspiring golfers and traveled to Tampa, Florida and Seoul, South Korea. After the internship ended, I returned to Columbus, Ohio and had a number of odd jobs before starting full-time at The Ohio State University. At The Ohio State University, I worked at the Office of Legal Affairs as a legal secretary/front-desk receptionist for 2 years before realizing my passion for helping children. So I decided to quit my desk job and am currently enrolled at OSU studying child psychology.I am approved to tutor Elementary and Middle school level Math, Reading, English, Study skills and Organization, ESL/ELL, ISEE-Lower Level, SSAT-Elementary Level, Korean language and Korean culture. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite subject is Korean language and culture. I love sharing and spreading my heritage with others and enjoy learning about other cultures as well. My #1 policy for tutoring is patience. I believe every person deserves a second chance (and maybe even a third, fourth and fifth!) and will strive to always be patient and encouraging when working with students. As far as teaching style, I will do an assessment of new clients and will apply Bloom's taxonomy in every project. I start off by making sure the student remembers and understands the basic knowledge of a concept, then I will help the student apply and analyze their knowledge for a deeper and enriching learning experience. After a few sessions, I'll re-evaluate the student's needs and make any necessary modifications in order to help the student attain their goal(s).Another large part of my life is devoted to volunteering at church. I was the Treasurer and Vice President of the Young Adults/College group for the year of 2013. I am currently the Praise Team leader for Friday worship service and enjoy singing and playing piano. Every summer, I volunteer as a counselor for Ohio Youth Camp and last summer, I traveled to Jamaica for 10 days on a short-term mission trip. Also in my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, listening to music, running, and watching comedies.

Ambar
Biology Tutor • +4 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University at Albany, SUNY. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I was a student of SUNY Albany’s Collegiate Science Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) which provides academic support and research opportunities for underrepresented students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. As part of CSTEP, I tutored General Biology I/II to Biology and Human Biology majors as well as mentored and advised students with their science curriculum and class schedules. I am passionate about medicine and will be applying to Physician Assistant School in the near future. I am also passionate about educational equity and am currently volunteering with GO Project providing academic and emotional support to elementary school students at risk of failing. I believe in each and every one of the students I tutor and strive to help them unleash their academic potential and gain confidence in their ability to comprehend a material. Becoming enthusiastically involved in the learning process is key to academic success, and I promise to make learning Biology fun! In my spare time, I enjoy reading, creative writing, traveling, and cooking.
Bolivar
AP Biology Tutor • +35 Subjects
I am a graduate student at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I am completing my masters degree in Conservation Ecology. My research topic is agroecology, specifically how carbon and nitrogen ratios in from shade trees in coffee agroecosystems influence ground-dwelling ant communities. My over-arching theme is decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems and I got about answering questions about this in various ways (e.g. ants). At the University of Michigan, I have served as a graduate student instructor in two courses both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Having the opportunity to teach and mentor students at those levels is very exciting. Nevertheless, I love to introduce students all levels of new concepts and ideas. I most enjoy teaching/tutoring concepts of ecology, biology, chemistry, and environmental science. I am also a native Spanish speaker, hence tutoring Spanish lessons comes naturally to me. I am committed to helping move beyond their barriers and excel in their education. When I am not in the laboratory, I enjoy running, hiking and training with my dog.
Katelyn
ACT Prep Tutor • +35 Subjects
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Education 1-6 with a Mathematics Concentration from Niagara University. I also received a minor in Sign Language. I continued my education at Niagara to achieve my Master's Degree in Special Education 7-12. I have been teaching in a classroom for 3 years but have been working in a classroom atmosphere since 2012. My favorite subject to tutor is math. I really enjoy Sign Language and continue to teach it to my current students. I believe that students should have a hands on learning experience and want to be motivated. Tutoring sessions should be more student-led so that they are getting the experience necessary to achieve the grades they want to.

Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects
I am a second year student at the University of New Mexico, working towards bachelor's degrees in Biology and Chemistry. My passion lies in the biological sciences, with an emphasis in ecology, evolution, and organismal biology. From cell structure and function to broader ecology, I simply find Biology enthralling and naturally is my favorite subject to tutor. However, I have a broad spectrum of topics that I enjoy ranging from German to Physics, all of which I would be happy to tutor. Education is an essential part of life, whether it be a trade or academic, but at times can be difficult and stressful. No matter if you are having a rough semester, or simply didn't do as well as you hoped on an exam, I believe that all students can achieve their academic goals if given a helping hand. Through helping foster a better understanding of course material, I hope to give my students the confidence they need to brush themselves off and know that academic success is still possible, even if it looks a bit different than it did before. A love for learning has led me to where I am today and is a quality I hope to impart to all my students.

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.
