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...

Katie
Accounting Tutor • +44 Subjects
I completed my education at Texas A&M University and the University of Phoenix. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business-Hospitality Management and my Masters of Business Administration (MBA). I am extremely passionate about education and personal growth and strongly believe that an educated world is a better world. If I can help with that mission in any way, I'm excited and motivated to do so. Since I was in elementary school, I was always the "go-to" girl to help others in my class. I have found that I have a natural gift for helping people feel good about themselves (kids and adults alike) and have translated that gift in my work as a tutor as well as my career. Although I am knowledgeable in many academic areas, my favorite subjects are English and Mathematics and I have found that my excitement about these subjects is why I am so successful in helping others improve in these areas. I cater my teaching style depending on each student's learning style. Because everyone learns differently, I find it extremely important to get to know my students in the very first session to ensure that we will both be successful in reaching our goals. In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, camping, and music.
Robert
Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects
I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh in April 2015. I pursued engineering because of my passion for science and mathematics, which I love to share with my students. During my undergraduate years, I assisted in research across various engineering and scientific disciplines: epidemiology, geology, robotics, and reaction engineering.My aim is to impart to my students the skills and abilities that helped me succeed academically. Chief among these is a love for learning, and that understanding base principles in any subject will make future work in that subject easier. I love to help my students to understand these core principles of math and science, because the ability to figure things out from just a few ideas is the most beautiful and elegant concept in the fields.In my spare time, I love to play music. I have played the cello for over 20 years, and I played it in a rock band, Kalon, for a decade. I also like to read a variety of fiction and nonfiction. Some of my favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Cormac McCarthy, Hermann Hesse, Neil Gaiman, and Kurt Vonnegut. I also enjoy playing board games, like Settlers of Catan and Pandemic. I am an enormous hockey fan and also love to watch soccer.

I believe two fundamental things: that education opens all doors and that anyone can learn, given the right tools.Being an educator most of my life, I've seen children and adults of all ages reach goals they'd never consider within their reach - I hope to provide the same to you through tailoring different learning styles to their personality.

Joe
Biology Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a graduate of Rutgers University where I studied environmental chemistry. I eventually found that I have a passion for teaching, so I completed my Master's in science education. I have been a certified biology and chemistry teacher for about 12 years, and I have been tutoring for about 20 years. I typically tutor science subjects like biology and chemistry, but I also have a strong background in math, so I will occasionally tutor algebra, precalc, and geometry. I enjoy helping students connect the information they learn in school to situations encountered in everyday life. Everything you study can be applied to the real world!!
Beth
ACT English Tutor • +54 Subjects
My name is Beth, and I am a graduate from Auburn University. I graduated summa cum laude and have a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish and a Bachelor's Degree in German.I absolutely loved my academic career, and I owe finding my own path to a very special teacher I had while in high school. The effort she put in to each of her lessons and caring she showed to each individual student is something that I strive to provide each of my students with.I currently work at Downers Grove High School as a paraprofessional in the Special Services Department. I strive to make sure that every student has the opportunity to succeed, and I understand that the path to success varies from person to person.In addition to my background in foreign languages, I really enjoyed all of my math courses, and a major part of my job at DGS is helping students with their math of all levels.
Elliot
ACT English Tutor • +29 Subjects
I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt working toward a major in neuroscience with minors in chemistry and psychology. I was born and raised in Nashville, so middle Tennessee is definitely home for me. My main area of focus for tutoring is ACT Prep; however, Im proficient in many maths and sciences as well as grammar mechanics. In high school I took many ACT Prep classes and tutors. Because of my familiarity with the test, I have high confidence in my ability to drastically elevate my student's ACT scores.Outside of academia I enjoy to play tennis (Brentwood High Tennis) and exercise in general, typically weightlifting. I can draw almost every character of Spongebob and wish I could tutor specifically in that. I have a passion for science and practically all branches of STEM fields, especially neuroscience and biology. As clich as it is, and as clich as saying "as clich as it is...", education is power and can transform every aspect of one's world. For that reason, I would love the opportunity to help catalyze your learning.
Bailey
Biochemistry Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a senior at the University of Oklahoma currently applying to medical school for entrance into the fall class of 2017! Because I am only four classes away from earning my Bachelor's of Science in Biology at OU, I will only be taking two classes this fall, and finishing up with two classes in the spring. This gives me a lot of extra time time to tutor in academic areas that I enjoy! I also have extensive childcare experience and love tutoring elementary age students, as well.
Daniel
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +49 Subjects
I recently graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Education Studies and English. While at Vanderbilt, I learned the best practices for developing literacy in secondary education students. At school, we examined the problems with deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use them to solve new, bigger problems. I've worked with students as young as five years old, all the way to graduate students working on their post-doc's. I always bring a positive energy to tutoring sessions, and I try to inspire a real love of learning in all my students. In my spare time I enjoy live theatre, and I've even been known to get on stage myself from time to time.

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.
