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...

Stephanie

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University with a bachelors degree in both English and History and am currently pursuing my Masters degree in History at the University of Pennsylvania. My long-term goals include enrolling in a Phd program in the History department and becoming a form of history or social studies teacher post-graduation. I currently work with Varsity Tutoring as an online tutor and want to expand my tutoring opportunities. During my time at Cornell, I participated in a tutoring program for two years called AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) which is an organization that aims to close the achievement gap between students and prepare them for college and other postsecondary opportunities. Many of the goals that were part of the program, such as teaching students skills and behaviors for academic success, providing intensive support to maintain positive student/teacher relationships and developing a sense of personal achievement through hard work.Part of AVID meant working with students from historically underrepresented communities. These students often had family problems or were the first person in their family hoping to attend college. I had to work with these students, through their personal problems and insecurities to develop a successful academic plan for success. As a tutor, I am extremely meticulous and keen on time management. I usually tutor in English or History for the regents, SAT subject tests, or Advanced Placement exams.My course of action involves three main steps:First, I identify the areas that the student needs the most help in. I prepare a simple and easy to read outline for them on the subject. I also make a few flash cards to get the student started, even if flashcards arent their preferred study method. This way, we have a starting point to work from. A tutor should put in just as much effort as their student is putting in. From my perspective, successful tutoring involves equal input and effort from both parties involved.Second, I identify the learning style of the student and ask them questions about what learning methods they prefer. This way, I can adjust the way I tutor in accordance to what works the best for the student. I want to be flexible as a teacher to be able to work with a particular students learning style, whether its hands on, visual, auditory, etc. When a student has a problem, I want to be able to work with other teachers to figure out the best way to give the student the support they need.Lastly, I create a tutor schedule with the student and show them exactly what we will review and how we will review it. This is to create a sense of organization for the student and myself. I want the student to provide feedback on tutoring methods because their input is crucial to the success of the tutoring. Communication between the tutor and student is key because if something is not working or the student is not understanding a particular topic, we need to work together to find a method that will work better for the student.Whether I tutor in large or small groups, I focus on the learning experience. I want my students to strength their imaginations, foster creativity, and put in the hard work that it takes to become independent as a student. I believe that giving these skills to students will allow them to become prepared for college and leave the world a better place than they found it. I hope that I can help facilitate the students in this rewarding process. I thank you for taking the opportunity to read my application and hope to hear back from you.

Keturah

Academic Coaching Tutor • +19 Subjects

I hold a doctoral degree in Chemistry from Texas A&M University. Currently I am a postdoctoral associate at Trinity University where I am pursing additional training in teaching and research. Teaching has been a passion of mine; from my eagerness to mentor the kids in my neighborhood to my excitement of giving a mini lecture on the concept of balancing chemical equations in my middle school class to the time I gave my first research talk in college. Such moments have played a significant role in my long term career goals of teaching and mentoring students as they prepare for their different academic work. My attitude towards learning is "don't be afraid to ask for help". Essentially, I look forward to working with students to help them succeed in the areas they need help with.

ACT Math Tutor • +40 Subjects

When asked why I like Mathematics, I realized that it is all down to my personality. Being a composed, disciplined person, I enjoy the challenge of questions with unequivocal answers. My character’s orderly side draws me enthusiastically towards neat solutions, my creativity gives rise to my acceptance of new ideas and my positive mind results in my wish to succeed. All questions have definite answers; we just need to construct ways of reaching them.I have two years experience teaching High School math and over 3 years experience teaching college level math. I am known to be a calm, patient and understanding instructor amongst my peers. I know math isn't for everybody, but I can help somebody endure a math class and come to appreciate it.

Kevin

Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

I graduated summa cum laude from Duke University with a BSE in Biomedical Engineering, and I will be continuing my education this fall at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My interests in math and science led me to pursue an engineering major in college, but ultimately my passion for helping others steered me towards a career in the field of medicine. In my free time, you can most often find me hanging out with friends, playing basketball, working out, or eating pizza.One of my favorite methods of helping others is teaching. As an older brother, I have been teaching in some forms throughout most of my life. In high school, most of my teaching experience came from annual basketball camps that the varsity team would hold for elementary-age players. In college, I gained plenty of experience on the academic side of teaching, as I was a TA for an introductory computer programming class, a paid peer tutor for physics, and, for three years, the treasurer of a Duke-based high school tutoring organization. I am very invested in my students' success, and nothing makes me happier than helping them to finally grasp a difficult concept. I know that every student learns differently, so I always start my tutoring sessions by first trying to learn what the student's strengths and weaknesses are. After allowing them to work through and explain a few problems in front of me, I try to tailor an individualized teaching method to best suit each student's specific needs. While my methods may not be the perfect match for every student out there, I can promise that I will always be a patient, diligent, and understanding tutor, and I will be genuinely dedicated to helping each of my students achieve their goals.

Angel

Calculus Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am currently a senior at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. I mainly focus on getting a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering with outlook of having a career involving Computer Architecture. I started tutoring in middle school and high school when my younger brother started school in elementary and haven't stopped since then. I've also helped large group of kids in the age group of 8-12 on an educational version of Minecraft throughout all 4 years of high school. As an up and coming engineer, mathematics are the bread and butter of my learning experience at Rose-Hulman and I continually use them until well throughout my life and beyond. Because of this, tutoring mathematics (and Java coding among other languages) gives me great joy as there's always a solution to a problem and there are infinite amount of variance as to solving said problems. Hopefully by the time the session ends, I'll be able to give the students not only a better understanding of the material, but also enjoy their time while studying by themselves. During my free time, I mainly experience many entertainment mediums such as manga, movies, and video games.

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.
