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...

Business Tutor • +47 Subjects
I graduated from Northeastern State University in Oklahoma with a degree in special needs education, I am working on my masters in autism as well. I have been a in education, both teaching in public schools and tutoring for over 30 years! I enjoy teaching about the things I love, such as Spanish, all elementary subjects, writing and reading. I think my favorite subjects are anything to do with languages, such as Spanish, English and writing. My enthusiasm is contagious! I am excited about what I teach, what I learn, as well as biking, hiking, swimming, scuba diving and travel. When I'm not inspiring my students, I volunteer as a minister, I teach (even for fun, that's how much I love teaching) I travel and lead group hikes and tours throughout the United States. I know you'll enjoy working with me. I am patient and friendly. I am usually calm and sometimes silly. I craft enjoyable, engrossing lessons where you walk way thinking "wow! I learned something new, had fun and my brain is tired!."

I am currently a Masters level student at Regent University and will graduate with a Masters in Human Services in December 2021. Throughout my college years I have been a nanny to many children and have helped them through reading issues and homework in general. I was Also a peer mentor and helped the tutor Psychology and Education students at my college.I work in an individual way where I focus on the learning style of the student and help them to gain confidence in their study habits. I enjoy getting to know people and I understand that everyone learns differently and no matter the grade or level they are at, they deserve to be taught in that way. If a student is very visual like I am I use PowerPoints, print outs and pictures to help to understand the concepts they are learning.

Michael
Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects
I was born and raised in San Diego, California where I spent 7 years at UCSD to attain my bachelor's degree in physics with a specialization in earth science and master's degree in geophysics. After a year off, I moved to St Louis, Missouri to get my PhD in geophysics at Washington University in St Louis. I'm now living in Tempe, Arizona and looking to help some students with math and science.I'm one of those people who actually enjoys doing math and science, and I think it is very important for people to understand the concepts and ideas behind these subjects. Understanding math and science provide a different way of looking at the world and solving problems. I look forward to working with you and helping to prepare you for the future.

I have been a tutor for over three years and have worked with students ages 5-15. Patience, communication, and fun activities have helped my students and me pinpoint where they are struggling and improve their understanding of difficult math, reading, and science topics. I have been a student a majority of my life and can relate to the struggle of trying to grasp complicated material and asking for help only to receive answers that seemed to raise more questions than answers. With these experiences I have learned about a variety of way of explaining, demonstrating, and practicing STEM subjects. I share with students my tips on organization, different study methods, and stress management that can be applied outside of the tutoring sessions and help them tackle hard topics.

I look for opportunities to connect a mathematical concept to something we use in our every day life.I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from CUNY city college, an M.A in Statistics from CUNY Hunter college, and an M.S in Data Science from CUNY School of Professional Studies. During the day, I am a full time Data Scientist working in one of the largest companies in the world.
Bethany
Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects
In 1992, Teen Barbie was heard saying, "Math Class is tough," which was often misquoted as, "Math is hard." Math Class can be tough and math can be hard, but it doe not have to be. Even though math always has one right answer, there are many different paths to get there. Just as we find our own groove to the music, we all must find our own math groove. As a teacher, I am their DJ as well as their instructor helping them to determine which genre of music speaks to them as well as introducing them to new material.My goal is for my students to be autonomous and be able to solve complex problems without prompting from me. My students need to feel safe and encouraged not only to succeed but also to feel safe to fail. We sometimes learn the most from our failures, and my students must understand that at times, we all make mistakes, but we must learn from them and keep striving for success. Success will come to each student in his or her own time and in his or her own way. I am just a catalyst to help make it happen.
Sofia
Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects
I love the world of STEM - from math, to physics, to chemistry. I guess that's why I became an engineer! I am hoping to help young minds feel inspired and empowered to contribute to the ever-changing field of STEM.I discovered tutoring a few years ago when I realized that the best way for me to master a subject was also by sharing my knowledge of the subject with others - so we could each succeed together. Mentoring is a big passion of mine so by tutoring young minds, it has allowed me to become a role model for some students as they navigate through their academic goals.I have have discovered ways to simplify complex subjects to others by improving note-taking skills, showing step-by-step work/examples, color-coding information, and making the topics within a subject more engaging. This has helped students make tutoring feel more fun rather than feel like a chore or "extra school."I have also managed to navigate a tutoring environment both in-person and virtual so I can easily adapt to current circumstances if needed.

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.
