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...

The Ancient Greeks called it episteme. Up until the 1840's, it was known as "natural philosophy." The contemporary world calls it science. It has had many names throughout its long history, but it will forever be my fascination. Science involves pure rational thought and is viewed as unbiased and un...

Ayana

Admissions Tutor • +10 Subjects

I am a junior at Harvard College studying the History of Science. I enjoy helping students overcome their academic frustrations and working towards comfort in their toughest subjects. I know the feeling of pride that comes with understanding complicated material! My passion for tutoring has led me to multiple previous academic coaching positions. I have a strong background in guiding high schoolers though their experiences, from helping them succeed in their classes to preparing them for the SAT to helping them apply to college. I have most recently started private individual tutoring sessions with high schoolers in Algebra and English. In the summer of 2019, I coached secondary school students at the prestigious Maru-a-Pula private school in Gaborone, Botswana, on the college admissions process and SAT preparation. I also have experience teaching younger students; my first teaching role was as an instructor at a gymnastics summer camp, where I taught young campers elementary school curricula, making my own lessons for each grade level. My years of practice have made me confident in my ability to work with many different ages of students and adapt to each student's individual learning and communication style. Outside of tutoring, I love staying active I am a member of my school's cheerleading team and I enjoy hiking and skiing.

Elizabeth

Accompaniment Tutor • +39 Subjects

As an Environmental Educator for New York State Parks, I act as a jack-of-all-trades for the thousands of visitors who come to our natural areas every summer. One day I could be giving a program on the geological formation of the Finger Lakes; another day, I could be hiking park trails to make sure everyone is safe and accounted for. Regardless of what I'm doing on any given day, one of the key components of my job is the ability to understand, paraphrase, and communicate complicated concepts to the public.Combined with my personal experience in coaching youth volleyball and serving as an interpreter for the US Forest Service last year, I have found I'm able to explain ideas well to people regardless of their background knowledge on any given topic. I'm looking forward to working with you!

I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your course goals!

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.
