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 committed to serving others and guaranteeing the success of my students. My passion is helping those in need and alleviating struggle, especially with academics! I especially love working with the French language.I have just completed a Bachelor of Arts in French from Belmont University and am pursuing teaching opportunities related to this degree. I also spent a semester in Angers, France, completing classes at the University located there. I primarily focused on translation, which is one of my favorite things to do with French. I have been lucky enough to get to travel extensively around Europe, which has greatly enriched my language abilities. I have tutored French for two years and have even instructed an adult French course. I love sharing this language with others and helping others understand its many complexities!I am a great test taker and have scored very highly on the ACT, SAT, and AP French exams. I also have completed several upper level English Literature and Writing courses, which qualifies me to aid with literature analysis, essay construction, and other writing struggles. Having studied a foreign language for more than ten years, I am very attuned to the English language as well.My teaching style primarily includes a lot of visual presentation, and putting knowledge into practice through questions and activities. I am constantly striving to adapt my teaching methods for all students.My availability is very flexible, so please contact me even if your schedule doesn't appear to work with mine.

ACT English Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am currently receiving my bachelors degree from the University of Central Florida in the field of Technical Writing. While I do not have the degree just yet, come May it will be official. Past this degree, I am looking at working on a masters in Creative Writing. My tutoring experience mainly comes from my time in the Boy Scouts of America, especially after receiving my eagle award when many of the boys looked to me for guidance and help with their work. Past that, I have worked with my mother and her students (she teaches college math courses and tutors high school students), not to mention helping my brother with his work on any given occasion. I personally love to tutor anything to do with writing and reading as they are both absolutely fascinating worlds to work through and explore, even on an academic level. This sort of view is what drive my philosophy in that students need a good foundation before they can truly excel and enjoy the expansive world of language and utilize all it has to offer. My own teaching methods focus on the foundation of grammar and writing whilst also working towards all of the fun things you can play with past that initial step. My tutoring style to enforce this philosophy is to first learn about the personality of my students. Every person on Earth learns in a different way and should thus have a personal approach to their own teaching. I work with students to learn their own best style and figure out the sorts of lessons from there that would best improve their skills. Outside of academia, I spend most of my time backpacking, scuba diving, and playing video games should the weather not cooperate for either of the other two.

Stephen
Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects
I've been teaching math, physics, and economics from grades 6-12 for the last 15 years. I was certified to teach in Michigan and Illinois, and taught in both states. I have also taken classes in cognitive research, which has helped me understand how to teach most effectively so that students and properly understand and retain the information that they're learning. Because I've taught many different subjects and age groups, I have a broader understanding of teaching and learning than most educators, which helps me find a particular way to best help the individual student.

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.
