I just graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Texas Tech University. I am currently in the process of applying for dental schools and hope to one day become an orthodontist. I have an immense passion for learning, and the best way for me to learn is to teach. When I was in college I would always offer to tutor my friends in their classes, and I ended up doing this for the 3.5 years that I was in school. Every time I would see how I was helping them achieve their goals I would fall more in love with teaching. Now that I am out of school I still want to continue to be able to help people learn in a fun environment, so they can enjoy what they are learning. I have found my passion in the dental field and I hope to help others find their passion as well!

Usama
Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Music. Since Freshman year, I have been tutoring students in Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. As I await entry into medical school, I will continue to avidly tutor these subjects.At the end of the day, I just have experience tutoring. I know how it works and how to get results. Most times the student's actual problems aren't addressed and the interaction between student and tutor is very passive and does not garner results. I work with the student and ensure that all concepts are thoroughly ingrained before moving on to the next one.When I'm not enriching young minds, I enjoy performing stand up comedy. I also do a lot of music based projects, so basically I'm a fun guy. Really!

Lorraine
Certified Reading Intervention Tutor • +18 Subjects
I have worked at an amusement park, I have been a hairstylist, a wife, a stay at home mom, a college student, a special education teacher, and a reading specialist . . . in that order! My education continues as I learn more about reading research. I encourage my students to reach for their dreams, do their best, become independent, and love themselves as they are. I have a special interest in hidden disabilities and I do not see a person as disabled. I believe that a person is not the label; they are so much more than that and should never settle for anything less than they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Pasadena's 49 schools and 4 school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Pasadena Unified School District, South Pasadena Unified, or other local districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands California's academic standards and can provide personalized support tailored to their needs.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 21.6:1 in Pasadena schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to fill gaps and accelerate learning. Tutoring provides the individualized attention that allows your student to ask questions freely, work at their own pace, and get targeted help on the specific concepts they're struggling with—something that's harder to achieve in larger classroom settings.
Tutors who work with Pasadena students are familiar with California's academic standards and assessments, including CAASPP testing and grade-level expectations. They can help your student master core concepts in math, English language arts, science, and other subjects while building the critical thinking and problem-solving skills California standards emphasize.
Your student's first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand their academic strengths, challenges, and learning style. The tutor will assess where your student stands, discuss your goals, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring can best support their success—whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a specific subject.
Pasadena students typically seek tutoring in math, English language arts, science, and test preparation (SAT, ACT, AP exams). We also connect students with tutors for foreign languages, history, and subject-specific support across middle and high school coursework. Whatever your student needs, Varsity Tutors can match them with an expert tutor in that area.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level. We work with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit your budget—whether you're looking for weekly sessions or intensive support for a specific goal. Contact us to discuss your needs and get a personalized quote.

Getting started is simple—tell us about your student's needs, academic goals, and preferred subjects, and we'll match them with a tutor who's the right fit.
