Jamison

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a very patient and understanding person. I speak clearly and always make sure I can help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is patience. I never rush a student and treat them with the utmost respect.

Yuxuan

AP Statistics Tutor • +72 Subjects

I am studying Chemical Biology in UC Berkeley. One of my passions is Organic Chemistry, which I used to loath but now enjoys after taking a year of it. Also, because I like helping others, I enjoys tutoring/teaching students who are struggling. During high school, I have tutored other high students after school on various subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Latin. During college, I have held informal review sessions for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for my underclassmen. I tutored my roommate and one of my underclassmen in Organic Chemistry. Finally, with a Graduate Student TA, I co-taught a Organic Chemistry Lab class section , where I answer questions regarding lab material and demonstrate lab techniques. Currently, I am interested in tutoring Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Calculus

I am currently pursuing my M.A. in Mathematics Education through Northern Arizona University. Of course I love to teach math, especially to those students that have a history of hating it, but English is also a great passion and strength of mine. Outside of teaching, I am the sponsor of my school's Korean Club, I coach the varsity pom team, I choreograph the school musicals, and I am a member of a small dance company, so I have a high respect for the arts as well. Hobbies: art, books, music, dancing, reading, writing

Elise

Statistics Graduate Level Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a graduate of the Creighton University School of Medicine where I received my M.D. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Philosophy at Marquette University in 2018. During my time at Marquette, I tutored General Biology and General Chemistry, and I was a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry lab. Not only did I enjoy teaching students my age, but I also pursued teaching opportunities for younger students in high school and middle school. I was a gross anatomy instructor for high school students taking tours through the cadaver labs and I was one of the founders of the Marquette Brain Brigade, where a group of undergraduate students came up with demos/lessons in neuroscience to teach middle school students. Moreover, I sought out private tutoring opportunities at a company called Huntington Learning Center both during undergrad and during medical school where I tutored a wide variety of subjects, including ACT/SAT, for virtually all age groups. I am very comfortable teaching various subjects and ages, and I am a laid back and flexible person. The subjects I am most comfortable teaching would be the sciences anywhere from the basic level to graduate school level. I am so grateful for the educators that allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor, and I would love to pass it on and help younger students achieve their goals.

Thara

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a rising sophomore at Duke University. My dream is to become a doctor someday, so I am currently on the pre-med track and taking several chemistry and biology courses. Although my current focus is in science, I have a passion for history and culture. This past summer I participated in a study abroad program in Costa Rica, where I had the privilege of meeting and speaking with people from several different backgrounds, such as an indigenous tribe and the "ancianos" from a senior living home. Because this invaluable experience, I am continuing my studies in Spanish language and culture. Because I graduated high school only a year ago, the subjects that I was taught are still fresh in my mind, especially AP courses. I am very familiar with the AP curriculum, as I have taken 10 AP classes over the course of high school, and spent a fair amount of time preparing and learning strategies for taking the tests. I enjoy learning and teaching a broad range of subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring in Algebra, Spanish, and History. My primary concern is to foster a positive environment for the student, so they feel confident in asking me questions and comfortable making mistakes. In my free time, I play badminton, read fiction, serve the community, and go on the occasional hunt for Pokmon. Hobbies: art, movies, books, reading, writing, music

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With 195 school districts across the Phoenix area serving over 278,000 students, Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them—whether they attend public, charter, or private schools. Tutors are familiar with the different curriculum approaches and standards across Phoenix's diverse districts, so they can provide personalized instruction that aligns with your student's specific school.

Tutors work with students on Arizona's grade-level standards and benchmarks, whether that's mastering foundational skills or preparing for state assessments. They understand the specific learning expectations in Arizona and can target instruction to help students build confidence in areas where they're struggling, from elementary math fundamentals through high school coursework.

Phoenix students commonly seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, and test preparation for standardized assessments. Many students also benefit from tutoring in science, history, and foreign languages. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all subjects, so whether your student needs support in core academics or specialized areas, there's personalized help available.

The first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current level, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student stands, identify any knowledge gaps, and work together to create a personalized plan. This foundation helps tutors deliver targeted instruction that moves your student forward from day one.

Phoenix schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1, which means teachers are managing many students with varying needs. One-on-one tutoring provides undivided attention tailored to your student's pace and learning style—something that's difficult in a classroom setting. Research shows personalized instruction significantly improves learning outcomes, especially for students who need extra support or want to accelerate.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring solutions that fit different budgets, whether you need weekly sessions or intensive support before a big exam. You can discuss your needs and get matched with tutors at price points that work for your family.

Tutors are experienced educators and subject experts who understand how to teach effectively one-on-one. Many have teaching credentials, advanced degrees, or specialized expertise in their subject areas. Varsity Tutors carefully vets tutors to ensure they're equipped to help students succeed, and you can learn about any tutor's background before connecting.

Many students show improvement in confidence and understanding within the first few sessions, though the timeline depends on the student's starting point and goals. Some see grade improvements within a few weeks, while others benefit from longer-term support to build strong foundational skills. Tutors work with you to track progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep your student moving forward.
