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...

Diana
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects
I am a graduate of Stanford University. I received my BA in Philosophy, and continued with graduate studies at Brown University where I received my MA in philosophy and completed all my course requirements for a PhD in philosophy. After several adventurous decades including travel in Africa and Asia, building a house in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, running a business designing and selling jewelry, and building alternative straw bale buildings on my property in the White Mountains of Arizona, I started tutoring math at Northland Pioneer College in Snowflake and Show Low, AZ. The past two years I have been spending most of my time in the Phoenix area where I am tutoring math, ranging from arithmetic to algebra to trig and calculus, with my main love and main focus being on algebra. What I love about algebra is the detective work---figuring out what needs to be done to solve a problem instead of just attacking it with a calculator. My tutoring style is to adapt my explanations to the needs of my students---there are always several ways to do any given problem, and I ask questions to determine which way will work best for an individual student. In my spare time, I am an artist, in ceramics and fused glass; and I love reading, mainly non-fiction in the area of personal growth and development.
Ansh
AP Chemistry Tutor • +5 Subjects
I have over two years of tutoring and teaching experience at Case Western Reserve University. I served as a Supplemental Instructor for ENGR 145 (Chemistry of Materials), where I created worksheets, led review sessions, and helped students develop strong conceptual foundations. I later worked as a Teaching Assistant for ENGR 210 (Circuits and Instrumentation), grading assignments and assisting students with hands-on circuit building and lab work. As a Biomedical Engineering major on the pre-med track, I specialize in tutoring pre-health and engineering courses, including General and Physical Chemistry, Math, Biology, Physics, and Anatomy and Physiology. I also provide MCAT preparation in the B/B, C/P, and P/S sections. My teaching approach focuses on clear explanations, active problem-solving, and adapting to each student's learning style. I strive to make challenging material approachable while helping students build confidence and independent learning skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Maricopa's 20 schools and all 6 school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Maricopa Unified School District, Chandler-Gilbert Community College's K-12 programs, or another local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic needs.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1 in Maricopa schools, many students benefit from one-on-one instruction that classroom settings simply can't provide. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who focus entirely on their learning style, pace, and specific gaps—allowing for the kind of individualized attention that helps students catch up, stay ahead, or build confidence in challenging subjects.
Tutors who work with Maricopa students are familiar with Arizona's academic standards and the expectations across grade levels and subject areas. They can target specific skills your student needs to master—whether that's Arizona's math standards, English language arts benchmarks, or science concepts—and use targeted practice and feedback to help them progress.
Students in Maricopa seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with math and English language arts being among the most common, especially as students prepare for state assessments and high school transitions. We also work with many students on science, social studies, test prep (including SAT and ACT), and subject-specific support in areas like algebra, geometry, and writing skills.
In the first session, the tutor will get to know your student—their current academic level, learning style, specific challenges, and goals. They'll assess what's working and where support is needed, then create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps ensure every session afterward is focused and effective for your student's unique needs.
Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who can work around school schedules, extracurricular activities, and family commitments. Whether your student needs consistent weekly sessions during the school year or intensive support before a big test or assignment, tutoring can be customized to fit your family's schedule.
When a student is struggling, personalized tutoring provides the focused support and encouragement they need to catch up. Tutors can break down difficult concepts into manageable pieces, use different teaching approaches tailored to how your student learns best, and build confidence through small wins. This targeted approach helps students close gaps and get back on track with their peers.
Getting started is simple—just tell us about your student's grade level, the subject they need help with, and your scheduling preferences. Varsity Tutors will match them with an expert tutor who's a great fit, and you can meet for your first session quickly. Most families are connected with a tutor and meeting within days.
