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

Nevertheless, I have taught and mentored graduate students at Harvard and talented undergrads in a variety of disciplines and welcome helping with theses. In addition to teaching, I have a background in publishing and editing, and have been a writer since childhood. Language creates reality, and interpreting and using it well opens many doors.

I am currently in the process of applying to Law School. I have tutored middle school and high school students in subjects ranging from 5th grade reading to geometry to the SAT. While I am happy and able to tutor a number of subjects, I am most passionate about Test Prep because these scores are very important to students, and I enjoy helping them to conquer the test and succeed. My teaching philosophy can be described as a coaching style in which, like athletics, I believe learning the subject matter, good techniques, and constant practice are the best ways to achieving better scores.

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.
