Justin
BA University of Chicago • Current Grad Student, Philosophy University of New Mexico-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With 31 school districts across the Albuquerque area serving nearly 87,000 students, Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in APS, Rio Rancho, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Albuquerque's average student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1 means many students don't get individualized attention in the classroom. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by giving your student dedicated focus on their specific learning needs, whether they're struggling with a concept or ready to accelerate.

Albuquerque students typically seek help in math, English/language arts, science, and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, and New Mexico state assessments). We also connect students with tutors in Spanish, social studies, and AP/honors courses. The specific needs vary by grade level and school, but math and reading support are consistently in high demand across the area.

Yes. Tutors who work with students in Albuquerque are familiar with New Mexico's standards, including state assessments and graduation requirements. This means they can help students prepare for specific benchmarks while reinforcing core skills that align with what schools expect at each grade level.

The first session is about getting to know your student and understanding their goals. The tutor will assess where they stand academically, identify specific challenges, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps ensure that every session after builds on what works best for your student.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families to find options that fit their budget and schedule. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we can discuss what works best for your situation and help you get started.

Tutors who work with Varsity Tutors are vetted professionals with expertise in their subjects—many are teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators. They're selected for both their knowledge and their ability to teach effectively, ensuring your student gets quality instruction tailored to their learning style.

Many students see noticeable progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. Regular 1-on-1 instruction helps students build confidence and skills faster than classroom learning alone, especially when combined with practice between sessions.
