Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

...University of Arizona. My primary interests in college were chemistry, biology (especially plant biology) and physical science. My desire is to help all students, no matter what their age or ability, to be successful in learning a subject, whether it's math or science or reading. I recognize that different learners learn differently, and I use different strategies to engage their ability to learn and succeed. There is nothing like the joy of seeing the "lightbulb"...

...and apply them in ways that were new and less standardized. I genuinely enjoy editing papers because I love seeing someone get their arguments across in ways they thought they couldn't. Finally, outside of academics, my interests are mostly in food. I cook and bake a whole lot, constantly experimenting with recipes. After all, it's still science. And I'm a frequent visitor to my local library. Reading and writing make my mostly mundane days so...

...to high school and college students preparing for exams or navigating challenging coursework. This range of experience has helped me adapt my teaching style to meet diverse learning needs and learning styles. I received my education through a rigorous mathematics program that emphasizes both theoretical understanding and real-world application. My goal is to continue deepening my knowledge while helping others do the same. My tutoring approach is student-centered and collaborative. I aim to create a...

...Anthropology and a BA in Gender Studies. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Gender Studies at the University of Arizona. I have 7 years of experience tutoring math and science. My favorite subjects to tutor are Algebra, Algebra II, and Chemistry, but I also really enjoy tutoring Physics and Geometry. My approach to tutoring is to pinpoint why a student is struggling and to work through difficulties with clear and novel explanations as well...

...two decades. I've worked as a tutor for Illinois Wesleyan University for over four years. There, I found my passion in teaching Spanish grammatical, conversational, and cultural skills and mentoring students with written English assignments at the college level in various fields. Those assignments included pretty much everything, from pieces of creative fiction, academic essays, and even cover letters. This flexibility also extends to my tutoring philosophy. I believe that every student has a unique...

...have participated in many National Science Foundation opportunities in Math and Computer Science. I have taught AP Statistics, AP Calculus AB and BC, and Computer Science A and AB (when it was offered). My rate of passing for all AP courses is over 90% ( and over 50% scoring a 5). I am currently retired from the classroom, but I am eager to share what I have to assist in the success of my students.

...sure can find a way to learn what I need and I try to take this attitude into my work with students. Everyone is a unique learner and it is my job to help find the best way for students to access skills/subjects that they are required to. I strive to develop a personal relationship with those that I work with to help me to get to know their learning style. Much of my experience...

Hi! I'm Destiny, a U.S. Air Force veteran and math graduate with a passion for helping students feel confident in what they're learning. I specialize in making tough math topics easier to understand and enjoy working with learners of all ages and backgrounds.

...to help you achieve you or your students academic goals. I received my Bachelors degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona. I am also currently pursuing my Masters in Environmental Engineering. I have multiple years of experience tutoring and am presently teaching high school juniors. I am very patient, passionate about my field, and understand every student learns differently. I look forward to helping you master your goals!

...conversational skills. I especially enjoy helping students with the early stages of non-L1 language acquisition (in either English, Spanish, or German). Something about this stage in the process of learning a language is especially stimulating and fun. The learning curve is steep, and I get to find out a students' particular ways of acquiring a language. Outside of class, I like hiking around the Tucson area, hanging out with my friends (and my friends' dogs),...

Eager to teach math classes by making it interesting and relevant.

...perhaps as time goes by Ill be able to do more! I am excited to be working with Varsity Tutors because I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn and I want to help students reach their full potential! I understand frustrations and that some students need some extra one-on-one attention. I have a daughter with Down Syndrome, which has given me a unique perspective on how differently each person learns. It has also...

I love Math and I believe everyone can do it. Maybe not like Einstein, but it is a skill, and with practice everyone can get better. For some kids they need a new way to think about it, some kids just need to survive it ;-)

Life long learning is a hoot! Even with what I have accomplished, I'm not through yet. Curiosity has me constantly looking for things I don't know and mastering them. With 50 years in the classroom - yes this is an old picture - I'm still sticking nose into new things and pushing to learn all I can. If you can express your needs, we will find them together.

...for three years in high-school. My goal in tutoring is to not only teach students the specific content but teach them why that learning matters! I honestly believe learning is a lifelong process and I hope that through working together with all of my students I can inspire the same love of learning which I have always held. High School: - I competed in speech and debate with a speciality in high speaker scores -...

...medical student at the University of Arizona. I have a passion for science, medicine, and helping others. I have spent a considerable amount of time doing medical research. I would love to work with college students and assist them with any tough science classes, but I am also very open to working with younger students who might be struggling or looking for extra enrichment. When I am not studying or tutoring, I enjoy volunteering.

...their level and interests. I also won the 2016 Sustainability in Education Award for a unit I created that involved the local Community Supported Agriculture and setting up our schools' first greenhouse. I recently moved to Tucson and have been teaching reading to Title I students and teaching ESL online to Chinese and Korean adults and children. I also received my K-12 endorsement and have been creating and implementing art curriculum to 6th, 7th and...

...to watch students move from planning a writing assignment to publishing it in a final draft! It is fun to ask students questions about their writing, help them edit their work, and offer words of encouragement. I learned fun and dynamic grammar and writing strategies when I taught English Language Learners in Beijing, China for 13 months two years ago. In my free time I love to read, watch old TV shows, spending time with...

Hello! My name is Petra, I am 22 years old. My first language is Spanish I have been a tutor for several years. I have helped students from Elementary, Middle School, High School and College Level. I enjoy helping students learn.

...curriculum. In college, I majored in ESL, and Spanish was my minor. Since then, I have taught these languages to students of all ages and professions. Learning a language is very much like building a house: it must start from the foundation! That is, the basics. From there, students keep on adding 'bricks' in a consistent way, until reaching the 'roof', their goal. Even though quite a few students believe they know at least 'some'...
