Emma

AP U.S. Government & Politics Tutor • +13 Subjects

Hello! My name is Emma, and I am an educator in Madison, WI. I have experience teaching elementary and middle school, and I have years of experience working at a college admissions office. As an educator, I can help you become a stronger reader by digging deep into high-interest texts. As a former admissions employee, I know how to make your personal statement stand out from the other applicants. If you need help with learning a new language, I also have 6 years of experience learning French and 4 years of Spanish.When I was a student, school did not come easily to me. My love of learning and asking for help when I needed it most allowed me to succeed through receiving both a bachelors and my masters degree in multicultural education. In addition to teaching the content, I want to pass onto each of my students my passion for learning new things and a growth mindset. It's not "I can't do this", it's "I can't do this YET".

Zeinab

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +13 Subjects

My name is Zeinab, but I often go by Rose. I'm currently a travelling wildlife biologist and I am extremely passionate about my work, but have always had a side passion for teaching. As a lover of both academics and field work I take every opportunity I can to teach when not working my main profession, and I found that substitute teaching and tutoring fills the void while allowing me to continue my research during the busy seasons.I like to think I have a well-rounded education, especially in mathematics, language, and biology, and a reasonable teaching background. Not only have I been a tutor my whole adult life but I have worked with both children and adults in an academic setting for many years.Along with general teaching experience, I do possess about 4 years worth of experience as a substitute teacher in many districts in Michigan, and about 2 years as a professional tutor. I was quite well liked by both the staff and students, and truly enjoyed my time there.With my transcripts and resume I hope you find me a suitable candidate to teach with you!

Leah

Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects

Math is an exciting and rewarding discipline. After getting my bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Alabama in 2009, I taught and tutored arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, calculus, and trigonometry through various venues including Manor College (2012-2013), Blueprint Schools Network (2015-2016), and Kumon Math and Reading Center (2017-present) as well as a few private middle schools. Mathematical proficiency is composed of two parts--procedural skill and logical reasoning.They are both important, since being quick and accurate with arithmetic can help one significantly with understanding the logical component of higher math. The best learning often comes with attempting a tough problem and discovering several approaches to solving it. Students that work through a problem until they "get stuck" are already learning a lot more than if they had never attempted it. I believe that tutors are the most helpful when the student has already struggled with a concept, because the tutor can hone in on the specifics. Math is a skill that gets better with practice, like sports or music. I keep my arithmetic skills sharp through tutoring at Kumon, and my higher math skills through self-study with my college textbooks and tutoring higher math students. I plan on getting a Master's in math in the near future. When I am not teaching, I am engaged in the domestic arts while singing or watching my nieces and nephew grow up.

Jordan

College English Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a highly motivated and passionate teacher/tutor with absolute devotion to aiding students in their inspiring story. I was born and raised in Utah and have developed a deep background in the principles of creative writing, college-level writing, reading, and literature. I earned a BA in English with a Creative Writing Emphasis at Weber State University and have had some of my fictional work offered to be published in undergrad literary journals. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree at Western Governor's University in Secondary English Education and have just finished all my coursework. This, along with over three years of experience working with students from diverse backgrounds, is the foundation of my commitment to helping out all my students. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, creative writing and academic writing; and most importantly, inspiring students to develop a love for learning and always giving their best effort.

I have been in the education field for over 15 years. I love assisting others of all ages in exploring and expanding their learning capacity, which in turn, enriches the quality of their lives. My biggest joy as a teacher is seeing someone come to a full understanding of a concept they could not grasp before. Helping the learner reach those "a-ha" moments is what a teacher does!

Karina

7th Grade Reading Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a former high school teacher in the state of Illinois. Having taught both French and Spanish for the past thirty-two years, I have had the pleasure of sharing my passion for languages with all age groups from junior high to university students. During this time, I have tutored students in French from all ages. I have also had experience tutoring a broad range of subjects outside of foreign language study. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois in French with a certificate in teaching. This was accompanied by a minor in Spanish language. I have a Master's degree in Media Communications from Governor's State University and continuing education studies in Education, Psychology, Sociology, and Social Studies. My experience with youth is not limited to the classroom. I am heavily involved with the Lions Club at the local, district, and state levels. My involvement includes many service projects but my main focus is with youth: the Leo Club (a younger version of the Lions) and Lions Quest ( an instructional program for social interaction). I enjoy teaching the youth of today, each experience is unique, and I find I learn from them as well.

Kelly

ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +100 Subjects

I love learning, teaching and interacting with people about the subject matter that I am very passionate about. I do not believe that any subject is superior to another, and that together they form the basis of a well-rounded, informed individual. With regard to my particular areas of expertise, History, Social and Political Sciences, I feel that these areas all interact, and react, to each other and form an essential part of our human story; the story of us if you will.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With 18 school districts and 135 schools across Glendale, students come from diverse educational backgrounds and curricula. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand the specific standards, pacing, and expectations of Glendale's various districts—whether you're in Litchfield Elementary, Peoria Unified, or another local district.

Glendale's average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 means classroom teachers often have limited time for individual attention. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by giving your student focused support tailored to their specific learning pace and challenges—something that's difficult to provide in a larger classroom setting.

Tutors work with students on Arizona's state standards for reading, math, science, and other core subjects. Whether your student is preparing for state assessments, working toward grade-level proficiency, or advancing ahead, tutors align their instruction with Arizona's learning expectations to help students succeed.

The first session focuses on understanding your student's specific needs, learning style, and academic goals. The tutor will assess current skill levels, identify areas where your student needs support, and discuss what success looks like—whether that's improving a grade, building confidence, or mastering a particular skill.

Glendale students frequently seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and test preparation for state assessments and standardized tests. Science and foreign language support are also popular as students work toward graduation requirements and college readiness.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling and package options to fit different budgets and needs. Contact us to discuss your student's specific needs and get a personalized quote for tutoring in Glendale.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in your student's subject and grade level, plus familiarity with Glendale's schools and Arizona standards. The matching process considers your student's learning style, schedule, and specific academic goals to find the right fit.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though results depend on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. Regular 1-on-1 instruction helps students build confidence and mastery, which typically translates to better grades and test performance over time.
