College Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a graduate of Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Geological Sciences, and also attended Graduate classes while enrolled there. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Sciences from American Sentinel University in Birmingham, Alabama. I have tutored students on many occasions in a variety of subjects. My strengths, however, lie in math and science. I have worked with students of varying ages, from grade school through high school level. My greatest satisfaction is working with a student when they 'get it', understanding a concept that had been confusing or uncertain. While this can be gradual or sudden, you can really see it when it makes sense. I also enjoy helping students prepare for Standardized Tests. My goal is to help them advance, while keeping the material interesting. It is also my hope that I can help students reduce the stress they may feel when preparing to take these tests. I believe that if you continue to learn throughout your life, you will always be growing.

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.

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.

Kristi

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received a dual Bachelor of Arts in Astrophysics and Earth & Planetary Science. After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked full-time as a post-baccalaureate researcher at Columbia University's Astrophysics Laboratory in New York City. Currently, I'm working toward a PhD in Exploration Systems Design at Arizona State University. I first starting tutoring in high school and have continued for nearly a decade since. I have tutored many students across all levels of mathematics from the elementary to the undergraduate level. Additionally, I have tutored several students in astronomy at the undergraduate level. Calculus is my favorite topic to tutor, as I find the concepts to be incredibly fun to both learn and teach. In addition to tutoring, I also worked as a multivariable calculus teaching assistant for the Harvard Mathematics Department. I firmly believe that anyone can learn math. There's no such things as a "math person." It's just a matter of finding the right teacher. Outside of my academic pursuits, I also enjoy flying single-engine airplanes, writing screenplays, playing a relaxing game of golf, and training in martial arts.

Elise

Statistics Graduate Level Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a graduate of the Creighton University School of Medicine where I received my M.D. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Philosophy at Marquette University in 2018. During my time at Marquette, I tutored General Biology and General Chemistry, and I was a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry lab. Not only did I enjoy teaching students my age, but I also pursued teaching opportunities for younger students in high school and middle school. I was a gross anatomy instructor for high school students taking tours through the cadaver labs and I was one of the founders of the Marquette Brain Brigade, where a group of undergraduate students came up with demos/lessons in neuroscience to teach middle school students. Moreover, I sought out private tutoring opportunities at a company called Huntington Learning Center both during undergrad and during medical school where I tutored a wide variety of subjects, including ACT/SAT, for virtually all age groups. I am very comfortable teaching various subjects and ages, and I am a laid back and flexible person. The subjects I am most comfortable teaching would be the sciences anywhere from the basic level to graduate school level. I am so grateful for the educators that allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor, and I would love to pass it on and help younger students achieve their goals.

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.
