I'm a rising senior at Yale University. My two main passions in life are biology and English--people might see them as completely opposite subjects, but I think they're just two sides of the same coin! As a tutor, I believe that flexibility and personalization are key. Above all, my goal is to help people not just do well in their assignments but also truly understand the material. I look forward to working with you!

Aaron

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm fairly new to formal tutoring but I've been helping my five children with their homework for the last 18 years. I consider math and science my favorite subjects, with physics being one of my most favorite. When I'm coaching a student, I believe in a very tailored approach which encourages and strengthens the knowledge and skills that a student has and then adds the information that is needed to succeed. Rote memorization is not my strong suit, I believe in really understanding the underlying organizing principles. In my other job I design houses, and when I'm not doing that I love to read, and hike and do some woodworking now and then.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Surprise's 44 schools and all 6 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Surprise Unified, Avondale, Litchfield, or other local districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands Arizona's academic standards and can support their specific needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 in Surprise schools, many students benefit from personalized attention that classroom settings can't always provide. One-on-one tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges—whether that's foundational skills, test prep, or advanced concepts.

Tutors working with Surprise students are familiar with Arizona's college and career readiness standards, including benchmarks for math, reading, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to align with what your student's school expects, whether that means preparing for Arizona's state assessments, supporting grade-level curriculum, or building skills for high school success.

Students in Surprise seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly strong demand for math (from elementary through algebra and geometry), English language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, foreign languages, and other advanced subjects as they progress through middle and high school.

The first session is about getting to know your student and understanding their goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, identify specific challenges or gaps, and discuss what success looks like—whether that's improving grades, building confidence, or mastering a particular skill. This foundation helps shape a personalized learning plan for ongoing sessions.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families in Surprise to find flexible arrangements that fit their budget and schedule—whether your student needs weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or periodic support. Contact us to discuss what works best for your situation and get a personalized quote.

We consider your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and specific goals when making a match. Tutors in the Surprise area bring diverse expertise and backgrounds, so we connect you with someone whose qualifications and approach align with what your student needs. If the fit isn't quite right, we can make adjustments to ensure a great learning partnership.

Many students see improvements in confidence and understanding within the first few weeks of regular tutoring, while academic grade improvements often become visible within 4-8 weeks depending on the subject and starting point. Consistent, personalized instruction compounds over time, so the longer a student works with a tutor, the more substantial the gains typically become.
