Liliana

Calculus Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am an undergraduate studying at Arizona State and have experience working in my school's writing center as a tutor. I find that the best approach to interacting with students is to be friendly, open, and patient. We have all struggled in a subject at some point in our lives, and I hate to see students get flustered or embarrassed when they don't understand a concept. I'm upbeat and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for what I have learned with the people that I meet. When I'm not working or in school, I enjoy reading, listening to music, or eating copious amounts of food. Hobbies: reading, writing, art, books, music, baking

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Tempe's 81 schools and 20 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Tempe Union High School District campus, Kyrene of Tempe schools, or any other local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands the specific curriculum and expectations they're working with.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to accelerate learning—research shows it can increase student achievement by up to two standard deviations compared to traditional classroom instruction. Tutors working with Tempe students focus on Arizona's specific learning standards, helping close gaps in core subjects like math and reading while building the skills students need to succeed on state assessments.

While Tempe's average student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1 is solid, even in well-resourced classrooms, teachers manage diverse learning needs across 25+ students. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing one-on-one attention focused entirely on your student's specific challenges—whether that's foundational math skills, test preparation, or advanced subject mastery that classroom instruction alone can't always address.

Tempe students frequently seek help in math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts, chemistry, and test prep for the SAT and ACT. We also work with students preparing for AP exams across multiple subjects, as well as younger students building foundational reading and math skills. The specific needs vary by grade level and school, which is why personalized instruction makes such a difference.

Your first session is an assessment and relationship-building meeting. The tutor will discuss your student's academic goals, identify specific areas where they're struggling, and understand their learning style. This information helps create a customized tutoring plan that targets exactly what your student needs—whether that's catching up in a subject, preparing for a major test, or getting ahead in an advanced class.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have deep subject knowledge and proven teaching experience. Many have taught in Arizona schools, hold advanced degrees, or specialize in specific subjects like STEM or standardized test prep. Every tutor is vetted to ensure they can deliver effective, personalized instruction aligned with what Tempe students need.

Scheduling is completely flexible and designed around your family's needs. Whether your student needs sessions before school, after sports practice, on weekends, or during the week, we work with your calendar. This flexibility is especially valuable for Tempe families juggling multiple commitments while supporting their student's academic success.

Most students show measurable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, your student's starting point, and tutoring frequency. For standardized test prep (SAT/ACT), many students see score improvements within 8-12 weeks. The key is consistent, focused work between sessions—your tutor will provide homework and practice recommendations to reinforce learning.
