I am in the midst of the medical school admissions process, but hopefully, it will conclude soon. I have a comprehensive understanding of subjects ranging from the social sciences to math. As a tutor, I want to instill confidence into my students. I want them to not only material itself, but I also want my students to find the best learning methods to be successful in their academic work and beyond.

8+ Years Tutoring

I am more passionate about the latter, and within the humanities I am most passionate about philosophy and English. The most important thing I've learned from those two fields (and the thing I'd most want to pass on to students) is how to find the right words for thoughts - this is important, not just because it allows people to express themselves well to others, but also because it affords clarity to people regarding their own opinions and ideas. Shortly after I graduated from college I embarked on an extended trip around Europe lasting from October 2017 to May 2018. My interests include traveling, piano, and reading.

Alexis
BA Princeton University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently in the process of applying to Law School. I have tutored middle school and high school students in subjects ranging from 5th grade reading to geometry to the SAT. While I am happy and able to tutor a number of subjects, I am most passionate about Test Prep because these scores are very important to students, and I enjoy helping them to conquer the test and succeed. My teaching philosophy can be described as a coaching style in which, like athletics, I believe learning the subject matter, good techniques, and constant practice are the best ways to achieving better scores.

Michelle
BA Rice University
16+ Years Tutoring

I am a great tutor because I am young and enthusiastic. I can relate to the kids I tutor because I recently experienced the classes and standardized tests that they are taking. I use an informal style so that the student can feel comfortable asking questions. I try to connect personally to the students so that they have fun and look forward to tutoring. I tutor standardized tests and most high school classes. I have two years of experience tutoring and I spent both this summer and last summer teaching full-time.

AB Rice University
11+ Years Tutoring

I am an Arizona native. Upon graduating from Desert Mountain High School, I attended Rice University and I received my Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology with a business focus. At Rice I was a student/athlete representing the Division I Owls in track and field. After several years experience voluntarily tutoring friends and family members I became a professional private tutor my junior year of college. My senior year, I took advantage of the opportunity to reach more students, creating a small private tutoring company in Houston in which I served as lead tutor and conducted all business operations. After graduating from college, I moved back to Arizona and am excited to have the opportunity to continue my passion of helping young men and women achieve academic excellence through tutoring. I have experience tutoring elementary through college-aged students in all academic disciplines. My primary areas of focus include: math, English, and standardized test prep. In my spare time I enjoy exercising, following sports, and spending time with friends and family.

I am always in the search for knowledge; I love learning new things and I love sharing that which I have learned. I believe there is power in the ability to speak a second or even a third language, and in the same way that I would like to learn more languages I believe it is only fair to help others learn them as well.

Linda
MS Harvard University • BA Saint Catherine University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am especially committed to supporting first-generation college students, those for whom English is a second language, and working adults as they navigate the challenges of higher ed. 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. I delight to see students realize their capacities and expand their universe.

PhD Arizona State University • BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Avondale has 6 school districts serving over 27,500 students across 43 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Litchfield Elementary, Avondale Union High School District, or any other district in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic needs.

Avondale's average student-teacher ratio is 20.3:1, which means classroom teachers are managing large groups and may have limited time for individual support. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by giving your student dedicated attention focused entirely on their learning style, pace, and specific challenges—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

The first session is an assessment and connection opportunity. The tutor will learn about your student's current level, academic goals, and what they're working on in their Avondale school classes. This helps the tutor create a personalized plan that aligns with Arizona standards and your student's specific needs, whether that's catching up, staying ahead, or preparing for state assessments.

Tutors work with students on Arizona's specific learning standards and assessment expectations, including preparation for Arizona's Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) and other state benchmarks. Whether your student needs support with core subjects like math and English language arts, or specialized areas like science and social studies, personalized instruction helps them build mastery aligned with what Arizona schools require.

Students in Avondale seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with math and English language arts being the most common. However, we also connect students with tutors for science, social studies, test prep (including SAT and ACT), AP courses, and specialized support like reading intervention or executive function coaching. The subjects depend on each student's grade level and goals.

Pricing varies based on the tutor's expertise, the subject, and your student's needs. We work with families to find options that fit different budgets. Many Avondale families start with a few sessions per week to build momentum, then adjust their schedule based on progress and goals. We're happy to discuss what works best for your situation.

We consider your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and specific challenges to connect them with a tutor who's a good fit. If your student attends one of Avondale's schools and is working on Arizona standards, we'll match them with someone experienced in that curriculum. If the match isn't right after the first session, we can adjust to find a better tutor.

You'll see progress through improved grades, stronger performance on classroom assignments and tests, and increased confidence in the subject. Many tutors also provide progress updates and work samples so you can track improvement over time. If your student is preparing for Arizona assessments or standardized tests, you'll have concrete benchmark data to measure growth as well.
