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 ju...

Devin

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +11 Subjects

Learning a new language is like solving a jigsaw puzzle. At first, you only have a few pieces, a few words. But as you start to learning, you gather more information and you start to get a better idea of what is happening in front of you. And soon, you'll feel accomplished as you are traveling the world, understanding the proud beauty in different cultures and philosophies. You'll be able to understand and communicate your ideas freely and it all starts here. Trust me. I have one it! And you can too!When I was in high school, I didn't have a passion for learning. I slacked off in class and casually cruised to graduation. I figured that I wouldn't go to college because I wasn't smart enough. All I wanted to do was travel the world. The summer following graduation, I worked construction framing houses and got enough money to buy a ticket to Australia. And in a few months, I was off to see the world.When I arrived at the hostel in Melbourne, I quickly realized that I was under-prepared for the real world. I was only 18 and staying with older travelers who all had bright-intelligent ideas. Many of them could speak more than one language and, suddenly, I found myself overwhelmed. The first night in that hostel, I made a decision that I would never take education for granted again and that I would learn another language.Shortly after coming home from Australia, I was asked to manage a coffee shop in Playa del Coco, Costa Rica. I jumped at the opportunity. I flew to Costa Rica and eagerly dedicated myself to my goal. I would wake up every morning, ride a bike with no brakes to the coffee shop (hoping I didn't have to abruptly stop along the way), opened my books and started reading. I started by reading children's bible books written in Spanish. It gave me a basic understanding of the grammatical structure and vocabulary. After 4 months, I was proficient but decided I needed something more. So, I decided to study at Kent State University. At Kent, I participated in a foreign exchange program, worked at a Mexican restaurant, participated in Spanish Club, and represented in Modern and Classical Languages in student council. All of which, helped to further advance my ability to speak Spanish.After graduation, I took a job working as an Application Engineer for Latin America (which was a fancy term for technical support). Later, I went on to work as a Sales Engineer for Latin America, serving 41 accounts throughout Latin America. Since, I have been traveling frequently to Mexico and working as an bi-lingual actor in Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Kentucky and Indiana.Long story short, I love speaking Spanish. I think it's a great way to communicate with the world and a great reason to travel! I am excited to share my experience and help you achieve your goal of becoming fluent!

Delia

ACT English Tutor • +26 Subjects

Hi! My name is Delia and I'm currently working as a elementary Math Fellow for Denver Public Schools. I graduated with a BFA in Photography/ minor in Communication from CU Denver in May of 2016. Throughout college I tutored high school students through the TRiO High School Upward Bound program. My favorite part about working with students of all ages is watching the lightbulb go off when they understand a concept or process. I also enjoy getting to know students and working to find a way to help them learn best. In my free time, I like to create art, go for hikes and explore Denver.

Damara

Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a graduate of The University of Southern California where I received my Bachelor of Arts inPrint Journalism. I have worked with students from a variety of backgrounds and skill levels. I've tutored elementary school age children in their homes, helping them sharpen and retain the fundamental skills they have learned in class. I've tutored high school students struggling with math and English. Most notably, I've spent years working in class and on campus with community college students struggling with the college writing process. I can tutor a variety of subjects, but I am most drawn to English Composition and Literature. They are my passions, and, as a result, they are my favorite subjects to tutor. Being able to understand written word and being able to express yourself through written word are skills so essential to life that I really consider it a privilege to be able to help someone improve in those areas. My approach to tutoring is to help students see that concepts that might seem confusing or even at daunting at first, can really be broken down into smaller, easy-to-understand elements. And it's not a matter of being "smart" or not; it's a matter of being willing to dedicate the time and effort to truly understand something. Outside of work, one of my main interests is travelling. I've been to many different states and many different countries like Spain, Scotland, Nigeria and Belize, to name a few. I hope to continue adding more stamps to my passport. I also love seeing live music at local L.A. venues (my genre preferences vary from alternative or indie rock to hip-hop and neo-soul). I'm also a huge fan of detective novels of almost any sort, British television dramas and any movie based on a comic book.

Max

ACT Prep Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a currently a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I am majoring in Physics with a Concentration in Chemical Principles. I am also minoring in Creative Writing. Throughout my schooling, I have thrived in all subjects. However, my favorites are Science and Writing/English. I find that the two have similar way in promoting creativity. Not surprisingly, I will be tutoring Physics, Chemistry and Writing. Additionally, I will be tutoring for ACT prep. I took the test officially three times and was successful each time and believe that I can share effective tips on how to increase scores in each subject. In my free time, I like to play sports like football and basketball. I also like to read novels and poems. My favorites are by Kurt Vonnegut and Jack Kerouac. I am a strong believer in education being the seeds of opportunity and hope to share my passion of learning with my students.

Andrea

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +53 Subjects

I graduated in May 2016 with a BA in Romance Studies (Italian, Spanish, French) and a minor in linguistics from Ohio State. I have worked as a private Spanish tutor for a family with two 11-year-old boys, so I know how to handle a student working from their own home. Although that has been my only other formal tutoring job, I have always been the go-to language guru for my friends and family, and therefore have a lot of practice explaining linguistic concepts in many different ways. I am able to tutor in English grammar, Spanish, French, Italian, basic German, and basic Latin. I love teaching them all; languages are my passion, and since I love to communicate by nature, I can't wait to share my passion with my new students! I hope that, as a student myself, I'm a little more approachable than a teacher, but I'm still not here to give away answers. I hope to have my students lead the sessions (in terms of what we cover that day) since they know best what they want to get out of their tutoring, and in return I will work with them on that topic and try to make it relatable and fun.When I'm not studying grammar, I like to play the violin and guitar, watch Disney movies, bingewatch my favorite TV shows (Doctor Who, Star Trek, Once Upon a Time, The Librarians), read (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson), and write. I also have the travel bug; I have visited 7 European countries and also studied abroad in Rome in 2014. After school, I really hope to intern at Walt Disney World and eventually work there.

Rhea

Computer Programming Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am currently a computer science major at the University of Michigan. I will be finishing my degree in the fall and potentially pursuing a masters in computer science next winter. I have taken part in multiple engineering and consulting project teams as well as worked as an intern at Amazon. I am incredibly passionate about computer science and really enjoy teaching many topics from introductory concepts to data structures and algorithms. Beyond computer science, I have a minor in biochemistry and have taken a variety of chemistry and biology courses. While computer science is my main professional focus, I have found biochemistry to be incredibly interesting and it has become a passion of mine. I loved my chemistry classes and have a lot of fun when teaching organic and physical chemistry! My main tutoring experience is with mathematics teaching most subjects from early math, algebra, and calculus. I really enjoy working with students because I believe it provides them with extra insights into subjects that they will not always find in school. I find that it helps to develop passion for different subjects and helps to guide them into deciding career paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Tucson's 427 schools and all 67 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Tucson Unified School District, Sunnyside, Sahuarita, or any other local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands Arizona's academic standards and local curriculum expectations.

Tucson's average student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1 means individual students often don't get the focused attention they need in the classroom. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by providing dedicated support tailored to your student's specific learning style, pace, and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

Tucson students commonly seek tutoring in math, English, science, and test preparation (SAT, ACT, and AP exams). We also work with students on Arizona-specific requirements like passing the AIMS exam and meeting state standards. Whatever subject your student is struggling with or wants to excel in, Varsity Tutors can connect you with an expert tutor.

Tutors who work with Tucson students are familiar with Arizona's K-12 standards and graduation requirements, including proficiency expectations in English language arts, math, science, and social studies. They can help students close specific skill gaps, prepare for state assessments, and build confidence in areas where they're falling behind—ensuring they're on track to meet Arizona's benchmarks.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where they stand academically, identify specific areas that need support, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps ensure that every future session is targeted and effective.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's grade level. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and many families find that the focused, personalized instruction delivers strong results that justify the investment. Contact us for a consultation to discuss pricing and find a tutoring plan that works for your family.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on their starting point and how frequently they work with their tutor. Building strong academic skills is a process, and the most sustainable results come from regular, focused practice. Your tutor will track progress and adjust strategies to keep your student moving forward.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring their area. Many hold degrees in their subject, have classroom teaching experience, or bring specialized knowledge—like test prep certification or advanced subject mastery. When we match your student with a tutor, we ensure they're well-qualified to help your student succeed.
