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...

Haripriya
10th Grade Tutor • +56 Subjects
I am currently enrolled in the University of Houston for Mathematical Biology. I am following the pre-med track. I aspire to be a doctor one day, so I can further help people. I have had ample experience in tutoring people. I used to help my classmates before and after school in High School, and I volunteer to help tutor some people in my University. I am very passionate about my studies, and I know sometimes everybody needs a little help here and there. I am able to teach things in a new perspective and in a manner that would be most useful to my student. My strong suits are in the areas of Math, English, and Test Prep. By combining what I have been taught and what I have learnt, I will be able to help the students understand the materials one way or another. My tutoring policy is to never just give the answer to anyone. They have to understand how to get there and how to apply that idea to another problem. I believe in positive reinforcement and will never discourage the student, but I do believe in making sure they learn things correctly.
Emily
ACT English Tutor • +24 Subjects
Hi, my name is Emily! I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have!
Donald
10th Grade Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Delaware in 1980 with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I achieved Cum Laude distinction at the time of my graduation, and I was also admitted into Eta Kappa Nu, the electrical engineering honors society. In that organization, I was elected Chapter President during my senior year. Since graduation, I have worked in a wide variety of technology-based corporations, including Raytheon Company, EMS Wireless, and Envista Forensics LLC. My engineering experience was heavily based in mathematics and physics which I used to solve a broad range of engineering challenges. Now, as a retired engineer, I have taken up tutoring students. I specialize in mathematics - Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I am passionate about teaching and learning! I learned from many years of technical experience the value of thoroughly learning the fundamentals of science and mathematics. I really enjoy having students get engaged with the coursework and see them excel beyond their expectations. In my personal time, I enjoy music and amateur radio.

Erica
10th Grade Math Tutor • +31 Subjects
As a graduating senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Business School in May of 2016, majoring in Accounting, I am eager to further expand my career and experiences. I believe that my dedication and strong work ethic, combined with my analytical and organizational skills would make me a perfect fit as a tutor.The courses I have taken, as well as the many organizations and previous work experience I have attained has provided me with customer interaction experience, proved my reliability, and enhanced my leadership and mathematical skills. Math has always been my strongest subject, as shown through my math testing scores, and advanced placement upon entering college. Similarly, my enriched abilities in organization and communication would prove extremely useful for this position.As I worked my way up from a retail employee to the manager and webstore manager of a retail store, I gained leadership skills, technological skills, as well as business decision making and managing financial data. I carried over these skills into many of the organizations in which I took part, such as the community service committee of Beta Alpha Psi and the Institute of Management Accountants. As an accounting volunteer tutor with Beta Alpha Psi, I gained valuable experience that I can apply to my future tutoring sessions. Through these positions, I have been able to further my technological, leadership, and organizational skills, while also strengthening my management and communication talents.Another important strength I have is in my computer skills, especially with Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, and Excel. While working as manager and webstore manager, I expanded my computer knowledge, and further enhanced these skills through classes and organizations over the last few years.Over the course of 4 years in high school, I also volunteered once a week as an after-school tutor and homework helper for elementary school students. It was an extremely gratifying experience, being able to teach these students??? important concepts and methods that I understood.
Joey
Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I recently graduated from the University of Florida cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. In fall, I will be beginning medical school at The University of Florida College of Medicine. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine. Throughout high school, I tutored fellow students struggling in core subject areas such as AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, and AP Economics. Then in college, I worked for a tutoring company for three years continuing this passion through tutoring calculus and statistics.It has always been my goal to cater to the unique learning style of those that I tutor so that they may not only earn a good grade in their course, but also so that they may actually master and enjoy the subject matter as much as possible. With my 8 years of experience, not only do I know the subjects that I tutor in well, but I have also identified and learned different ways to explain difficult concepts in everyday language to my students.
Jacob
ACT Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects
I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in creative writing. I'm currently a filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. Since graduating I've worked extensively with an organization called the Creative Mind Group, a non-profit that pairs college-aged students with prestigious internships at film festivals around the globe. I've worked with students internationally in Berlin, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.I've had a rich and interesting tutoring experience, having taught jazz piano, chess, video editing, and even taught basic English skills to Japanese speakers over Skype. For the past year I've volunteered with NY Cares, an organization that brings high-quality after-school programs to low income communities.I've always excelled both academically and in standardized tests. I know that intelligent and targeted private instruction has helped me all throughout my academic career. I'd love to fulfill that role for a student who's looking for that bit of extra help. I am most passionate about teaching reading and writing skills.I believe that learning should be fun but not without rigor. If I can figure out a hook to engage a student in the material, then I think I've done a good job.

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.
