Wallace
BA Williams College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Since graduation, I have worked a wide variety of jobs: organic farm manager, solar panel installer, sous chef at a renowned restaurant, founder of a music cooperative in downtown Phoenix and, most recently, multi-instrumentalist in a band that tours all over the world. Obviously, my interests are broad. I view every personal endeavor as a fundamentally educational experience. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, history, philosophy, and Spanish (which I learned to speak while studying philosophy in Argentina). I really enjoy working with students to sharpen written assignments. Even the best writers require editing! I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy making music, travel, and reading.

AS Arizona State University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a Pre-med student at Arizona State University. I have been tutoring at the university for the last year, and it has been a blast! I tutor, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics I, and some genetics. Organic chemistry is definitely my favorite subject to tutor. It was a challenging subject when I took it, but I really put my mind to it, worked my tail off and I received high marks in my courses. That's why I love it so much. I enjoy showing students that they can overcome difficult courses and challenges just like how I did, and it feels very rewarding to me.

Elise
BA Marquette University • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine Creighton University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the Creighton University School of Medicine where I received my M.D. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Philosophy at Marquette University in 2018. During my time at Marquette, I tutored General Biology and General Chemistry, and I was a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry lab. Not only did I enjoy teaching students my age, but I also pursued teaching opportunities for younger students in high school and middle school. I was a gross anatomy instructor for high school students taking tours through the cadaver labs and I was one of the founders of the Marquette Brain Brigade, where a group of undergraduate students came up with demos/lessons in neuroscience to teach middle school students. Moreover, I sought out private tutoring opportunities at a company called Huntington Learning Center both during undergrad and during medical school where I tutored a wide variety of subjects, including ACT/SAT, for virtually all age groups. I am very comfortable teaching various subjects and ages, and I am a laid back and flexible person. The subjects I am most comfortable teaching would be the sciences anywhere from the basic level to graduate school level. I am so grateful for the educators that allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor, and I would love to pass it on and help younger students achieve their goals.

I am a fan of the "Pomodoro Technique," which uses a timer to split each half hour of the session into a 25 minute work period followed by a 5 minute break. The promise of a short respite helps students power through distractions, and the break helps ward off frustration.

I am currently pursuing my M.A. in Mathematics Education through Northern Arizona University. Of course I love to teach math, especially to those students that have a history of hating it, but English is also a great passion and strength of mine. Outside of teaching, I am the sponsor of my school's Korean Club, I coach the varsity pom team, I choreograph the school musicals, and I am a member of a small dance company, so I have a high respect for the arts as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With 195 school districts across the Phoenix area serving over 278,000 students, Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them—whether they attend public, charter, or private schools. Tutors are familiar with the different curriculum approaches and standards across Phoenix's diverse districts, so they can provide personalized instruction that aligns with your student's specific school.

Tutors work with students on Arizona's grade-level standards and benchmarks, whether that's mastering foundational skills or preparing for state assessments. They understand the specific learning expectations in Arizona and can target instruction to help students build confidence in areas where they're struggling, from elementary math fundamentals through high school coursework.

Phoenix students commonly seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, and test preparation for standardized assessments. Many students also benefit from tutoring in science, history, and foreign languages. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all subjects, so whether your student needs support in core academics or specialized areas, there's personalized help available.

The first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current level, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student stands, identify any knowledge gaps, and work together to create a personalized plan. This foundation helps tutors deliver targeted instruction that moves your student forward from day one.

Phoenix schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1, which means teachers are managing many students with varying needs. One-on-one tutoring provides undivided attention tailored to your student's pace and learning style—something that's difficult in a classroom setting. Research shows personalized instruction significantly improves learning outcomes, especially for students who need extra support or want to accelerate.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring solutions that fit different budgets, whether you need weekly sessions or intensive support before a big exam. You can discuss your needs and get matched with tutors at price points that work for your family.

Tutors are experienced educators and subject experts who understand how to teach effectively one-on-one. Many have teaching credentials, advanced degrees, or specialized expertise in their subject areas. Varsity Tutors carefully vets tutors to ensure they're equipped to help students succeed, and you can learn about any tutor's background before connecting.

Many students show improvement in confidence and understanding within the first few sessions, though the timeline depends on the student's starting point and goals. Some see grade improvements within a few weeks, while others benefit from longer-term support to build strong foundational skills. Tutors work with you to track progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep your student moving forward.
