I'm a student at Clark University and I can help you with whatever you need. Whatever your learning style, whatever your difficulties, I will help you through it. Together, we can solve any problem you have. I can teach you how to study, I can edit your papers, I can teach you memory tricks and organizational skills and I guarantee that after a little while with me, your grades WILL improve.

I am a rising senior at Wellesley College majoring in Music and American Studies. During my first year at college, I started tutoring students in grades K-12 at the Mathnasium center in Wellesley, MA. The following two years, I tutored my peers taking courses in American Popular Music, Jazz Music Theory, and Jazz History. Over the past two years, I've developed a passion for helping students pursue writing and research topics that reflect their identities and personal histories. By framing education as a lens through which to perceive themselves, students have been infinitely more engaged. I'm most passionate in tutoring topics related to music history, but interestedly, I've come to deeply appreciate and value writing, research, and analysis skills. Outside of the classroom, I play alto saxophone in a couple of jazz groups, read graphic novels, bake, knit/crochet, and am learning to skate on a longboard!
I am a linguistics graduate student at Boston University. I earned two undergraduate degrees from the University of Connecticut in Cognitive Science and Linguistics, and have enjoyed tutoring all through my educational career. I have been tutoring since high school in a variety of different subjects and every experience has been unique and fulfilling. From middle and high school students to college students, I love the challenge of finding the best way to make a concept make sense to a student and learning about all of the new and different ways that a problem can be looked at and understood. I am an upbeat and enthusiastic individual and I work hard to keep my lessons both informative and fun. Outside of academics, I am a fan of classical music, Harry Potter, and my little dachshund, Hazel!
I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Biology, and a Pre-Medical concentration. Given this, my academic knowledge is obviously eclectic. In the past few years following my education, I have discovered a passion for teaching and currently work as an Instructor for Seven Hills Foundation. I have a straight-forward teaching philosophy which applies to each student as an individual learner. This helps to identify and clarify misunderstandings in the process rather than stumbling over information. I am able to teach in English and Writing, as well as across most maths and sciences, including Organic/Inorganic Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, and Calculus. I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and try to practice that philosophy daily. My other passion is music, as I play guitar and piano. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with friends and simple moments of relaxation.
I'm not tutoring, I spend my time writing and performing spoken word poetry, riding my bike around Boston, and learning to cook.
I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.
I am a 2019 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where I received a dual degree BFA in Vocal Performance and BA in Creative Writing. I also achieved a GPA of 3.92, 3 semesters on the Dean's List, induction into Phi Beta Kappa as well as Sigma Tau Delta (the English honors society) and Pi Kappa Lambda (the Music honors society), Carnegie Mellon University Honors, and Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences Honors. I graduated Bloomfield Hills High School with a 3.96 GPA in 2015, and was a National Merit Finalist as well as a Presidential Scholarship candidate, thanks to my top test scores.
I am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school as well. I have been fortunate to have already been accepted into a couple of schools. I would love to help you prepare for the MCATs and get a head start on your medical school application. I think this one-on-one tutoring model can be a powerful study method in preparing you for success in both the classroom and on standardized tests. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, running, playing board games, and performing/learning magic tricks!
I am a private tutor with over ten years of experience on the SATs, College Essays & Applications, English, History, Math, TOEFL, and the like. I have taught for over seven years, including at such prestigious institutions as Choate Rosemary Hall, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Fordham University with a triple major in English, Philosophy, and American studies. I have two masters' degrees, and am a certified teacher in the State of Massachusetts.
I am available for support, remind the student of her resources, and reconnect the student with long-term goals.
I'm Cindy! I'm a freshman at Harvard University and graduated from San Mateo High School this past year. I love to teach and have years tutoring students of all ages in a variety of subjects. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule a tutoring session!
I am a certified elementary and ESL teacher committed to my students and their learning. I am passionate about teaching and love finding new ways to help my students.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test) is a standardized test used by independent and selective schools to evaluate student readiness for admission. Students in Worcester and across the country typically take the SSAT in grades 5-11 when applying to private or competitive schools. The test measures verbal reasoning, math, and reading comprehension skills through multiple-choice and essay sections.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, study intensity, and time available before test day. Most students see meaningful gains—typically 100-200 points—when they work with a tutor to identify weak areas, master test-specific strategies, and practice consistently. The key is focusing on your individual challenge areas, whether that's pacing through the math section or strengthening reading comprehension skills.
Your first session typically focuses on understanding your starting point and goals. A tutor will review your practice test results (or administer a diagnostic test), discuss which sections feel most challenging, and learn about your target schools and timeline. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that addresses your specific needs, whether that's test-taking strategies, time management, or content gaps.
Pacing is one of the most common challenges students face on the SSAT. A tutor can help you understand how much time to spend on each question type, teach you when to skip and return to difficult problems, and build speed through repeated practice with timed sections. The goal is balancing accuracy with efficiency—rushing through problems leads to careless mistakes, while spending too long on one question leaves no time for others.
Not necessarily. While it's important to be solid across all sections, personalized tutoring lets you prioritize based on your strengths and weaknesses. If math is your strongest area, you might spend less time there and focus more on reading comprehension or verbal reasoning. Your tutor will help you allocate study time strategically to maximize your overall score improvement.
Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full-length practice tests spaced throughout their study period, with at least one or two in the final weeks before the actual test. This builds test-day stamina and helps you apply strategies under realistic time pressure. Between full tests, focused practice on specific question types is equally important for building confidence and identifying patterns in your mistakes.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format or uncertainty about your abilities. Working with a tutor builds confidence through repeated exposure to question types and proven success with practice problems. Tutors also teach concrete strategies like deep breathing, positive self-talk, and breaking the test into manageable chunks rather than viewing it as one overwhelming marathon.
Look for a tutor with proven experience in test prep who understands the specific format and content of the SSAT. They should be able to diagnose your individual challenge areas, teach both content and test-taking strategies, and adapt their approach based on what's working for you. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in SSAT prep and have a track record of helping students achieve their target scores.
