Peyton
English Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am a senior at Roanoke College, a small liberals arts college in Virginia, majoring in Political Science with a minor in U.S. History. I have prior experience working as a Writing Center tutor at Roanoke, tutoring students at all stages in the writing process as well as helping students prepare for oral presentations. I have also been an Academic Coach, in which I was paired with students who needed more guidance in adjusting to college coursework and academic expectations. Though I have primarily worked with college students, I love working with students of all ages and abilities. I am passionate about writing, research, and the humanities. I can adjust plans and lessons according to the student's learning style and habits while also emphasizing long-term growth and progress. I also took the GRE at the end of last summer and scored well in the Verbal and Analytical Writing sections. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, watching movies, indoor cycling and traveling.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Georgia with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Spanish. During my junior year, I spent the fall through summer semesters helping instruct general chemistry classes and organic chemistry labs. Overall, I personally enjoy teaching and tutoring others not only because it better helps people understand some of the more difficult concepts of the material but because it also allows me to fully cement my knowledge and help people further.
Sarah
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +16 Subjects
As a former Teach For America corps member and charter school teacher, my vision is to challenge students of all backgrounds to promote achievement. As a Latin teacher and scholar, I have experienced firsthand the benefits of a classical education. With my dedication to student empowerment and rigorous academic background, including graduating Summa Cum Laude from Columbia University and earning a fellowship to pursue my M.A. in Latin from the University of Michigan, I am ready to make a powerful impact on students outside of the classroom.While I specialize in tutoring Latin and Greek and am familiar with a variety of textbooks, I am also skilled at preparing students for the SAT and GRE--particularly the reading and writing portions. Although I clearly have a deep passion for my subject matter, I have an even greater passion for student achievement that drives me to work relentlessly to obtain results. Over the past five years, I have acquired essential skills and experiences while teaching in secondary schools as well as at the college level, so I know how to challenge students effectively while providing the support they need to succeed. When I'm not reading Latin, I enjoy cycling and cooking.I look forward to hearing from you and cannot wait to assist you in obtaining the most from your education!

I'm a first year medical school student the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from Rice University with a degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Sports Medicine. I teach a lot of math, science, and foreign languages (basic Chinese and Spanish). I personally prefer to write many things out, especially when I'm explaining a concept. I will try my best to cater to how your student learns best, and will share any tips and tricks that I've learned over the course of my own education. I love feedback during tutoring sessions, and will help you with whatever you need. In my free time, I conduct research and love to read. I look forward to working with you
Bryson
ACT Prep Tutor • +35 Subjects
My experience with tutoring stems back to my high schools days, where I would work in the language lab to help my peers increase their proficiency with Spanish and French. After graduating from high school with my IB diploma, I attended New York University, where I majored in Politics and Spanish. I then attended Loyola Marymount University where I received my master's degree in Urban Education. I have worked in education for the past 6 years, beginning as a 2012 Teach For America corps member in Los Angeles. I have taught nearly every subject in middle school classrooms, and I have taught both biology and algebra to high schoolers. My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics and Spanish, as I find them to be the most engaging, but I enjoy and can help with nearly all content areas. When I was in school, I was (and still am!) a self-described "nerd" who really enjoyed expanding my knowledge base and taking on academic challenges. I hope to impart the idea that tackling new concepts can be fun and rewarding at the same time. Additionally, as a generally "good test taker," I enjoy helping students hone their test taking skills to achieve optimal results. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy running, listening to music, a game of tennis, or a good TV-binge session.
Terry
Elementary School Science Tutor • +2 Subjects
Some people may consider me a science geek (in a good way). Finding online articles about interesting natural phenomena, new scientific discoveries, and innovative inventions entertains me. During my daily life I often apply science and engineering concepts, such as putting salt in my pasta water or sprinkling it on an icy sidewalk to alter boiling and melting temperatures. I find myself using science and engineering practices to figure out an answer for a question I'm wondering about or to solve a problem I'm experiencing. We feed birds and squirrels on our decks. I think of them through different lenses (cross cutting concepts that apply to all science disciplines). I observe patterns of behavior; consider the inputs, interactions, and outputs of the system, and marvel at the body structures of these creatures that let them function (survive).So as a science geek, I really love science and use it all the time. However, I'm even more excited about encouraging elementary and middle school students to love, learn, and use science to answer their questions and solve their problems. As a tutor I will strive to meet the needs of my customers. Though lecturing is not my preferred instructional method, I can produce an effective informational slide presentation if that works best for my students. I prefer to present an interesting phenomenon to the learner(s) who then identify what they notice and wonder about it. With my guidance the student or class identifies questions or problems for further investigation. This student-centered instructional approach supports engagement. Learner(s) would much rather figure out answers to their own questions than complete a teacher-made assessment. I'm an advocate for student sense-making, the three-dimensional approach to teaching and learning in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) builds to that goal. With appropriate teacher support, learner(s) use Science and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts to construct Disciplinary Core Ideas to figure out an explanation for the Phenomenon.My academic preparation in science education includes:BA in Natural Science from Case Western Reserve UniversityM.Ed. in Science Curriculum and Instruction from the University of HoustonEd.D. in Science Curriculum and Instruction from the University of HoustonDuring my long career as a science educator I've had many roles, including:Science teacher in K-8 classrooms.Peace Corps Volunteer teaching science to future primary school teachers.Planetarium teacher for 4th and 8th graders (up to 300 at a time).Curriculum developer: projects and activities for NSF Grant, Challenger Center, Young AstronautsDistrict Level Science CoordinatorDirector of Saturday Science, a family enrichment program (Grades 3-8)Assistant Professor of Science EducationCoauthor of 3 revisions of Elementary Science Methods Text Book.Science Specialist at LEARN, a Regional Educational Service CenterProvider of Professional Development for K-12 teachers of science (NGSS and Inquiry)

I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh! I originally hail from the DC area. I have been tutoring for about 2 years and have a lot of experience because my family has a huge teaching background. I am majoring in biochemistry and psychology but I love to write and read books! I love to tutor not only because I love to teach but also because I love to meet new people and help people lead happier lives.
Bethany
College English Tutor • +9 Subjects
I have an M.F.A in Creative Writing from Adelphi University and a B.S. in English Education from NYU. While attending school, I worked with graduate and undergraduate students on their college writing assignments. Prior to this, I was a 7th grade English teacher working with younger pupils on grammatical structure.I think it is important for students to have confidence and feel relaxed in their approach to writing. The best way to improve in writing is to consistently practice and understand the importance of the written word.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Pre-Calculus covers functions, exponential and logarithmic expressions, trigonometry, sequences and series, and parametric equations. Students most commonly struggle with trigonometric identities and their applications, understanding the behavior of rational functions, and making connections between algebraic and graphical representations. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify which concepts need reinforcement so you can build a stronger foundation before tackling more complex problems.
Tutors work with you to diagnose weak areas, clarify confusing concepts, and develop problem-solving strategies specific to AP Pre-Calculus question formats. They can help you understand not just the "how" but the "why" behind each concept, which deepens retention and makes it easier to apply knowledge to unfamiliar problems. With targeted practice and feedback on your work, many students see significant score improvements over several months of consistent tutoring.
Effective preparation combines consistent practice with concept review throughout the year rather than cramming before the exam. Start by taking practice problems on individual topics, then progress to full-length practice tests under timed conditions to build pacing and test-taking endurance. A structured study schedule—reviewing weak areas regularly using spaced repetition—helps solidify understanding. Tutors can create a personalized study plan aligned with your timeline and learning pace.
This depends on your starting level and target score, but most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week over several months. If you're working on specific weak areas close to the exam, more frequent sessions can accelerate progress. Varsity Tutors helps you find a schedule that fits your needs—whether that's intensive prep or ongoing support throughout the school year. Your tutor can adjust frequency based on your progress and confidence level.
You're likely ready when you can consistently solve problems across all major topics with minimal errors, understand the reasoning behind each concept (not just memorize procedures), and perform well on full-length practice tests under timed conditions. A good benchmark is scoring in the 3-4 range on practice exams before test day. Your tutor can assess your readiness through diagnostic tests and targeted practice, helping you identify any remaining gaps to address before the exam.
Look for someone with strong subject knowledge who can explain concepts clearly and adapt to your learning style. The best tutors ask thoughtful questions to understand where your confusion stems from, rather than simply reworking problems. They should also be familiar with AP Pre-Calculus exam format and common question types, and able to help you develop test-taking strategies alongside content mastery. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who meet these standards and can work with your schedule.
Yes—test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about content or unfamiliarity with question formats. By building genuine mastery through personalized instruction and regular practice under exam-like conditions, your confidence increases significantly. Tutors can also teach you specific test-taking strategies like time management for different problem types and techniques for approaching unfamiliar questions. This combination of content confidence and strategic preparation addresses both the knowledge and emotional sides of test anxiety.
