Knowledge is all we can have to help us through our life. Unfortunately, some people think about education as a source of money. But I see it as a door to all our dreams. This is why I want to be a tutor I want to help people gain and love knowledge.

Elementary School English Tutor • +10 Subjects
I have been teaching students from the ages of 3-65 for the last 20+ years. I graduated from Desert Baptist Bible College in Arizona. My favorite subject is English - for all ages. I LOVE grammar and writing. I have been told I have a knack for helping students understand grammar and writing and for making it fun to learn and use. One of my passions is developing a hunger in a non-reader to learn about a topic, thus, leading the student to grow a desire to read more. I also enjoy elementary science and history.

I started teaching students as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina Asheville where as a junior and senior I tutored freshman and sophomores in general and organic chemistry. Seeing the lights of understanding in my students eyes was what hooked me.Teaching community college helped refine my teaching style and showcase the importance of keeping students focused on their goals while keeping classes interesting.After earning a bachelors degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Asheville I received my masters in biochemistry and molecular biology from Wake Forest University.When I tutor I try to bring in real life examples based on what I know interests my student and keep students motivated by keeping them focused on their goals.Helping students surpass me is the most rewarding experience.
Nisarg
ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects
I'm a freshman here at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I graduated from Wayzata High, and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that teaching is a responsibility and a privilege; I'll put 110% into teaching if you put the same effort into learning. With hard work and patience, anything is possible!

Anatomy Tutor • +33 Subjects
Throughout my educational experiences I have come to appreciate how variable learning can be. There are good days, hard days, fun subjects and tough ones too. Regardless of the circumstance there is something to be gleaned and applied that can benefit us in the long term. As an undergraduate at Brigham Young University and a medical student at Penn State University I feel I have gained a great deal of experience with different learning environments and circumstances. Along the way I have developed a sincere interest in learning and helping others do the same! I'm excited to be a part of Varsity tutors and hope to be a great listener and resource for you as you grow throughout your own educational journey.I am originally from Salt Lake City, Utah but have spent about 6 years out East. My time away from my medical training is spent mostly with my wife and two little boys. We enjoy the outdoors and being rowdy! I enjoy collegiate and professional sports, running and reading about most anything.
Anette
College English Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am a graduate of The University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literary & Media Studies with a focus on writing and reading. I was born in Sweden but grew up in England as a British Citizen and moved to Las Vegas in 2010 as a military wife. I was a journalist and writer for 12 years. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, tutoring children in Romania, at the English for Asia Centre in Macau, China, and adults in Japan looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor). While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Reading, Writing, Phonics in Early Learning and Early Learning Science. 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 reading that which enriches my life, spending time with my 6 year old and writing articles for international websites.
Santiago
ACT Writing Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a rising senior at Duke University majoring in Psychology and minoring in English. I first started tutoring when I was 10; I'd explain new words in books to my little sister and help her with cursive, work on times tables with my older brother, and teach the little bit of English I knew to my immigrant parents. I tutored students in my middle school through a counseling program, helped deaf and disabled students develop social and creative skills, and freelance tutored throughout high school, and have tutored Spanish-speaking immigrant families (ages 6-12) in Durham, NC since October 2018. Other teaching experiences include training my dog to go down a slide on command and teaching my 10th-grade precalculus teacher how to hand whistle. Though I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Writing. I believe reading and writing are not only complex forms of thinking, but avenues for understanding someone else's unique perspective and ways of being in life. I have the most fun helping my students dissect arguments and meaning from texts, especially when it's in Spanish, my native language. When I'm not tutoring, I most likely am listening to music, playing board games with my family, or looking at cat videos online.

Adobe Illustrator Tutor • +15 Subjects
My educational journey began at Kent's Hill, a boarding school in Maine. I went on to pursue a degree at The University of Maine at Augusta, where I received my BA in a liberal arts degree. I later continued my educational journey by pursuing my Masters in Visual Arts from Jacksonville University. At Jacksonville University I had the opportunity to teach a figure drawing class. I have seven years of experience teaching grades 6th to 12th grade. Most recently my experience is working for the Maine public school system, as an art teacher with grades K-12. I teach studio art courses to Middle school students, while I teach High school students advance drawing, painting, sculpture, and foundational art classes. With every art student that I have mentored, I have encouraged them to explore their potential to advance skills in new mediums and push conceptual thinking.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Mechanical Comprehension and Electronics Information sections trip up many students because they require specialized knowledge that isn't covered in typical high school curricula. Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension also challenge students who haven't built strong vocabulary or reading speed. Math sections—Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge—are difficult for students who struggle with word problems or haven't reviewed algebra fundamentals in years. A tutor can diagnose which specific sections are holding back your score and focus instruction where it matters most.
Pacing is critical because the ASVAB is timed, and running out of time on easier questions you could answer costs you points. Many students spend too long on difficult items early in a section instead of moving through manageable questions first. A tutor can teach you how to quickly identify question difficulty, skip strategically, and allocate your time across sections based on your strengths. Practice tests under timed conditions are essential—they help you build rhythm and identify where you're losing seconds.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort, but students typically see 20-50 point increases (on the 1-99 scale) after focused tutoring and practice. If you're starting below 50, gains often come quickly because foundational gaps in math or reading are easier to close. Students already scoring 70+ may see smaller percentage gains but still meaningful improvements in specific sections. The key is consistent practice between sessions and targeted work on your weakest areas—tutoring provides the strategy and accountability to make study time count.
Yes, absolutely. These sections test specific concepts—circuits, pulleys, gears, pressure—that can be learned and practiced. Many students haven't seen this material since middle school science, so a tutor can break down the core principles in a way that sticks. The trick is understanding the underlying logic rather than memorizing facts; for example, learning how simple machines work helps you solve multiple question types. With targeted instruction and visual practice problems, students typically see solid gains in these sections within 4-6 weeks.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format or fear of time pressure. Repeated practice tests under realistic conditions—same timing, same question types—desensitize you to the experience and build confidence. A tutor can also teach you specific strategies like deep breathing before difficult sections, how to reset mentally after a tough question, and how to reframe mistakes as learning opportunities during practice. Knowing you've practiced similar problems dozens of times reduces the panic response when test day arrives.
Word Knowledge questions test vocabulary in context, so memorizing a random word list is less effective than learning word roots, prefixes, and suffixes that help you decode unfamiliar words. A tutor can teach you to recognize patterns—for example, words starting with 'un-' or 'mis-' typically have negative meanings. You'll also practice using context clues from the sentence to narrow down answers. Spaced repetition of challenging words over weeks, combined with these decoding strategies, builds both vocabulary and test-taking confidence faster than cramming.
Word problems are tricky because they require you to identify what information matters, set up the equation correctly, and solve it—three separate skills. A tutor breaks this down: first, you learn to underline key numbers and identify what you're solving for; second, you practice translating common phrases ('per' means divide, 'total' means add) into operations; third, you work backwards from answers to check your setup. Many students improve dramatically once they see that word problems follow predictable patterns, and tutoring helps you recognize and solve those patterns quickly.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of consistent prep, spending 5-10 hours per week on practice and instruction. A typical week might include one tutoring session (1-2 hours), two practice test sections (2-3 hours), and targeted review of weak areas (2-3 hours). Front-load diagnostic work to identify your gaps, then spend the bulk of your time on those sections rather than reviewing material you already know. A tutor helps you create a personalized schedule and adjust it based on progress—this focused approach is far more effective than random studying for months.
