Shannen
Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a Junior at Villanova University studying math and economics. I am the chairperson for my sorority's philanthropy and I have an outgoing and bubbly personality. I have helped students learn math for as long as I can remember, and I understand where students are coming from when they are struggling. Outside of my interests in school, I love to watch and play all kinds of sports, my personal favorite being lacrosse. I also love to watch college basketball which is a huge bonus of attending Villanova. My goal is to help build the confidence of each student so they can improve their understanding of each problem in front of them. I hope to not only help a student excel in school but also inspire them to realize that if they work hard enough they can succeed at anything.
Thomas
AP Physics 2 Tutor • +39 Subjects
Students are smart in their own way, whether or not they understand a topic at the beginning, middle or end of a lesson varies from student to student. All that matters, is that the student is to comprehend, analyze, and recite back with full confidence what they had learned as if they knew it all along. One of my most favorite quotes comes from Albert Einstein and it reads, "Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid." This one simple quote is exactly how I view teaching, tutoring and coaching young minds to realize their true potential. Each situation is different and not one style will work on every student. It takes a collaborative approach between the teacher and student throughout the learning process. Patience and understanding on the part of the teacher and trust on the part of the student are the fundamentals to fully comprehending any given topic.
Victoria
Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects
Hi! My name is Victoria, and this fall I will be attending the University of Southern California to study biomedical engineering and economics. I tutor because I'm very passionate about helping others to understand their schoolwork or to "crack the SAT." Seeing the light bulb go off when a student finally gets it is an amazing feeling! Because all of this material is fresh in my mind, I'm able to share personal experiences and give first hand advice on all of the subjects that I tutor. I work hard to make sure that my explanations are clear and easy to understand, and I love finding free online resources to help my students!

ACCUPLACER Arithmetic Tutor • +31 Subjects
"I CAN DO ANY AND EVERYTHING THAT I PUT MY MIND TO"This is the motto that I live by and the motto that I would like to embed into my students.I have been teaching at the high school level for 8 years. I have taught Math 1 for all eight years, Math 2 for two of those years, and a semester worth of Math 3. I have my bachelor's degree in education and a Masters in teaching and learning.The biggest difficulty I see students struggle with is the confidence to attack a particular problem. If I can teach different strategies of solving a problem while building their confidence, they will when every time.
David
AIMS Prep Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a Special Education teacher, primarily at the middle school level. My school experience was difficult, as I struggled with ADHD, and ended up leaving high school early by passing a proficiency test. I love working with students who are struggling, because I have an appreciation for how difficult and boring school can be, but I also have come to truly appreciate the value and importance of education. I believe it's up to the teacher to make learning fun and rewarding, and that is what I strive for in all my lessons.In my teaching jobs, I work with students with learning and emotional disabilities. I have also run after school enrichment programs for gifted students that have received commendations from state officials. I specialize in tailoring instruction to the learner's strengths, particularly for more visual learners. My instruction on fractions has been called the clearest the interviewer had seen.I am a generalist up through the high school level in content. In math I can teach up through Geometry effectively, and I have a great method for writing essays up through the college level. I've taught reading from the Kindergarten Phonics up through middle school and high school literature. My greatest asset as a tutor and teacher is my patience with my students.In my free time I love to read, play board and tabletop games and bicycle. I've coached soccer, and enjoy playing soccer and watching the Portland Timbers.

Jim
Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects
My personal mission is to ensure every student that I teach gets one step closer to achieving his/her academic goals.While I specialize in tutoring Economics, Accounting, Business, and Finance, these fields also qualify me for tutoring a broad range of Mathematics courses (Algebra 1, Middle-School Math, etc), given their significant overlap.I know the above subjects can be dry (and may even put some people to sleep!) at times, but I have an intense passion for them, and hope that I can share that passion by teaching you some of their exciting real-world applications (stock markets, global currencies, etc) in addition to your core curriculum. I try to keep things light and make learning as fun as I can! I have experience as a teaching assistant in graduate school/undergrad, as well as years of private tutoring experience across a wide range of topics.My academic background (Master/Bachelor degrees in Economics), professional exam experience (Passed CFA Levels I and II Exams, as well as Series 7, 63 86, and 87 exams), and on-the-job training (Equity Research) have provided my past tutoring clients with a unique perspective of integrating theoretical knowledge into real-world application. With a strong background in finance and economics, I have tutored many students interested in careers in financial services, and believe I can help younger students simply looking to master the fundamentals of intermediate mathematics.I ask for feedback at the end of every tutoring session, encourage questions on my teaching methods and material coverage, and include a free 10 minute discussion with each lesson for practical applications (e.g., stock market implications, tax policies, etc.) if so desired and applicable.Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I am here to provide you with the best possible tutoring service you can get!

Amanda
ACT English Tutor • +87 Subjects
I'm currently a fourth year medical student at a private medical school in Texas. I've been involved with tutoring since middle school continuing all the way through medical school. There are so many different ways to teach based on how students learn best and I am passionate about meeting the individual needs of students so they can succeed. I took unconventional approaches to learning as instilled by mentors throughout my life that greatly increased my ability to learn and comprehend material . I've worked with tutoring students in ACT prep, SAT prep, MCAT prep, IB and AP courses, as well as STEM subjects from elementary school through to college. Recently, I've also tutored for USMLE Step 1 & 2. I also edit and work with students who need tutors for writing and reading comprehension. I have extensive experience in both college and medical school admissions and work yearly with students on essays and applications. I went to high school at the Downingtown STEM Academy and graduated May 2018 from the University of Alabama with a 4.2. I have a BS in Biology with minors in Social Work and Social Welfare. I will be graduating with an MD and MPH in May 2022. I tutor english, math, geometry, algebra, SAT, ACT, MCAT, USMLE chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, and writing along with other subjects. I've worked with rural students in Alabama, students in the Greater Philadelphia area, and students in urban areas. I believe education should be personalized and while schools can't provide this due to lack of resources, tutors are a great substitute for that. Education is the gateway to social mobility and happiness and I seek to prepare my student to meet their individual goals. I work to create an environment where the student can focus on understanding the material for their own understanding and not for others which significantly increases the students confidence in the subject matter and their desire to learn more.
Maria
ACT Math Tutor • +46 Subjects
I am taking an academic break before enter an accelerated PharmD program. I graduated from BHCC in Boston this May. I came to US in 2014 from Ural Mountains in Russia. Being there, I have finished strong lyceum with extra mathematical classes including geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry and calculus. I am a very helpful math tutor at my college, not only because I enjoy solving different kinds of mathematical problems, but because coming from overseas I know many different ways to explain and approach students' problems.Mathematics is a language of science. After I learned this language pretty well, I decided to use it for my future education. My goal for coming years is gaining biotechnology knowledge which includes biology, chemistry and physics. From the college I master new procedures, laboratory techniques daily; I hope to add those subjects to my tutoring in the future. I want to be a part of Varsity Tutors to gain knowledge not only from the college. Working with people from different backgrounds allows to exchange experiences quickly and use new information for own benefits. Back in high-school, my private chemistry teacher decided to open a school for gifted children 4 years ago. She hired me as her assistant to the school, where I created presentations for students to explain organic chemistry concepts. With a bit of motivation I can explain functional groups, isomeric structures again.Before knowing language of mathematics, I was taught Russian. Many people in my life have cultivated big love to Russian language and literature. That is why I wrote and defended regionally my first scientific project about paronomasia as a problem of modern language. Together with the head of the Russian department at my school, I created the first local newspapers among students and teachers in my city. I am still publishing diverse articles there to speak with students about current problems they are afraid to speak about themselves. If some of your students have interest in learning Russian language, I assure to teach them the best Russian preserving its spirituality and beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study effort, but most students see measurable gains within 4-8 weeks of consistent preparation. Students who work with tutors typically improve their weakest sections most significantly—often 3-5 points or more on individual subtests. The key is identifying which sections (Math Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mechanical Aptitude, etc.) are holding you back and targeting those areas with focused practice and strategy refinement.
The ASVAB has 9 subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, Electronics Information, Auto and Shop Information, Mechanical Comprehension, Assembling Objects, and Verbal Expression. Most students find Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge challenging because they require both speed and accuracy under time pressure. Paragraph Comprehension and Mechanical Comprehension also trip up many test-takers. A tutor can help you identify your specific weak areas through practice tests and develop targeted strategies for each section.
Timing is critical on the ASVAB because you have limited minutes per section. The most effective strategy is to practice full-length, timed practice tests repeatedly so you build speed without sacrificing accuracy. Tutors help you learn which question types to tackle first, when to skip difficult questions and return later, and how to avoid getting stuck on any single problem. With consistent timed practice, you'll develop an intuition for pace that lets you answer more questions correctly within the time limit.
Practice tests serve two critical purposes: they reveal which sections and question types give you trouble, and they build familiarity with the test format and time constraints so you're not caught off guard on test day. Taking multiple practice tests under real timing conditions helps you calibrate your pacing strategy and reduces test anxiety. Many students find that their practice test scores improve consistently as they review their mistakes and reinforce weak concepts—this is where a tutor's feedback on why you missed questions becomes invaluable.
Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of preparation, depending on their starting score and target branch/job requirements. If you're scoring well already, 4-6 weeks of focused review may be enough. If you need to improve math or reading skills significantly, 8-12 weeks allows time to build foundational knowledge alongside test-specific strategy. A tutor can assess your baseline with a practice test and create a realistic timeline tailored to your goals and study schedule.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format and uncertainty about whether you're prepared. The best antidote is repeated exposure: taking full-length practice tests until the format feels routine removes a major source of anxiety. Working with a tutor also helps because you get personalized feedback showing exactly what you can do well, which builds confidence. Additionally, tutors can teach you test-day strategies—like deep breathing, positive self-talk, and time management tactics—that give you concrete tools to stay calm under pressure.
For math (Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge), the strategy is to solve problems quickly without a calculator by recognizing common question patterns and using shortcuts. For reading (Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension), you need strong vocabulary and the ability to extract key information fast. A tutor can teach you section-specific techniques: for math, recognizing when to estimate or work backwards; for reading, how to skim strategically and identify what each question is really asking. Practice with instant feedback on why answers are right or wrong accelerates mastery of these strategies.
