Conversational German Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am very passionate about the German language and culture and I am eager to ignite this passion in others. I began studying German at age 12 in middle school and went on to complete a BA degree at the State University of New York at Oswego. I subsequently completed a Masters degree through Middlebury College and was able to study in Berlin, Germany during this time. I believe in taking an academic as well as cultural approach to language learning, so that the language can truly "come alive" in the mind of the student.

I am currently a student at Middle Tennessee State University finishing my last semester on a degree in Industrial Mathematics with a minor in Physics.I've always been interested in math education, be it helping classmates grapple the material, or as a tutor for a nearby community college. I try to explain material in a way that illuminates what's actually happening and connect it with what is already understood. What's better than seeing someone figure out the answer is hearing "Oooh, that makes way more sense. That's why we ____."

ACT Writing Tutor • +41 Subjects

Before working with Varsity Tutors, I spent two years working full time with talented but under-resourced high school students gain access to prestigious colleges and universities. During that time I developed a tutoring style that is rooted in energetic working relationships and a thorough evaluation of student skills. I believe that tutoring is only effective when a student benefits from it long after our sessions are finished. For this reason, I stress that my students focus on and internalize the process and approaches that we review during our time together. My expertise lies primarily in teaching reading and writing. A writing instructor I seek to imbue my pupils with the ability to produce essays that are cogent, well structured, and display a distinct voice. When working with students on reading, my main objective is to make sure that they have a specific way to tackle dense passages with maximum retention. My methodology for test taking centers on context dependent process of elimination and the utilization of comprehension rather than memorization.I graduated from Claremont McKenna College on a full-ride scholarship with a B.A. in Government and Legal Studies and have familiarity with the college admission process that I would be happy to share with clients. Some of the best moments of my teaching career thus far have been celebrating admissions to Stanford, Occidental, MIT, and Dartmouth with former pupils and guiding six juniors in high school to scores of 10 and above on the ACT writing section in 2014-2015. I find times like these to be extremely rewarding and expect to have more of them in the future.In my spare time I like to read (working on David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest" currently), follow the Cubs, Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks, and learn about global politics.

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +33 Subjects

I have a passion for learning and teaching languages and would like to infuse my students with that same enthusiasm. Language learning is not an easy task and with our day to day life, it is even more difficult to do something that is not easy. I hope my students see class time as an enjoyable way to have contact with a foreign language and learn as a byproduct of that fun experience.Now, a little bit more about me. I got my BA in Spanish Language and Literature from the University of Oregon and after having lived in Spain for over 13 years I also got a Masters Degree in Secondary Education, Vocational Training and Language Teaching Specialising in Spanish Language and Literature from the Universidad de Valencia, in Spain. During those 13 years spent in Spain I taught English to students from age 5-55, working in schools, after school programs, company classes, vocational training schools, and individuals who wanted to learn English. As far as extra curricular activities, I do it all. I like being outdoors and travelling, I run, cycle, hike, ski, camp. I like to paint, and read, watch movies. I love to talk to people and socialize as well as learn about different cultures and traditions when I travel. I am a fun, happy, out-going person and I feel I synchronize well with people, which, by the way, makes me a good teacher. :)Concerning my teaching philosophy and my tutoring style, I would say that great educators give students the tools they need in order to empower the student to learn and interact with the world on their own. I try to explain the material at hand, give the student the opportunity to use it, experiment with it, do a few study exercises to build a good foundation, and then let them explore ways to give it meaning, by way of projects, or role plays, games, or real life encounters. A person can learn theory about a language on their own, but the reason why they seek out a tutor or an instructor is for the interaction, that is where I come in, I act as a facilitator and a guide so that the student can engage their own imagination to really learn.

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.
