I am eager to share this with the students of Varsity Tutors. I with students from K-12 in the US, university students in China, mentally disabled adults in Harlem, and villagers in Mozambique. My favorite subject is biology and I also particularly enjoy writing, but I am happy to work on a variety of subjects with students.

I am an English and essay writing tutor available to help with English and language arts assignments, grammar, essay writing, literary analysis, and ACT and SAT writing and reading. In 2011, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Macalester College in English language and Literature. Before tutoring with Varsity Tutors, I tutored for another private company. I am an excellent tutor because I remember distinctly what it was like to be a student and can both empathize with their frustrations and help them to move past those blocks and toward a greater understanding of the material. I believe in my students and genuinely care about their success, which shows in my work. My patience and willingness to adjust my approach to help different learning styles has also been a useful asset in the past.

I am most comfortable teaching the SAT Reading/Writing and helping youths with their personal statements. Furthermore, my one-year experience as an AmeriCorps VISTA for PeaceJam Foundation – an award-winning organization that promotes service learning and peacekeeping through the combined efforts of Nobel Peace Laureates and young people – has instilled in me a deep reverence and hope for our youths today. I strongly believe in our youths’ limitless potential to pursue their dreams and become agents of positive social change and know I will be an excellent mentor/coach through their journey.

I am a recent graduate from Carnegie Mellon University with a dual degree in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. I have several years of tutoring experience in math, English, and broad sciences for kindergarten to high schoolers. Additionally, I have tutored several students for the SAT and ACT who have had favorable results. I truly enjoy working with school students to help them further their education and have made it a part of my routine since highschool.

Krishna's biochemistry training means he's comfortable on both sides of the PSAT — the quantitative sections where Heart of Algebra and data interpretation dominate, and the reading passages where students need to trace an author's reasoning through dense, science-heavy text. A 1580 SAT puts him near the ceiling of the test the PSAT is modeled on, and his approach leans on showing students how to eliminate wrong answers systematically rather than re-reading passages three times. Rated 4.6 by students.

I am confident I will be able to use my experience and current knowledge to raise your grades and scores.

I'm a motivated and enthusiastic engineer with a drive to always continue learning, share knowledge with others and inspire.

I am currently an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University working towards a degree in Biomedical Engineering. One of the most rewarding aspects tutoring is helping students arrive at that "Eureka" moment when the concept or idea they have been trying to understand suddenly clicks. I hope to be a mentor to students as I draw from my own experiences, having been in the same shoes not long ago. I enjoy tutoring all subjects, particularly math, physics, and biology.

I am current student at The University of Chicago. I have extensive experience working with children in multiple settings. I am passionate about teaching, and hope I will be able to assist you in overcoming any academic struggles.

I am in New York City studying acting, and I want to bring the same energy, enthusiasm and compassion that is required on stage to my students. I have experience tutoring for the SATs, and I have had significant experience serving as a mentor to younger students, particularly in the university setting. I love coaching and helping students discover their intellectual passions. Most importantly, I am thrilled by the prospect of helping a student set concrete goals and progress towards actualizing them in an academic realm. But above all I want to work with students to help them develop strategies that are personally effective and furthermore that link their passions with their education.

Film production taught Isaiah to read critically and write precisely under pressure — skills that pay off on the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections, where identifying how an author structures an argument or spotting a grammar error in context can hinge on a single word choice. His 1590 SAT means he's already dominated the test the PSAT mirrors, and his background in Spanish and American literature gives him unusual range across both the passage-heavy reading questions and the vocabulary-in-context items that trip up strong math students. Rated 4.8 by students.

I am a senior studying Physics and Math at the University of Texas at Dallas. I will receive a Bachelor's of Science in Physics in 2016. For years, helping people learn to approach problems and concepts in Math and Physics has been very satisfying to me. Finding the simplest way to think about an initially daunting idea or task and assisting others in recognizing the necessary reasoning process is a great experience. I tutor primarily Physics and Math, with a preference for Calculus because of the fact that the concepts of Calculus lend themselves so naturally to intuitive physical interpretations and analogies. I am also able to help with SAT preparation. My main hobbies include reading, playing strategy games, and watching basketball.

Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Samuel already dominated the content the PSAT tests — the same algebra, data analysis, and evidence-based reading questions, just with a slightly lower ceiling. As a Caltech applied math student who ran an SAT prep class in high school, he knows how to break down the math sections strategically and build the timing instincts that turn strong practice scores into strong real ones.

I am pursuing a career in dentistry/oral surgery and will be beginning dental school at Boston University this fall. For this reason I recently took the DAT, which I am capable of assisting you with as well. During my undergraduate education, which I completed this past December, I worked in my school's tutoring center, helping my peers succeed in mathematics and science courses. Outside of my academic life, I am a big sports fan and I mostly follow the New York sports teams. For fun, I like to play basketball and golf with my friends. I am looking forward towards getting to know you and helping you with your academic needs.

I'm a Sophomore enrolled in TCNJ's 7 Year Medical Program. I have prior experience in tutoring from helping previous clients within SAT Math. I am also available to tutor in SAT Prep and writing.

I provide focused, targeted lessons and often rely on analogies as well as visual teaching aids within my lessons. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Scoring a 1580 on the SAT means Scott already knows the test family inside and out — and the PSAT is built on the same blueprint, just with a tighter score ceiling. He breaks down the Evidence-Based Reading passages and No Calculator math sections using the specific pacing and elimination strategies that matter most for National Merit qualification. Rated 4.8 by students, he's been doing this kind of targeted prep since his days at Washington University in St. Louis.

I am always excited to help others and would like to teach students to improve with their academic skills, help with home work, instant assistance and ace the college board tests, SAT I and SAT subject and AP Tests. I spent much time examining during my high school and would like to share my knowledge, experience, test tips, strategies and test time management skills.

I am an undergraduate studying Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Marissa's psychology background gives her an unusual advantage on the PSAT — she understands how students fall for trap answers on evidence-based reading questions and can teach them to recognize the cognitive shortcuts that lead to wrong picks. Her 1540 SAT means she's already navigated the full test the PSAT is built from, and her Spanish fluency sharpens the grammar instincts she brings to the Writing and Language section's context-dependent questions.

Jared's engineering background — a biomedical BS plus a mechanical engineering PhD — means the PSAT's quantitative sections play to his strongest instincts, particularly the no-calculator problems that demand algebraic fluency over button-mashing. But he also brings a math minor's precision to the Writing and Language section, where spotting logical inconsistencies in passage structure is more engineering-brain than English-brain. His 1450 SAT confirms he's navigated the full test architecture the PSAT mirrors.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. I am majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Political Science, and I am working down the pre-med track. I have experience teaching, as I am currently a teaching assistant for General Chemistry at Pitt and I have also tutored with Kumon Learning in the past. The areas that I am most passionate about tutoring are SAT prep and college-level courses. This is because I know how stressful these two can be to students. My goal is to try and alleviate some of that stress and make you feel prepared and confident for taking the SAT and passing college courses with flying colors. My belief is that for a person to live a rich life, they should be constantly learning about something new. It helps keeps your mind sharp throughout life, and helps you appreciate the world around you. This is a belief that I try to stress to everyone around me, including my students. In terms of my tutoring style, I try to build a rigid lesson plan for my students that will prepare them, but at the same time, not overwhelm them. I have found that organization and having a plan are keys to success in education.

The PSAT rewards the same core skills as the SAT, and Aarav's 1590 SAT composite means he can pinpoint exactly where a student's reading, writing, or math performance needs sharpening to push into National Merit range. He zeroes in on high-yield areas like command-of-evidence questions and passport-to-advanced-math problems that carry the most weight on score day.

I am a Biology geek, currently enrolled in NYU pursuing a Masters in Bioinformatics. I love all things science, and am building a career working in Big Data. I love working with kids of all ages, and evaluate each child to determine what resources work best.

I am currently a second year student at Babson College, studying for a bachelors of science degree in business with a concentration in finance and entrepreneurship. I am a motivated student and have taken the highest level of courses possible in both high school and my first year of college. I am a very mathematically minded person so I have a deep understanding of numbers which will help me effectively teach math based courses. I believe that I will make a good tutor because I am able to effectively teach in a number of different styles including visual, verbal and by example so I can make sure that if a student does not understand something at first, they will at the end.

I am passionate about education, learning, teaching, and specifically literatures and languages. I have experience as an ESL teacher for young children and teens, as well as experience working as a Writing Consultant at my undergraduate institution. I also spent all four years of my undergraduate career volunteering as an SAT tutor for local high schoolers. Beyond this, I have experience both as a private and public Spanish tutor. I love to help students reach their educational and personal goals in any way that I can.

I am a junior at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania studying Economics, Finance, and Business Analytics. For the last few years, I have been helping students with college application and test prep help, such as college essays, common app, and SAT/Subject SATs. I came from a high school where these resources for college and SAT prep were not as readily available, so I want to work towards making college more accessible by helping students with their application. Past students of mine have gotten into NYU, UMich, and Georgetown.

I am currently a junior majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology at Emory University. In my free time, I dance in a college organization, work as a researcher and serve as the philanthropy chairwoman for Gamma Phi Beta.

I'm recent college graduate with academic experience across the board, including history (my major), data analysis (my minor), music, sociology, Spanish, and math, and I love sharing what I know with other students. Before college, I wrote many a college application essay and took practice test upon practice test for the SAT, SAT subject tests, AP tests, and ACTs. I was greatly helped by my academic mentors back then and would love to help you out now if you need assistance with that process.

I am a current Master's student at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in NYC and am set to enter their Osteopathic Medicine program this upcoming fall. I have studied for many science-related courses and exams ranging from SATs, GRE, and MCAT. I am excited to share my experiences with other students to help them succeed in their own journeys. I prefer to focus on building healthy study habits to allow students to gradually excel independently.

I am currently a student at Boston College, majoring Biology and Hispanic Studies. From my experience of tutoring since high school, I realized how much I love teaching and getting to know my students. Teaching has always been a rewarding experience for me and I am grateful that I have the ability to provide not only knowledge, but also support and inspiration as a mentor and a friend; I believe that students and tutors alike can learn and continue to grow in a positive manner through such experience. Although I have tutored a wide range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are Korean and Spanish, for learning a new language comes with multifaceted benefits.

I'm a freelance writer, recent Yale grad, former concert pianist and word lover. For the past three years I've worked as a writing specialist at the Yale College Writing Center, where I edited papers on topics from Turkish prison reform to Faulkner to hemoglobin studies. This past summer, I traveled to 14 countries as part of the singing group Whim 'n Rhythm. On that trip, I taught a cappella, singing and choral workshops with students of all ages. It was incredible and hugely affirming -- music is truly a global language!
