Cera
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +58 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering. I am also a Salt Lake Community College graduate. I love building things, challenging the status quo, and studying the way the world works. I have tutored for just over three years, and I tutor physics, algebra, reading, and test prep. Physics is one of my passions because I love learning about the world around me. Physics is intuitive and learning the laws that govern the world around us helps expand our understanding. I am a very hands-on tutor. I believe that working directly with things and especially working on projects of interest helps us learn and make connections better than anything else. I love analogies, experiments, and anything else that helps bring the problems off the page and into the student's life. I love to invent and build things and I spend most of my spare time working on humanitarian teams through my university or sewing my own clothing.

A.J.
GRE Analytical Writing Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a lawyer in the Washington, D.C. area. I tutor in the test prep space - primarily for the SAT, ACT, and LSAT. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2013, where I was a National Merit Scholar. I then spent one year in the Washington, D.C. area as a SAT/ACT instructor for a testing company, where I taught at four different area high schools and marketed company services to area high school students. I then attended the University of Virginia School of Law, where I was awarded a full tuition scholarship in part from my LSAT score. I also taught an SAT course for the same testing company during my time in law school. My teaching philosophy is simple: figure out what works for you and assisting you in achieving your best score. I'm pretty much always available to answer questions even outside of our tutoring time.
Alexander
Geometry Tutor • +52 Subjects
I've been a university professor for the past five years and have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. I began tutoring informally while I was still in high school, helping friends get ready for their SATs, helping them with assignments. I realized quickly that I was suddenly helping half of my school so I decided to make some fliers, and some money, and offer my tutoring to anyone and everyone in my hometown. Suffice to say, some odd years have gone by since then and now, even as a full-time professor, I find myself enjoying the experience of tutoring and helping students on an individual level enough to continue doing it. With a background in the sciences and mathematics, and a graduate degree in philosophy I'm incredibly well-rounded in terms of what I'm capable of teaching and moreover, have a generally positive pedagogical approach to everything; I really do love teaching. Even fields in which I have little experience become a contest with myself to master solely for the sake of helping a student. I have extensive experience in reading, writing, and editing (I've been published several times over as both head author and editor) and its something that I truly love to do. I currently hold three Undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Linguistics, as well as two Graduate degrees in Philosophy and Theology. From basic English to advanced Banjo I look forward to engaging in any assignment that anyone may have for me!

Frequently Asked Questions
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges GRE test-takers face, especially on the Quantitative section where you have roughly 1.5 minutes per question. A tutor can help you identify which question types consistently slow you down—whether that's data interpretation, geometry, or complex word problems—and teach you strategic shortcuts specific to those formats. Practice with timed sections is essential; tutors often use full-length practice tests to pinpoint where you're losing time and help you develop realistic strategies for skipping difficult questions strategically rather than getting stuck.
GRE Reading Comprehension passages are dense and often feature unfamiliar academic topics, making it easy to get lost in details. Effective tutors teach active reading techniques like annotating for main idea, author's tone, and argument structure—skills that differ significantly from how you read for pleasure. They also help you practice the specific question types (inference, detail, main idea, author's purpose) so you recognize what each question is really asking, which is often the key to avoiding trap answers designed to catch careless readers.
Many test-takers struggle with algebra (especially manipulating equations and solving for variables), word problems (translating English into math), and data interpretation under time pressure. Geometry and coordinate geometry also trip up students who haven't seen these topics since high school. A tutor can assess which of these areas are holding back your score and focus on building conceptual understanding rather than just memorizing formulas—this approach helps you tackle unfamiliar variations of familiar topics, which is what the GRE tests.
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) is often neglected, but it's highly improvable with targeted practice. Most students can gain 1-2 points (on the 0-6 scale) by learning the specific structure GRE graders expect: a clear thesis, relevant examples, logical reasoning, and error-free writing. A tutor can provide feedback on your essays that goes beyond grammar—helping you develop stronger arguments, anticipate counterarguments, and manage the 30-minute time constraint. Since many programs weight the AWA less heavily than Quant and Verbal, tutors often help you decide whether to prioritize it based on your target schools.
Most students see measurable improvements within 4-8 weeks of consistent tutoring and practice, though the timeline depends on your starting point and target score. If you're aiming for a 10-15 point increase, you might achieve that in 6-10 sessions; larger jumps (20+ points) typically require longer commitment and more independent practice between sessions. The key is combining tutoring with regular full-length practice tests—tutors use these to track progress and adjust strategy, so you're not just studying harder but studying smarter based on what's actually holding your score back.
Test anxiety on the GRE often stems from unfamiliar question formats, time pressure, or past experiences with standardized tests. Tutors build confidence by demystifying the test structure, teaching you exactly what to expect in each section, and running timed practice drills so the format feels familiar on test day. They also help you develop a realistic pacing strategy and permission to skip hard questions—knowing you have a plan reduces panic. Many tutors discuss mindset and test-day logistics (sleep, timing, breaks) to help you approach the exam as a manageable challenge rather than a high-stakes threat.
Taking full-length, timed practice tests under realistic conditions is non-negotiable for GRE prep—they reveal your true score, not just your ability on untimed questions. A tutor helps you use practice tests strategically: taking one early to establish a baseline, then using subsequent tests to track progress and identify patterns in your mistakes (Are you missing inference questions? Running out of time on Quant?). The real value comes from thorough review afterward—tutors help you understand not just what you got wrong, but why the right answer is correct and how to recognize similar questions in the future.
While the GRE does test vocabulary, memorizing a 5,000-word list is an inefficient approach. Modern GRE questions often provide context clues, and the test focuses more on your ability to understand how words function in sentences and arguments. A tutor can teach you to use word roots, prefixes, and suffixes to decode unfamiliar words, and help you focus on high-frequency GRE vocabulary (words that actually appear repeatedly). They'll also help you practice reading comprehension and text completion in context, which is far more effective than flashcards alone for building the vocabulary skills the GRE actually tests.
