Jennifer
Arithmetic Tutor • +39 Subjects
I am a firm believer in problem-based learning, and encourage students to ask questions and think for themselves. Although I will not provide answers or a quick and simple fix, I will provide students with guidance and encouragement as they work through problems and learn to apply familiar concepts to unfamiliar situations. I also believe strongly in teaching "to the student," and therefore adapt my teaching to fit each individual's needs and learning styles. By pinpointing and addressing students' weaknesses and creating a comfortable, nurturing environment in which they can learn, I work to help students solidify their knowledge base and learn how to learn. Hobbies: baking, running, art, travel, reading, photography, writing, books, traveling, music

Sam
12th Grade math Tutor • +85 Subjects
I am a graduate of the State University of New York at Albany. I graduated Cum Laude in May, 2013.I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a minor in Philosophy. Since graduation, I have been coaching wrestling at a nearby high school, as well as serving at a local restaurant. I have been tutoring students since I was in high school, in subjects ranging from simple arithmetic to advanced calculus to SAT preparation. I have even tutored middle school and high school Spanish! My clients have ranged from middle school students to college students. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about mathematics. I have found that there is no correct way to tutor students, for every student has vastly different needs; therefore, I try to always teach in a way that specifically caters to each individual's specific needs. I strongly believe that a good education is key to a happy and successful life. Oftentimes, students just need the right person with the right teaching style for that education to be a fun, easy process. In my free time, I enjoy reading, working out, word and number games, and spending time with my friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students typically see meaningful progress within 4-8 weeks of regular tutoring, with improvements ranging from 1-3 scale score points on the ASPIRE Math section. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or problem-solving strategies—and focusing practice there. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who develop personalized study plans based on your diagnostic results, helping you maximize improvement before test day.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges students face on ASPIRE Math. A solid strategy is to spend about 1-1.5 minutes per question on average, but prioritize accuracy over speed. Start by answering all questions you're confident about, then return to harder problems if time allows. Many students waste time struggling with one difficult problem instead of moving forward. Expert tutors teach you how to quickly identify which problems to tackle first, recognize question types that typically take longer, and manage test anxiety so you stay focused. Practice with full-length tests under timed conditions is essential for building this skill.
Students most often struggle with word problems that require multiple steps, questions involving ratios and proportional reasoning, and geometry concepts like angles and area. Many also find it challenging to recognize which mathematical operations to use when information is presented in unfamiliar ways. Additionally, some students struggle with the time pressure of working through complex problems quickly while maintaining accuracy. A tutor can identify your specific weak spots through diagnostic testing and targeted practice, allowing you to focus your study time on the areas that will have the biggest impact on your score.
The best ASPIRE Math tutors combine deep knowledge of the test format with strong teaching skills. They understand the unique question types and time constraints, can break down complex problems into manageable steps, and know which shortcuts and strategies actually save time during the test. Great tutors also adapt to your learning style—whether you learn best through visual explanations, worked examples, or hands-on problem solving. They identify your weak areas quickly, track your progress across multiple practice tests, and help build confidence by celebrating improvements. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in ASPIRE Math preparation and understand what it takes to help you succeed.
Practice tests are your most important preparation tool because they help you identify weak areas, build test-taking stamina, and get comfortable with the format under time pressure. Start with untimed practice to focus on accuracy and understanding, then progress to full-length timed tests. After each practice test, review every question you missed—not just to learn the right answer, but to understand why you made that mistake. Did you misread the question? Run out of time? Forget a formula? Your tutor helps you analyze these patterns and adjust your study strategy accordingly. Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full-length practice tests spread throughout their preparation period.
Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or losing confidence when you encounter a difficult problem. The best antidote is consistent practice and building familiarity with the test format. Tutors teach specific stress-management strategies like controlled breathing, positive self-talk, and techniques for staying focused when you don't immediately know how to solve a problem. Practicing under timed conditions helps normalize the pressure so test day feels less overwhelming. Additionally, learning to accept that you won't solve every problem perfectly—and developing a strategy to move past difficult questions—significantly reduces anxiety. Building confidence through targeted preparation is one of the most powerful ways to manage test stress.
For most students, 4-8 weeks of consistent preparation is ideal. A typical schedule includes 2-3 tutoring sessions per week (60-90 minutes each) combined with independent practice between sessions. During each week, aim to spend 3-4 hours total on ASPIRE Math preparation, including both focused skill-building and full-length practice tests. If you're starting significantly below your target score, you may benefit from a longer timeline—8-12 weeks with consistent work. Your tutor helps create a customized study plan based on your current level, target score, and availability. The most important factor is consistency; steady weekly progress beats cramming in the weeks before the test.
