Kaley
CogAT Prep Tutor • +21 Subjects
Teaching has always been a passion and interest of mine. I love to watch students grow and see their excitement for learning new things. Through my enthusiasm and attitude, I hope to share with my students my passion for education and instill lifelong learners. I have experience working with several elementary-aged students. I graduated from Texas Woman's University and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Education. I am licensed to teach Early Childhood-6th grade. I also obtained my English as a Second Language certification. While attending school, I worked several jobs where I was able to work with students of all ages. I observed and worked in different classrooms and created and implemented different academic material. After graduating, I was hired at a local elementary school where I have taught 1st grade for the past three years. The subjects I will be offering to tutor are all elementary core subjects including math, reading, writing, phonics, science, and social studies (pre-K- 6th grade). I look forward to working with your child!

Brian
MCAT Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills Tutor • +9 Subjects
I attended The University of New England and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Biology. Before my graduation, I had extensive experience tutoring biochemistry and other topics within the sciences. After graduating, I have continued teaching basic reading skills and mathematics to adult students with the Literacy Volunteers of Greater Hartford. While I am currently applying to medical school, I am also working as a Research Assistant at Massachusetts General Hospital. Additionally, I am continuing to maintain the Firefighter and EMT certifications that I have used extensively over the last seven years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Chemistry, Critical Reading, and Writing. In my experience, thoroughly understanding these topics will prepare students for standardized tests such as the SAT or MCAT (both of which I have taken). Overall, I love helping students of any level achieve their academic aspirations.

I aim to take a student from frustration to understanding. I use a variety of approaches and tailor them to meet the student's needs. I truly enjoy seeing tutees succeed. I am passionate about all aspects of teaching. I owe that to my parents who supported education by serving on boards of education.My BackgroundI graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan Univerity (BS, biology) and UNMC (doctor of pharmacy, Pharm.D.)I am a board-certified psychiatric pharmacist (BCPP)I have taught/mentored pharmacy students; written chapters in psychiatry for the predecessor for Rx Prep (PharmPrep); and written test questions for BCPP recertification materials. I currently work in the area of Medical Education.I have been tutoring 2 years. My successful tutees display similar qualities (of those I know, about 85% pass their first retry, and the majority pass an additional attempt). Adequate Prep Time, Engagement, and Dedication were paramount to their success.Our sessions will be relaxed, though serious, and not seem like a chore.My specialties are calculations and psychiatry/neurology, but I am also very proficient in many of the other areas on the exam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.
Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.
Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.
Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.
Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.
Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
