Vaibhav

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +56 Subjects

Hello, my name is Vaibhav Sharma and I am a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. I majored in neuroscience and chemistry and while I was in college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats how I approach tutoring my clients. I try to use practical examples on how the science principles come into play in the real world.

Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PAT is notoriously difficult because it requires spatial reasoning skills that can't be easily taught through traditional study methods—you need to visualize 3D objects, mentally rotate them, and identify patterns under time pressure. A tutor experienced with DAT can break down each PAT subsection (keyholes, top-front-end, angle ranking, hole punches, cube counting, and pattern folding), teach you systematic approaches to each question type, and provide targeted practice that builds your spatial intuition over time rather than relying on memorization.

The DAT has strict time limits—you get 60 minutes for 40 questions in Reading Comprehension, 45 minutes for 30 questions in Biology, and 45 minutes for 30 questions in Organic Chemistry, among others. Most students struggle with pacing in PAT (60 minutes for 90 questions) and Reading Comprehension. A tutor can help you develop section-specific strategies: for example, learning to skip difficult PAT questions strategically rather than getting stuck, or identifying high-yield reading passages in comprehension. With guided practice, you'll learn realistic timing benchmarks for each section so you're not rushing on test day.

Organic Chemistry on the DAT emphasizes reaction mechanisms, synthesis pathways, and functional group transformations—concepts that require both conceptual understanding and pattern recognition. Many students memorize reactions without understanding the underlying principles, which backfires when the DAT asks about unfamiliar compounds or multi-step syntheses. A tutor can help you build a mechanistic framework so you can predict reactions logically, teach you how to organize reactions by type (substitution, elimination, addition, oxidation-reduction), and use spaced repetition to cement the most commonly tested mechanisms into long-term memory.

DAT Reading Comprehension is unique because passages are dense, technical, and often from unfamiliar fields (biology, chemistry, history, philosophy), and you have limited time to extract key information. The test rewards active reading—identifying main ideas, author tone, and logical structure—rather than detailed memorization. A tutor can teach you how to annotate passages efficiently, distinguish between main ideas and supporting details, and recognize common question traps (like answers that are technically true but don't answer the question asked). Practice with real DAT passages under timed conditions helps you develop the rhythm and confidence needed to score well.

The best way to identify weak areas is to take full-length practice tests under timed conditions and analyze your results by section and question type—not just your overall score. You might discover, for example, that you're strong in Biology content but weak in PAT cube counting, or that you miss inference questions in Reading Comprehension. A tutor can help you interpret practice test data, create a prioritized study plan that focuses on your biggest gaps first, and use diagnostic quizzes to track improvement over time. This targeted approach is far more efficient than reviewing everything equally.

Test anxiety on the DAT often stems from unfamiliarity with the question formats, uncertainty about pacing, or past experiences with timed exams. Building confidence comes from repeated, successful practice under realistic test conditions—taking full-length practice tests, reviewing mistakes thoroughly, and seeing measurable score improvement. A tutor can help you develop pre-test routines, teach you how to manage panic when you encounter a difficult question (skip it strategically, move on, return if time permits), and provide honest feedback about your readiness level so you know whether you're truly prepared or need more time. Many students find that having a structured study plan and a tutor who believes in their ability significantly reduces anxiety.

DAT Biology spans general biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology, and the test emphasizes understanding concepts and applying them to new scenarios rather than memorizing isolated facts. Students often waste time memorizing details that won't be tested while missing high-yield concepts like cellular respiration, photosynthesis, enzyme kinetics, and immune system function. A tutor can help you prioritize what to study, teach you how to connect concepts (for example, how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are mirror processes), and use active recall and spaced repetition to retain information long-term. Practice questions that ask you to apply concepts to unfamiliar organisms or scenarios are especially valuable for DAT prep.

Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full-length practice tests spread throughout their study period—early tests help identify weak areas, middle tests let you practice new strategies, and final tests simulate test-day conditions. The real value comes from analyzing each test thoroughly: reviewing every question you missed (and every question you guessed on correctly), understanding why you made mistakes, and adjusting your approach. A tutor can help you interpret your practice test results, identify patterns in your mistakes (for example, timing issues vs. content gaps), and create a study plan between tests that targets your specific weaknesses. This deliberate practice approach leads to meaningful score improvement.
