Lila
College English Tutor • +12 Subjects
Texas has been my home for twenty-five years. I was born in Lexington, Kentucky, but moved to Round Rock, Texas after serving in the U.S. Navy. I hold a teaching certificate in Texas and Kentucky and have over ten years of experience teaching Spanish and French in both states.I hold a Ph.D. in Spanish and a B.A. in French and Spanish.Learning a language involves many skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Sometimes, grammar may be a stumbling block. Sometimes, it's reading comprehension. Or a student may need extra practice to prepare for AP exams I tailor tutoring sessions to fit the skill level of each student.In addition to Spanish and French, I tutor in Writing, Literature, Grammar and Mechanics. I am multi-published (young adult novels, short stories, biographies, and translations). Over the years, I have coached many new writers, both adults and young adults.In my free time (when I'm not writing), I like to swim, read, and play backgammon. I have three grown children, two cats, and two dogs.
Jerell
College English Tutor • +8 Subjects
I graduated from Connecticut College in 2014 where I majored in English with a minor in film studies; I plan to eventually pursue a PhD in English Literature. I tutored for three of my four years as an undergraduate in the Roth Writing Center located at my alma mater. As a writing center tutor I helped students of various skill levels promote clarity and eliminate ambiguity in their writing. Additionally, I have helped students develop close reading strategies across the humanities, particularly in the area of U.S. History, one of my personal favorite subjects. My approach to tutoring tends to revolve around questions; I often begin sessions simply by having the student describe what it is they wish to gain from the time we have and then changing our focus accordingly. Outside of academia my hobbies/interests include reading, screenwriting, classical Hollywood cinema (Hitchcock in particular), cooking, and improvisational comedy.

Cuong
3rd Grade Science Tutor • +60 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering. My experience with tutoring comes from helping my younger cousins (ranging from elementary to high school) in their school work. My favorite subjects, and the subjects that I tutor, are math and the sciences because I enjoy working with numbers. My teaching philosophy is help students understand the theory/concept rather than rote memorizationalthough there are times when being able to memorize details are important. When I tutor I like to break the problem down into smaller steps which helps my students understand the material better. On my free time I like to go to the gym, hang out with friends, and practice programming.
Matthew
Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a graduate of Purdue University. I earned a Bachelor of Science with majors in physics, mathematics, and statistics. I am currently attending Oakland University where I earning a Master of Science in physics. I teach an introductory physics lab and perform research in the field of cosmic inflation. I tutor a wide range of physics and math topics. I believe that students learn the material best when they understand why it's true and can relate it to situations that they are familiar with. I try to connect the material to real world situations whenever possible.

Ruth A.
ACT Prep Tutor • +20 Subjects
I specialize in ACT, SAT and GED preparation. I was lucky to grow up in western New York with parents and a community that installed positive values. I earned a BS degree in Ceramic Engineering, minor in mathematics, which I love. After 20 years of corporate sales experience and 15 years as a winery business owner that I helped grow and then sell, I then decided to pursue my passion to help others. I chose ventures in real estate and tutoring mathematics in which both careers require helping and providing guidance. I plan to be there every step of the way. Now you can understand why my motto is "Your Success is My Mission."
Minh
Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
At a young age, I had been exposed to the benefits of tutoring. I seemed to work at a slower pace and have a harder time understanding concepts compared to my peers. However with a tutor I found that my pace quickened allowing me to catch up. Later on in my academic career I found through tutoring others I have developed a more in depth understanding of the material, which I desire to have. By tutoring others, I am able to pay it forward and help guide those who are having difficulty, like many have help guided me. My specialization and major is Chemistry. Chemistry is easily my favorite topic although I would not consider it "easy". Understanding key concepts and fundamentals will allow others to see the depth and the amazing things chemistry can show us.I am grateful to all of those who tutored me in the past and I would like to pass it on by sharing what I have learned to others! I believe with hard work and dedication, success is inevitable.
Paul
Conversational German Tutor • +6 Subjects
I am a recent graduate from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities who majored in German Studies and minored in Public Health and Translation. During my Undergraduate career I studied abroad for 5 months at the Albert-Ludwig Universität in Freiburg, Germany. While studying in Germany I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to live in an apartment style dorm with 5 German roommates. This gave me a first hand look at life in Germany as well as a better command of the German language.In my free time I enjoy reading books in German as well as watching German movies. Outside of German I like to golf, play pick up soccer with friends, bike, hike, and watch movies. I consider myself a movie buff and can answer most any movie trivia thrown my way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and current gaps. Students typically see 5-10 point improvements in their Quantitative score within 4-8 weeks of focused tutoring, though some see larger gains. The GMAT Quantitative section is scored on a scale of 6-51, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you target specific problem areas—whether that's data sufficiency logic, geometry foundations, or test pacing—rather than reviewing material you already know well.
Working with a tutor also helps you identify which question types consistently trip you up and develop problem-solving strategies that match your thinking style, which often yields faster progress than self-study alone.
The most common struggles include pacing under pressure, distinguishing between Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency question types, and gaps in foundational math concepts (especially geometry and rates). Many students can solve problems correctly when given unlimited time, but the 2-minute average per question on test day creates anxiety and careless errors.
Other frequent pain points are recognizing when to use algebraic versus logical reasoning, managing complex word problems with multiple variables, and understanding the strategic differences between Data Sufficiency (which asks "is there enough information?") and traditional math problems. Personalized tutoring helps you practice these specific challenges in isolation before combining them under timed conditions.
A strong GMAT Quantitative tutor combines deep subject knowledge with test strategy expertise. They should understand not just the math concepts, but the specific reasoning traps the GMAT uses—like answer choices designed to catch common errors or questions that reward strategic thinking over brute-force calculation.
Look for someone who can diagnose whether your struggles stem from conceptual gaps, weak test strategy, or pacing/anxiety issues, and tailor instruction accordingly. They should also be familiar with official GMAT practice materials and able to help you review actual test questions to understand the test makers' logic. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors experienced in GMAT prep who can create a personalized study plan based on your diagnostic performance.
Data Sufficiency questions have a unique logic that trips up many test-takers because they're not asking you to solve the problem—they're asking whether you have enough information to solve it. This requires a different approach than Problem Solving: you evaluate each statement independently first, then together, without necessarily computing a final answer.
The key is practicing the answer choice logic (there are only 5 possible answers) until it becomes automatic, then drilling with real GMAT questions to see how the test exploits common logical errors. A tutor can walk you through the decision tree, show you time-saving shortcuts, and help you avoid the trap of overcomplicating these questions. Many students improve significantly on Data Sufficiency once they stop treating it like traditional math and start treating it like a logic puzzle.
Practice tests serve two purposes: diagnostics and stamina training. Early in prep, use full practice tests to identify which Quantitative topic areas need the most work (geometry, rates, combinatorics, etc.) and whether your struggles are conceptual, strategic, or timing-related. Then focus your tutoring on those specific gaps.
Later in your study plan, take practice tests under authentic timed conditions to build test-day confidence and reveal any pacing or anxiety issues that emerge under pressure. After each test, review not just wrong answers but also questions you rushed through or second-guessed. Varsity Tutors recommends using official GMAC practice tests, and a tutor can help you extract the maximum learning from each one by analyzing your patterns rather than just scoring.
You have approximately 2 minutes per question on average (62 minutes for 31 questions), but smart pacing means spending less time on easier questions to build a buffer for harder ones. Most students should aim to solve 25-28 questions with confidence rather than rushing through all 31 with careless errors.
The GMAT adapts to your performance, so an early wrong answer is less costly than rushing and making mistakes on questions you could have solved correctly. A tutor helps you practice distinguishing quick-solve problems from those requiring more time, developing elimination strategies for Data Sufficiency, and building the mental stamina to stay focused through all 62 minutes of math. Practice under real timing conditions is essential—without it, you won't know which strategies actually work for you when pressure is on.
Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of focused Quantitative prep, depending on their starting point and target score. If you're strong in math but new to the GMAT format, 4-6 weeks of tutoring plus independent practice is often sufficient. If you have foundational gaps or need to jump 10+ points, plan for 8-12 weeks.
The ideal study schedule includes 2-3 tutoring sessions per week combined with 5-10 hours of independent practice—reviewing concepts between sessions, drilling weak areas, and taking timed practice sets. Consistency matters more than intensity; regular, focused work over 8 weeks outperforms cramming over 2 weeks. A tutor can create a realistic timeline based on your diagnostic score, target score, and available study hours.
