Joey
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.

Anya
Middle School Math Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a graduate of the MA Fashion Studies program at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, having previously studied linguistics and foreign languages (concentrating in Russian and French) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and at McGill University in Montreal. I currently serve as adjunct faculty in the Art and Design History and Theory department at Parsons, where I specialize in courses which combine numerous disciplines within the humanities, such as a course about the relationship between fashion and language and a graduate seminar about writing for fashion publications. I have also led elementary summer art camp workshops in my hometown of Los Alamos, New Mexico. My teaching methods, which are interactive, engaging, and tailored to a range of learning styles, have consistently been described by my students as motivational and encouraging. I tutor a wide range of subjects, from Middle School Math to PSAT and SAT test preparation, but I am most passionate about Critical Reading and Writing and Essay Editing. These are areas in which my students make remarkable progress in short periods of time and also find great pleasure in relating the themes of their writing to their own outside interests and passions. I also enjoy helping students prepare to take standardized tests by addressing, in an understanding and accommodating way, the common anxieties and stresses that can accompany test-taking. Outside of school and tutoring, I enjoy traveling, reading, visiting museums, cooking, and snowboarding.
Benjamin
AP Statistics Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in middle and high school, I developed a reputation of being a good source of help within my classes in a non-tutor capacity, and grew that into a peer tutor role a couple times a week during lunch my senior year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules, and other intuitive shortcuts.
Vansh
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.
Emily
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have! Hobbies: reading, writing, books, traveling, music, art, travel

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors for all major graduate entrance exams, including the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, and DAT. Whether you're preparing for business school, law school, medical school, or dental school, tutors can help you master the specific content and test-taking strategies needed for your target exam. Each test has unique challenges—from MCAT's extensive science content to LSAT's logical reasoning—and tutors tailor instruction to address your particular goals and weak areas.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, study commitment, and how focused your preparation is. Students typically see meaningful gains—often 50-100+ points on the GRE or GMAT—when working with a tutor who helps them identify weak areas, learn strategic approaches, and practice consistently. The key is targeted instruction: rather than studying everything equally, tutors help you focus on concepts and question types where you'll gain the most points. Your tutor can set realistic expectations based on your baseline practice test score and timeline.
Most students benefit from a structured approach that combines content review, strategic skill-building, and full-length practice tests. A typical timeline involves 8-12 weeks of preparation, with sessions focused on your weakest areas early on, then progressing to timed practice and test-day strategy. Tutors typically recommend spacing out study sessions throughout the week rather than cramming, allowing time for concepts to settle between lessons. Practice tests should be spaced strategically—usually every 2-3 weeks—to track progress and identify emerging weak spots before test day.
Graduate tests have unique formats and strict time limits that require specific strategies. For example, the GMAT's computer-adaptive format penalizes wrong answers, the LSAT's logic games demand efficiency, and the MCAT's sheer length tests endurance. Tutors teach format-specific strategies—like when to guess strategically, how to approach different question types, and pacing techniques for each section. Through repeated practice with feedback, you'll develop the muscle memory to recognize question patterns quickly and manage time effectively, turning test anxiety into confidence.
The best way to identify weak areas is to take a full-length practice test under realistic conditions, then analyze your results by section and question type. A tutor can help you interpret those results—distinguishing between careless mistakes and true knowledge gaps—and prioritize what to tackle first. Some students struggle with reading comprehension across all tests, while others find math sections or specific content (like chemistry for the MCAT) more challenging. Tutors use diagnostic assessments to create a targeted study plan that maximizes your score improvement in the time you have.
Yes—test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unfamiliar with the test format and question styles. Working with a tutor builds confidence through mastery: as you understand concepts better and practice timed sections repeatedly, anxiety naturally decreases. Tutors also teach test-day strategies like breathing techniques, how to manage difficult questions without spiraling, and mental approaches to maintain focus over long exams. The combination of solid preparation and strategic confidence-building makes a real difference in how you perform on test day.
Practice tests are one of the most valuable tools in test prep—they reveal your actual performance under time pressure and help you refine strategies before test day. Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full-length practice tests spread throughout their preparation period, with at least one every 2-3 weeks once serious studying begins. Early on, you might practice individual sections untimed to build content knowledge; as you progress, practice full-length exams under timed conditions. Your tutor can help you score and analyze each practice test to identify patterns in your mistakes and adjust your study focus accordingly.
