I'm Sasha and I am a former high school biology teacher and MBA graduate who is excited to help you find success and enjoyment in your biology, chemistry, or math class or SAT II Subject Test. I taught high school biology at a public high school in New Jersey for three years and really enjoyed working with students. Additionally, I've had success on the SAT and the GMAT exams, and look forward to sharing my tips and tricks with students or business school applicants who are gearing up for these exams. Finally, having worked with a wide range of students, including many with IEPs or Section 504 accomodations, I have lots of strategies and ideas to help students who learn differently master content and can also help students who could use some extra support in their organizational and study skills.

Vaibhav

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +56 Subjects

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment, but most students see gains of 50-100 points when working with a tutor who tailors instruction to their weak areas. Students who started around the 500-600 range often see larger percentage gains, while those already scoring 700+ typically see more modest improvements as they're working to crack the highest percentiles. The key is identifying which sections are holding you back—whether it's pacing issues on Quant, reading comprehension strategies on Verbal, or analytical writing clarity—and addressing those specifically.

The most common mistake is rushing through questions without developing a strategic approach, leading to avoidable errors and poor time management. Many students also struggle to identify the specific question types that trip them up—whether it's critical reasoning, data sufficiency, or sentence correction—and end up studying everything broadly rather than targeting weak areas. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who diagnose exactly where you're losing points, teach you strategies for the trickiest question formats, and help you build the pacing discipline needed to finish each section confidently.

Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of preparation, though this varies based on your target score and current baseline. If you're aiming for a top MBA program (700+), expect to invest 80-120 hours of focused study time. Tutoring accelerates this timeline by eliminating inefficient study habits and focusing your effort where it matters most. A tutor can also help you create a realistic study schedule around your work and life commitments, ensuring you stay on track without burning out.

Yes—practice tests are essential to GMAT preparation. Most tutors recommend taking a baseline practice test early to identify your weak sections, then taking 2-3 more full-length tests spaced throughout your prep to track progress and build test-day stamina. The real value comes from reviewing your practice tests with a tutor who can pinpoint patterns: Are you making careless mistakes when rushing? Missing specific question types? Running out of time on certain sections? This analysis transforms practice tests from just a score indicator into a diagnostic tool that shapes your remaining study plan.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with question formats or fear of timing pressure. Expert tutors build confidence by repeatedly exposing you to challenging questions in a low-pressure environment, teaching you to recognize patterns, and developing proven strategies you can rely on under pressure. As you practice with a tutor and see measurable improvement on practice tests, anxiety naturally decreases. Many students also benefit from tutor guidance on test-day logistics and mindset strategies—knowing exactly what to expect and having a game plan makes a huge difference in staying calm and focused when it matters.

A strong GMAT tutor understands the test's logic deeply, can diagnose your specific weak areas quickly, and tailors instruction rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. They should be able to explain not just the right answer, but why the test makers included each wrong choice—and how to avoid those traps. Beyond expertise, look for someone who adapts to your learning style, listens to your concerns about specific sections, and keeps you motivated. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have proven track records on the GMAT, so you can be confident you're working with someone equipped to help you reach your target score.

Absolutely. The AWA is often overlooked but counts toward your overall profile for MBA admissions. Many students struggle with analyzing an argument's logical flaws and articulating a clear critique under time pressure. A tutor can teach you the framework that GMAT graders expect, show you how to identify common logical fallacies quickly, and give you timed practice writing essays with detailed feedback. Unlike the Quant and Verbal sections where right/wrong is clear-cut, the AWA improves significantly with guided practice and specific feedback on your reasoning and organization.
