Erica
10th Grade Math Tutor • +31 Subjects
As a graduating senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Business School in May of 2016, majoring in Accounting, I am eager to further expand my career and experiences. I believe that my dedication and strong work ethic, combined with my analytical and organizational skills would make me a perfect fit as a tutor.The courses I have taken, as well as the many organizations and previous work experience I have attained has provided me with customer interaction experience, proved my reliability, and enhanced my leadership and mathematical skills. Math has always been my strongest subject, as shown through my math testing scores, and advanced placement upon entering college. Similarly, my enriched abilities in organization and communication would prove extremely useful for this position.As I worked my way up from a retail employee to the manager and webstore manager of a retail store, I gained leadership skills, technological skills, as well as business decision making and managing financial data. I carried over these skills into many of the organizations in which I took part, such as the community service committee of Beta Alpha Psi and the Institute of Management Accountants. As an accounting volunteer tutor with Beta Alpha Psi, I gained valuable experience that I can apply to my future tutoring sessions. Through these positions, I have been able to further my technological, leadership, and organizational skills, while also strengthening my management and communication talents.Another important strength I have is in my computer skills, especially with Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, and Excel. While working as manager and webstore manager, I expanded my computer knowledge, and further enhanced these skills through classes and organizations over the last few years.Over the course of 4 years in high school, I also volunteered once a week as an after-school tutor and homework helper for elementary school students. It was an extremely gratifying experience, being able to teach these students??? important concepts and methods that I understood.
Joey
Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I recently graduated from the University of Florida cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. In fall, I will be beginning medical school at The University of Florida College of Medicine. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine. Throughout high school, I tutored fellow students struggling in core subject areas such as AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, and AP Economics. Then in college, I worked for a tutoring company for three years continuing this passion through tutoring calculus and statistics.It has always been my goal to cater to the unique learning style of those that I tutor so that they may not only earn a good grade in their course, but also so that they may actually master and enjoy the subject matter as much as possible. With my 8 years of experience, not only do I know the subjects that I tutor in well, but I have also identified and learned different ways to explain difficult concepts in everyday language to my students.

ACT Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects
I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in creative writing. I'm currently a filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. Since graduating I've worked extensively with an organization called the Creative Mind Group, a non-profit that pairs college-aged students with prestigious internships at film festivals around the globe. I've worked with students internationally in Berlin, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.I've had a rich and interesting tutoring experience, having taught jazz piano, chess, video editing, and even taught basic English skills to Japanese speakers over Skype. For the past year I've volunteered with NY Cares, an organization that brings high-quality after-school programs to low income communities.I've always excelled both academically and in standardized tests. I know that intelligent and targeted private instruction has helped me all throughout my academic career. I'd love to fulfill that role for a student who's looking for that bit of extra help. I am most passionate about teaching reading and writing skills.I believe that learning should be fun but not without rigor. If I can figure out a hook to engage a student in the material, then I think I've done a good job.

Zuzanna
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am a graduate of Arizona State University, I got my degree in biological science. My favorite subjects have always been math and science. I learned to love math at a young age when I came to the Unites States from Poland, because it was the only subject that made sense to me at the time since I did not speak English. Over the years, I have found passion for science as well. Throughout high school and college I spent lots of my time working as a swim instructor for children and adults of all ages, and I also tutored various subjects on the side. I really enjoy teaching and being able to impact the lives of others by helping them with concepts they struggle with or introducing new concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Hazardous Material Certification Exam tests your knowledge of regulations, safety protocols, and proper handling procedures for dangerous goods. The exam typically covers DOT (Department of Transportation) regulations, classification of hazardous materials, packaging and labeling requirements, documentation, and emergency response procedures.
A tutor can help you understand how these topics interconnect and identify which regulatory areas are most heavily weighted on your specific exam, allowing you to prioritize your study time effectively.
Many students struggle with memorizing the extensive regulatory classifications and special handling procedures for different material categories. The exam also requires understanding complex documentation requirements and scenario-based questions that test whether you can apply regulations to real-world situations—not just recall facts.
Additionally, time management is a frequent issue, as test-takers need to carefully read each question while staying within the time limit. Working with a tutor helps you develop strategies to identify key regulatory details quickly and practice applying rules to unfamiliar scenarios before test day.
An effective tutor should have deep knowledge of DOT regulations and hazardous materials classifications, plus practical experience in the industry or test preparation. They should be able to explain complex regulations clearly and help you understand the reasoning behind rules, rather than just drilling memorization.
Look for a tutor who creates practice scenarios, reviews your weak areas, and teaches you to recognize question patterns and tricky wording. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who combine subject expertise with proven test-preparation skills tailored to your learning style.
Study timelines vary based on your background and familiarity with hazmat regulations, but most test-takers benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. If you have industry experience, you may need less time; if regulations are new to you, plan for the longer end of that range.
A structured study schedule with a tutor—covering regulatory sections systematically, completing practice tests, and reviewing weak areas—helps you use your study time efficiently. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a personalized timeline that gets you exam-ready without unnecessary cramming.
Practice tests are essential for hazmat exam preparation. They help you identify which regulatory areas you haven't mastered, get comfortable with question formats and timing pressure, and build confidence before the real exam. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions is especially valuable for revealing pacing problems.
A tutor can review your practice test results to pinpoint patterns in your mistakes—whether you're misunderstanding regulations, falling for trick wording, or rushing through questions. This targeted feedback lets you focus your remaining study time where it matters most.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but students who work consistently with a tutor typically see significant gains. Many test-takers move from failing or barely passing to passing with comfortable margins, or from passing to passing with high scores.
The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's memorizing material classes, understanding documentation rules, or applying regulations to scenarios—and targeting those gaps. Your tutor will help you track progress on practice tests and adjust your strategy as you improve.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about content or unfamiliarity with question formats. The most effective antidote is thorough preparation: when you've practiced with realistic questions and fully understand the material, confidence naturally follows.
A tutor helps you build that confidence by creating a personalized study plan, explaining confusing topics until they click, and having you take multiple practice tests under realistic conditions. You'll also learn specific test-day strategies—like reading questions carefully before answering and managing your time—so you feel prepared and in control when you sit for the exam.
