Sheena
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am pursuing an accelerated Master's Degree in Economics, and a Bachelor's in Chinese language at the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College. I have been pursuing my passion for teaching and tutoring for over four years. I have taught both privately and in group settings on subjects such as Calculus, Economics, SAT, Math, and much more! I am great with any type of standardized testing: specifically, SAT, SAT II on Math 1 and 2, and HSPT. I genuinely love tutoring these subjects as well as math and writing. I believe strongly that my role as a tutor is to help my students approach the material with an anxiety-free, systematic approach. I know just how to make the testing environment one where a student feels both perfectly at ease and well equipped to succeed. I know first hand that testing and learning can be all too ridden with stress and have great techniques to reduce that. My approach to teaching is simple: kindness, calmness, clarity, and fun. I keep my students consistently engaged with questions. I know how to rephrase questions and bring them back in ways that each student is interested in to see maximum results. Most importantly, I find ways to make the material interesting and easily relatable to my students. A personal investment in material is a great way to see progress!

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. Students who struggle with specific math concepts often see the biggest jumps when they get personalized help targeting their weak areas—whether that's fractions, algebra, or word problems. The key is combining tutoring with regular practice between sessions, since skill-building in math requires repetition and application.
The HSPT Math section gives you 45 minutes for 64 questions, so pacing is critical. A smart strategy is to work through problems at a steady pace, skip the ones that stump you immediately, and come back to them if time allows. Tutors can help you practice this approach during sessions so it feels natural on test day. They'll also teach you to recognize which question types typically take longer and help you develop shortcuts for common problem patterns you'll see.
Word problems, fractions, and multi-step algebra equations consistently challenge HSPT test-takers. Many students also find geometry reasoning tricky because it requires visualization and logical thinking rather than just formula memorization. A tutor can identify which of these areas are giving you trouble and break them down into manageable pieces, using real HSPT examples so you understand exactly how these concepts appear on the actual test.
The best HSPT Math tutors combine strong subject knowledge with the ability to explain concepts clearly and patiently. They should be familiar with the HSPT format specifically—not just general math tutoring—so they understand the question types, timing constraints, and strategic approaches that work. They'll also adapt their teaching style to how you learn best, whether that's visual explanations, working through practice problems together, or discussing test-taking strategies. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have proven expertise in HSPT Math preparation.
Practice tests are essential—they help you get comfortable with the format, identify your weak spots, and build stamina for the actual exam. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions also reveals your pacing problems before test day, which is invaluable. A tutor will use practice test results to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points and create a targeted study plan. Most students benefit from taking at least 2-3 full practice tests during their preparation period.
Test anxiety is real, but tutoring helps in two key ways: building confidence through mastery of the material, and teaching specific test-day strategies that reduce panic. When you understand math concepts deeply and practice under timed conditions repeatedly, anxiety naturally decreases because you feel prepared. Tutors also teach breathing techniques, how to move past difficult questions without spiraling, and positive self-talk strategies. Starting preparation early and doing regular practice also significantly reduces anxiety on test day.
A solid preparation timeline is 6-8 weeks with 1-2 tutoring sessions per week, combined with independent practice between sessions. If you're starting with significant math gaps or test anxiety, you may benefit from starting earlier or increasing session frequency. The advantage of working with a tutor is that they can assess your starting level in the first session and create a customized timeline that gets you test-ready without unnecessary drilling. Starting 2-3 months before your test date gives you plenty of time for thorough preparation and confidence-building.
