I am a recent graduate of Columbia University currently working as a freelance writer and tutor while also maintaining a part-time job as a foreign sub-editor at "The Viet Nam News" as a Princeton in Asia fellow.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am comfortable tutoring math subjects up to multivariable calculus and differential equations, as well as college physics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most students benefit from 2-4 months of focused ISEE preparation, though the ideal timeline depends on your starting point and target schools. Students who begin with strong foundational skills in reading, math, and verbal reasoning may need less time, while those addressing specific gaps benefit from a longer preparation window. Personalized tutoring helps accelerate progress by targeting your unique weak points rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum, which means you're not spending time on concepts you've already mastered.
The verbal reasoning section tests both vocabulary and logical thinking—students need to understand word meanings and analyze relationships between words and ideas. Many students struggle because they approach it like a vocabulary test rather than a reasoning puzzle. Working with a tutor helps you develop strategies for tackling unfamiliar words in context, recognizing common question patterns, and managing time effectively. Personalized instruction pinpoints whether your challenge is vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension, or test-taking strategy, so you focus practice where it matters most.
Yes, ISEE math varies significantly by level. Lower Level (grades 5-6) focuses on basic arithmetic and foundational concepts, Middle Level (grades 7-8) introduces pre-algebra and early algebraic thinking, and Upper Level (grades 9+) requires stronger algebra and geometry skills. Beyond difficulty, the test also emphasizes different problem-solving approaches at each level. A tutor familiar with your specific ISEE level can align practice with exactly what you'll encounter and help you build the problem-solving flexibility the test rewards, rather than just drilling computational skills.
Strong ISEE readers use active reading strategies: previewing questions before reading the passage, annotating key ideas and main arguments, and identifying the author's purpose. Many students slow down trying to remember every detail, but the ISEE rewards understanding structure and central ideas instead. Personalized tutoring helps you develop an efficient reading approach tailored to your natural pace and strengths, practice with passages at your specific level, and build confidence on complex topics you might find challenging. Over time, this targeted practice leads to faster comprehension and higher accuracy.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about your approach. The best antidote is specific, repeated practice with real ISEE questions under timed conditions, which builds genuine confidence in your abilities. Beyond practice, working with a tutor helps you develop a structured problem-solving routine you can rely on during the test—when you have a system, you're less likely to panic. Many students also benefit from learning breathing techniques and mindset strategies specifically for test day. Consistent preparation gives you the foundation to manage pressure when it counts.
The ISEE tests reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving under time pressure—skills that aren't always the focus of regular classroom instruction. Classroom learning emphasizes deep understanding of concepts, while ISEE success requires working efficiently within strict time limits and applying concepts in unfamiliar contexts. Personalized ISEE tutoring bridges this gap by combining conceptual understanding with strategic test-taking practice, time management techniques, and targeted drill on question types you find most difficult. This focused approach means you're not re-learning material you already know; instead, you're building the specific skills the ISEE rewards.
