I am a driven, positive, affirming tutor who is happy to help students in any way he can. I graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College in 2020, and I obtained my Master's in Political Science from the University of Toronto in 2022. In 2016, I received an SAT score of 1550. That year, I also received a 5 on my AP exams in Calculus AB, English Language, U.S. History, and U.S. Government. I am happy to tutor students in mathematics, English, and social sciences (e.g., history, government). I especially enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra. I believe in a practice-based approach in which I take students step-by-step through the concepts at hand. After practicing together with my guidance, the student will soon be able to apply what they have learned on their own.

I am a recent grad from Georgia Tech, majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering (an intersection of math, computer science, and business) and minoring in Business and Technology. I am originally from Columbus, OH, but chose to come down to Atlanta after getting a full-ride scholarship from Georgia Tech. In my spare time, I love playing/watching sports and travelling around the world (when possible!).
Hi! My name is Alexandra, and I am a Princeton University Neuroscience major with 5+ years of tutoring experience. I specialize in SAT/ACT/PSAT prep and have successfully taught topics ranging from computer science and basic sciences to elementary reading and writing and college essay writing. In high school, I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT on my first attempt, a perfect 1520 on the PSAT/NMSQT, won "finalist" status in the National Merit Scholarship competition, and was a medalist in the New York Science Olympiad. As an undergraduate at the top-ranked university, I focus specifically on standardized test preparation, including the SAT, ACT, and PSAT. I have an understanding of the structure and timing of the exams and the strategic approaches that are required to achieve top scores. I have successfully supported students in improving their performance through individualized study plans because I understand that not all students can use the same approaches to succeed. My approach emphasizes effective time management and a mastery of recurring question types. Outside of college test preparation, I have tutored students ages 5 to 17 in a variety of topics. A common teaching approach I use is to introduce new concepts with example problems that we work through together. I then explain each strategy and help the student through another problem, encouraging them to explain their thinking step by step. Finally, I let the student tackle a problem independently. Once a student can articulate why a method works, they are truly ready to apply it on their own. While this method suits many students, I understand that everyone learns differently and pride myself on being adaptable within and outside of lessons.
As both a student and an employee, I have been involved in higher education for over twenty years. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago (English-Writing), my master's degree from Regis University (Nonprofit Management), and currently hold a college administrative position by day. For a number of years now, I have enjoyed tutoring students in middle school, high school, and college on test preparation (primarily the verbal/reading/writing sections for ACT, SAT, PSAT, HSPT), as well as essay and speech writing. I have a passion for the written word because I feel it is often times the best way to communicate - a way to express our thoughts and feelings in an organized and structured manner, in our own voice and within our control.
I am currently a 4th year medical student at Baylor College of Medicine and previously graduated from Rice University, Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science and Biochemistry & Cell Biology. I have served on admissions interview committees for Rice and Baylor College of Medicine, have mentored and edited essays for numerous college and graduate school applicants, and served as a private tutor and classroom instructor for Advanced Biology and Chemistry courses for 3+ years.
I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together
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.
Hello! I am Jason Min, a recent college graduate looking to do some tutoring over the summer. Please feel free to ask me questions!
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.
No subject, no test, and no question is bigger than you. By the end of our time together, I hope to make you see that my only job was really just to make you see--you really had it in you, all along. If there's any subject in which you truly believe you suck--that you're just the worst, and that nothing will ever help you improve--then don't you dare give up until you've given me a call! I'm a writer, but I love numbers, and nothing makes me more proud than helping students overcome their biggest challenges. I've scored near-perfect on both standardized tests, and I've been helping students understand how to improve their own scores ever since. I'm also capable of tutoring advanced Music Theory topics, as well as Spanish and Mandarin Chinese
As a dedicated tutor with a strong background in Biology and Mathematics from Baylor University, I am passionate about helping students excel in their ACT preparation after receiving a 36 on the test myself. With meaningful tutoring experience, I strive to create a supportive learning environment that fosters confidence and curiosity. My approach emphasizes personalized strategies that cater to each student's unique learning style, ensuring they grasp complex concepts and feel empowered in their abilities. I like to set goals and have a tentative plan for each session while also being flexible to pivot to maximize student experience. I find great joy in witnessing my students achieve their goals, and I am committed to guiding them through their academic journey.

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.
