Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.
Elena
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.
Suzanne
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.

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.
