I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Karen's English Literature degree means she's spent years doing exactly what the PSAT's reading passages demand — tracking how an author develops a claim across paragraphs and identifying the specific lines that prove it. She pairs that close-reading instinct with a 1530 SAT, so the math and writing sections aren't afterthoughts. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am most interested in tutoring Math (geometry, algebra 1/2/prealgebra, trigonometry), Physics 1 and 2, General Chemistry (Honors, AP, or college level), and the MCAT Foundations of Physical Science and Critical Analysis and Reasoning sections.

Pre-med coursework in physiology and biochemistry built Nathan's comfort with the data-heavy reading passages the PSAT throws at students — the ones packed with charts, experiments, and scientific reasoning that feel unfamiliar if you've only practiced with literary excerpts. His 1460 SAT means he's already worked through the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and his strength in the ACT's reading and science sections reinforces the same evidence-tracking skills the PSAT rewards.

Emily's double major in biology and French at Yale means she's spent years toggling between scientific data analysis and close literary reading — the exact split the PSAT tests across its math and Evidence-Based Reading sections. Her perfect 36 ACT and 1550 SAT confirm she knows how standardized tests work at every level, and she uses that experience to teach the specific pacing and elimination strategies that keep students from running out of time on the Writing and Language section. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a rising sophomore at Case Western Reserve University studying engineering. I have taken most high-school level standardized tests, and have scored consistently above the 95th percentile. I have tutored small groups of students throughout high school, and also have experience as a private tutor. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee with my college club team.

I am a 2nd year medical student at Northeast Ohio Medical University and have tutored K-12 and college students over the past 10 years in various subjects ranging from math and science to SAT prep and language arts. My educational background includes an MPA in Development Practice from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, a B.S. in Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology, and a B.S. in Mathematics-Economics (both from UCLA). In addition, I have scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, ACT, and GMAT exams and scored in the 95th percentile on the MCAT. I really enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds and believe all students are capable of learning and being successful with the right approach to education. I would love the chance to discuss in more detail what kind of tutoring you or your student is interested in and thank you for your consideration!

I am currently in my second year of medical school. Because of my diverse academic background, I am able to tutor in a wide range of topics, from Economics and math to Russian and ACT prep.

Priya's math major at Vanderbilt means she doesn't just know the PSAT's Heart of Algebra and Passport to Advanced Math questions — she understands the underlying structures well enough to show students why certain problem setups always point toward a specific solving strategy. That mathematical fluency, paired with her 1570 SAT, also sharpens her approach to the data-interpretation graphs and tables that increasingly show up in the reading and writing sections. She teaches students to spot the difference between what a question is actually asking and what it looks like it's asking.

I am a rising sophomore at Columbia University in the City of New York, a member of the Ivy League, where I have compiled a track record of academic success across a variety of disciplines including my majors in History and Political Science. I currently maintain a 3.96 GPA, with especially strong success in social science related fields and English courses. I am living in our Writers House next year, a selective, competitive residential space for students interested in a career in writing.

As an English major at Penn who also teaches Latin and math, Amy brings an unusual combination to the PSAT — she can unpack a tricky rhetoric passage and then pivot to the algebra-heavy no-calculator section without missing a beat. Her 1560 SAT means she's already dominated the test the PSAT directly mirrors, and she's especially sharp on the Writing and Language questions where grammar rules only make sense when you read the full paragraph around them.

I'm currently working as a Research Associate during my gap year before medical school. During my free time, I enjoy staying active, playing golf, swimming, running, and playing tennis. I love exploring new activities and neighborhoods in the NYC area.

I'm entering my senior year at Case Western Reserve University. I'm happy to provide tutoring services for those interested in improving their academic performance or exam preparation. The subjects which I am most proficient include SAT Math, Algebra 1 , Algebra 2, Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry.

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Music in opera performance and a Bachelor of Arts in art history. I've been tutoring music theory and ear training at school for two years, and have taught private voice lessons for a year. I also have experience tutoring writing, French, and Italian.

I am a current sophomore at Vanderbilt University! I am double majoring in Public Policy and Human & Organizational Development with a minor in Spanish. I first started tutoring in high school, when I started working at Kumon Learning Center and began teaching elementary and middle school students reading and mathematics. I also volunteered my tutoring services through my high school's National Merit Society, through which I helped my peers in advanced subjects such as AP testing, ACT, SAT, and PSAT prep.

I am currently an honors undergraduate student at The Ohio State University studying Data Analytics with a focus on Biomedical and Public Health Analysis. My passion for tutoring comes from the belief that learning is supposed to be a fun and enriching process. I hope to help students find their love for learning. My tutoring experience comes from volunteer tutoring as part of National Honors Society in high school and by coaching/teaching the middle school academic challenge team. In my experience tutoring, I find that it is important to adapt to the learning style of each individual student. I tutor a variety of subjects including math ranging from Algebra through Calculus up to Linear Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, English, and Statistics. My favorite subject to tutor is any sort of math. In my spare time, I like to play sports like basketball or tennis, play video games, and read.

I am a student and life-long learner who is currently between undergraduate and graduate school. In May 2015, I received a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience and Biology from Centre College, and in September 2015, I will attend The Ohio State University to work towards a PhD in neuroscience. Throughout my academic journey, I have been guided by incredible teachers who have served as friends, mentors, and role models. I see teaching as a way to give back to my role models by passing down their knowledge to future generations of students. My well-rounded liberal arts education qualifies me to tutor a variety of subjects including algebra, biology, psychology, reading, and writing. As a neuroscience and biology double-major, I have an especially strong background in psychology and biology; however, I am also passionate about reading and writing as aptitude in these subjects forms the foundation of effective communication and comprehension of all other subjects. My teaching philosophy emphasizes individual learning and personal attention. I graduated from a small college where this philosophy is considered paramount, and by working as a teaching assistant there, I developed my skills as a teacher capable of providing a personalized education. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, reading poetry and fiction, hiking, and training for my first marathon.

I am passionate about the subject, they may feel that they can tap into that passion. Second, I like to engage the student personally. Education can sometimes feel transactional or even coercive. I want my student to feel that I am working for their benefit, and because I care about them, not because I'm getting paid.

Scoring a 1430 on the SAT and a 34 on the ACT means Emma already knows the question patterns the PSAT borrows from its older sibling — the evidence-based reading pairs, the grammar-in-context passages, and the no-calculator math traps. Her cognitive science background gives her a practical edge when teaching test strategy: she breaks down how attention and working memory affect pacing, so students learn to manage their time as deliberately as they study content.

I am also eager to help college students with Algebra and Calculus 1 & 2 topics.

Katherine's history concentration means she spends her days at Denison doing exactly what the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section demands — tracking how authors construct arguments across long passages and identifying the specific lines that support a claim. Her 1520 SAT confirms she knows the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and her comfort with both the writing-heavy and quantitative sections lets her pinpoint whether a student's weak spots are in grammar-in-context questions, passage citations, or the algebra that dominates the no-calculator math.

I am a graduate of Vanderbilt University class of 2016 majoring in Neuroscience. If you have any questions or inquiries about the college process, selecting a major, or Vanderbilt University, I am happy to answer your questions. Currently, I am looking to obtain a Masters degree and am applying to such programs. I tutor children on a weekly basis at my local church from ages of 8 to 14 on an assortment of subjects. I understand that there are different learning styles and I try to find the right approach for each different student.

I'm a rising senior at Brown University studying Modern Culture and Media and Literary Arts. I've worked as a reading tutor at the Cuyahoga County Public Library, taught comic book and screenwriting classes at Lake Erie Ink, coached Speech and Debate, and I currently work as a Writing Fellow at Brown, a role in which I offer students feedback regarding their academic writing. When it comes to tutoring, I'm most passionate about history, literature, and writing, but I'm also proficient in tutoring in a number of subjects, including standardized tests and high school math and latin. I really enjoy working with students, and I try to tailor my tutoring style to each student's individual needs.

Scoring a 1470 on the SAT means Peter already knows the testing landscape the PSAT draws from — the evidence-based reading passages, the command-of-evidence questions, and the no-calculator math traps that trip up even strong students. His English Education master's gives him a particular edge on the Writing and Language section, where he breaks down grammar rules and rhetorical analysis questions into repeatable decision steps. Rated 4.7 by students, he builds familiarity with the PSAT's specific format so test day feels routine, not stressful.

Sarah's biomedical sciences graduate work required parsing dense research papers and interpreting quantitative data daily — skills that map directly onto the PSAT's evidence-based reading passages and data-heavy math questions. Her 1530 SAT means she's already mastered the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and she teaches students to recognize recurring question types in the Writing and Language section so they can move through grammar-in-context problems with confidence. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a senior at Miami University. I am studying Early Childhood Education and Spanish. I also spent two years studying biology. I can't wait to work with you!

I'm going to fail, might as well not do it alone." I started working on homework with her and started to realize that I learned best when I taught others! Soon, I started "tutoring" many of my other pre-med friends in the same class and aced Chemistry! Since then, I've found a growing love for teaching others all sorts of subjects- especially all pre-medical sciences and the bible and it was my ticket into medical school! Still, medical school always hung on a string of doubt in my heart as I feel in love with teaching/ tutoring through teaching science and the bible so I eventually gave up medical school and started working at a school as a teaching aide with no idea if teaching was the path I should be on or not. Lo and behold near the end of the year, my school offered me a position and opportunity to become a certified teacher and here I am today working towards that and hoping to teach abroad someday!

I am a complete Harry Potter nerd. I also love music- Handbells, Choir, Piano, Band, Percussion, all that jazz.

I am currently a senior at Johns Hopkins studying Biomedical Engineering. I have a lot of experience tutoring in math, physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics. I have also proof-read essays for college applications and english classes as well. Outside of school I like to cook, play basketball, and listen to music.

I am enrolled in Calculus and Biochemistry this semester. In my spare time, I walk in the Arboretum, play video games and deal with my medical school applications.

I am very familiar with the preparation that goes into taking standardized tests and completing pre-college curriculum, and I try to teach these subject in ways that are applicable throughout a student's education down the road.

I am a Third Year Actuarial Science and Finance Student at the Ohio State University (Go Bucks!).

I am currently working towards a BS in Music Education at Case Western Reserve University. In the past I have worked with middle school orchestra students at an arts summer camp, where I was a volunteer Teacher's Assistant. During this camp I ran sectionals with small groups of students and sat in with the violinists to help individual students in large group rehearsals. I have some tutoring and organization experience by working with my high school's chapter of the California Scholarship Federation, where we offered free tutoring to other high school students. I am most passionate about tutoring algebra and pre-calculus, because I really enjoy the problem-solving aspects of math. I also tutor English and SAT prep. In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and practicing as many different instruments as I can get my hands on!

I am usually someone they ask. I love reading and writing. I am a big believer in the importance of critical thought and creative problem solving. I am excited to work with you.

I am a second year student majoring in biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University. Outside of Varsity Tutoring, I tutor high school students every week in Math, English, and standardized tests. Music has always been a passion in my life, and it excites me to help students to fall in love in music. One of my favorite experiences in tutoring was when I taught a dozen children how to play basic notes on the recorder in Papua New Guinea (tropical island in South East Asia).

I'm a rising fourth year at the University of Chicago, studying Biological Sciences.

I am a rising sophomore at Kenyon College, a small liberal arts school an hour out of Columbus, Ohio, majoring in Philosophy. It is difficult to identify a specialty of mine because I have worked with students from 1st grade through high school on topics ranging from elementary science to trigonometry test prep, but my foremost strength is the three sections of the SAT. I have roughly three years of experience tutoring and last year taught a test prep class. My approach to tutoring is to identify a students strengths and build upon them through frequent quizzes and reflective analysis. Additionally, having just gone through the college admissions process, I am privy to its length and complexity so can lend advice on anything, namely essays. I have plenty of experience writing and have been published in a local newspaper. While I think math is the easiest subject for me to teach, writing and writing skills are my favorite to teach because to see a writers progress is an extraordinary sight and, further, challenge.

I am a sophomore at The Ohio State University, majoring in Electrical Engineering. I love anything related to STEM, especially mathematics, and I would love to help students that are having difficulty and/or are struggling with Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-calculus, Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. I also believe I am a good test taker and can teach you strategies to improve your overall scores in either the ACT or SAT!

Scoring 1430 on the SAT means Beth already knows the testing patterns the PSAT mirrors — from evidence-based reading questions to the grammar and punctuation traps in the Writing and Language section. Her history background at Allegheny College sharpened the kind of close reading and argument analysis that drives scores up on the verbal side. She breaks each section into repeatable strategies so students build confidence before the real thing.
