Jude
BA Colorado School of Mines
5+ Years Tutoring

Jude's applied physics coursework at Colorado School of Mines means he lives in the quantitative reasoning the PSAT math sections demand — solving algebra and data-analysis problems without a calculator is just a Tuesday for him. But his 1590 SAT shows he's equally sharp on the evidence-based reading and writing side, where he teaches students to eliminate trap answers by identifying exactly what the passage supports versus what merely sounds plausible. Rated 4.9 by students.

4+ Years Tutoring

I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Master of Science in Animal Nutrition. I received my Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences from Cornell University. While I tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring math and feel that our school systems often fail students when it comes to math. I do not believe that some people simply "can't do math." I believe that some may need extra time and help, but everyone can do math. With patience and hard work, any student can learn. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish, which I have studied since I was in elementary. During undergrad, I even studied abroad in Barcelona and lived with a host family. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, TV/movies, and knitting.

Keith

5+ Years Tutoring

Political science at Williams meant Keith spent four years constructing tight, evidence-backed arguments — the exact skill the PSAT's Writing and Language section tests when it asks students to evaluate sentence placement, strengthen claims, and choose the most effective phrasing in context. His 1560 SAT shows he can execute across all sections under pressure, and his additional strength in math means he covers the algebra-heavy no-calculator questions with the same confidence he brings to passage analysis.

Alex

Chemical engineering at Washington and Lee drilled the kind of systematic problem-solving that makes the PSAT's no-calculator math section click — setting up equations from word problems, manipulating expressions without reaching for a graphing calculator, and catching algebraic traps before they cost points. Alex pairs that quantitative strength with sharp reading and writing skills honed through an anthropology double major, which means the evidence-based passages and grammar-in-context questions get the same rigorous attention. His 1590 SAT and 36 ACT confirm he's mastered the full test architecture the PSAT is built from.

I am a junior studying Writing for Screen and Television at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. For the past two spring semesters I worked as a CollegeSpring Mentor, tutoring Green Dot Charter high school juniors for the SAT and teaching them predatory skills for college. In addition to my experience tutoring for the SAT, as a screenwriting major I most enjoy teaching my favorite subject, English. I love showing students the power language endows upon them to communicate their ideas and beliefs with others. I believe every student deserves the chance to succeed and to try to capitalize on their strengths while encouraging them to improve in areas they may traditionally find challenging. Endowing a student with confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but also show improved confidence and happiness is the most rewarding part of my job.

I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.

An MIT math major with a 36 ACT and 1570 SAT, Enrico knows the test architecture the PSAT mirrors inside and out — but what sets him apart is how he teaches the no-calculator section, where his research-level comfort with algebraic manipulation turns problems that feel impossible without a calculator into straightforward two-step solves. He also coaches students on the reading and writing sections by treating each question as a logic puzzle with one defensible answer, an approach that cuts down on second-guessing.

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 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Students who identify weak areas—whether that's reading comprehension, math problem-solving, or writing mechanics—and target those specific skills typically improve 50-100+ points. The key is getting personalized instruction that addresses your gaps rather than generic test prep.

Timing is one of the biggest challenges PSAT takers face. In the Reading section, many students spend too much time on difficult passages; effective strategies include reading the question first, then scanning the passage. For Math, skipping hard problems initially and returning to them prevents you from running out of time on easier points. The Writing section requires quick grammar recognition. A tutor can help you practice pacing with actual PSAT timing constraints and develop a personalized rhythm that plays to your strengths.

Taking a full practice test under timed conditions is the best way to identify your weaknesses—this gives you realistic data about where you're losing points. After reviewing your results, look for patterns: Are you missing questions due to careless errors or conceptual gaps? Running out of time? Struggling with specific question types? Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who analyze your practice test results in detail and create a focused study plan around your specific challenges, whether that's dense reading passages, algebra concepts, or comma rules.

Most students benefit from taking a full practice test every 2-3 weeks while preparing for the PSAT. This frequency gives you enough time to learn new strategies and practice problem types between tests, while still providing regular benchmarks to track your progress. Early in your prep, you might take one practice test to establish a baseline, then focus on targeted skill-building. As test day approaches, increase to weekly practice tests to build stamina and refine your timing. A tutor can recommend a personalized testing schedule based on how much time you have to prepare.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty—not knowing what to expect or feeling unprepared for certain question types. The best antidote is familiarity: taking multiple practice tests under timed conditions, learning the exact format and instructions beforehand, and building confidence in your problem-solving strategies. Expert tutors can also teach specific techniques like deep breathing between sections, positive self-talk, and how to approach difficult questions without panicking. When you've practiced extensively with a tutor and know you're prepared, anxiety naturally decreases.

Not necessarily—it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. If you're equally weak in both sections, balanced preparation makes sense. But if Math is your weakness and Reading is strong, invest more time in Math fundamentals. The PSAT Reading section tests comprehension and inference skills that are harder to improve quickly, while Math skills are often more responsive to targeted practice. A tutor can analyze your baseline practice test scores and recommend how to allocate your study time for maximum point gains.

Look for a tutor who has strong PSAT-specific knowledge—understanding not just the content but the test's unique question formats, timing pressures, and strategy requirements. They should use actual PSAT practice materials and have experience helping students improve in your specific weak areas. It's also important that they can adapt their teaching style to your learning preferences and help you build confidence alongside skills. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in PSAT preparation and can create a customized study plan tailored to your goals and schedule.
