I am an experienced tutor who is passionate about math and science education. I have a deep understanding of math and science. I recently graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, coursework in both the physical and natural sciences, and a GPA of 3.87. I also studied at an IB high school and graduated with the highest marks in my class.

I am not tutoring, I am studying to be an EMT. I also love backpacking and adventuring.
I am a certified teacher in English as a foreign language, certified to teach high school science abroad, and have developed my own independent program to teach elementary school children. I have tutored in all levels of algebra as well as geometry. I have 4 years of experience teaching biology, from AP/Honors level biology to 3rd grade level "Making Neuroscience Fun" programs.
I am a problem solver, and I love to help solve other's problems when they need it. I also love taking tests, and I hope that my excitement will translate to better scores for you!
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.
I'm a hiker, a reader, a giant nerd, and full of terrible jokes that will (shockingly) make tutoring fun.
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 graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry as well as MCD (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental) Biology while minoring in Chemistry in 2015. I love exploring all of the cool things that this world has to offer. By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge.
I am quite passionate about education, since I feel it is the key to any sort of satisfying life. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, and knowledge can give you comfort and help guide you through a world that is often frustrating, convoluted, and dissatisfying. I have channeled this passion into teaching astronomy, which I majored in. I also taught some history and religion topics as head of a secular club in college.
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.
I am currently an undergraduate studying Computer Science at the University of Kansas, and am also a member of the KU Honors Program. As a native of Colorado, I love the great outdoors and have done everything from skydiving to climbing a few "14ers". I place great value on education and see the importance in attaining a deep understanding of academic subjects. I have a casual teaching style and do my best to teach my students the value of what they are learning. I specialize in Math and ACT and SAT prep.
I am currently a Masters student in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. Previously, I had attended the Colorado School of Mines earning a bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics. I aspire to become a professor of Buddhist philosophy integrating contemplative studies with rigorous scientific and formal logics. Apart from scholastic endeavors, I spend much of my time wandering the Colorado mountains, practicing the piano, and studying the world around me.
I am currently a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder studying Spanish and Education! I tutored Spanish and math throughout high school, and I loved connecting with my students and watching them grow and succeed. I love learning new, fun teaching techniques and using them with my students. In my free time, I like skiing, hiking, reading, and playing Pokemon on my Nintendo 64. I am a camp counselor in the summer time, and I love connecting with my campers and seeing them mature from summer to summer. I am excited to work with you!
John's English and Drama training sharpened the close-reading and rhetorical analysis skills that the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section rewards — identifying how authors structure arguments, use tone shifts, and deploy evidence across paired passages. His 36 ACT and experience teaching both SAT Math and SAT Reading mean he tackles the full exam, including the algebra-heavy no-calculator section where students often stumble on multi-step word problems. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
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 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.
Anna's MD/MBA path through Northwestern's Feinberg and Kellogg programs means she's spent years toggling between dense scientific literature and business case analysis — the exact mix of reading speed and quantitative precision the PSAT demands across both its Evidence-Based Reading and math sections. Her 36 ACT and 1590 SAT confirm she's mastered standardized test architecture at the highest level, and she uses that experience to teach students how to spot the PSAT's recurring trap-answer patterns in command-of-evidence questions. Rated 5.0 by students.
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 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.
Elliot's neuroscience PhD means he's spent years doing exactly what the PSAT's reading passages demand — digesting complex arguments quickly, weighing evidence, and identifying the claims that actually hold up. That scientific rigor carries into the math sections too, where his quantitative reasoning and statistics background makes the data-analysis and Heart of Algebra questions feel routine. He scored a 1540 SAT and holds a 5.0 rating.
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 an incoming medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I graduated from Rice University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Medical Humanities and Business.
I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.
I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!
I am currently attending New York University where I am pursuing a degree in Finance and Statistics. I have previous experience tutoring individuals in math, a subject I have always excelled at academically. My knowledge and interest in mathematics, makes it easy for me to frame and deconstruct seemingly complicated concepts and theories in ways students will be able to understand and remember. Outside of academia I enjoy playing tennis, going to movies, and spending time with friends and family.
I am currently studying chemical engineering at the University of Michigan. I have always helped out my fellow students with schoolwork, and I have tutored in the National Honor Society for three years. My tutoring strengths include my abilities to stay calm, be patient, and offer different perspectives on the learning process. I do not just help my students learn the material, but I also teach them how to learn it. I tutor math and test prep courses. Outside of school and tutoring, I play the piano. I have played classical piano for 13 years and jazz piano for 7.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.
I'm a rising junior at Brown University studying biomedical engineering. I have lots of experience in middle school through college level instruction in STEM and SAT/ACT prep. My goal is to provide a fun and productive learning environment by only teaching subjects that I am passionate about.
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 member of the Brown Class of 2018, pursuing a bachelors degree in mathematics. I graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2014. (I am able to help anyone with the boarding school admissions process.) Outside of academia, I pursue my passions in dance, travel, volunteering, reading and art. My tutoring subjects are mathematics (from elementary school to college level) and standardized testing (SAT, SAT subject tests, PSAT, and SSAT). I have tutored mainly high school students in the New York State Regents exams and AP Calculus, although I also have experience with students in middle and elementary school. Since I have been through many school systems, including public, private, studying abroad, and boarding school, I have learned many different techniques and can attack a problem from various angles. Ultimately, my teaching style is full of tips and tricks to break down complicated topics into simple, more understandable ideas.
Years of writing and peer-editing rigorous philosophy and religion papers at Pomona gave Miranda an instinct for the PSAT's Writing and Language section — she spots rhetorical weaknesses and grammar-in-context errors the way she'd mark up an undergraduate thesis draft. Her 1560 SAT confirms she handles the full test architecture the PSAT mirrors, including the math sections where her calculus and algebra background keeps things comfortable. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a graduate from Georgetown University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics with a minor in Music. I'm currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Business Analytics at Carnegie Mellon University. I've been tutoring since I started high school, focusing on mathematics and writing. Throughout my college career I was employed both privately and by Georgetown University to tutor peers and high school students in the Washington, D.C. area. I worked with students taking classes in all levels of mathematics falling under Algebra, Calculus, Combinatorics, and Problem Solving.
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.
As a med student at Thomas Jefferson, Nishad reads dense scientific passages under time pressure every day — the same core skill the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section tests with unfamiliar social science and natural science passages. His 1580 SAT means he's already dominated the test the PSAT is built from, and his premed background keeps him sharp on the quantitative side, particularly the data-interpretation and Heart of Algebra questions that make up the bulk of the math sections.
I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. 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.
I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.
I am a recent college graduate currently pursuing a career in publishing in New York City. My interest in tutoring and the publishing industry stem from the same source: I want to help instill in others the same love of learning I have felt throughout my life. Whether it's getting lost in a good book or feeling the thrill of excitement at finally solving a difficult math problem, I feel that learning should be fun and viewed as a challenge, not a chore. Throughout my academic career, I have been a well-rounded student, excelling in math as well as language and literature. I am a notoriously good test-taker, a skill developed from solid study habits that I hope to pass on to future students. For me, tutoring is my way of giving back to my community and paying forward the help I've gotten from teachers, mentors, and fellow students throughout my life.
Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Rhea already had the PSAT mastered before she sat for the real thing — the question types, the pacing traps, and the specific grammar and evidence-based reading skills that National Merit semifinalist cutoffs demand. As a UChicago biology student, she brings sharp analytical reading to the passages and a methodical approach to the math sections that breaks down no-calculator problems into manageable steps. Rated 4.8 by her students, she builds test-day strategies that go well beyond content review.

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.
