Radha
Algebra Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am a student in the Schreyer Honors College at Pennsylvania State University. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Statistics and minoring in Biology. have spent over 5 years learning and speaking French. I love to travel and have been over to 20 different countries (two of which being France and Morocco, both prominent French-speaking countries). However, I am most passionate about STEM courses such as Biology, Chemistry, and basic Calculus. I was actually a part of two organizations in the last couple of years (SciGirls and Schreyer for Women) that support female involvement in these subjects. I am also interested in helping students prepare for standardized tests such as AP exams and the SAT. I know I was very stressed as a student when preparing for these exams, so I want to help current students who are in the exact same situation.

Madeline
Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +7 Subjects
Originally from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, I graduated from Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service in 2018 with a degree in International Economics. I have a fervent passion for education which is reflected through my six years of one-on-one tutoring throughout university and continued after graduation. I currently live in Orlando, FL and work both as a full-time parent as well as a part-time online English language tutor to students in China, and I plan to matriculate at law school in Fall 2022. When it comes to the LSAT, I understand firsthand the amount of commitment and mental stamina that goes into preparation for this test and am eager to guide others throughout their LSAT journeys with strategies focused on consistency and accountability. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all path to a high LSAT score. My role as your LSAT tutor is to remove the guesswork from your prep and to take into account your unique goals, schedule, and study habits to create an individualized study plan tailored to your specific needs. Additionally, our personalized tutoring sessions will allow us to efficiently target weaknesses and conquer challenging concepts and questions.
James
Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects
I have always been fascinated with science since I was a kid. I always performed really well in the science fairs in elementary school and middle school. When I went to high school I took an interest in physics. I eventually went to college to get a degree in physics. This was when I published my first paper for the European Journal of Physics. I was also fascinated with programming and the way the internet works today. I began to learn the programming language python. Then I learned ruby which was easier. I then set out to learning jQuery, Javascript, Java and HTML&CSS. Now I am fascinated with the connections between quantum physics and the arrival of the world wide web we have today. I am practicing the art of launching a website and plan on learning machine learning someday after I learn C C++ and C#! quantum physics and programming are challenges but that is only because they are adventures. No adventure was ever easy but they are always worth it!
Kristina
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +31 Subjects
I received my Bachelors of Arts in Contemporary Studies and Leadership at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2011. I am currently working towards my alternative teacher’s certification for the state of Texas through Texas Teachers ACP. I expect to be certified as a grade 4-8 generalist by the end of summer 2014 but will continue to work towards upper level elective certifications including history, language arts, and German.During my college years, I volunteered in multiple student centered capacities including spring break arts and crafts programs. I also trained first year college journalism students for the school paper. Now I volunteer at several area elementary schools as I work towards my teaching certificate.While I can tutor a multitude of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are German – all levels, Social Studies/History, and English Language Arts. I took German throughout my school years and had the opportunity to live in Germany for four years. I love studying the various similarities between German and English as well as the fact that Germans have a word for everything! I like to consider myself a pretty big history buff – I love learning about ancient cultures and their effect on our very own culture. Finally, I have always had a knack for reading and writing … my years working in the newspaper field only made me love the English language more.My teaching style is heavily influenced by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences. I like to tailor my lessons to the learning style of the student, especially when dealing with building block knowledge. I also believe that learning should be interactive and exploratory allowing the student to continuously build on existing knowledge.Outside of academia, I love arts and crafts. I knit, sew, and work with clay whenever I have some spare time. I also garden. I love cooking and baking.

I received minors in Classical Studies and Wildlife.I am now working towards my master's in education, and I am substitute teaching in Detroit.

Emily
Algebra Tutor • +48 Subjects
I'm an international Affairs major at Princeton University minoring in Creative Writing and Chinese. I graduated from The Brearley School in New York City in 2011. At Princeton, I work in the writing center tutoring fellow students in critical thinking, analysis, and academic writing. I also have a good deal of experience helping elementary and junior high students with math, reading, and French. Still, writing remains my favorite subject to tutor, largely because of the discussions that accompany it. Outside of the classroom, I'm a varsity cross-country and track runner; an enthusiastic fan of the New Yorker fiction podcast; and am fascinated by military history and policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
The RD exam covers a broad range of nutrition science, and most candidates find certain areas more difficult than others. Medical nutrition therapy, biochemistry, and calculations tend to be frequent stumbling blocks because they require both conceptual understanding and practical application. Additionally, staying current with evidence-based practice guidelines and interpreting research studies can be challenging since the exam emphasizes real-world, research-supported recommendations. A personalized tutoring approach helps identify your specific weak spots and builds targeted strategies for mastery.
Group study and classroom learning follow a one-size-fits-all pace, which means you might move too quickly through concepts you haven't mastered or spend time on topics you already know well. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to assess your current knowledge, identify gaps, and focus exclusively on areas where you need support. Tutors can also tailor explanations to your learning style—whether you learn best through visual aids, practice problems, or detailed discussions—and adjust pacing based on your progress, making study time far more efficient.
The best RD exam tutors combine current nutrition credentials, exam expertise, and strong teaching skills. Look for tutors who are registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) with recent exam-passing experience and familiarity with the current Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) content outline and question formats. They should also demonstrate the ability to explain complex concepts clearly, ask diagnostic questions to understand your learning needs, and provide structured feedback on practice exams. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who meet these standards and specialize in RD exam preparation.
Most candidates benefit from 3-6 months of structured preparation, though timing depends on your background, exam readiness, and how intensively you study. Someone with a strong foundation in nutrition science may need less time, while those returning to studying after a gap or addressing specific weak areas might benefit from longer preparation. Working with a tutor can accelerate progress by helping you study more strategically—focusing on high-yield topics, practicing exam-style questions, and building confidence in areas of weakness—rather than reviewing material broadly.
Personalized tutoring focuses on measurable progress, including improving scores on practice exams, mastering difficult content areas, and building test-taking confidence and speed. Many students see noticeable improvement in their ability to apply nutrition knowledge to case studies and clinical scenarios—a key component of the RD exam. Beyond the exam itself, this focused preparation deepens your understanding of evidence-based practice, positioning you for success not just on test day but in your career as a registered dietitian.
The RD exam tests knowledge across multiple domains—food and nutrition, medical nutrition therapy, business management, and research—which can feel overwhelming without a strategic approach. A tutor helps you develop a study roadmap that breaks content into manageable chunks, prioritizes high-yield topics based on exam weight, and uses spaced repetition and practice testing to strengthen retention. This structured approach prevents cramming, builds confidence incrementally, and ensures you're not just memorizing facts but developing the clinical reasoning skills the exam assesses.
Yes—the RD exam is a computer-based test with multiple-choice questions and case-based questions that require applying nutrition knowledge to real patient scenarios. Familiarity with the CDR's official practice exam and question formats is essential, as is understanding how to manage time during the exam. Expert tutors are familiar with these specific formats and can help you practice with authentic exam-style questions, develop time-management strategies, and learn how to approach complex case studies systematically. This targeted practice significantly improves both accuracy and confidence on exam day.
