I'm a Chemical Engineering major at the University of Texas at Austin with a strong passion for teaching. I enjoy helping students in biology, algebra, and chemistry, focusing on building meaningful relationships that make learning engaging and approachable. Teaching not only strengthens my own understanding but also allows me to see the impact of confidence and curiosity in others. Outside of academics, I love staying active through hiking and playing sports like basketball. I also enjoy exploring new food spots, which gives me a chance to connect with different cultures and experiences.
I am currently a junior at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, complemented by minors in Pre-Professional Health Sciences and Spanish for the Health Professions. With five years of tutoring experience, I specialize in high school chemistry, math, and writing, however I am willing to tutor in a wide variety of subjects. My approach to tutoring is centered on fostering confidence and understanding in my students. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their struggles, as I guide them through concepts using tailored questions and varied explanations. This method allows me to identify their needs and adapt my teaching accordingly. My background in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, where I excelled in subjects such as HL Chemistry and HL Language and Literature, fuels my passion for the subject, and I enjoy helping students navigate challenging topics.
I am a freshman undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University. I am majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minoring in Spanish on the pre-med track! I have been a tutor for all 4 years of high school. I have helped students with mathematics, ranging from middle school to college level courses, as well as intermediate Spanish. I have also worked at Kumon for the past 3 years and have experiences in teaching English, grammar, and reading for all high-school level courses. While I am confident in my abilities to help students in science (biology and chemistry!), I am most passionate about helping students in mathematics, whether that is with the SAT, ACT, AP, and excel at reviewing college admission essays. I am a firm believer in creating an organized and adaptive tutoring program, allowing students to practice with questions that would challenge them in beneficial ways.
I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.
I am a new graduate of Pomona College, in Claremont, CA, where I studied Religion and Philosophy. While there, I wrote many papers of a wide variety, working on strong arguments, organization, and phrasing. I peer edited as well as volunteering with groups that mentored high school students, focusing on college admissions work, continuing and expanding my experiences from high school of tutoring for standardized testing. Additionally, I taught beginning violin to younger children.
I am a first year medical student at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. I have been a private tutor in the past in subjects such as math, biology, chemistry, and the SATs and every single one of my more than twenty students have shown significant improvement. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching, and your needs and preferences as the learner will always be paramount. I hope to help every one of my students reach every bit of their potential, and along the way, to utterly shatter any self-induced limitations that have been placed upon what they can accomplish.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics and Economics from Johns Hopkins University and a Master's degree in Biostatistics from Boston University. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in both quantitative reasoning and analytical thinking, which I bring into every tutoring session. I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their abilities and enjoy guiding them through challenging material by breaking down complex concepts into clear, understandable steps. With over five years of tutoring and teaching experience, I've worked with students across a wide range of subjects, including middle school math, Algebra I & II, Geometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, and college-level courses like Calculus IIII, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Statistics. I also specialize in standardized test preparation, offering targeted support for the SAT, ACT, and GRE math sections. Beyond math, I tutor economics at both introductory and advanced levels, including Introductory Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Microeconomic and Macroeconomic Theory, Monetary Analysis, and similar courses. I enjoy helping students connect theoretical models with real-world applications and develop a strong understanding of core economic principles. My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and highly personalized. I focus on fostering deep understanding and critical thinking, tailoring my approach to fit each student's individual learning style and academic goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, staying active, and exploring emerging technologies.
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
No subject, no test, and no question is bigger than you. By the end of our time together, I hope to make you see that my only job was really just to make you see--you really had it in you, all along. If there's any subject in which you truly believe you suck--that you're just the worst, and that nothing will ever help you improve--then don't you dare give up until you've given me a call! I'm a writer, but I love numbers, and nothing makes me more proud than helping students overcome their biggest challenges. I've scored near-perfect on both standardized tests, and I've been helping students understand how to improve their own scores ever since. I'm also capable of tutoring advanced Music Theory topics, as well as Spanish and Mandarin Chinese
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.
Hi! My name is Harry, and I'm a sophomore at the Albert Dorman Honors College at NJIT studying for a BA/MD in Biology on the accelerated program with NJMS. I've been interested in the sciences since I was younger, through which I have enjoyed engaging in my coursework, research, and fellow peers. What I particularly enjoy is the camaraderie that STEM brings about with problem solving with you and your peers, which I hope to foster through tutoring. At NJIT, I have taken challenging courses like General and Organic Chemistry I & II, Physics I & II, and a series of biology courses such as neuroscience, mammalian physiology, and cellular and molecular biology. These experiences not only provided me with a strong academic background but also with an understanding of how to deconstruct difficult material in a way that makes it less intimidating. In teaching, I believe building confidence is as important as mastery of content. I try to meet students where they're atwhether that's going step by step through a practice problem, connecting big-picture ideas, or offering suggestions on how to study more effectively. I recall how overwhelming some of these concepts can be because I've been there too. I try to make learning accessible and enjoyable, and also help students gain the level of mastery they're looking for. Whether you're preparing for an exam or just want extra assistance in biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, or test prep, I'd love to help you and guide you toward your goal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with your tutor. Most students who work with a tutor see meaningful gains by focusing on their specific weak areas—whether that's reading comprehension, math problem-solving, or test-taking strategy. The key is identifying which sections are holding you back and addressing those systematically through targeted practice and feedback. Realistic expectations matter: tutoring works best when you're committed to regular sessions and practice between meetings.
Pacing is one of the most common obstacles. The SHSAT requires you to work through challenging questions quickly, and many students either rush through problems and make careless mistakes or spend too long on difficult questions and run out of time. A tutor can help you develop strategies for different question types, teach you when to skip and come back later, and build the stamina to maintain focus throughout the full test. Practice with timed sections is essential for overcoming this challenge.
Consistency matters more than cramming. Most students benefit from 2-3 tutoring sessions per week over several months, paired with independent practice between sessions. Start by taking a full practice test to identify your specific weak areas, then focus your study time on those sections. As test day approaches, increase the proportion of timed practice tests to build confidence and refine your pacing strategy. Your tutor can help you create a personalized timeline based on where you're starting and when you're taking the test.
Familiarity reduces anxiety. The more you practice with actual SHSAT question formats and take full-length timed tests, the more comfortable and confident you'll feel on test day. A tutor can help you understand the logic behind questions so you approach them strategically rather than feeling overwhelmed, and they can provide real-time feedback on practice tests to show you're making progress. Building a foundation of solid test-taking strategies—like process of elimination, checking your work, and managing time—also builds confidence.
An effective SHSAT tutor knows the test format inside and out, understands the specific skills being tested in each section, and can diagnose exactly where you're struggling. They teach you not just how to solve problems, but why certain answers are traps and how to avoid them. They're also skilled at teaching test-taking strategy alongside content—helping you manage time, choose when to skip questions, and approach unfamiliar question types with confidence. Most importantly, they adapt their teaching to your learning style and adjust the pace based on what you actually need.
That depends on your individual strengths and weaknesses. Both sections carry equal weight, so ideally you'd develop strong skills in both. Many students find reading comprehension more challenging because it requires both speed and deep understanding of complex passages, while others struggle with the logic and multi-step reasoning in the math section. Take a diagnostic practice test early on to see where you stand, then work with a tutor to prioritize your study time on whichever section needs the most work. You should still maintain practice in your stronger section so you don't lose ground.
Most students benefit from taking at least 5-8 full-length practice tests under timed conditions throughout their study period. Early practice tests help you understand the format and identify weak areas, while later tests help you track progress and build stamina. More important than the number of tests is what you do with them—review every question you missed or struggled with, understand why the correct answer is right, and identify patterns in your mistakes. Your tutor can guide you on when to take practice tests and how to analyze them effectively.
