Emily

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have! Hobbies: reading, writing, books, traveling, music, art, travel

Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

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.
