Kate
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +53 Subjects
I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
Ethan
AP Statistics Tutor • +66 Subjects
I am not teaching or grading papers, I can usually be found playing some brass instrument or another, umpiring baseball, trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, or spending far too much time on Netflix.
Suzanne
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.

I'm a junior in chemical engineering at ASU Barrett and I specialize in math and physics tutoring. If you need help with any of your math subjects or have trouble with physics and chemistry I'm the one to call. I love working with students and each and everybody's success is my top priority.

Elena
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
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.

I'm Anna! I'm currently a student in the MD/MBA program between Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the Kellogg School of Management, and graduated from Northwestern University as part of the Honors Program in Medical Education. I attended the Bergen County Academies in New Jersey, a selective, application-based magnet school, for high school.
Anya
Middle School Math Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a graduate of the MA Fashion Studies program at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, having previously studied linguistics and foreign languages (concentrating in Russian and French) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and at McGill University in Montreal. I currently serve as adjunct faculty in the Art and Design History and Theory department at Parsons, where I specialize in courses which combine numerous disciplines within the humanities, such as a course about the relationship between fashion and language and a graduate seminar about writing for fashion publications. I have also led elementary summer art camp workshops in my hometown of Los Alamos, New Mexico. My teaching methods, which are interactive, engaging, and tailored to a range of learning styles, have consistently been described by my students as motivational and encouraging. I tutor a wide range of subjects, from Middle School Math to PSAT and SAT test preparation, but I am most passionate about Critical Reading and Writing and Essay Editing. These are areas in which my students make remarkable progress in short periods of time and also find great pleasure in relating the themes of their writing to their own outside interests and passions. I also enjoy helping students prepare to take standardized tests by addressing, in an understanding and accommodating way, the common anxieties and stresses that can accompany test-taking. Outside of school and tutoring, I enjoy traveling, reading, visiting museums, cooking, and snowboarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study timeline, but most students see meaningful gains with focused preparation. Many students improve by 100-200 points or more over 2-3 months of consistent work. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's reading comprehension, quantitative reasoning, or verbal skills—and targeting those with targeted practice. A tutor can help you prioritize what to study and track your progress with practice tests.
Time management is crucial since you have limited minutes for each section. A smart approach is to quickly scan easier questions first, answer those, then return to harder ones—don't get stuck on a single question. Many students benefit from knowing which sections consume the most time for them (reading often takes longer than quantitative for some students). Tutors can help you practice pacing with timed practice tests, develop a personalized strategy for your strengths, and build speed through repeated practice with similar question types.
Reading comprehension challenges students because it requires both quick reading and careful attention to detail—you need to understand main ideas while catching specific facts. Many students rush through passages or forget to reference the text when answering questions. Effective strategies include: actively annotating passages, identifying the author's purpose, and practicing with passages at your level. Tutors can teach you to spot common question types (main idea vs. detail vs. inference) and help you develop a reading system that works for your pace and comprehension style.
The verbal section tests both vocabulary knowledge and logical thinking through analogies and synonyms. Rather than memorizing random word lists, successful students focus on understanding word relationships and learning vocabulary in context. For analogies, identify the relationship between the first pair of words, then find the pair with the same relationship. Building vocabulary steadily over weeks—through reading, flashcards, and contextual learning—is more effective than cramming. Tutors can help you focus on medium-difficulty words most likely to appear, teach you analogies strategies, and create a personalized study plan that fits your learning style.
A solid practice test schedule typically involves taking 1-2 full practice tests per week during active prep, starting 2-3 months before test day. Early on, focus on understanding question types and building foundational skills—practice tests help identify weak areas. Mid-prep, increase frequency and time your sections to build stamina and speed. In the final weeks, simulate real test conditions (timed, quiet environment). Between full tests, practice individual sections or question types to target specific challenges. Your tutor can recommend a customized schedule based on your starting level and test date.
Test anxiety is common, and confidence grows through preparation and familiarity. The more you practice with real-format questions and timed tests, the more predictable the test becomes—which naturally reduces anxiety. Helpful strategies include: practicing relaxation techniques, reviewing what you've learned to remind yourself of progress, arriving early to the test center, and developing a positive self-talk routine. Tutors help build genuine confidence by working through challenging questions until you understand them, celebrating small wins, and creating a study plan that feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
Quantitative reasoning challenges arise when students rush through questions or misread what's being asked—a common mistake on timed tests. Word problems require careful reading to identify what you're solving for, and careless errors can cost points even when you know the math. Effective approaches include: underlining key information in word problems, double-checking that your answer makes sense, and knowing when to skip a hard problem and return to it. Tutors can help you develop a personal error-tracking system to identify your patterns (Do you misread? Rush computation? Forget formulas?), then target those specific habits with focused practice.
