Kiersten
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Sarah
BA New York University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a sophomore at NYU studying English and Journalism. However, I can help with almost any subject, including math and science, as I took advanced-level courses and 13 AP tests in high school. I have years of experience tutoring students of all ages, from elementary school through high school. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the violin, reading, and writing. I live in New York City during the academic year (September - May) and would be happy to tutor in-person (depending on the travel distance) then. Of course, if you/your child is more comfortable with online tutoring, I can tutor online year-round. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope to work with you/your child soon!

Alexander
MS The Juilliard School • BA La Sierra University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, and I completed earlier degrees at the Juilliard School in New York and at La Sierra University in Riverside, CA. At La Sierra as an undergrad, I received dual degrees with honors in violin and mathematics, both of which have led me to teaching opportunities. In tutoring either field, I enjoy the constant adaptation of finding an approach suited to each student that will help them achieve their goals. Both mathematics and music are often considered to be innate talents, but being able to assist students of any background in gaining proficiency is an exciting opportunity for me and a fulfilling one when it happens. Beyond mathematics, I also welcome tutoring opportunities in Chemistry and especially Physics, with it's mathematical foundation.

Ema
BA Harvard University
10+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate of Harvard University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with an emphasis on screenwriting. Although I love literature and writing, I am most passionate about tutoring math. I have five years of experience as a math tutor, during which time I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I find joy in teaching/elucidating Shakespeare to high-school students. As a classically trained actor, I find it fun to tackle Shakespeare’s dense texts from a performance and character-driven perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy vegan baking and roller-blading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and study intensity, but most students see meaningful gains with personalized instruction focused on their weak areas. Many students improve 5-10 points or more by working with a tutor to master test-taking strategies, strengthen logical reasoning skills, and develop efficient pacing for Reading Comprehension. The key is identifying which sections are holding you back and getting targeted practice with expert feedback.

Your first session typically involves a diagnostic assessment to understand your current strengths and weaknesses across the three LSAT sections: Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games). Varsity Tutors connects you with a tutor who will review your practice test results, discuss your target law school and score goals, and create a personalized study plan tailored to your needs and timeline.

Logic Games (Analytical Reasoning) intimidates many test-takers, but it's highly learnable with structured practice. A tutor can teach you the fundamental diagramming techniques, help you recognize game types quickly, and build your speed through repeated practice with feedback. Most students find that once they understand the underlying logic and practice consistently, this section becomes one of their strongest areas.

Reading Comprehension challenges often stem from either reading too slowly, missing the author's main point, or struggling with specific question types. A tutor teaches active reading strategies, helps you identify what information matters most, and builds your speed through targeted practice. They'll also help you distinguish between different question formats and develop a consistent approach to each type.

Most LSAT prep experts recommend taking 20-40 full-length practice tests over your study period to build stamina, refine timing, and identify patterns in your mistakes. Your tutor will help you space these tests strategically throughout your prep timeline and use each one as a learning tool—reviewing every question you missed to understand why and prevent similar errors. Quality review matters more than quantity, so your tutor's guidance on analyzing your performance is crucial.

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unfamiliar with the test format. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence through mastery—you'll take dozens of practice tests under timed conditions, so the real test feels familiar and manageable. Your tutor can also teach you stress-management techniques, help you develop a pre-test routine, and discuss pacing strategies that keep you calm when you encounter a difficult section.

Most students benefit from 2-4 months of consistent LSAT prep, though your ideal timeline depends on your starting score, target score, and how much time you can dedicate weekly. A tutor helps you create a realistic schedule, typically involving 15-25 hours per week of combined tutoring and independent practice. Your tutor will adjust the pace based on your progress and ensure you're ready before your test date.

Logical Reasoning success requires understanding argument structure and learning to identify common reasoning patterns. A tutor teaches you to quickly break down premises and conclusions, spot logical fallacies, and recognize question types like strengthen/weaken, assumption, and parallel reasoning. With consistent practice and feedback on your reasoning process, you'll develop the skill to work through these questions more efficiently and accurately.
