Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Master of Science in Animal Nutrition. I received my Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences from Cornell University. While I tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring math and feel that our school systems often fail students when it comes to math. I do not believe that some people simply "can't do math." I believe that some may need extra time and help, but everyone can do math. With patience and hard work, any student can learn. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish, which I have studied since I was in elementary. During undergrad, I even studied abroad in Barcelona and lived with a host family. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, TV/movies, and knitting.

I am also a Registered & Licensed Nutritionist currently based in Memphis, TN.
I am currently working towards my MD/PhD degree at Michigan Medical School.
I'm a computer and social scientist. I hold graduate degrees from Columbia University and the University of Chicago and earned my bachelor's at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to teaching at the undergraduate level, I research ways the natural sciences can be used to advance the study of anthropology and history. I am currently completing my PhD.
I am a student at Cornell University studying Chemical Engineering and Computer Science. I'm living in Tarrytown right now and can help your son or daughter in math, science, or SAT/ACT prep! Over the past 5 years, I've accumulated many hours of tutoring experience. Some of the subjects I tutor include:
I am a senior physics major at Yale, and I have been tutoring non-stop since high school. I have three years of formal, test-prep tutoring experience with top companies in the New York City area. I absolutely love to help people out -- the most important thing I can do as a tutor is to find a new way of explaining something that just makes it click for you!
I am a graduate of Cornell University and received a Bachelor of Arts in Music. Currently, I am working as an Assistant Director at a preparatory school managing and teaching students simultaneously. In the recent years at the school, I have been focusing more on the Reading portions of standardized tests but have at times assisted students in the math and science portions as well usually one-on-one. I strongly believe that every students has their own style of learning and must learn at their own pace. Although, sometimes giving them too much leeway may not always be the best solution, I am there to also provide encouragement and challenge to make the learning process enjoyable and beneficial. Apart from work, I do enjoy reading, jogging, exploring New York City, and playing the violin during my spare time.
I am primarily an SAT and writing tutor with two years of experience and over 60 former students. I have spent hundreds of hours familiarizing myself with dozens of real SAT tests and SAT format-specific strategies. While a tutor, and later general manager, at a boutique university admissions consulting company in Cairo Egypt, I applied my teaching experience to a leading role developing SAT curricula for a variety of skill levels.
I am a knowledgeable, passionate, and compassionate tutor. My teaching experience ranges from high school instruction, private tutoring, coaching, preaching, and leading high school youth groups. I have tutored and/or taught in algebra 1, geometry, American literature, world literature, middle school math, middle school science, middle school English/reading, American history, world history, essay composition, SAT prep, SSAT/ISEE prep, SHSAT prep, and GRE prep. I always try to discern what the individual needs and learning styles of my students are and then try to meet them where they are. I believe that there is a great student inside everyone, and it takes the right approach to make that great student manifest.
I am an undergraduate student studying Economics and Public Policy at the University of Chicago. I attended the Horace Mann School in New York City. I love teaching and working with students because I feel that there is nothing more rewarding than being able to provide the extra push that students might need to be successful. I am passionate about helping students learn and making sure they are having fun doing so. I'm also happy to talk about anything a student might want to talk about, academically, extracurricularly, or otherwise.
I'm a recent graduate of Northwestern University, a native New Yorker, and a recent addition to Varsity Tutors. I grew up in Westchester County, where I volunteered as an assistant creative writing teacher in high school. After high school, I moved to Evanston, Illinois for school. I studied a wide variety of subjects in college: from Medieval Literature to Buddhist Psychology. I moved back to New York after graduating to pursue a career in the arts. I currently work as a reader for the literary director of an Off-Broadway theatre company.
I am a great tutor because not only are my fundamental verbal and quantitative skills strong, but I am able to communicate my reasoning and problem solving skills quickly and clearly.
I'm a big Boston Celtics fan and I speak three languages. I can get you the test results you need to succeed because I went through the exams myself and performed well. The first time I took the SAT I actually wasn't satisfied with my score, so I spent 2 months working hard to get my score to where I wanted it to be. The second time I took the exam I saw a 200-point increase. Previously, I have had experience teaching the SSAT and the SAT. The student I tutored in SSAT successfully passed the exam is now attending a private high school abroad. With VarsityTutor's online learning platform, I will be able to transfer knowledge in a visual, easy-to-understand manner. I look forward to being your tutor and helping you reach your academic goals. :)
I'm currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Temple University. I love working with children and young adults, and I'm thrilled to be spending some time tutoring this spring.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) is a standardized test used by independent and private schools to evaluate students applying for admission. Students in Denver take the ISEE when applying to selective private schools in the area, which use the exam to assess reading comprehension, mathematics, vocabulary, and reasoning skills. The test helps schools understand how students perform on standardized measures relative to other applicants, making strong ISEE performance an important part of the admission process.
ISEE preparation focuses specifically on test-taking strategies, question formats, and time management—skills that classroom instruction typically doesn't emphasize. Personalized tutoring for the ISEE allows tutors to identify a student's specific weak areas (whether that's reading inference, word problems, or quantitative reasoning) and target instruction to those gaps. With Denver's 14.4:1 average student-teacher ratio, classroom teachers often don't have time for this kind of individualized diagnostic work, making focused ISEE tutoring particularly valuable for students aiming to perform competitively.
The ISEE has four levels: Primary (grades 2-3), Lower (grades 4-5), Middle (grades 6-7), and Upper (grades 8-11). Your child's level is determined by the grade they'll be entering at the independent school, not their current grade. For example, a current 6th grader applying to 7th grade would take the Middle Level ISEE. When connecting with a tutor, it's important to clarify which level your child needs to prepare for so instruction is properly aligned to the content and difficulty.
Many Denver students struggle with reading comprehension passages that require inference and attention to detail, as well as math word problems that require translating English to equations. The ISEE's quantitative reasoning section is also particularly challenging for students unfamiliar with analogies and logic puzzles. Additionally, time management is a frequent issue—students often know the content but run out of time before completing sections. Personalized tutoring can address these specific obstacles through targeted practice and strategy refinement tailored to each student's needs.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of preparation, starting with a diagnostic assessment to identify strengths and weaknesses. Students typically work with a tutor for 1-2 sessions per week, supplemented by practice between sessions. The exact timeline depends on your child's starting level and target score, as well as how much independent practice they're able to complete. Varsity Tutors can help create a personalized prep timeline when you connect with a tutor who can evaluate your child's specific needs.
Denver has several selective independent schools that use the ISEE for admissions, including prominent institutions across the metro area. If you're looking for a list of schools that accept the ISEE in Denver, your first step is to check with your target schools directly or consult the ISEE's school finder tool. Once you know which schools you're applying to and their ISEE requirements, a tutor can tailor preparation to align with those specific schools' expectations and competitiveness levels.
Yes. Research on personalized 1-on-1 instruction shows significant gains when tutoring targets specific skill gaps rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. For the ISEE, this means a tutor can focus intensively on your child's weakest areas—whether that's geometry, reading inference, or pacing—rather than spending time on concepts they already understand. Many students see measurable score improvements of 5-15 percentile points when working with an experienced ISEE tutor over an 8-12 week period, particularly when they're committed to practice outside of tutoring sessions as well.
