I am an experienced tutor who is passionate about math and science education. I have a deep understanding of math and science. I recently graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, coursework in both the physical and natural sciences, and a GPA of 3.87. I also studied at an IB high school and graduated with the highest marks in my class.

I am not tutoring, I am studying to be an EMT. I also love backpacking and adventuring.
I am a certified teacher in English as a foreign language, certified to teach high school science abroad, and have developed my own independent program to teach elementary school children. I have tutored in all levels of algebra as well as geometry. I have 4 years of experience teaching biology, from AP/Honors level biology to 3rd grade level "Making Neuroscience Fun" programs.
Jude's applied physics coursework at Colorado School of Mines means he lives in the quantitative reasoning the PSAT math sections demand — solving algebra and data-analysis problems without a calculator is just a Tuesday for him. But his 1590 SAT shows he's equally sharp on the evidence-based reading and writing side, where he teaches students to eliminate trap answers by identifying exactly what the passage supports versus what merely sounds plausible. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am a problem solver, and I love to help solve other's problems when they need it. I also love taking tests, and I hope that my excitement will translate to better scores for you!
I'm a hiker, a reader, a giant nerd, and full of terrible jokes that will (shockingly) make tutoring fun.
I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.
I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry as well as MCD (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental) Biology while minoring in Chemistry in 2015. I love exploring all of the cool things that this world has to offer. By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge.
I am quite passionate about education, since I feel it is the key to any sort of satisfying life. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, and knowledge can give you comfort and help guide you through a world that is often frustrating, convoluted, and dissatisfying. I have channeled this passion into teaching astronomy, which I majored in. I also taught some history and religion topics as head of a secular club in college.
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 currently a Masters student in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. Previously, I had attended the Colorado School of Mines earning a bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics. I aspire to become a professor of Buddhist philosophy integrating contemplative studies with rigorous scientific and formal logics. Apart from scholastic endeavors, I spend much of my time wandering the Colorado mountains, practicing the piano, and studying the world around me.
I am currently an undergraduate studying Computer Science at the University of Kansas, and am also a member of the KU Honors Program. As a native of Colorado, I love the great outdoors and have done everything from skydiving to climbing a few "14ers". I place great value on education and see the importance in attaining a deep understanding of academic subjects. I have a casual teaching style and do my best to teach my students the value of what they are learning. I specialize in Math and ACT and SAT prep.
I am currently a student at the University of Colorado at Boulder studying Spanish and Education! I tutored Spanish and math throughout high school, and I loved connecting with my students and watching them grow and succeed. I love learning new, fun teaching techniques and using them with my students. In my free time, I like skiing, hiking, reading, and playing Pokemon on my Nintendo 64. I am a camp counselor in the summer time, and I love connecting with my campers and seeing them mature from summer to summer. I am excited to work with you!
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.
I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.
I am currently studying chemical engineering at the University of Michigan. I have always helped out my fellow students with schoolwork, and I have tutored in the National Honor Society for three years. My tutoring strengths include my abilities to stay calm, be patient, and offer different perspectives on the learning process. I do not just help my students learn the material, but I also teach them how to learn it. I tutor math and test prep courses. Outside of school and tutoring, I play the piano. I have played classical piano for 13 years and jazz piano for 7.
I'm a college student attending the University of Michigan and I'm majoring in chemistry and computer science. I have two years of extensive experience tutoring high schoolers in chemistry and all subjects of the SAT and ACT. I can also say that I understand completely how difficult the process of test prep and high school chemistry can be because I recently survived the whole process myself having taken IB chem and the ACT/SAT in the last 1-2 years and studying and prepping extensively for them. That being said, I'm always super eager not just to tutor students in those subjects, but also to offer the best advice and guidance I can in tackling those challenges as a high schooler and as someone planning for college. I believe it's super important as a tutor not just to spoon-feed answers but to teach how to problem-solve, so I take care to solidify our understanding of the methods to approach a problem. Most of all, I try to be as flexible and communicative as possible.
I am no longer needed.
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!
Anna's MD/MBA path through Northwestern's Feinberg and Kellogg programs means she's spent years toggling between dense scientific literature and business case analysis — the exact mix of reading speed and quantitative precision the PSAT demands across both its Evidence-Based Reading and math sections. Her 36 ACT and 1590 SAT confirm she's mastered standardized test architecture at the highest level, and she uses that experience to teach students how to spot the PSAT's recurring trap-answer patterns in command-of-evidence questions. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Rhea already had the PSAT mastered before she sat for the real thing — the question types, the pacing traps, and the specific grammar and evidence-based reading skills that National Merit semifinalist cutoffs demand. As a UChicago biology student, she brings sharp analytical reading to the passages and a methodical approach to the math sections that breaks down no-calculator problems into manageable steps. Rated 4.8 by her students, she builds test-day strategies that go well beyond content review.
I am planning now to shift to a more educational career. Last year I worked at a small tutoring center, and I decided to branch out even more and work here.
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.
I am a graduate from Georgetown University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics with a minor in Music. I'm currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Business Analytics at Carnegie Mellon University. I've been tutoring since I started high school, focusing on mathematics and writing. Throughout my college career I was employed both privately and by Georgetown University to tutor peers and high school students in the Washington, D.C. area. I worked with students taking classes in all levels of mathematics falling under Algebra, Calculus, Combinatorics, and Problem Solving.
I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Students who identify weak areas—whether that's reading comprehension, math problem-solving, or writing mechanics—and target those specific skills typically improve 50-100+ points. The key is getting personalized instruction that addresses your gaps rather than generic test prep.
Timing is one of the biggest challenges PSAT takers face. In the Reading section, many students spend too much time on difficult passages; effective strategies include reading the question first, then scanning the passage. For Math, skipping hard problems initially and returning to them prevents you from running out of time on easier points. The Writing section requires quick grammar recognition. A tutor can help you practice pacing with actual PSAT timing constraints and develop a personalized rhythm that plays to your strengths.
Taking a full practice test under timed conditions is the best way to identify your weaknesses—this gives you realistic data about where you're losing points. After reviewing your results, look for patterns: Are you missing questions due to careless errors or conceptual gaps? Running out of time? Struggling with specific question types? Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who analyze your practice test results in detail and create a focused study plan around your specific challenges, whether that's dense reading passages, algebra concepts, or comma rules.
Most students benefit from taking a full practice test every 2-3 weeks while preparing for the PSAT. This frequency gives you enough time to learn new strategies and practice problem types between tests, while still providing regular benchmarks to track your progress. Early in your prep, you might take one practice test to establish a baseline, then focus on targeted skill-building. As test day approaches, increase to weekly practice tests to build stamina and refine your timing. A tutor can recommend a personalized testing schedule based on how much time you have to prepare.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty—not knowing what to expect or feeling unprepared for certain question types. The best antidote is familiarity: taking multiple practice tests under timed conditions, learning the exact format and instructions beforehand, and building confidence in your problem-solving strategies. Expert tutors can also teach specific techniques like deep breathing between sections, positive self-talk, and how to approach difficult questions without panicking. When you've practiced extensively with a tutor and know you're prepared, anxiety naturally decreases.
Not necessarily—it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. If you're equally weak in both sections, balanced preparation makes sense. But if Math is your weakness and Reading is strong, invest more time in Math fundamentals. The PSAT Reading section tests comprehension and inference skills that are harder to improve quickly, while Math skills are often more responsive to targeted practice. A tutor can analyze your baseline practice test scores and recommend how to allocate your study time for maximum point gains.
Look for a tutor who has strong PSAT-specific knowledge—understanding not just the content but the test's unique question formats, timing pressures, and strategy requirements. They should use actual PSAT practice materials and have experience helping students improve in your specific weak areas. It's also important that they can adapt their teaching style to your learning preferences and help you build confidence alongside skills. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in PSAT preparation and can create a customized study plan tailored to your goals and schedule.
