10+ Years Tutoring

I'm drawn to those topics myself, they are the things I am most passionate about, and therefore the things I love to teach and the subjects in which I love to share what knowledge I have. I believe enthusiasm goes a long way, and that some of my best teachers have been the ones who loved their subjects the most.

BA University of California-San Diego
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of University of California, San Diego. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on International Relations, and a minor in Philosophy. Since graduation, I've been interning at a policy think-tank in Washington, D.C. I really enjoy tutoring a broad range of subjectsfrom math to test prep to writingbecause it keeps me intellectually active and on my toes. I really like to tutor by leading my partner through an analysis of his/her thought process in problem-solving; I've found it's a really effective way to break bad mental habits and create new, good ones.

Quinn
BA Howard University
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a proponent for the social sciences, it was important that I compliment this understanding with a major in the humanities. I decided to double major in Philosophy and Political Science, giving myself the breadth required to formally contemplate life and society. I needed philosophy to attain a grasp of personhood. This would allow me to reflect more deeply on the individual within structures that serve to hinder or enhance their life experience. In classes, I found myself pulling philosophical concepts and using them to analyze working political ideologies' efficacy in society.

BA Columbia University in the City of New York
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.

Violet
BA Brown University (transferring from the University of St Andrews)
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a member of the Brown Class of 2018, pursuing a bachelors degree in mathematics. I graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2014. (I am able to help anyone with the boarding school admissions process.) Outside of academia, I pursue my passions in dance, travel, volunteering, reading and art. My tutoring subjects are mathematics (from elementary school to college level) and standardized testing (SAT, SAT subject tests, PSAT, and SSAT). I have tutored mainly high school students in the New York State Regents exams and AP Calculus, although I also have experience with students in middle and elementary school. Since I have been through many school systems, including public, private, studying abroad, and boarding school, I have learned many different techniques and can attack a problem from various angles. Ultimately, my teaching style is full of tips and tricks to break down complicated topics into simple, more understandable ideas.

During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them.

James
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Many students improve by 5-10 points, though some see even larger jumps by identifying and addressing specific weak areas—whether that's logical reasoning pacing, reading comprehension strategy, or logic games mastery. The key is working with a tutor who can pinpoint exactly where you're losing points and create a targeted study plan.

Your first session focuses on assessment and strategy. A tutor will review your diagnostic test results, identify which sections are causing the most trouble, and understand your target law school goals and timeline. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that addresses your specific challenges—whether that's time management on reading comprehension, mastering logic games, or building confidence in logical reasoning. This foundation ensures every session after that is laser-focused on your needs.

Logic games intimidate many test-takers because they require a different skill set than the other sections—you're essentially learning a new system of diagramming and spatial reasoning. Many students struggle not with the logic itself, but with the speed and accuracy needed under time pressure. A tutor can teach you proven diagramming techniques, help you recognize game types quickly, and build the pattern recognition skills that make games feel intuitive rather than overwhelming.

Reading comprehension success comes down to active reading strategy and understanding what the test makers are actually asking. Many students read too passively or get bogged down in details instead of tracking the main argument and structure. Tutoring helps you develop a strategic approach to passages—how to annotate efficiently, identify the author's main point, and answer questions quickly and accurately. Combined with practice on real LSAT passages, this targeted strategy typically shows results within 3-4 weeks.

Pacing is one of the most common LSAT challenges because each section requires different timing strategies. Reading comprehension needs roughly 8-9 minutes per passage, logical reasoning demands quick pattern recognition, and logic games require careful setup but fast execution once you understand the game. A tutor helps you calibrate your pace for each section, teaches you when to skip and return to questions, and builds the stamina and confidence to maintain accuracy under time pressure through timed practice tests.

Most LSAT prep experts recommend taking 20-30 full-length practice tests over your study period to build familiarity, identify patterns in your mistakes, and develop test-day stamina. However, quality matters more than quantity—it's better to take 15 tests and thoroughly review every mistake than to rush through 30 without analysis. A tutor helps you use practice tests strategically: taking them at the right intervals, analyzing your performance data to spot trends, and adjusting your study plan based on what the tests reveal about your weak areas.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the test format and uncertainty about your abilities. The best antidote is repeated exposure and mastery—taking full-length timed practice tests in realistic conditions builds confidence because you've already done this dozens of times. A tutor also helps you develop mental strategies for test day: how to stay calm when you hit a difficult game, how to manage your energy across three hours, and how to maintain focus when questions feel tricky. Many students find that knowing exactly what to expect and having a solid strategy dramatically reduces anxiety.

Look for tutors with strong LSAT scores (typically 170+), law school experience, and proven success helping students improve their scores. Beyond credentials, the best LSAT tutors understand the test's logic deeply and can explain concepts clearly—they know why certain answer choices are traps and how to teach you to spot them. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have the knowledge and teaching skills to help you master this challenging test and reach your target score.
