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.
I'm not spending hours reading Nietzsche, I'm doing improv comedy and graphic design. I'm currently pursuing a career in advertising/consulting, and in my spare time I eat mini tacos and watch Louis CK stand-up comedy.
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.
I'm especially passionate about helping with English, college application essays, and SAT Writing. I remember firsthand how challenging the college application process can be, so I find it fulfilling to help students discern their own narratives and share techniques to help them succeed. As a 10-time tournament champion in Impromptu speaking, I also love coaching students in public speech and helping them build their confidence!
I am currently a graduate student at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My teaching experience spans several years and age groups. As a high school student, I volunteered as a teaching assistant for a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help them build strong foundations during some of their most important academic years!
I'm Alicia, a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, and graduate student in Writing at Columbia University.
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.
I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.
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 happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.
I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. 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. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.
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 no longer needed.
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.
I am a student at Cornell University pursuing a double major in Biological Sciences, concentrating in computational biology, and Computer Science. I have tutored math, biology, physics, and French to middle school and high school students. I have also facilitated group discussion sessions for English language learners. I love learning new things and helping others understand these concepts as well.
I am in the process now of applying for PhD programs in Computational Biology. I have done research in the field of freshwater ecology and am anticipating the publication of a paper I co-authored in the next several months.
I am a rising sophomore at Case Western Reserve University studying engineering. I have taken most high-school level standardized tests, and have scored consistently above the 95th percentile. I have tutored small groups of students throughout high school, and also have experience as a private tutor. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee with my college club team.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused, personalized instruction. If you're scoring in the mid-range on Logical Reasoning, improvement of 3-5 points is realistic with dedicated practice. Students starting from a lower baseline often see larger percentage gains. The key is identifying your specific weak points—whether that's flaw questions, assumption questions, or timing—and addressing them systematically rather than reviewing content broadly.
The three biggest challenges are: (1) Question type confusion—students often struggle to identify what a question is actually asking before diving into the stimulus, leading to wrong answers despite understanding the passage; (2) Timing pressure—trying to read and analyze complex arguments while racing the clock causes careless mistakes; and (3) Distinguishing close answers—even strong readers struggle to eliminate tricky wrong answers that seem similar to the correct one. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach to each question type and build the pattern recognition skills that come from strategic practice rather than just doing more questions.
Most test-takers have about 1.5 minutes per question, but the best strategy isn't to spend exactly that time on every question. Instead, spend 45-60 seconds quickly identifying the question type and argument structure, then invest more time in eliminating answers carefully rather than re-reading. A smarter approach is to do easier questions first, even if they're not first in the section—get quick points, build confidence, then tackle harder stimulus arguments. Personalized tutoring helps you identify your question types—the ones you can do faster and the ones requiring more focus—so you can allocate time strategically instead of linearly.
For students preparing for the LSAT, consistent practice 4-5 times per week with dedicated Logical Reasoning work yields the best results. This doesn't mean doing full sections every day—mix focused drills on question types you find difficult with full-section practice under timed conditions. Quality matters more than quantity: doing 20 questions while actively analyzing why you missed something is more valuable than doing 50 questions mechanically. A tutor helps you structure this practice, track patterns in your mistakes, and adjust difficulty as you improve, so your study time directly targets your weaknesses rather than repeating mistakes.
LSAT Logical Reasoning breaks down into core question types: assumption/sufficient assumption, weaken/strengthen, flaw identification, parallel reasoning, and main point/conclusion questions, among others. Each requires different reading and elimination strategies. Beyond question types, you'll work on argument structure recognition (identifying premises, conclusions, and gaps), formal logic patterns (conditional statements, scope shifts), and answer choice psychology (why tricky wrong answers appeal to test-takers). A personalized tutor assesses which question types trip you up most and can dedicate more time there, rather than treating all questions equally.
Test anxiety on Logical Reasoning often stems from two sources: (1) uncertainty about being right—you finish but doubt your answer, and (2) time pressure panic—when you hit a hard question and start rushing through remaining ones. Building confidence comes from repeated success, which is why timed practice tests matter; your brain learns that you can finish and get a solid score. Between practice sessions, a tutor can also teach you the breathing and mental reset techniques that help you stay calm during the actual test. Starting with untimed practice to build accuracy, then gradually introducing time pressure, helps anxiety feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
The best LSAT Logical Reasoning tutor has three things: (1) deep expertise in LSAT specifics—they understand how LSAC designs questions and the patterns across released tests, not just general logic; (2) diagnostic skill—they can quickly identify whether you're missing questions due to reading comprehension gaps, logic gaps, or pacing, so tutoring targets the actual problem; and (3) teaching flexibility—they adjust to your learning style, whether you need visual diagrams of argument structure, written notes, or verbal explanation. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in Washington, DC who specialize in LSAT prep and can customize their teaching to your specific challenges and score goals.
