Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins means Joshitha lives in the overlap of quantitative problem-solving and dense technical reading — the exact combination the PSAT tests across its math and evidence-based reading sections. She scored 1580 on the SAT and uses that experience to teach students how to handle the no-calculator algebra questions and passage-based writing prompts without overthinking. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida, majoring in Biotechnology and in the Burnett Medical Scholars Program.
I am a recent college graduate from the University of Florida. I studied both premedical subjects as a biology major and social sciences as an economics major. I have experience mentoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math.
Emerson's pre-med coursework in biology and psychology at UChicago means he's constantly digesting data-heavy research and constructing precise written arguments — the same skills the PSAT tests across its reading passages and Writing and Language questions. He scored 1560 on the SAT and uses that familiarity with the test architecture to teach students how to eliminate trap answers on command-of-evidence questions and work through Heart of Algebra problems without a calculator. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a student at the University of North Florida, and I will be graduating with both an accounting and finance degree in December. I have always had a passion for teaching and have tutored in subjects ranging from Calculus to SAT prep. However, as a UNF tutor and SI, I primarily assisted students with accounting classes. From high school accounting to upper level college courses, I am extremely comfortable with the accounting taught in school and would love to assist any with it.
Scoring a 1530 on the SAT means Nicholas already dominated the material the PSAT draws from — the same algebra, data analysis, and evidence-based reading questions, just with a slightly lower ceiling. He breaks the test into repeatable strategies for each section, especially the math portions where his genetics research background makes chart and graph interpretation second nature. Rated 4.8 by students.
As a passionate tutor currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Nutritional Science at the University of Florida, I have experience in helping students grasp complex subjects such as Algebra, Chemistry, and Biology. I hope to fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore their curiosity. I believe in using relatable examples and hands-on approaches to ease challenging concepts, which not only enhances understanding but also builds confidence. I am dedicated to guiding students through their academic journeys, and I find great joy in witnessing their progress and success.
I am teaching the concepts does not work for you, let me know and I will try my very best to teach students in the way they feel comfortable. Also, I am a student myself, so I know and understand the struggles of being a student. Do not worry though! I have tutored countless students ranging from grades 1-12. I have tutored middle school students for the past three years and recently began tutoring a few high school students for the SAT exam. I have received multiple mathematics awards throughout my high school years, so I am confident that I will be able to teach your student the tips and tricks around different types of math problems. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me!
I'm a 2021 graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry. I've been tutoring chemistry in some form since 2017 and I am passionate about teaching! I love finding new ways to explain complex topics.
I am hoping to put forth my knowledge and academic expertise in the variety of areas I am comfortable to do so, but with particular focus on one area that remains a crucial point upon which our education system rest: standardized testing. I am a recent veteran of the rather arduous journey most students take through myriad tests, upon which their success and failure is determined. I have intimate experience and knowledge with the AP, IB, SAT, and GRE tests, and have spent time tutoring in the area of the SAT, as well as staying abreast of changes in testing protocol and procedure for those tests which I listed above, prior to my time here.
I graduated from University of North Florida with a Bachelor's Degree in English and a minor in Creative Writing. My tutoring strengths are English/Writing, Math through Algebra 2, chemistry, and SAT/ACT Test Prep. I believe that students need one-on-one attention in order to succeed and would love to provide that for students to help them learn in the way that works best for them. I have been tutoring algebra/geometry, English, and chemistry for 8 years now. I pride myself in helping students to improve their grades in classes they are struggling with.
A Classics degree means Leslie has spent years doing exactly what the PSAT's reading passages demand — working through dense, argumentative texts and pinpointing how authors use evidence to build a case. That training in close reading pairs well with the Writing and Language section, where grammar questions only make sense if you understand the passage's structure. Her 1410 SAT and 4.9 rating from students back up the approach.
I am an incoming medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I graduated from Rice University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Medical Humanities and Business.
I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.
I'm a 2nd year medical student at the University of Miami. I have extensive experience tutoring in all science subjects (orgo, biology, genetics, physics), math and reading. I have been an SAT and ACT tutoring for over 6 years now at the local Boys and Girls Club. I also have extensive experience tutoring for the MCAT, from best practices to more technical skills as well. I enjoy tutoring and realize everyone learns in a unique way. I try to cater my style to my student and help them reach the full extent of their capabilities.
I am currently a Harvard student majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Applied Mathematics. I graduated Class Valedictorian in high school and was named National Merit Finalist. I took 16 AP classes in high school, including AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, AP Physics C : Mechanics and AP Physics 1, with a score of 5 in all of the tests. I scored a 1570/1600 in my SAT and 800 in the SAT Math Level 2 Subject Test and 790 in the SAT Physics Subject Test.
No subject, no test, and no question is bigger than you. By the end of our time together, I hope to make you see that my only job was really just to make you see--you really had it in you, all along. If there's any subject in which you truly believe you suck--that you're just the worst, and that nothing will ever help you improve--then don't you dare give up until you've given me a call! I'm a writer, but I love numbers, and nothing makes me more proud than helping students overcome their biggest challenges. I've scored near-perfect on both standardized tests, and I've been helping students understand how to improve their own scores ever since. I'm also capable of tutoring advanced Music Theory topics, as well as Spanish and Mandarin Chinese
I am a 22-year-old medical student. In college, I triple majored in Theoretical Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry. My tutoring experience includes over a dozen classes where I was a TA or grader, many of which involved me teaching classes independently. I am looking forward to tutoring hardworking and motivated students who want to challenge themselves.
I am a rising sophomore at Columbia University studying philosophy. I specialize in tutoring high school math, English, and the SAT. This past year I tutored English and math at an elementary/middle school near Columbia. In my free time, I enjoy listening to and playing jazz in a band at Columbia as well as exploring NYC.
I'm Veena and I recently graduated from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Microbiology and Immunology with Chemistry and English Literature as my minors. I've tutored at a Math and Reading learning center in high school and became an employee of the Academic Resource Center at UM where I tutored my peers in STEM subjects. I was an assistant science teacher at a middle school for a year, and a workshop leader for chemistry classes at UM.
Dual-tracking computer science and studio art means Parker switches between algorithmic thinking and creative interpretation daily — a combination that maps neatly onto the PSAT's split between no-calculator algebra and evidence-based reading passages. With a perfect 1600 SAT and 36 ACT, he knows exactly where the PSAT's question design overlaps with (and diverges from) the full SAT, and he uses that knowledge to teach section-specific pacing and elimination strategies. Rated 5.0 by students.
I'm an undergraduate at Princeton University working toward a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, with the Sustainable Energy Certificate.
As a certified writing tutor at Penn's Critical Writing Department, Jessica spent years giving structured feedback on argument and style — the same skills the PSAT's Writing and Language section tests when students must fix grammar in context and improve passage organization. Her 1540 SAT confirms she navigates both the verbal and quantitative sides of the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and her history degree adds depth to the evidence-based reading passages where recognizing how authors build claims is half the battle.
I am no longer by their side. I seldom have students rely on "tricks"; instead, students will learn the underlying reasoning so that they can extend their solving methods to new related problem types. I look forward to applying my years of tutoring and teaching experience to help many motivated students.
I am definitely qualified to tutor. However, more than being qualified, what I've always hoped to achieve as a tutor is to develop the ability in my tutees to become strong independent learners with effective study strategies that they can take with them wherever they go. My motto is "Study Smarter, not just Harder!"
Most PSAT prep treats the math and verbal sections as separate worlds, but Max's approach ties them together — the same process-of-elimination logic he teaches for Heart of Algebra questions works on the trickiest command-of-evidence reading problems too. His history teaching background at the university level means he's comfortable breaking down dense passages, and a 1550 SAT confirms he's navigated the full test architecture the PSAT is built from. Rated 4.7 by students.
I am a second year Computer Engineering student at the University of Florida. I have experience working for Mathnasium tutoring students from kindergarten through high school. I love tutoring math as it has always been my favorite subject and I really enjoy the problem solving aspect of the subject.
Harrison's interdisciplinary science background — nanotechnology research, organic chemistry, genetics — means the PSAT's data-heavy math questions and science-oriented reading passages feel like familiar territory rather than abstract exercises. He scored a 1570 on the SAT the PSAT mirrors and teaches all three PSAT sections, with particular strength in the no-calculator math where students need to reason through Heart of Algebra problems without relying on shortcuts. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am a National Merit awardee, and a recent USF Graduate with a D.B.A. with Honors in Philosophy and History, both of which I enjoy thoroughly. My job is to make the material as easy to understand for you as it is for me. I have done this by mastering conversational Socratic ask-and-answer methodology to ensure my students attain the capacity to come to the right answers on their own. Additionally, I have invented multiple general tactics and even detailed strategies pertinent to specific question types, with the ability to translate the above to all learning styles including neurodivergent ones -particularly ADHD and anxiety which I myself have- to radically and adaptably simplify the exam for students as per their personal learning aptitudes.
I am a current undergraduate student at the University of Central Florida pursuing a bachelor???s in music education. During and prior to my time at UCF, I have worked with music students of all ages, helping them gain insight into technique and practice methods, and volunteered time during high school to acting as a tutor for those struggling in academic subjects. In my time acting as an academic tutor, I have found that I most enjoy assisting students struggling with English and math. With all subjects, but especially in regards to these, I often find that students know more than they believe they do. My aim in teaching is to help students take ownership and pride in what they do well, and begin to use this confidence to establish responsibility for their own learning that will advance their knowledge beyond a classroom setting. I believe that the more control students find they have over their own learning, the more successful they will be. In my spare time I enjoy all sorts of films and TV shows, and doing research for social justice advocacy.
My tutoring sessions are interactive, patient, and highly personalized. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all methodeach student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to match their individual pace, goals, and learning style. I focus on helping students truly understand the why behind each concept, not just memorize formulas or shortcuts. Together, we work step-by-step through problems, discussing reasoning, strategy, and underlying principles until everything clicks. My goal is to build lasting confidence and clarity. Whether a student is catching up, aiming to excel, or just trying to feel more comfortable with the material, I create a supportive environment where they can ask questions freely, think critically, and stay engaged. I also believe in strong communicationkeeping parents informed and helping students take ownership of their learning. Above all, I want my students to leave each session feeling capable, confident, and genuinely connected to what they're learning.
As a med student, Kaitlyn reads dense scientific passages under time pressure every day — which is essentially what the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section asks students to do with unfamiliar texts across science, history, and social studies. Her 1500 SAT and biology background also make the data-interpretation and no-calculator math questions feel routine, so she can spend sessions drilling the pacing and process-of-elimination strategies that actually move scores. Rated 4.8 by students.
Studying human biology at Harvard means Destiny reads data-heavy passages and interprets graphs daily — the same skills the PSAT tests across its Evidence-Based Reading and math sections. Her 35 ACT and 1480 SAT show she's conquered both major test architectures, so she knows which strategies transfer to the PSAT and which don't. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a certified Math 5-9 Teacher in FL. I taught middle and high school for two years. I am a graduate of Florida State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Social Science with a focus in Public Administration and Sociology. After graduation, I took a gap year before graduate school to serve in AmeriCorps. I highly recommend it! I currently do photography and work at a startup. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math. I have worked with students in grades K-12. I cater to each student's individual learning style. In my experience, it is always rewarding seeing my students have that "aha moment" when they understand a concept or when their confidence and attitude towards a subject has changed from when we started. This in turn is reflected in their improved test scores and grades in the class. I am a firm believer in fully investing in my students to help them reach their highest potential.
I am a current undergraduate student at Duke University seeking a major in neuroscience and a possible minor in literature or chemistry. I have been tutoring higher level courses since the beginning of high school, and although I tutor in a variety of subjects, I specialize in writing, English, and essay editing (especially IB Extended Essays or college essays). I also help students with standardized testing, particularly in the SAT Reading portion of the exam. My passion for tutoring comes from my love of learning and helping others learn, and in my free time I enjoy painting, poetry, and fashion design.
Ankit's dual neuroscience and computer science training at Duke means he thinks in systems — which is exactly how to crack the PSAT's math sections, where Heart of Algebra and Passport to Advanced Math problems reward students who see structural patterns instead of grinding through arithmetic. His 1580 SAT confirms he's mastered the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and his science background makes the data-interpretation and graph-reading questions feel like second nature. Rated 4.8 by students.
I am a rising senior majoring in civil engineering at the University of Florida (UF). I graduated from Coral Gables Senior High School, with an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, where I had many teachers that I admired and looked up to. The wonderful experiences I had with my teachers in high school is why I am so passionate about tutoring and empowering students to meet their full potential. I have experience tutoring students in both middle and high school to succeed in classes in which they were having academic difficulty. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and science because I am able to share my expertise to give my students the confidence and knowledge to thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PSAT is a standardized test that measures reading, writing, and math skills—essentially a practice version of the SAT. For students in Jacksonville, taking the PSAT (usually in sophomore or junior year) serves two important purposes: it helps identify academic strengths and weaknesses before the SAT, and juniors can compete for National Merit recognition, which can open doors to scholarships and college opportunities.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but most students see meaningful gains—typically 50-100 points or more—when they work with a tutor on targeted weak areas. The key is identifying exactly where you're losing points (pacing issues, specific question types, careless errors) and practicing strategically rather than just taking more practice tests.
Students in Jacksonville often struggle with three main areas: pacing (running out of time on reading), understanding dense question formats (especially in the reading section), and careless errors in math when working quickly. Many also struggle with vocabulary-in-context questions and recognizing grammar patterns under pressure. A tutor can help you develop strategies specific to each section rather than just drilling problems.
Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of preparation, depending on their baseline score and target improvement. A typical schedule might involve 1-2 tutoring sessions per week combined with independent practice. Starting 2-3 months before your test date gives you time to identify weak areas, learn new strategies, and build confidence without feeling rushed.
Practice tests are essential—they're the best way to identify which question types and sections slow you down and where you're making mistakes. Rather than taking test after test, a tutor can help you take 2-3 full practice tests strategically, then focus your study time on the specific patterns and weak areas that emerge. This targeted approach is far more efficient than random practice.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format and time pressure. Working with a tutor helps you become so familiar with question types and pacing that the test feels routine rather than scary. You'll also learn concrete strategies like the "skip and return" method for tough questions, which reduces panic and keeps you moving forward confidently.
Absolutely. The PSAT and SAT measure the same skills and have similar formats, so strategies and content knowledge transfer directly. Many students use the PSAT as a diagnostic tool—your tutor can identify weak areas on the PSAT, and you'll strengthen those exact skills before taking the SAT, giving you a significant advantage.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Jacksonville who specialize in PSAT preparation and understand the specific challenges students face. During your first session, a tutor can assess your current level, discuss your goals (whether that's National Merit qualification or SAT preparation), and create a personalized study plan tailored to your learning style and schedule.
