No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

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.
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'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.
I'm an undergraduate at Princeton University working toward a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, with the Sustainable Energy Certificate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scoring 1560 on the SAT means Jenna already knew the PSAT inside and out — the question styles, timing traps, and evidence-based reading techniques are nearly identical across both tests. She treats PSAT prep as a chance to lock in National Merit qualifying scores while building the exact skills that carry over to SAT day, from command-of-evidence questions to passport-to-advanced-math problem sets. Rated 5.0 by students.
I'm now an undergraduate at the University of Florida and I'm seeking a Bachelor's in Mathematics and a Doctorate in Pharmacy.
I am Pre-Med but majored in Romance Languages and Literatures. I was born in Colombia and speak Spanish at home. I studied abroad in France junior year of high school and in Chile junior year of college, and my experience abroad really strengthened my passion for languages and other cultures.
Dylann scored a 1470 on the SAT, which shares its structure and question styles with the PSAT — making her well-suited to break down the evidence-based reading passages and no-calculator math sections that trip up most students. Her dual background in psychology and English means she can tackle both the verbal and quantitative sides of the test with equal confidence. Rated 5.0 by students.
A physics degree builds the exact quantitative instincts the PSAT's no-calculator section demands — Payal can walk students through Heart of Algebra and Passport to Advanced Math problems using the kind of first-principles reasoning that makes formulas feel obvious instead of memorized. Her 1530 SAT means she's already navigated the full test the PSAT mirrors, and her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.
Having walked the pre-med path before pivoting to law school, Gaurav has unusually broad analytical training — the kind that covers both the PSAT's data-heavy math questions and the evidence-based reading passages where students need to trace an author's reasoning across paragraphs. His 1570 SAT means he's already conquered the test the PSAT directly mirrors, and his biology-plus-political-science double major built the cross-disciplinary thinking that the Writing and Language section's science and social studies passages specifically test. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am currently studying Medicinal and Biological Chemistry at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida, where I have just finished my sophomore year. After graduation, I hope to attend medical school, and one day become a physician. For over a year, I have been tutoring my peers in chemistry and anatomy & physiology through a peer tutoring program at my university. My favorite subject to tutor is by far chemistry, because it is extremely rewarding to help a student understand a difficult concept and then watch them be able to work though problems and apply those concepts on their own. I believe that students can only succeed if they understand the purpose of what they are learning, so I always make it a point to explain the "why" behind important concepts and ideas. This way, the student can develop a strong foundation of knowledge and can become more confident in their understanding of the subject. In my free time, I enjoy working out, reading exciting novels, and exploring my home city of Miami, Florida.
I am excited to return the favor. I recently graduated with a bachelors in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Biochemistry. I love to tutor biology, it is so fascinating to learn about. I am constantly learning more and am amazed by the questions students ask me that urge me to keep learning. I also enjoy tutoring en Espanol which I learned from my parents growing up and continued to learn throughout high school.
I am certified in the state of Florida to teach Middle Grades Mathematics 5-9. I have a bachelors degree in Finance and Masters degree in Sustainable Real Estate Development from Tulane University. I previously worked in real estate for two years prior to moving to Miami and was involved as a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters for much of that time.
I am currently preparing in order to apply for a PhD program in Social Psychology. I can tutor several subjects in the areas of writing, reading, and mathematics, up to early college-level. I can also help with preparation for standardized tests, such as SAT and GRE, which I particularly enjoy. I think academic success depends not only on practice, but, most importantly, on finding the correct approach to learning. Each person, I believe, has a different way of processing information and, as a tutor, it is one of my priorities to help students develop the critical thinking methods problem-solving skills that work best for them. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing, watching TV series, and anything related to the game of soccer.
Scoring a 1460 on the SAT means Marissa already conquered the same question styles and content the PSAT throws at students — the no-calculator algebra problems, passport-to-advanced-math functions, and evidence-based reading pairs that determine National Merit eligibility. She breaks the PSAT's scoring scale down so students know exactly where their points are hiding and how to recover them. Rated 4.8 by students she's worked with.
I'm from Las Vegas, NV. I am currently a junior at the University of Miami majoring in Industrial Engineering with a double minor in Mathematics and Economics. My hobbies include laying by the pool and listening to new music.
I am a rising senior at Duke University who is Pre Med and majoring in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I was born and raised in Miami FL and went to public school until college (Sunset Elementary, GW Carver Middle and Coral Reef Senior High for those from Miami). I decided to start tutoring because I would not be on this path had I not had good teachers supporting me along the way. For that reason I want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle.
I am currently an Ed.M. candidate at Harvard Graduate School of Education. For the past four years, I have been a math tutor for the Tufts Literacy Corps, focusing on arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry and geometry. I have also taught Earth and Space Science at Breakthrough Collaborative, violin at the Tufts Community Music Program, and worked with students from age seven to seventeen.
I am a current senior at Coral Reef Senior High in the International Baccalaureate program and will be headed to Dartmouth College in the fall to study environmental science and public policy. I am a native Spanish speaker, and have taken the highest level classes available to me. I am very passionate about science and history, and have tutored those subjects extensively with the Social Studies Honors Society and Science Honors Society at my school. I have also tutored for the past three years with Tutoring For Tomorrow, a local charity that donates tutoring revenue to local nonprofits in need. Having recently finished the college application process, I know the intricacies of the system and am uniquely suited to help other students with it.
I am a student of the University of Central Florida currently working on a PhD in Digital Media. As a tutor for Varsity Tutors, I have the unique ability to be able to combine two of my greatest passions--writing, and helping others. This is a combination of interests that I've been working with for a while now whether in High School tutoring children from my old elementary school, mentoring middles schoolers and high schoolers as part of Write Away, and tutoring college students on essay writing with Tutor.com. When it comes to tutoring, I specialize in reading and writing, though find my preference to be mostly in writing as it is a subject I am both strong in as well as take a personal interest in as an aspiring writer. Outside of writing stories, however, interests of mine including consuming media of all types such as books, movies, television shows, or video games, enjoying all so long as they have good stories to back them up.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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!"
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you apply strategies learned during tutoring sessions. Many students see 50-100 point gains (on the 320-1520 scale) within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, particularly when addressing specific weak areas like reading comprehension pacing or algebra problem-solving.
A tutor can help you identify which sections offer the most improvement potential—for example, if you're losing points to time management on the reading section rather than concept gaps, targeted strategies can yield faster results than trying to strengthen everything at once.
Time management is one of the most common challenges on the PSAT, especially in the Reading and Writing section where students often rush or spend too long on difficult passages. The key is learning to recognize which questions you can confidently answer quickly versus which ones need more careful attention.
Tutors can teach you strategies like: tackling easier questions first to build confidence, using passage skimming techniques to save time on reading, and knowing when to make an educated guess rather than getting stuck. Practice tests help you develop your personal pacing rhythm so test day feels less overwhelming.
The diagnostic process starts with a full-length practice test taken under timed, test-like conditions. Tutors analyze your results section by section—math, reading, and writing—to pinpoint whether you're losing points due to conceptual gaps, careless mistakes, or time pressure.
This breakdown is crucial because the fix for each problem type is different. If you're missing algebra questions due to unfamiliarity with quadratic equations, that requires content review. If you're rushing through grid-in problems and making arithmetic errors, that requires a strategy adjustment. For students in Miami working with a tutor, this personalized diagnosis means your study time focuses on what actually matters for your score.
Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full-length practice tests spaced throughout their preparation period, with at least one taken under strict test-day conditions (timed, quiet, without breaks mid-section). This gives you enough data to spot patterns in your mistakes without overtesting and burning out.
The real value comes from how you use practice tests—reviewing every single question you missed, not just checking your score. Tutors help you turn practice tests into learning tools by analyzing error patterns, teaching you why you chose wrong answers, and adjusting your study plan based on what the tests reveal about your readiness.
Test anxiety usually stems from uncertainty about what to expect or lack of confidence in your preparation. Working with a tutor addresses both: you'll become familiar with the test format, question types, and timing through repeated practice, which naturally builds confidence and reduces anxiety on test day.
Tutors also teach breathing and mental strategies to use when you feel stuck—like reminding yourself that the PSAT is designed to have hard questions, that skipping a difficult problem isn't failure, and that pacing breaks help you refocus. Many students find that knowing they've practiced extensively and have a game plan makes a huge difference in how calm they feel walking into the testing room.
The PSAT Reading and Writing section tests both comprehension and grammar/vocabulary in context, so effective strategies differ by question type. For reading comprehension, many students benefit from reading the questions first to know what to look for, using line references to quickly locate evidence, and avoiding rereading entire passages unnecessarily.
For grammar and vocabulary questions, recognizing common error types (subject-verb agreement, pronoun clarity, etc.) and understanding what makes certain word choices better fits for context saves significant time. Tutors teach you to spot these patterns so you're not analyzing every answer choice—you're identifying the most likely answer quickly and confidently.
A typical effective preparation timeline is 8-12 weeks, meeting with a tutor 1-2 times per week alongside independent practice. This allows enough time to work through content gaps, develop test-taking strategies, take multiple practice tests, and adjust your approach based on what you learn from each test.
If you're starting closer to your test date or juggling a heavy course load, even 4-6 weeks of focused tutoring can meaningfully improve your score—but you'll need to be consistent with practice between sessions. For students in Miami's 479 schools preparing for the PSAT, starting early means you're not rushed and can tackle challenges methodically rather than cramming.
