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.

The SAT Reading section rewards a specific kind of close reading: tracking how an author builds an argument across paragraphs and identifying what the text actually says versus what it implies. Derek scored a 1550 composite and approaches evidence-based questions with the same logical precision he applies to his CS coursework — isolating the claim, finding the support, eliminating distractors.
Scoring 1530 on the SAT gave Lance firsthand insight into how the Reading section tests inference and evidence-pairing rather than simple comprehension. He teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking — whether it's a main-idea synthesis or a detail-support match — and to eliminate answer choices systematically under time pressure.
I'm an undergraduate at Princeton University working toward a degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, with the Sustainable Energy Certificate.
The SAT Reading section buries answers in dense passages from history, science, and literature — and most students lose points not because they can't read, but because they don't know how to read strategically under a timer. Max, who scored a 1550 on the SAT and holds a master's in history, teaches students to identify argument structure and evidence relationships before even looking at the answer choices. That approach turns a section many students dread into one of their most consistent performers.
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 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.
Scoring 1510 on the SAT, Michelle treats the Reading section as an exercise in argument analysis — identifying how authors use evidence, tone shifts, and structural choices to build a claim. She teaches students to read strategically, spending less time rereading passages and more time anticipating what the questions are actually testing. Rated 5.0 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.
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.
The SAT Reading section rewards a specific skill: finding the line in the passage that directly supports your answer, not the one that merely sounds right. Manuela, who earned a 1520 SAT composite and reads voraciously across genres, trains students to treat every question as an evidence-hunting exercise — especially on the paired-passage and data-interpretation sets that trip up even strong readers.
The SAT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about recognizing how the test asks you to find evidence and eliminate wrong answers under pressure. Jenna scored a 1560 SAT and treats each passage type, from historical documents to paired science excerpts, as its own mini-strategy session. Rated 5.0 by students, she breaks down question stems so the right answer feels obvious before you even look at the choices.
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 a law student, but I took an unusual route to get there. I used to attend medical school but had a change of heart in my career path. Part of this was due to my political science major (double major with biology) in college as well as a number of Spanish and other courses that I took. Tutoring is something, I feel, that has come naturally to me, even back to my high school days. My goal is to help you learn as much as you can and reach your true potential. I will work hard to make sure that this happens, as long as you put in the work, too! We will work together to tailor your learning experience to your needs.
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 a graduate of the University of Miami, where I majored in Psychology and English, with a focus in Creative Writing, and minored in Art. As a student, I was employed through America Reads. I worked individually with a kindergarten classroom of both special needs and neurotypical students, working with each child to develop a program that was both fun and effective in helping them overcome deficits. I tutor in English, literature, writing, math, and test prep at a variety of levels. I am most passionate about literature and writing as they are both hobbies I enjoy, but I also enjoy math because each problem feels like a puzzle to solve. I believe that learning should be engaging and fun, and was grateful to have many educators who helped me develop a strong educational background that has since provided me with many opportunities. I believe it is important to provide children and young adults with learning environments that emphasize the fun of learning, rather than portraying it as an inescapable chore. I try to provide an environment that encourages students to become active learners. In my free time, I enjoy reading all types of books, writing poetry and fiction, scuba diving, and hiking and slogging in the Everglades.
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.
Most SAT Reading mistakes don't come from misunderstanding the passage — they come from picking an answer that sounds right instead of one the text actually supports. Jairo, who scored a 1480 composite and is preparing for a PhD in social psychology, teaches a line-reference discipline that forces every answer back to specific evidence in the passage, which is especially effective on the inference and purpose questions where students tend to drift into speculation. Rated 4.9 by students.
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'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 graduating from School for Advanced Studies high school and Miami Dade College with my Associates in Art both simultaneously. I am going to continue my education at Carnegie Mellon University. I tutor my peers and anyone that needs help in my family. I have a pretty wide range of what I can teach because of all the different people that need help. I am also able to teach in different ways to make sure that the student understands and masters the materials given. I tutor in all types of math and am flexible with the type of math students need help with. On my free time I play the French Horn with my school band and hang out with family and friends.
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
Engineering majors rarely get credit for reading skills, but Joshitha's Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering coursework at Johns Hopkins means parsing dense, jargon-heavy passages for precise claims — which is exactly what the SAT science and social science excerpts demand. She scored a 1580 composite and teaches students a methodical approach to evidence-pairing questions: locate the conclusion first, then work backward through the text to find the lines that actually support it. Rated 5.0 by students.
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 am currently a student at the University of Central Florida, majoring in Biotechnology and in the Burnett Medical Scholars Program.
The SAT Reading section rewards students who can distinguish an author's central argument from supporting details — and who can do it under serious time pressure. Anthony, who scored a 1430 SAT composite, teaches a deliberate passage-mapping approach that cuts down on re-reading and makes evidence-based answer pairs far more intuitive.
Studying both computer science and studio art means Parker toggles daily between precise logical analysis and interpretive reading — two modes the SAT Reading section constantly demands, especially on science passages that require extracting data from dense prose and literature passages that hinge on tone and connotation. That dual fluency, paired with a 1600 composite, makes him unusually quick at switching between the analytical elimination needed for evidence-pairing questions and the intuitive close reading that cracks vocabulary-in-context items. Rated 5.0 by students.
The SAT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about finding evidence quickly and matching it to the right claim. Jessica, who scored a 1540 composite and trained as a certified writing tutor at Penn's Critical Writing Department, teaches students to dissect paired passages and pinpoint how authors build arguments. That analytical lens turns the trickiest history and science passages into straightforward exercises.
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!"
Scoring 1480 on the SAT gave Destiny firsthand experience with the Reading section's trickiest element: answer choices that look right but subtly distort the passage's argument. She teaches students to identify exactly where in the text an answer is supported — a disciplined evidence-matching habit that cuts through the section's designed ambiguity.
