Elizabeth scored 730 Verbal and 770 Quantitative on the GRE and teaches exclusively from ETS materials, since those mirror test-day question styles more closely than third-party prep books. She built her approach over years of classroom instruction at American University and Princeton Review, creating structured guides for every section — from Data Analysis formulas to Issue Essay frameworks — so students always know exactly what to study next.

Thomas covers both the quantitative and verbal sides of the GRE, drawing on a math-heavy science background that spans calculus through statistics and a graduate education built on reading and writing analytically. For the Quantitative Reasoning section, he digs into probability, number properties, and data interpretation — areas where many test-takers lose easy points. On the Verbal side, he teaches strategies for breaking apart dense reading passages and eliminating answer choices systematically.
Ruth has taken the GRE from both sides — as a test-taker entering her PhD program in Criminology and as someone who now teaches all three sections. Her doctoral training sharpens the Analytical Writing component, while her math teaching background means she can break down Quantitative Reasoning problems involving probability, combinatorics, and data interpretation without relying on shortcut tricks. Rated 4.9 by students, she builds section-specific strategies that adapt to each person's score gaps.
Preparing for the GRE as a whole means juggling Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing — three sections that reward very different skills but share a common thread of logical reasoning. Irina's science background covers the quantitative side, while her years of teaching English abroad and earning an MPH give her genuine range across the verbal and writing sections. She builds study plans around diagnostic weaknesses rather than generic timelines.
I am a graduate of Grinnell College, a private liberal arts college located in Grinnell, Iowa. I have a Bachelor of the Arts in Computer Science from Grinnell's Department of Math and Computer Science. Since graduation I have tutored students of a wide variety of ages and background in a number of subjects. I have tutored middle school students in the Chicago area in Math and science and high school students in advanced Math, chemistry, writing, and helped them prepare for standardized tests for college admittance. I have also tutored adults preparing for academic proficiency tests for their jobs and with GRE prep for those interested in going to graduate school. Additionally I have taught English grammar, reading, and conversational skills to ESL students in Chicago, Ecuador, and Colombia. While I tutor a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy helping students with standardized test strategy and following their scores as they increase towards their goal. When I tutor, I aim to lead students to an answer by example so that they can see the reasoning involved themselves, rather than me just telling them the answer. The more the students can come to their own solutions, the more memorable the lessons will be. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing skill games like scrabble, bridge, and poker, and outdoor activities like biking, camping, and canoeing when the weather is nice.
Scoring 5s on both AP English exams and the AP Psychology exam, Destiny knows how to dissect reading passages under pressure and construct tight analytical arguments — two skills that drive GRE Verbal and Analytical Writing scores. Her psychology background at Howard University also built the quantitative reasoning habits (interpreting data, working through statistical relationships) that carry over to the GRE's math section. She breaks the test into repeatable strategies so students spend less time second-guessing and more time executing.
Reviews from students: "I loved how you explained math. You were able to explain formulas so they made sense and it was engaging. Thank you for making math interesting." - Ferol Conklin "I have published over 20 articles, and no one has ever edited my articles as thoroughly or as helpfully as you did." - Mark Ragel "The instructor was the best I had at this university." - Spanish student, University of Illinois "Elle was kind, patient, and funny. She seemed to really enjoy teaching." - Spanish student, University of Illinois I have three years professional teaching experience and several years of tutoring experience. I have always been a teacher at heart. I feel my biggest strength as a tutor is looking at material from the perspective of the student. I have also been described as a calm, patient, passionate, and fun tutor. I think lesson plans should be interesting to motivate students to care about the subject and engage in the process of learning. I worked as a Spanish TA at the University of Illinois for two years as as the main instructor for over 200 students. I have also worked as a middle school teacher. I have experience tutoring a variety of subjects, including test prep, reading and writing, and various levels of math. My degrees are in Linguistics, Spanish, and Journalism, with a minor in Math.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Tutors help identify your specific weak areas—whether that's quantitative reasoning, verbal comprehension, or analytical writing—and create a targeted study plan. Many students improve by 10-15 percentile points or more when they work consistently with personalized instruction.
Your first session typically starts with a diagnostic assessment to understand your current skill level, test-taking habits, and areas needing the most work. The tutor will review your goals, timeline, and any specific concerns—like time management or particular question types that trip you up. From there, you'll develop a customized study plan that fits your schedule and targets your biggest opportunities for improvement.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges on the GRE, and tutors teach you strategic approaches for each section. You'll practice techniques like identifying question difficulty patterns, knowing when to skip and come back, and managing the balance between accuracy and speed. With timed practice tests and targeted drills, you'll build the stamina and decision-making skills to move through the exam confidently without rushing or getting stuck.
That depends on your diagnostic scores and target programs—some graduate schools weight these sections differently. A tutor will analyze your performance on practice tests to determine where you have the biggest opportunity for improvement. Many students benefit from balanced preparation, but if one section is significantly weaker, tutors can concentrate time there while maintaining your stronger area through strategic review.
Practice tests are essential—they're the best way to identify weak areas, get comfortable with the test format, and build test-taking stamina. Tutors use official ETS practice tests to benchmark your progress and simulate real exam conditions. Taking full-length practice tests every 1-2 weeks, combined with targeted skill-building between tests, gives you concrete data about what's working and what needs adjustment.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with question formats or uncertainty about your abilities—both things tutoring directly addresses. By mastering content, practicing under timed conditions, and developing reliable problem-solving strategies, you build genuine confidence rather than false reassurance. Tutors also teach stress-management techniques and help you develop a growth mindset about challenging questions, which reduces anxiety on test day.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of preparation, meeting 1-2 times per week, though your timeline depends on your starting score and target score. If you're starting significantly below your goal, you might need 12-16 weeks; if you're closer to your target, 6-8 weeks may be sufficient. Your tutor will recommend a realistic timeline based on your diagnostic assessment and help you stay on track with consistent practice between sessions.
