I specialize in high-level GMAT diagnostic and execution coaching for stalled high-achievers. I don't just teach content; I identify the execution, timing, and decision-making patterns preventing score improvement and build customized strategies to break through plateaus under time pressure. After years of coaching GMAT students across a wide range of score levels, I've found that many advanced students underperform not because they lack ability, but because they approach questions inefficientlytreating each problem like a new puzzle instead of recognizing recurring execution patterns quickly and systematically. I earned my MBA from Georgetown University and worked as a former Sony engineer, bringing a data-driven and strategic mindset to every session. With 100+ five-star reviews, I've guided GMAT students to break barriersnot just raising scores, but shifting their confidence and thinking. As a result, many of my students have earned admission to elite MBA programs, including UCL

Abraham
BA University

I am a summa cum laude graduate from the University of Florida, where I majored in Chemistry and minored in Physics. With experience as a teaching assistant for general, organic, and inorganic chemistry, I hope to make the daunting STEM coursework that pushes students away from their academic or professional goals more approachable. I take a personalized, learner-based approach to teaching, using structured practice to identify content gaps and equip students with the strategies and key tools that bring results on test day. I strongly believe that anybody can find success in chemistry and physics; it's simply a matter of approach. When I'm not studying, I enjoy producing music digitally using FL Studio!

Jessica
PhD Nova Southeastern University • BA University of Pennsylvania
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.

4+ Years Tutoring

I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I tutor many STEM subjects, SAT/ACT prep, and AP/IB classes! In the years past, I've mentored two robotics teams and I have experience tutoring at my school and in my neighborhood. I deeply believe that an intuitive understanding of educational content is crucial to success, and I implement this philosophy by teaching problem-solving techniques and strategies in addition to the material. In my free time, I love to read, paint, crochet, and watch TV shows. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Sarasota's 72 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Sarasota County School District or a charter or private school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide personalized support aligned with what they're learning in class.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking) and can help students master grade-level expectations in math, reading, science, and social studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is especially effective for filling gaps and building confidence in areas where students struggle with state-level benchmarks.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 in Sarasota County schools, teachers work hard to support many students at once. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing one-on-one attention focused entirely on your student's individual learning style, pace, and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

Sarasota students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including math (especially algebra and geometry), reading and writing, science, and test prep for standardized assessments like the FSA and EOC exams. We also work with students on AP and honors coursework, as well as foundational skills for younger learners. Varsity Tutors can match your student with a tutor in virtually any subject.

During the first session, the tutor will get to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands in their subject, understand what they're working on in their Sarasota school classes, and develop a personalized plan for how tutoring can best support them. This foundation helps ensure every session after that is focused and effective.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in test prep for SAT, ACT, AP exams, and Florida-specific assessments. Whether your student is preparing for college entrance exams or state-mandated testing, personalized tutoring allows tutors to focus on your student's specific weak areas and test-taking strategies, which research shows leads to stronger results than generic test prep.

Varsity Tutors works with your family's schedule. Sessions can be arranged around school, sports, activities, and other commitments. Whether your student needs help during the school year, summer support, or intensive prep before a big exam, tutors can customize a schedule that works for your family's needs.

Start by telling us about your student's needs—their grade, subject, and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can schedule the first session at a time that works for your family. The process is straightforward, and you'll have a dedicated tutor focused on helping your student succeed.
