Between a biochemistry degree and a master's in biology, Thomas has run enough statistical analyses and quantitative problem sets to recognize the GRE Quant section for what it is — recycled algebra, ratios, geometry, and data interpretation dressed up in deliberately tricky phrasing. He teaches across the full math ladder from pre-algebra through differential equations, which means he can spot exactly where a rusty concept is causing downstream errors and fix it at the root. Rated 4.8 by students.

Scoring 770 on her own Quantitative section, Elizabeth knows the GRE math isn't about advanced concepts — it's about recognizing which arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or data analysis principle a question is really testing beneath its wording. She taught GRE prep as an adjunct professor at American University and developed formula guides and shortcut strategies specifically for the Quantitative Comparison and Data Interpretation question types. Her students learn to spot the traps ETS builds into answer choices rather than grinding through brute-force calculations.
My teaching philosophy is focused on a single objective - that students learn. I have a Ph.D. in Criminology from the University of Pennsylvania and a J.D. from Temple Law School. My GRE score was a 326, and my LSAT score was a 173. I've tutored over 60 students through Varsity Tutors. I'm committed to helping students reach their full potentials.
Having taught high school math abroad through the Peace Corps and later completed quantitative coursework in her MPH at Emory, Irina has cycled through the exact algebra, ratios, and data analysis concepts the GRE Quant section recycles — multiple times, in multiple contexts. She's especially sharp at diagnosing the specific rusty spots that trip up students who haven't touched formal math since undergrad, then building targeted practice around those gaps.
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.
Hello, my name is Destiny and I graduated from Howard University. I majored in Psychology with a minor in Biology and Administration of Justice. One of the most important lessons I've learned from school is the value of asking for help. This can be the difference between simply memorizing some facts and truly understanding the material given to you. In many cases, learning in a traditional school setting is not effective and students should feel free to reach out for extra guidance. I strive to be that source of guidance for all students who need it. I believe that everyone learns in their own way and that the key to helping someone else lies in finding their unique style of learning. I take great pleasure in finding those styles and using them to enrich students minds. My main areas of expertise are Psychology and English. Ive been reading at a college level since middle school and scored 5s on both AP English tests. I also scored a 5 on the AP Psychology exam in addition to receiving As in all my psychology classes. I have extensive experience with essay writing, essay editing, and researching. Other subjects I can assist with include Algebra I and II, Geometry, and SAT/ACT prep. Outside of class, I like to stay busy with school activities and hobbies. I spend most of my time playing the trumpet in my schools marching band or studying. But when I have free time, I typically catch up with my shows or read.
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.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study intensity, but most students see meaningful gains with focused preparation. Students who work with a tutor typically improve by 3-5 points on the 170-point scale, though improvement varies based on your baseline score and time commitment. Starting from a lower score often allows for more dramatic improvements, while students already scoring in the upper ranges may see more modest gains. The key is targeted practice on your specific weak areas—whether that's geometry, data interpretation, or algebra—rather than generic test prep.
You have about 62 seconds per question on average, but not all questions deserve equal time. Effective pacing means spending 30-45 seconds on easier questions and up to 90 seconds on harder ones, rather than getting stuck and running out of time. Many test-takers benefit from learning to recognize when to make an educated guess and move on—this is often better than spending 3 minutes on one problem and rushing through the last five questions. A tutor can help you practice this timing under realistic test conditions and develop a pacing strategy that matches your strengths, whether that means tackling geometry first or saving it for last.
Data interpretation and geometry trips up many test-takers, especially if these weren't strong areas in previous math courses. Word problems that require translation from English to equations, data analysis from charts and graphs, and coordinate geometry frequently appear and challenge students who haven't practiced these formats. Number properties, probability, and algebra under time pressure also create difficulty for many test-takers. The good news is that these are all learnable skills—identifying which specific topics are your weak spots through practice tests is the first step, then drilling those areas with targeted exercises and strategy tips from a tutor.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation, though this varies based on your baseline math skills and target score. If you're aiming for a score above 160, you'll likely need on the higher end of that range or more intensive study. A typical week might include 8-12 hours of study time split between learning concepts, practicing problems, and taking timed sections. Working with a tutor can compress this timeline by helping you focus on high-impact areas rather than reviewing material you've already mastered, and by providing accountability to maintain consistent study habits.
Plan for one full practice test every 1-2 weeks during your preparation, with the first one serving as a diagnostic to identify your baseline and weak areas. Taking too many practice tests without targeted study in between can lead to diminishing returns, but spacing them out strategically allows you to measure improvement and practice test-day stamina. Between full tests, focus on timed sections and problem sets targeting your specific weak spots. Many students find it helpful to take a full practice test under realistic conditions—quiet room, no interruptions, same time of day as their actual test date—with a tutor or study partner to review mistakes afterward and adjust your strategy.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or experiencing time pressure, both of which improve with targeted practice and confidence-building. Practicing under timed, test-like conditions repeatedly reduces the novelty and stress of the actual exam. Developing a mental strategy—like taking 30 seconds to breathe and refocus when you feel panic, or planning to skip and come back to harder questions—gives you a sense of control. A tutor can help you identify which specific situations trigger anxiety (tough geometry problems, running out of time) and practice concrete strategies to handle them, plus review practice test mistakes without judgment so you build confidence in your problem-solving skills.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in GRE Quantitative test prep for students in Atlanta. A tutor provides personalized 1-on-1 instruction focused on your specific weak areas, whether that's mastering certain problem types or improving your pacing and strategy. Rather than working through a generic curriculum, you'll get a customized study plan based on your practice test results and learning style, plus regular feedback on your progress and real-time help when you get stuck on problems. This targeted approach helps you make the most of your study time and build the confidence you need to perform well on test day.
