Emily
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have! Hobbies: reading, writing, books, traveling, music, art, travel
Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.

Suzanne
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.

Alex
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +31 Subjects
I'm a junior in chemical engineering at ASU Barrett and I specialize in math and physics tutoring. If you need help with any of your math subjects or have trouble with physics and chemistry I'm the one to call. I love working with students and each and everybody's success is my top priority.
Elena
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.
Kate
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +53 Subjects
I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Frequently Asked Questions
The GRE (scored 130-170 per section) is accepted by most graduate programs and emphasizes vocabulary and advanced math concepts, while the GMAT (scored 200-800) is primarily for business school and focuses more on data interpretation and real-world problem-solving. Your target program's requirements will determine which test you need—most MBA programs require the GMAT, while master's programs in STEM, humanities, and social sciences typically accept the GRE. Tutors can help you understand which test aligns with your strengths and program goals.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges on timed graduate tests because you need to balance speed with accuracy—rushing through questions costs you points, but spending too long on difficult ones leaves you without time for easier questions you could answer. A tutor can help you develop section-specific strategies, like learning which question types to tackle first, how to identify when to skip and return to a problem, and how to practice under realistic time constraints. Working through timed practice tests with feedback helps you internalize the rhythm of the exam so you're not making split-second decisions on test day.
Graduate-level reading passages are dense, abstract, and often cover unfamiliar topics (philosophy, science, social theory), making it hard to extract key ideas quickly—and the questions test deep comprehension, not just surface-level details. Tutors teach you to identify passage structure, distinguish main ideas from supporting details, and recognize question patterns so you can answer efficiently without rereading. They also help you build a toolkit for tackling unfamiliar subjects by focusing on the test's logic rather than your background knowledge.
Many graduate test-takers have uneven strengths, and a tutor can diagnose whether your quantitative struggles stem from gaps in foundational math, unfamiliarity with test-specific question formats, or test anxiety. They'll focus on the specific concepts that appear most on your target test (data interpretation, algebra, geometry for GRE; word problems, statistics for GMAT) rather than reviewing all of math. Targeted practice on your weak areas, combined with strategies to manage time on harder questions, can significantly close this gap without requiring you to become a math expert.
Test anxiety often peaks on graduate exams because the stakes feel high and the content is challenging—but tutors help by demystifying the test format, building competence through targeted practice, and normalizing mistakes as part of learning. Repeated exposure to practice tests under realistic conditions reduces anxiety because you know what to expect, and tutors can teach you breathing techniques and mental strategies to stay calm when you encounter a difficult question. Confidence grows when you see measurable score improvements and understand exactly why you're getting questions right, not just guessing.
Practice tests serve two purposes: diagnostic (identifying weak areas early) and confidence-building (simulating test day conditions), so your approach should evolve as you prepare. Early on, take practice tests untimed or with extended time to focus on accuracy and understand question types; as you progress, take full-length tests under strict timing to build stamina and pacing. Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full practice tests spaced throughout their prep, with tutors reviewing your results to pinpoint patterns in your mistakes—whether you're misunderstanding concepts, misreading questions, or running out of time.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and target score, but most students see meaningful gains (50-100 points on the GRE, 50-150 on the GMAT) with 8-12 weeks of focused prep, especially with tutoring. If you're starting from a lower baseline or aiming for a highly competitive score (90th percentile+), you may need 3-6 months because the last 50 points are harder to gain than the first 100. A tutor can give you a realistic timeline after assessing your diagnostic test, identifying your weak areas, and understanding how much time you can dedicate to prep each week.
The Analytical Writing Assessment (GRE) and Integrated Reasoning (GMAT) sections require you to think and write quickly under pressure, which is fundamentally different from the multiple-choice sections—tutors help by teaching you essay structure templates, how to identify flaws in arguments efficiently, and how to organize your thoughts in 30 minutes. Practice with real prompts and getting detailed feedback on your essays (clarity, argument strength, grammar) is essential because you can't improve without seeing where your reasoning breaks down. Many students neglect these sections, but tutors can help you develop reliable strategies that boost your score without requiring you to be a perfect writer.
