I'm a computer science major at Penn State with a lot of application-oriented programming experience, but also academic experience. Some highlights include 1560 on the SAT and 5 on AP Comp Sci A.

I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.
I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.
I am a member of the Brown Class of 2018, pursuing a bachelors degree in mathematics. I graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2014. (I am able to help anyone with the boarding school admissions process.) Outside of academia, I pursue my passions in dance, travel, volunteering, reading and art. My tutoring subjects are mathematics (from elementary school to college level) and standardized testing (SAT, SAT subject tests, PSAT, and SSAT). I have tutored mainly high school students in the New York State Regents exams and AP Calculus, although I also have experience with students in middle and elementary school. Since I have been through many school systems, including public, private, studying abroad, and boarding school, I have learned many different techniques and can attack a problem from various angles. Ultimately, my teaching style is full of tips and tricks to break down complicated topics into simple, more understandable ideas.
I'm a senior at Brown University in the Program of Liberal Medical Education (PLME). I have over three years of experience working with college application consulting with a specialty in BS/MD programs and experience in tutoring with the SAT, having scored a 2400. I'm excited to work with you and your family on making the most out of the time you have to prepare for test taking, and am also open to conversations about the university application experience.
I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.
I'm a current medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine with undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee in chemical engineering and anthropology. I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching since 2010, and am ready to help you with your learning needs! I focus on standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and also tutor in a wide range of math, English, and Spanish classes. In my free time, I like to run, do CrossFit, volunteer, and watch TV!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific, formulaic kinds of questions, but also imparts the skills necessary for adapting to the diverse intellectual challenges that life presents. My goal is always for my students to leave their sessions having learned something that will be useful for years to come, not just on the next test that they are preparing for. After all, education is a lifelong process!
I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.
I am a junior studying Writing for Screen and Television at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. For the past two spring semesters I worked as a CollegeSpring Mentor, tutoring Green Dot Charter high school juniors for the SAT and teaching them predatory skills for college. In addition to my experience tutoring for the SAT, as a screenwriting major I most enjoy teaching my favorite subject, English. I love showing students the power language endows upon them to communicate their ideas and beliefs with others. I believe every student deserves the chance to succeed and to try to capitalize on their strengths while encouraging them to improve in areas they may traditionally find challenging. Endowing a student with confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but also show improved confidence and happiness is the most rewarding part of my job.
I am a student at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Neuroscience while on the pre-med track. In the future, I hope to become a pediatrician. I have experience with and tutor in a wide range of subjects, and am most passionate about helping students with standardized exams. I know from personal experience that any exam score can be improved with studying and practice, no matter how frustrating or impossible it may seem. As a tutor, my goal is to listen to and address my students' needs as thoroughly as possible. Outside of academics, I love to fold origami, watch Criminal Minds, and hang out with my dog.
I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Logical Reasoning questions require you to identify argument structures, spot logical flaws, and make inferences under time pressure—all while managing the test's demanding pace. Many students struggle with distinguishing between similar answer choices, misidentifying the argument's conclusion, or spending too much time on harder questions. Personalized tutoring helps you develop a systematic approach to each question type and build the confidence to work through them efficiently.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused practice. Some students improve by 5-10 scaled points on the section, while others see even larger jumps by mastering question-type patterns and eliminating careless errors. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can identify your specific weaknesses and create a targeted study plan to maximize your progress.
Timing issues usually stem from either spending too long on difficult questions or not reading carefully enough the first time, leading to re-reads. Expert tutors teach you to recognize question types quickly, prioritize easier questions first, and develop a consistent process for harder ones. With practice tests and timed drills, you'll build the speed and accuracy needed to complete all 25-26 questions in the 35-minute section.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current level and identifying patterns in your mistakes. You'll likely take a diagnostic Logical Reasoning section or review recent practice work to pinpoint whether you struggle with specific question types (like weaken/strengthen, assumption, or flaw questions), timing, or test anxiety. From there, your tutor will create a personalized plan that targets your weaknesses while building on your strengths.
Practice tests are essential—they simulate real test conditions, reveal your weak areas, and help you build stamina for the full LSAT. Taking full practice sections under timed conditions shows you exactly where you're making errors and whether it's a timing issue or a conceptual misunderstanding. Tutors use practice test results to guide your study plan and track progress over time, ensuring you're improving consistently toward your target score.
The LSAT features about 10 core Logical Reasoning question types, including Weaken, Strengthen, Assumption, Flaw, Main Point, and Inference questions. Each type requires a different analytical approach, and mastering the patterns behind them is key to faster, more accurate answers. Personalized tutoring breaks down each question type with clear strategies and targeted practice so you can recognize and solve them confidently on test day.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about your abilities or unfamiliarity with question formats. By working through hundreds of practice questions and building a solid process for each question type, you develop confidence that carries into the real test. Tutors also teach stress-management strategies and help you practice under realistic timed conditions so that test day feels familiar rather than overwhelming.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused LSAT prep, with Logical Reasoning typically receiving significant attention throughout. The exact timeline depends on your target score and starting point—students aiming for competitive law school scores often spend 3-4 months on comprehensive preparation. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule that balances Logical Reasoning with Reading Comprehension and Logic Games while building in time for full practice tests.
