I am looking forward to working with students eager to achieve.

I am currently running the head of math department and testing coordinator at my current school this school year. I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's degree in educational leadership. I am a dedicated, resourceful and goal-driven professional educator with a solid commitment to the social and academic growth and development of every child to improve their learning process in the classroom. I am also Mathcounts and FTC robotics coach since 2015. I would like to better assist you to improve your math skills to be more successful in your education life.
Math has been my passion ever since high school - from earning 1st place nationally in Calculus and Linear Algebra, to competing on the AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME exams. At Princeton, I tutored peers in Multivariable Calculus, and since then I've worked with middle school through college students in Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Calculus, and SAT/GRE quantitative prep. I'm dedicated to simplifying complex ideas and helping students build confidence in their own problem-solving skills! I also built my first artificial intelligence tool in 2018, and currently enjoy helping integrate LLMs and Agents for companies!
I am about to begin graduate school as a PhD Student in Condensed Matter Physics. I am currently working at an experimental physics lab at the University of Maryland, College Park.
I am a retired math teacher, who just has too much time on her hands!!!
I'm patient, personable, and have an incredible gift for explaining things in a way that makes sense. I majored in Math Education (with a minor in Computer Science), and I have more than eight years of experience teaching math and other STEM subjects.
I am a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures with a focus on Russian, Russian Literature, and International Relations. Since graduating, I have worked at a YMCA Learning Center as a Preschool Teacher Assistant, camp counselor, after-school counselor, art program leader and childcare provider for all ages. I tutored children (K-8) in the after-school program in all subjects, overseeing study time and assisting students with homework. I also worked as a data analyst for the Data Recognition Corporation: reading, assessing and scoring standardized tests in a variety of subjects for grades K-12. I worked on WIDA projects where I evaluated and scored English proficiency tests (verbal and written) for multilingual learners. As a WIDA analyst, I gained insight into the national system of standardized testing. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am especially interested in Literature, Language, History and Philosophy. I am passionate about teaching and about learning, and I firmly believe that the pursuit of knowledge is lifelong.
I am happy to tutor for Varsity Tutors. I study English literature and philosophy, so reading and writing are my strongest suits, but I am glad to help in any of my listed subjects. Please send me a message to let me know how I can be of assistance!
I am a recent college graduate with a goal of becoming a physician. I majored in Neuroscience and and have a passion for math as well. I think a good way to help students learn is to get them to stay motivated by being encouraging and showing them the fun in learning. Everything may seem hard at first, but hard work really does pay off in the end. I think the best way to learn is to be open minded and willing to learn.
I am an incredibly dedicated tutor with years of experience and education to help students reach their academic goals. Beginning in high school, I tutored elementary through high school students in mathematics and the sciences. In college, I taught a weekly class to local high school students interested in learning about neuroscience. Since college, I have continued tutoring students on a weekly basis in a wide variety of subjects.
I am pursuing an accelerated Master's Degree in Economics, and a Bachelor's in Chinese language at the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College. I have been pursuing my passion for teaching and tutoring for over four years. I have taught both privately and in group settings on subjects such as Calculus, Economics, SAT, Math, and much more! I am great with any type of standardized testing: specifically, SAT, SAT II on Math 1 and 2, and HSPT. I genuinely love tutoring these subjects as well as math and writing. I believe strongly that my role as a tutor is to help my students approach the material with an anxiety-free, systematic approach. I know just how to make the testing environment one where a student feels both perfectly at ease and well equipped to succeed. I know first hand that testing and learning can be all too ridden with stress and have great techniques to reduce that. My approach to teaching is simple: kindness, calmness, clarity, and fun. I keep my students consistently engaged with questions. I know how to rephrase questions and bring them back in ways that each student is interested in to see maximum results. Most importantly, I find ways to make the material interesting and easily relatable to my students. A personal investment in material is a great way to see progress!

Frequently Asked Questions
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a standardized entrance exam used by many private and Catholic schools in Louisiana to assess student readiness for high school coursework. For students in Baton Rouge seeking admission to selective high schools, strong HSPT performance is often a key factor in acceptance decisions and course placement.
The HSPT consists of five sections: Verbal Skills, Quantitative Skills, Reading, Mathematics, and Language. Each section is scored on a scale of 1-9, with a composite score ranging from 200-800. Most schools focus on the composite score, though some review individual section performance to determine placement in honors or accelerated classes.
Many students struggle with the pacing of the HSPT—it's designed to be completed quickly, which can lead to careless mistakes even when students know the material. Verbal Skills and Quantitative Reasoning sections often challenge students because they require both content knowledge and strategic test-taking skills. Personalized tutoring helps students build confidence, develop efficient problem-solving strategies, and practice under timed conditions to overcome these obstacles.
Classroom settings typically follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum, while personalized 1-on-1 instruction focuses specifically on your student's strengths and weaknesses. Tutors can identify exactly which question types cause difficulty, adjust pacing to match your student's learning speed, and provide targeted practice on weak areas—resulting in more efficient preparation and faster score improvement.
During an initial session, a tutor will typically assess your student's current skill level through diagnostic questions, discuss goals and timeline, and identify specific areas needing improvement. This foundation allows the tutor to create a customized study plan tailored to your student's needs and target score.
Most students benefit from starting preparation 2-3 months before their test date, with sessions 1-2 times per week. However, timeline varies based on starting level and target score—some students see meaningful improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, while others benefit from longer preparation. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can create a realistic timeline based on your student's specific situation.
Tutors working with Varsity Tutors have strong backgrounds in standardized test preparation and typically have extensive experience helping students improve HSPT scores. Many have taught in schools, worked as test prep specialists, or have personal experience with the exam. When you connect with a tutor, you can review their qualifications and experience to ensure they're the right fit for your student.
Score improvement depends on starting point, effort, and preparation time, but students working with personalized tutors typically see gains of 50-150 composite points. The most significant improvements come from targeted practice on weak sections combined with strategic test-taking techniques. Your tutor will help set realistic goals and track progress throughout your preparation.
