I am a 25 year old flight operations specialist who has been serving in the military for the past 8 years. I am also a proud alumna of Purdue University Global and Southern New Hampshire University where I earned my master's in accounting, with a concentration in Forensic Accounting. Being from a lower class, I've always taken pride in my school and professional work. I value education and I am more than happy to share my knowledge with anyone who's willing to listen and try. There is no doubt that school can be tedious, but everyone has different learning styles, so I find fun and creative ways to learn.

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'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 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.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
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 a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ASVAB math section focuses on practical, real-world mathematical skills rather than advanced theory. Key topics include arithmetic (fractions, decimals, percentages), algebra (solving equations, working with variables), geometry (area, volume, angles), and word problems that require multiple steps to solve. You'll also encounter questions about ratios, proportions, and basic statistics. Understanding these foundational concepts is essential—the ASVAB emphasizes problem-solving ability and the ability to apply math in practical contexts, which is exactly what military roles require.
Word problems require you to translate real-world situations into mathematical equations—a skill that combines reading comprehension with math reasoning. Many students struggle because they jump to solving before identifying what the problem is actually asking. The key is developing a consistent strategy: read carefully, identify what you know and what you need to find, set up the equation, and solve step-by-step. Tutors can help you build confidence with word problems by breaking down this process and working through similar problems repeatedly, which helps you recognize patterns and develop faster problem-solving reflexes.
The timeline depends on your starting point and how often you practice. With consistent, focused tutoring and practice—typically 2-3 sessions per week—many students see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks. If you're addressing gaps in foundational skills like fractions or basic algebra, you may need more time to build that confidence. The most important factor is identifying your specific weak areas early and targeting them directly. Working with a tutor who can diagnose exactly where you're struggling helps you use your study time more efficiently.
The ASVAB includes two math sections: Arithmetic Reasoning (word problems) and Mathematics Knowledge (equations, geometry, and algebra). Questions are presented one at a time, and the difficulty adapts based on your answers—getting questions right makes the next question harder, and vice versa. This adaptive format means you can't skip ahead or go back, so accuracy and pacing matter. Understanding this structure helps you prepare strategically: you need strong fundamentals so you can solve problems confidently under time pressure, and you benefit from practice tests that mimic the real testing experience.
Math anxiety is real and common, especially under timed conditions like the ASVAB. Tutoring helps by building genuine confidence through repeated success. When you work through problems step-by-step with a tutor, you develop a sense of control and competence. You also get to practice problem-solving strategies in a low-pressure environment before facing the real test. Additionally, tutors can teach you techniques for managing test anxiety itself—like how to pace yourself, what to do when you're stuck, and how to stay focused. The combination of skill-building and confidence-building directly addresses test anxiety.
Look for tutors who have specific experience with the ASVAB format and understand the military context—not every math tutor has this background. Your tutor should be able to diagnose your specific weak areas quickly and focus on those rather than reviewing everything. They should explain concepts clearly and be patient, especially if math anxiety is part of your challenge. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in ASVAB math and have proven experience helping students improve their scores. A good tutor will adapt their approach to match how you learn best.
No—the ASVAB does not allow calculators on either the Arithmetic Reasoning or Mathematics Knowledge sections. This means you need to develop strong mental math skills and be comfortable solving problems by hand. The good news is that ASVAB problems are designed to be solvable without a calculator if you understand the concepts and have solid arithmetic skills. Tutoring helps you build these skills and develop efficient problem-solving methods that work within the test constraints. Practice problems without a calculator are essential preparation.
