Dartmouth's rigorous liberal arts curriculum gave Arianna deep exposure to French language and culture, and she brings that academic foundation to AP exam preparation. She walks students through the interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational communication modes the exam tests, with particular attention to the cultural comparison essay and audio-source synthesis that trip up most test-takers.

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'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 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 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 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 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 comfortable tutoring math subjects up to multivariable calculus and differential equations, as well as college physics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Most students who work with tutors on AP French see meaningful gains by focusing on their weakest section—whether that's the free response writing, listening comprehension, or reading. A tutor can help you identify which areas need the most work and create a targeted study plan, typically leading to 1-3 point improvements on the 1-5 AP scale when combined with consistent practice over several months.
Yes, tutors can guide you through all components of the AP French exam: interpersonal communication, presentational speaking and writing, and interpretive reading and listening. Tutors work with you on the specific themes and contexts tested by the College Board, helping you develop the vocabulary, grammar accuracy, and cultural knowledge needed across all exam sections. They'll also help you understand the rubrics used to score the free response portions so you know exactly what evaluators are looking for.
Many students struggle with the timed free response sections—especially the persuasive essay and conversation simulations—because they require quick thinking and accurate production under pressure. The listening comprehension section also trips up students who haven't trained their ear to recognize natural speech patterns and regional accents. A tutor can help you practice these high-pressure scenarios repeatedly, build your speaking confidence, and develop strategies for managing test anxiety so you perform at your best on exam day.
Tutors teach you how to manage the exam's timing constraints, prioritize which sections to tackle first based on your strengths, and approach each question type strategically. For example, they'll show you how to skim reading passages for key information before diving into questions, how to take notes efficiently during listening sections, and how to structure your free response essays to maximize points. They'll also help you practice with actual AP exam formats so test day feels familiar rather than overwhelming.
Your first session is focused on assessment and planning. A tutor will evaluate your current French proficiency level, review which AP exam sections you find most challenging, and discuss your target score. They'll likely give you a practice test or sample questions to gauge your strengths and weaknesses, then create a personalized study roadmap tailored to your timeline and goals. This foundation ensures every session after that is strategically focused on moving you closer to your score target.
Tutors who work with Varsity Tutors on AP French typically have advanced proficiency in French (often native speakers or near-native speakers), experience with the AP curriculum and exam format, and a track record of helping students improve their scores. Many have taught AP French in schools or have extensive tutoring experience. When you connect with a tutor, you'll learn about their specific background, teaching approach, and experience with AP exam preparation so you can find the right fit for your learning style.
Practice tests are essential—they help you understand the exam format, identify weak areas, and build test-taking stamina. Tutors typically use official College Board practice materials and real past AP exams to simulate actual testing conditions. By taking timed practice tests regularly and reviewing your performance with a tutor, you'll see exactly where you're losing points and can focus your study efforts accordingly. This data-driven approach is far more effective than studying randomly.
Most students benefit from starting tutoring 3-4 months before the exam, though this varies based on your current level and target score. If you're a strong student aiming to move from a 3 to a 4 or 5, you might need fewer months of focused work. If you're starting from a lower baseline, beginning earlier gives you time to build foundational skills before tackling advanced test-taking strategies. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on where you're starting and what you're aiming for.
