I'm an undergraduate at Columbia College. I love tutoring students in math, German, SHSAT, and SAT. I believe that I have good communication and pedagogical skills, and a firm understanding of the subject matter. Having come from Germany at the age of eleven, I know the frustration that can come with feeling overwhelmed by coursework. I performed well on standardized exams like the SHSAT and the SAT and can teach test-taking skills that will ultimately lead students to institutions like Stuyvesant H.S. and Columbia.

I am Ivy League educated and have the tools to help students achieve academic success. I am committed to education and inspiring students to achieve a lifelong love of learning and confidence from realizing they can achieve their goals.
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 new graduate of Pomona College, in Claremont, CA, where I studied Religion and Philosophy. While there, I wrote many papers of a wide variety, working on strong arguments, organization, and phrasing. I peer edited as well as volunteering with groups that mentored high school students, focusing on college admissions work, continuing and expanding my experiences from high school of tutoring for standardized testing. Additionally, I taught beginning violin to younger children.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.
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 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 currently attending New York University where I am pursuing a degree in Finance and Statistics. I have previous experience tutoring individuals in math, a subject I have always excelled at academically. My knowledge and interest in mathematics, makes it easy for me to frame and deconstruct seemingly complicated concepts and theories in ways students will be able to understand and remember. Outside of academia I enjoy playing tennis, going to movies, and spending time with friends and family.
I am in the process of selecting a masters program in education that will begin this summer. I have 2 years experience doing 1 on 1 tutoring and it is very effective compared to classroom teaching because there is only one student to focus on. I look forward to working with you and helping you or your child get better. Always remember, even the best of us need help and support from others to be successful.
I am a Penn State Graduate (B.S.) and am currently a student at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Jefferson University. My goal as a tutor is to help make the subjects I love approachable to other students, and to teach the study techniques that have served me well in school. I have tutored people in Biology, Physiology, general and Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Writing proficiency, and Physics. I also teach SHSAT prep to 7th graders. I am qualified to teach strategy and content for the SAT and MCAT, as well as high school Science, Writing, and Math classes. My greatest strength as a tutor is my ability to simplify abstract concepts using analogies and real-life comparisons so that anybody can learn them. Showing students how their studies relate to the rest of the world is the best way to create long term interest and understanding. My main focus is typically "teaching toward the test," as making sure my students get the grades they need is always the priority.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study intensity, but most students see meaningful gains with personalized instruction focused on their weak areas. Many students improve by 10-15 points or more when they work with tutors to identify gaps in logic games, reading comprehension, or logical reasoning—the three sections that make up the test. The key is targeted practice combined with strategic feedback on why you're missing questions, not just how many.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand and where you want to go. A tutor will likely review your diagnostic test results, discuss your target law schools and score goals, and identify which sections (logic games, reading comprehension, or logical reasoning) need the most work. This assessment helps create a personalized study plan tailored to your specific challenges rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Logic games require a different skill set than most students have practiced—they demand spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and the ability to work through complex conditional statements under time pressure. Many students struggle because they try to memorize game types rather than understanding the underlying logical structure. Working with a tutor on diagramming techniques and practice strategies can transform logic games from your biggest weakness into a strength.
Most students benefit from taking 15-20 full practice tests under timed conditions leading up to test day, spacing them out over several weeks to allow for review and skill-building between attempts. Rather than rushing through tests, the real value comes from analyzing every single question you miss—understanding not just what the right answer is, but why you fell for the trap answers. A tutor can help you develop this analytical review process so each practice test makes you stronger.
Pacing is about knowing when to move on and when to invest time, which varies by section and by you as a test-taker. For logic games, most students need 8-9 minutes per game; for reading comprehension, about 8-9 minutes per passage; for logical reasoning, roughly 1.5 minutes per question. A tutor can help you practice strategic skipping, identify which question types slow you down, and build the confidence to make quick decisions under pressure rather than second-guessing yourself.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about your approach—which is why personalized tutoring that builds genuine confidence in your strategy and skills is so effective. Beyond preparation, techniques like timed practice sessions, reviewing past performance to see real improvement, and developing a calm pre-test routine all help. Many students also benefit from discussing their specific anxiety triggers with a tutor who can offer targeted mental strategies for test day.
Effective reading comprehension on the LSAT is about active reading—identifying the main point, author's tone, and logical structure as you go, rather than passively reading and then hunting for answers. Many students waste time by reading too slowly or rereading passages multiple times. A tutor can teach you how to annotate strategically, predict answer choices before looking at options, and tackle different passage types (comparative, dense theory, narrative) with tailored approaches that fit your reading style.
Look for tutors with strong LSAT scores themselves, ideally in the 170+ range, combined with teaching experience that shows they understand how students think and where they commonly struggle. Beyond raw scores, the best tutors know the test inside and out—they can explain why each answer choice works or doesn't, adapt their teaching to your learning style, and help you develop a personal strategy rather than just drilling problems. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who meet these standards and can work with your schedule for students in Manhattan.
