Alisha
BA Virginia Commonwealth University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am working towards a BFA in Dance and Choreography with minors in Political Science and Psychology. I have served as a TA for a freshman honors writing course at VCU since Fall 2018. I have also assisted and taught children's dance classes. I enjoy babysitting and helping my younger sister with her homework. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Science, and Psychology. I am also happy to help students prepare for Standardized Tests, particularly with the math portions of the exams. I have always felt respect and admiration towards my teachers in both smaller and more grand situations who have shaped me into the lifelong learner that I am. As a tutor, my goal is to make good on this foundation and show students the same courtesy my teachers have shown me.

Current Undergrad Student, English Meredith College
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently studying English literature and secondary education at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. I love Game of Thrones, Warhammer, and YouTube channels about world travel and languages. I am currently learning Spanish and Arabic, and I hope to be fluent in both someday. My biggest bucket list item is to travel to Bolivia and see the Salar de Uyuni. I have had extensive experience as a tutor of all ages, from helping kindergarteners learn to read and write English to working with adult students on their term papers for college. I am available to tutor reading, writing, basic Spanish, SAT/ACT prep, algebra, geometry, and study skills. As your tutor, my goal is to provide you with the tools to catch your own mistakes rather than just correcting them myself. I want to help you grow as a learner so you can use your own strengths to master the material.

Bethany
MS Duke University • BA University of California-Berkeley
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and Duke University. I received my Bachelor's degree in History and my Master's degree in Religious Studies. Since graduation I have tutored students in American History and Biblical Hebrew, which were exceedingly rewarding experiences. I am especially passionate in helping students learn to think critically, and enjoy the process of learning. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most enthusiastic about tutoring in History and Writing because these subjects utilize skills that students will use and cultivate throughout their lives and are applicable for many careers. I would describe my teaching philosophy as hands on and project-based learning. I strive to include fun and relevant videos, songs, and activities into my curriculum to ensure the engagement of my students. Outside of academia I like painting, baking, hiking, photography, and having game nights with friends.

Joseph

Timing is everything on SAT Math, and Joseph teaches students to recognize which problems deserve full work and which can be solved with strategic back-substitution or estimation. His own 1450 SAT score came from the kind of deliberate practice he now applies to quadratic modeling, systems of inequalities, and data interpretation questions. He holds a 5.0 client rating.

Having scored 1470 on the SAT, Michael knows the math section's emphasis on data interpretation, multi-step algebra, and the handful of advanced concepts that separate a good score from a great one.

Jenna
MS North Carolina State University at Raleigh • BA North Carolina State University at Raleigh
9+ Years Tutoring

Jenna scored 1470 on the SAT and knows the math section's particular emphasis on data interpretation, scatterplot analysis, and multi-step word problems. Her master's in math education gives her a toolbox of ways to explain the same concept — so when a student doesn't get the textbook version of a linear modeling question, she has three other angles ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students typically see meaningful gains—often 50-100+ points—within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, especially when combining personalized instruction with regular practice tests. The key is identifying your specific weak areas (algebra, geometry, data analysis, etc.) and targeting those systematically rather than studying everything at once.

The most common struggles are pacing (running out of time), misunderstanding question formats, and gaps in foundational algebra skills. Many students also struggle with the transition from calculator to no-calculator sections, or with word problems that require translating English into mathematical equations. A tutor can help you identify which of these is holding you back and build strategies to address it.

Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring leading up to test day, meeting 1-2 times per week. If you're starting further out or have significant gaps to fill, a longer timeline gives you more room to practice and build confidence. The exact timeline depends on your current level, target score, and how much independent practice you're doing between sessions.

Practice tests are essential—they help you get comfortable with the format, identify pacing issues, and reveal which topics need more work. Taking full, timed practice tests every 2-3 weeks lets you track progress and adjust your study plan. Between full tests, targeted practice on specific question types (grid-ins, word problems, etc.) helps reinforce skills without overwhelming yourself.

Confidence comes from preparation and familiarity. When you work with a tutor, you practice problems repeatedly, learn multiple strategies for each question type, and get comfortable with the test format—all of which reduce anxiety on test day. Tutors also teach time-management and mental strategies to help you stay calm when you encounter a difficult problem.

Look for tutors with strong mathematics backgrounds, proven SAT prep experience, and familiarity with the current test format. Ideally, they should have a track record of helping students improve scores and understand their teaching approach before committing. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in SAT Math and can tailor their approach to your learning style and goals.

The best way is to take a full, timed practice test and review your results carefully—note which question types you missed and whether it was due to careless errors, timing, or not understanding the concept. A tutor can analyze your practice test results with you and create a targeted study plan that prioritizes the areas where you'll gain the most points. This beats studying randomly and wastes less of your prep time.

Your first session is typically an assessment and planning meeting. The tutor will learn about your target score, current strengths and weaknesses, and timeline. They may have you work through a few problems to understand your approach, then outline a personalized study plan focused on the topics and strategies that will help you improve most. This foundation makes all your future sessions more effective.
