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.

Elena

Calculus Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am a graduate of McGill University (BA First Class Honors) and the University of Edinburgh (MSc First Class Honors with Distinction) with over eight years of tutoring experience. I am currently a curriculum developer for a company which creates relatable and culturally-literate courses for middle and high-schools, and am particularly adept at communicating and explaining concepts in a quirky, engaging, and intelligent manner. I was named Scotland International Young Thinker of the Year 2014 for exactly that sort of work. Much of my tutoring background is in test-prep and essay coaching, which I enjoy because it allows the tutor and student to think strategically together, and work as a team to achieve concrete results. I have worked with students ranging in age from 6-32, and believe that, in an educational context, a few jokes never hurt anybody. I love reading and learning, and my educational approach is centered around making the material just as engaging to students as it is to me. I think J.K. Rowlings, the writer of Harry Potter, is just as brilliant as Stephen Hawking, and in my free time, I manage my (terrible) fantasy baseball team, write songs for my comedy band, and crack jokes about terrible science-fiction movies with my friends.

I am a graduate of MIT. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with minors in Management Science and Ancient and Medieval Studies. Since graduation, I have started my PhD at Georgia Tech in Operations Research. Throughout my career I have TA'd several math and computer science courses at the college level. I have also taught at summer programs for gifted middle school and high school students. I am passionate about tutoring kids in math and science because I think that a strong foundation in STEM at an early age can set the tone for their future. In my spare time I like to engage in athletics, and was a Division 1 rower in college. Hobbies: reading, swimming, writing, books, music, running, art

I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more! Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art

Justin

Calculus Tutor • +38 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 PRAXIS Spanish exam assesses all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension. The exam typically includes multiple-choice questions for reading and listening, constructed-response items for writing, and a speaking component where you respond to prompts in real time. Success requires not just grammar knowledge, but the ability to communicate naturally across different contexts—from everyday conversations to academic or professional scenarios. This is why speaking practice is so critical for exam preparation.

The speaking section is often the most challenging part for test-takers because it's hard to practice alone. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction gives you consistent, real-time conversation practice with someone who can immediately correct pronunciation, provide feedback on grammar in context, and help you think quickly in Spanish—skills you simply can't develop through textbooks or apps. Most students benefit from weekly speaking sessions in the months leading up to the exam, with increased frequency closer to test day.

This is a major pain point for PRAXIS test-takers. You can memorize every conjugation table and still freeze during the speaking section because your brain is too busy processing rules instead of communicating. Expert tutors help you move beyond conscious application of grammar to intuitive, automatic language use through guided conversation, contextual practice, and repeated exposure. They'll also teach you when "textbook Spanish" differs from how native speakers actually speak, which matters on the exam.

Pronunciation and accent clarity directly impact your speaking score on PRAXIS. Personalized instruction allows a tutor to listen carefully to your specific pronunciation challenges—whether it's the Spanish 'r', vowel sounds, intonation patterns, or stress—and give you targeted feedback and practice. Unlike language apps, a tutor can model pronunciation in real time, identify exactly where you're diverging from native patterns, and adjust explanations based on your first language. Consistent practice with feedback typically leads to noticeable improvement within weeks.

Vocabulary retention requires more than flashcards—research on spaced repetition and retrieval practice shows that revisiting words in meaningful contexts across multiple sessions creates lasting memory. Expert tutors help you learn thematically connected vocabulary (like academic, professional, or cultural contexts relevant to PRAXIS prompts) and use new words immediately in conversation and writing exercises. This approach embeds vocabulary into your active language use rather than passive recognition, which matters when you're under time pressure on test day.

Yes—PRAXIS reading passages and speaking prompts often include cultural contexts from Spanish-speaking countries, so some cultural familiarity helps. More importantly, understanding cultural nuances affects how you interpret language and respond appropriately. A skilled tutor can weave cultural context into your learning, explain idioms and expressions rooted in culture, and help you understand how Spanish speakers view communication differently. This depth of understanding supports both comprehension and authentic written/spoken responses on the exam.

The best PRAXIS tutors combine native or near-native Spanish fluency with specific knowledge of the exam format and scoring rubrics. They should be able to diagnose your weak areas quickly (is it grammar, vocabulary, fluency, or test strategy?), adapt their teaching to your learning style, and balance focused test prep with natural language development. Look for someone experienced with all four skills, comfortable doing conversation practice, and able to explain not just "what's right" but "why it matters on PRAXIS." Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in exactly this kind of preparation.
