Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Twelfth graders juggle multiple competing demands—AP/IB exams, college applications, standardized tests like the SAT, and maintaining GPA—all while managing senioritis and social pressures. Many struggle with time management across these overlapping deadlines, balancing rigorous coursework with extracurricular commitments, and staying motivated when college decisions feel imminent. After-school tutoring helps seniors prioritize effectively and tackle their most challenging subjects without sacrificing other responsibilities.
Personalized tutoring for 12th graders extends beyond test prep—it builds the critical thinking and writing skills colleges value most. Tutors help seniors strengthen essay writing for applications, develop research skills needed for college-level work, and master complex problem-solving in advanced math and sciences. By working one-on-one, tutors can also help students understand their own learning patterns and build the independence needed to succeed in college coursework.
AP and IB exams require not just content mastery but strategic exam technique—understanding weighted scoring, managing time across multiple sections, and knowing which concepts appear most frequently. Tutors specializing in these exams help seniors practice with released exam materials, identify knowledge gaps early, and develop test-taking strategies specific to each subject. Since exams occur in May, after-school tutoring in fall and winter is crucial for building foundational understanding before intensive review season.
Senior year motivation often dips after college acceptances arrive, making it hard to stay engaged in coursework. Experienced tutors help by connecting academic work to real-world applications, celebrating incremental progress, and creating accountability structures that feel supportive rather than punitive. Personalized instruction also reduces frustration—when students understand material rather than struggling alone, engagement naturally improves and they're more likely to finish the year strong.
Strong 12th grade tutors have subject expertise at the college level, proven success helping students achieve their specific goals (whether that's AP exam scores, college essay writing, or standardized test performance), and the ability to adapt teaching for different learning styles and paces. They should understand the college admissions landscape, be familiar with the specific curriculum and exams their students face, and have experience working with high-achieving students who are balancing multiple advanced courses simultaneously.
Students taking the SAT or ACT for the first time senior year should ideally start tutoring in fall to allow 8-12 weeks of preparation before January or February test dates. This timeline provides enough time to build foundational skills, practice with full-length exams, and refine test-taking strategies without rushing. If a student is retaking the test, tutoring should focus on targeted skill gaps rather than comprehensive review, making it possible to see score improvements in 4-6 weeks of focused work.
Seniors taking multiple AP/IB courses often feel overwhelmed by the volume of material and competing deadlines. Tutors help by breaking complex units into manageable pieces, creating study schedules that prevent last-minute cramming, and teaching efficient note-taking and review techniques. By clarifying difficult concepts quickly in one-on-one sessions, tutors help students study more effectively on their own, freeing up time for other priorities instead of endless solo studying.
Concrete outcomes vary by goal: students preparing for AP exams typically improve from a 3 to a 4 or 5 with consistent tutoring; SAT/ACT test-takers often see 100-200 point improvements; and students working on college essays see clearer, more compelling writing that stands out in applications. Beyond scores, families should expect to see increased confidence, better time management, and a student who feels more prepared for college-level academics by graduation.
