I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

As a med student at Thomas Jefferson, Nishad reads dense scientific passages under time pressure every day — the same core skill the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section tests with unfamiliar social science and natural science passages. His 1580 SAT means he's already dominated the test the PSAT is built from, and his premed background keeps him sharp on the quantitative side, particularly the data-interpretation and Heart of Algebra questions that make up the bulk of the math sections.

I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.

I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

I am friendly, reliable, and most importantlycommitted to helping you learn! It is my top priority to create a positive learning experience that will help boost your test scores without boring you to tears. After all, shouldn't learning be fun?

I am a rising fourth-year medical student at Perelman SOM at the University of Pennsylvania currently taking time off from school. I am a Yale 2014 graduate (B.S. in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry). I spent my gap year doing wet lab research in a biochemistry lab at the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, My parents are both university math professors with a natural gift for teaching that I believe they passed on to me. I hope to apply for residency in Internal Medicine or Psychiatry and down the line in my career to teach medical students while practicing in and academic or private-practice setting. I specialize in MCAT testing but am hoping to tutor for the SAT as well, and possibly AP exams. In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, running, working out, playing video games, and dabbling in random hobbies (most recently crochet!).

I'm currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Temple University. I love working with children and young adults, and I'm thrilled to be spending some time tutoring this spring.

I'm a recent graduate from Brown University where I studied Linguistics and French. I teach French at all levels, including AP and SAT subject test prep. I started learning French when I was 5 and it's been an important part of my life so I hope to help others appreciate the language as much as I do! I studied abroad in Senegal, West Africa where I spoke nothing but French for a semester. In college I was a French TA for several semesters.

Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Rachel already mastered the PSAT's content at a level well beyond what the test demands — the same question types, passage structures, and math concepts appear on both exams. She breaks the PSAT into repeatable strategies for evidence-based reading pairs, command-of-evidence questions, and the no-calculator math section so students build confidence before the real stakes of the SAT arrive.

I am a senior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania studying Finance and Operations & Information Management. I am an Executive Board Member of one of the largest community service groups on campus, the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project, so I have had plenty of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math in the Philadelphia area. Prior to my experience tutoring in Philadelphia, I ran an online writing program teaching essential writing skills to elementary school students and served as an Algebra I instructor at a local community center. I enjoy tutoring math up to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and editing essays (including college essays) because helping students build math foundations that will help them for the rest of their life is rewarding and I greatly enjoy editing essays! I have a very flexible tutoring style - I am approachable and willing to answer any questions related to the material. Hopefully, I can explain things as simply as possible so they stick. Outside of school, I enjoy piano, dancing, visiting museums, art, and discovering new foods and restaurants. Looking forward to tutoring!

I'm interested in running, reading, and teaching overseas someday in the future.

Juliette's strongest PSAT edge is on the Writing and Language section, where her background in French, literature, and essay editing means she instinctively spots the grammar-in-context and sentence-structure questions that slow other students down. She scored 1480 on the SAT and teaches the reading passages by training students to track an author's central claim before even glancing at the questions — a habit that cuts second-guessing dramatically. Rated 5.0 by students.

Jackson's Environmental Studies major at Oberlin required constant synthesis of scientific data and policy arguments — two skills that map directly onto the PSAT's evidence-based reading passages and data-interpretation math questions. His 1550 SAT means he's already mastered the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and his additional depth in writing and humanities lets him walk students through the Writing and Language section's trickiest context-dependent grammar and rhetoric questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am an avid student and teacher in science, business and the humanities. I look forward to speaking with you!

I am currently a second year medical student. I was a Physiological Sciences major at UCLA (class of 2015), and pursued research during my gap year between undergrad and medical school.

I am a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania studying Political Science and Marketing. I would love to help you in anything from ACT/SAT prep to Mandarin!

I'm Alex, a 28-year old with a passion for teaching science and for helping students conquer standardized tests. Since I began working as a physics, math, and SAT tutor with Varsity Tutors in 2011, I've found it incredibly rewarding to help my students develop sustainable study habits and realize their academic potential. I believe that a student's performance is largely influenced by their weekly study routine, and I make it a priority to help my students figure out a process that works well for them.

I am well schooled in academic writing and reading comprehension; furthermore, I have honed my ability to write pointed, direct essays for both applications and classes. After studying French in high school, I went on to spend over six months in France working on archaeological excavations. As a previous educator for high school students, I am versed in different learning styles and can't wait to work with more. It sounds trite, but it's true--I love teaching, and consider it both a privilege and a real pleasure. I look forward to helping more students achieve their academic goals!

I am a first year medical student who is excited to teach others! I would love to help anyone who needs help with tutoring in the sciences or SAT prep. I have a very flexible schedule so I am willing to work around other students' schedules. I can't wait to help!

Studying linguistics at Yale means William spends his days dissecting how language works at a structural level — exactly the skill the PSAT's Writing and Language section tests when it asks students to fix grammar-in-context and evaluate sentence-level rhetorical choices. His 1580 SAT and 35 ACT show he's mastered both major test architectures the PSAT draws from, and his theater training makes him unusually good at reading passages aloud in his head for tone and emphasis, which speeds up the evidence-based reading questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am dedicated to helping both struggling and thriving students excel in the subject in question. While I will work closely with my tutees, I will never just tell them how to answer a problem. Making sure the student is able to solve the problem on his own and understand why this method of solution works is how the subjects can be mastered.

Stephanie's Cinema and Media Studies and English Literature degrees mean she's spent years doing exactly what the PSAT's reading passages demand — analyzing how authors structure arguments, deploy rhetorical techniques, and use evidence to support claims across complex texts. Her 1510 SAT confirms she knows the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and her strength in the Writing and Language section comes from treating grammar questions as editing exercises rather than isolated rules.

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Neuroscience and an informal concentration in Artificial Intelligence. I also have a degree in Medicine from St. George's University. I have pursued biomedical research, and since turned an interest in tutoring that began while I was a student into a professional calling. I have tutored for a private tutoring company, for schools as a student tutor, and privately for individuals. While I am exceptionally well versed in Math and the Sciences, I also excel in Reading Comprehension, Writing, and have successfully tutored those subjects.

I am passionate about teaching and tutoring and I thoroughly enjoy helping students gain an understanding and a drive for their studies. I have a long history of working with students of all grade levels and abilities (elementary school through college), and I have a good understanding of strategies to excel in both general academics and standardized tests.

I am a recent graduate of Drexel University, in which I obtained a BS in Biological Sciences with a concentration in organismal physiology. During my college years, I was a peer tutor who would help struggling classmates in many math and science subjects. I also served as a merit badge counselor in my Boy Scout troop, teaching scouts (ages 12-17) in subjects such as First Aid and Emergency Preparedness. These experiences inspired me to continue this passion, striving to make learning a fun, insightful, and a lifelong process while helping students learn in the easiest and most effective way possible. My favorite subject to teach is math, specifically the SAT/ACT math sections. As someone who values education and intellectual curiosity, I hope to impose this same philosophy on my students. In my 7+ months working with Varsity Tutors, I have found profound satisfaction in helping students to the top of their class and increasing their test scores. I am a very flexible tutor willing to work around students' schedules.

I am experienced in a broad range of subjects. I am enthusiastic about helping students to learn course material ranging from Biology and Chemistry to English and Writing.

I'm a senior undergraduate at Yale University studying biomedical engineering and will be starting my Ph.D next year. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and have travelled to a few other countries through study abroad programs and international conferences. I've been to China several times and love to practice my Chinese with others!

I am currently a senior studying at Swarthmore College with a double major in chemistry and mathematics. I have tutored college and high school students in many topics including organic chemistry, calculus, trigonometry, algebra and general chemistry. I have also tutored students in the SAT verbal and math sections, as well as the math subject tests. My favorite subjects to tutor are SAT math, general chemistry and calculus.

Jacob's astrophysics degree built the kind of quantitative fluency that makes the PSAT's no-calculator section straightforward — but what sets him apart is his genuine skill with language, which means he tackles the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections with the same precision he brings to algebra and data analysis. His 1550 SAT confirms he can perform across both halves of the test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and his ability to translate between scientific and literary thinking makes him especially effective with students who feel lopsided in one direction.

I'm Sophie, and I'm a medical student with a passion for teaching. I want to work with patients, but my other goal is to go into academic medicine. I can't picture my present or future without education in it. I began tutoring for my little sister when both of us were in high school, helping her with math, English, science, and Spanish. In college, I started branching out to tutor friends. In 2019 I began volunteer tutoring for my college's chemistry department, and soon after, I took on a job at a local tutoring center teaching biology and chemistry (and occasionally physics and math) to high school students. Since taking the MCAT and scoring 99th percentile, I started tutoring for that as well. Biology and chemistry are my main teaching areas: chemistry because I've had the most tutoring experience in it, and biology because I have practical experience through lab research and patient care. I can also teach math or physics (I used to be an engineering student so I know those subjects well). I pride myself on bringing a real passion for the subjects I teach. I also strive to abolish simple; disjointed memorization and help my students see their subject matter through a logical, problem-solving oriented lens. I look forward to learning with you!

I am happy when my student completely understands the material. I highly discourage memorization.

I am a certified teacher, qualified to teach Social Studies, Math, and English in grades 7 through 12. With four years of substitute teaching and other classroom experience, as well as many years of tutoring in various subject areas, I am a seasoned and versatile tutor. Not only have I taught math and science classes at a non-public high school, I have also led SAT-prep classes and instructed students privately in reading, writing, math, and in preparation for a variety of standardized tests (ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, GED). Besides my years of experience and deep content knowledge, my strength as a tutor stems from an intuitive understanding of how to connect with students and explain content in creative ways. I work very hard to bring that "Aha!" moment to students. I love teaching and being involved in the field of education -- I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing with my life!

I am currently pursuing a computer science post-baccalaureate degree at Penn.

I am deeply passionate about tutoring and teaching more generally. Knowledge has allowed us to build skyscrapers and fly to the moon, and to learn more about the human condition - it is my ultimate aim to be a clear, concise, and motivating educator.

At Penn, Devan's political science coursework means dissecting dense policy arguments and weighing competing evidence daily — the same mental moves the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section tests when it asks students to identify how an author supports a claim across paired passages. A 1590 SAT means he's already near-perfectly navigated the test the PSAT mirrors, and he applies that command of both the reading and math sides to teach students where they're actually losing points versus where they just think they are.

I'm a senior at Penn who has been tutoring for 5+ years. I love meeting new students and trying my best to solve not only student's current academic and personal goals, but I also try to help them build the skills they need to succeed in the future. I believe everyone has the ability to learn anything they want; the key is practice and hard work. I also recognize that everyone is different so I try to tailor my tutoring to the student's style and needs!

I am currently getting my Masters in Public Health at Thomas Jefferson University and will begin medical school at Jefferson in 2013. Having been a mentor and tutor with a handful of organizations, I am able to engage with students of all levels. I look forward to working with you!

I'm pursuing my MFA in movement-based ensemble theater with a focus on acrobatics. From this work I've cultivated a fiery curiosity that I strive to fuel within the high school- and college-aged students I coach, challenging them to develop not just aptitude but passion for their studies. I tutor various levels in Mandarin Chinese, Test Prep, Mathematics, and English, with a particular love for critical reading and writing of dramatic literature. Balancing process and structure is key for me so I make sure we start each session by setting goals for that session and then returning to them at the end, thereby ensuring the student can point to a measure of accomplishment within our time together. Aside from front handsprings, I absolutely love fantasy novels, science fiction and video games, particularly RPGs and survival horror. I'm always thinking about my next camping trip and when I'll make the time to get my motorcycle license.

I am an avid crafter. In particular, glassblowing--scorching! thrilling! gorgeous!--will always be the love of my life. I also love the calm meditation of making ceramics. Give me a pottery wheel, and I could stay there all day. In fact, every craft has its charms--I also love jewelry-making, knitting, crocheting, sewing, origami, polymer clay, welding, woodworking, and so much more.

I am a recent graduate of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Womens & Gender Studies. Having been a science nerd throughout high school, I knew that I would want to study biochemistry at university, but I also wanted to strengthen my writing, analytical, and research abilities in a non-scientific context. So focusing on both was perfect for me because I was able to develop analytical and problem-solving skills in two very different contexts. Having this background also allows me to feel comfortable tutoring a range of subjects.
