I am a graduate of Brooklyn Law School and the New England Conservatory of Music. While I enjoy being a lawyer, I have always had a passion for education and teaching. For five years, I taught in the Music Business program at Belmont University. I tutor in the following subjects: English, Writing, High School English, High School Writing, College English, Music, Music Theory. I also help law students prepare for the Bar Exam.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
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 graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
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!
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.
I'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.

Frequently Asked Questions
Connecticut Bar Exam test-takers most commonly struggle with Evidence, Civil Procedure, and Connecticut-specific substantive law topics like Connecticut family law and real property rules that differ from the Model Rules. Many candidates also find the Connecticut Constitutional Law section challenging because it requires understanding how Connecticut courts have interpreted state constitutional protections differently than federal precedent. Personalized instruction helps by targeting these weak areas with focused practice and explaining the Connecticut-specific nuances that generic bar prep materials often overlook.
Connecticut Bar Exam essays require not just legal knowledge but precise application of Connecticut statutes and case law within tight time constraints. A tutor can teach you the specific essay-writing framework Connecticut graders expect, help you identify which Connecticut law applies quickly, and provide targeted feedback on your written analysis. Through repeated practice essays with personalized review, you'll develop the pattern recognition skills needed to score higher on Connecticut's fact-pattern questions, where missing a subtle Connecticut-specific rule can cost significant points.
The Connecticut Bar Exam's MBE section tests national law, but Connecticut test-takers often underestimate how state-specific nuances appear in the questions. A tutor can help you distinguish between national rules and Connecticut exceptions, develop efficient time management for the 200-question section, and use targeted practice testing to identify whether your gaps are conceptual or strategy-based. Many successful test-takers benefit from drilling high-difficulty MBE questions alongside Connecticut-specific essay practice to build the dual competency the exam requires.
An excellent Connecticut Bar Exam tutor should be licensed to practice in Connecticut or have deep familiarity with Connecticut's substantive law, court rules, and bar exam format. They should have recent bar exam experience, understand the specific Connecticut law sections that appear on the exam, and ideally have a track record helping students master Connecticut-specific topics like Connecticut family law statutes and Connecticut real property rules. Look for tutors who can explain not just the rules but the reasoning behind Connecticut courts' interpretations, which helps you apply law to novel fact patterns on test day.
Connecticut Bar Exam success depends heavily on allocating time wisely across essays, the MBE, and Connecticut-specific sections. A tutor can analyze your practice test performance to identify whether you're spending too long on certain question types, help you develop a personalized pacing strategy based on your strengths, and teach you how to quickly recognize which Connecticut law applies so you don't waste time on irrelevant rules. Through timed practice sessions with real feedback, you'll build the automaticity needed to manage the exam's compressed timeline.
Measurable improvement typically appears within 4-6 weeks of focused tutoring, with most students seeing 10-15 point increases on full-length practice exams as they master Connecticut-specific content and refine their essay-writing approach. The biggest gains come from targeted work on your lowest-performing areas—whether that's Evidence application, Connecticut procedure rules, or time management—combined with consistent practice testing. Students who work with a tutor often report greater confidence identifying Connecticut law issues quickly and more consistent scoring across multiple practice exams, which are strong predictors of improved bar exam performance.
The answer depends on your diagnostic performance, but most candidates benefit from balanced preparation because Connecticut essays and the MBE test different skills. Essays reward deep analysis of Connecticut-specific law and thorough rule application, while the MBE tests quick recognition and efficient elimination. A tutor can review your practice test results to determine whether you're losing more points to essay weaknesses (unclear analysis, missing Connecticut rules) or MBE gaps (conceptual misunderstanding, timing issues), then create a customized study plan that allocates time proportionally to your needs.
Tutoring works best as a complement to bar prep, not a replacement. While bar prep courses provide broad coverage of national law and Connecticut-specific content, a tutor offers personalized diagnosis of your weak areas and targeted instruction on the Connecticut rules and essay techniques that generic bar prep can't fully address. Many students use bar prep for initial learning, then work with a tutor on practice essays, high-difficulty MBE questions, and Connecticut-specific topics where they're underperforming—creating a more efficient, focused study approach than either alone.
