I am passionate about making life easier for others by passing on what I've learned! Paying it forward, so to speak. I have experience tutoring children and adults. I have taken and passed the bar exam. I have vast experience with writing and editing. I'm also a mom of three, so I understand what it takes to maximize your time. I can be your biggest cheerleader while being your fiercest accountability partner. If this sounds like a good match for you, I look forward to working with you!

I am ready to help you succeed! If you're trying to achieve your goals, I totally understand your desire to learn and the need to have someone there to help you out. I couldn't keep up with the class as a kid. After a few years, I had developed the ability to focus and organize myself so that I would be able to succeed in the classroom in college. Lifelong learning is a habit that can be developed and appreciated. It doesn't matter whether I had a billion dollars or not, I would still want to teach and discover something new every day. In my experience listening to my students and understanding how they wish to learn is one of the best ways to help them reach their academic goals. The degrees I hold are in Theatre, Film, and Interactive Media. Over the course of my academic career I have studied literature, writing, and other languages. I have also received a certification from Harvard University in Shakespeare's Life and Work. I am an expert in language and theatre arts with an affinity for the classics. I firmly believe that being able to comprehend what you read and then write about it in a cognizant matter is one of the most important things to master when you are young. I have taught elementary students in grades K-6, middle school students in grades 7-9, high school students grades 10-12 and college students up to the graduate level.. One of my areas of expertise is in the preparation of SAT and ACT test-takers with a focus on reading and writing. In addition, I have assisted students in preparing college entrance essays. Over the last 30 years, I have been actively involved in US Government and politics through the work I do as a volunteer. This makes me uniquely qualified to tutor civics, history, policy and public speaking. It's a pleasure to meet you. I live in Philadelphia, with a few cats, and an obstinate pug named Elle Woods.
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'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 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 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 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'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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pennsylvania Bar Exam tests knowledge across multiple subject areas, but many test-takers struggle most with the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) sections, which require applying legal knowledge to fact patterns under time pressure. Criminal procedure, evidence, and professional responsibility also present difficulty because they require both detailed knowledge and quick recall during the exam. Personalized tutoring can address your specific weak areas with targeted practice and strategy, rather than covering material generically.
Bar review courses provide comprehensive overview content delivered to large groups, while personalized tutoring offers one-on-one instruction tailored to your unique learning needs, pace, and gaps in understanding. A tutor can focus intensively on the subjects where you struggle most, provide customized practice essays and multiple-choice questions, and give immediate feedback on your performance. This personalized approach helps you identify and close knowledge gaps before they affect your exam performance.
An effective Pennsylvania Bar Exam tutor should have significant bar exam experience—ideally having passed the Pennsylvania Bar or similar jurisdictions—combined with deep knowledge of Pennsylvania-specific civil procedure, practice rules, and substantive law. They should also excel at explaining complex concepts clearly, developing customized study plans, and providing detailed written feedback on practice essays. When you connect with tutors through Varsity Tutors, you can discuss their experience level and teaching approach to ensure a good fit for your needs.
The extent of improvement depends on your starting point, commitment level, and how long you study with a tutor. Many students see significant gains in essay writing quality within 4-6 weeks of focused tutoring—including better organization, more complete legal analysis, and stronger issue spotting. Others may need longer to rebuild foundational knowledge in specific subjects. A tutor can help you set realistic goals based on your current performance, practice test scores, and timeline before the exam.
Ideally, you should start tutoring during or shortly after your bar review course, when foundational concepts are still fresh but you're ready for deeper practice and feedback. Some students benefit from tutoring 8-12 weeks before the exam, while others prefer intensive support in the final 4-6 weeks. If you're retaking the exam, starting tutoring sooner helps you identify what went wrong previously and build a stronger study strategy. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on your exam date and current preparation level.
Pennsylvania has unique requirements in several areas, including Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure (which differ from federal rules), Pennsylvania's specific professional responsibility rules, and Pennsylvania-specific evidence considerations. Additionally, you'll need to master Pennsylvania substantive law in key areas like contracts, torts, and criminal law as they apply in the state. A tutor can help you identify which Pennsylvania-specific rules and doctrines are most heavily tested and ensure you're not relying on general multistate knowledge when Pennsylvania law diverges.
Strong MEE performance requires consistent practice with timed essays, detailed feedback on your analysis and writing, and refinement of your issue-spotting and organizational skills. Many students benefit from working through essays under realistic exam conditions, then reviewing them with a tutor who can identify where your legal analysis was incomplete, where you missed issues, or where your writing was unclear. Regular practice with targeted feedback—rather than just writing more essays—typically leads to measurable improvement in both substance and score.
