Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

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 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 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 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'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 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 am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.
I am comfortable tutoring math subjects up to multivariable calculus and differential equations, as well as college physics.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Virginia Bar Exam challenges test takers across multiple dimensions. Many struggle with time management—the exam requires synthesizing and analyzing complex fact patterns under tight deadlines. Others find the Virginia-specific law sections (particularly Virginia procedure and evidence rules that differ from the Model Rules) difficult to master alongside the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) content. Additionally, many test takers underestimate the writing component; the Virginia Bar includes essays that require not just legal knowledge but clear, persuasive communication. Personalized tutoring can address these specific weaknesses rather than relying on one-size-fits-all study methods.
Group bar prep courses move at a standardized pace and cover content broadly, but they can't adapt to your specific knowledge gaps. A personalized tutoring approach with Varsity Tutors allows a tutor to identify exactly which topics you find challenging—whether that's certain MBE subject areas, Virginia-specific rules, or essay writing technique—and focus intensive study time there. Tutors can also simulate real exam conditions, provide immediate feedback on practice essays, and help you develop a test-day strategy tailored to your strengths and weaknesses.
An excellent Virginia Bar Exam tutor should have hands-on experience with the exam itself—ideally someone who has passed it or has extensive bar exam preparation experience. They should be deeply familiar with Virginia-specific law and the Virginia State Bar's testing requirements, not just generic bar exam content. Beyond expertise, look for someone who can explain complex legal concepts clearly, diagnose your weak areas quickly, and adapt their teaching style to how you learn best. They should also be comfortable with both the substantive law and test-taking strategy, helping you work smarter, not just harder.
The timeline depends on where you're starting and how frequently you work with a tutor, but most test takers begin seeing measurable progress within 3-4 weeks of consistent, targeted tutoring. You might notice improvement in specific areas first—for example, MBE question accuracy in a particular subject, or confidence with Virginia-specific essays—before seeing your overall practice scores climb. The key is consistent application: tutors can show you what to study and how to study it, but your own deliberate practice between sessions is what drives lasting improvement in exam performance.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can help you master both components. The MBE requires deep knowledge of common law and the Restatements across seven subjects, while Virginia's exam adds state-specific rules and essays. A tutor experienced with the Virginia Bar Exam can help you understand how Virginia law differs from the Model Rules, help you practice Virginia essays under timed conditions, and ensure you're allocating study time efficiently across both the multistate and state-specific portions.
Outcomes vary based on your starting point and effort, but personalized tutoring typically helps test takers identify and close knowledge gaps faster than self-study alone. Many students see increases in practice test scores within weeks, improved essay organization and clarity, and greater confidence walking into the exam. The Virginia Bar Exam pass rate for first-time takers is strong, and targeted tutoring—especially for someone who's struggled with a prior attempt or specific content areas—can make a meaningful difference in helping you achieve a passing score.
Test anxiety is real, especially for high-stakes exams like the bar. Experienced tutors help by building your confidence through repeated practice under timed, realistic conditions. They can help you develop a concrete exam day strategy—how to pace yourself, when to move on from a difficult question, how to manage the essay portion—so you feel prepared rather than panicked. By understanding your testing patterns and weaknesses through practice, you'll enter the actual exam with a clear plan and the confidence that comes from thorough, targeted preparation.
