I am an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley in pursuit of a degree in Data Science. Prior experience has taught me that the difference between a wish and a goal is consistency. This ethos has enabled me to excel in primary school and allows me to continuously enjoy watching others make progress toward their academic objectives under my guidance.
I've helped several hundred students in a wide variety of subjects, from executive functioning to computer science to standardized testing. I also help students with general support in math and English. Most of my students are around 9-17, but I work well with students who are older and a little younger as well. I also work very well with students who have specific obstacles or requirements, such as neurodiversity support or schedules that change a lot. Most of my background is in computer science, from my college major to my experience hands-on over the past 10 years. Regardless of the subject, I believe every student's needs are unique and every student is able to achieve great things with the right preparation and support. My number one goal is to provide that whenever I can, both to the student and to their parents. I communicate with parents outside of sessions a lot to establish their expectations, better understand students, and recommend ways they can directly support their children in their journey as well.
I am well familiar with all the techniques to achieve a higher score. I can also show a student how to study effectively so that they do well in school.
I am currently learning how to do is to play the piano, and I can tell you first hand that practice and determination does make a difference! Outside of tutoring, I also love to dance, ski, and watch airplanes! Hope we can connect sometime soon. :)
I am currently pursuing a degree in Chemical Engineering and Spanish at Virginia Tech. I have a strong academic record in my fields. I enjoy sharing knowledge and helping others overcome learning challenges. Through previous tutoring, I have developed excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. I am comfortable using online learning technologies and am committed to providing engaging, supportive lessons that help students reach their full potential.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
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 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 a current medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine with undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee in chemical engineering and anthropology. I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching since 2010, and am ready to help you with your learning needs! I focus on standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and also tutor in a wide range of math, English, and Spanish classes. In my free time, I like to run, do CrossFit, volunteer, and watch TV!

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment, but most students see meaningful gains with personalized instruction focused on their specific weak areas. Many students improve by 5-10 points or more when working with a tutor who identifies patterns in their mistakes and teaches targeted strategies for the Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Logic Games sections. The key is consistent practice combined with expert feedback on why you're missing questions, not just which ones you got wrong.
Your first session focuses on assessment and strategy planning. A tutor will review your diagnostic test results, identify which sections are causing the most difficulty, and understand your target score and law school timeline. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that addresses your specific challenges—whether that's mastering Logic Games, improving reading speed, or sharpening logical reasoning skills. This foundation ensures every future session builds toward your goals efficiently.
Logic Games require a different skill set than most students have practiced—they demand spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and the ability to work quickly under pressure. Many students struggle because they haven't learned the systematic diagramming techniques and game-type strategies that make these questions manageable. A tutor can teach you proven approaches for each game type, help you build speed through targeted drills, and show you how to recognize game patterns so you're not starting from scratch each time.
Reading Comprehension challenges students who try to read for perfect understanding rather than strategic comprehension—the LSAT rewards knowing where information is located and understanding the author's main point and structure. Tutoring helps you develop efficient reading strategies, practice active annotation techniques, and learn how to eliminate wrong answers systematically. With guided practice on real LSAT passages, you'll learn to work faster while maintaining accuracy.
Practice tests are essential—they're the most accurate predictor of your actual test performance and reveal patterns in your mistakes that you can't see from individual questions. Ideally, you should take full, timed practice tests regularly throughout your study period, then review each one thoroughly with a tutor to understand why you missed questions and what strategies would have helped. This cycle of testing, analysis, and targeted skill-building is what drives real score improvement.
Timing is a major challenge because the LSAT gives you about 1.5 minutes per question, which feels rushed if you're not using efficient strategies. Rather than trying to work faster, effective pacing comes from learning which questions to prioritize, when to skip and return, and how to recognize question types quickly. A tutor can teach you pacing strategies tailored to your strengths—for example, if you're strong at Logical Reasoning but struggle with Logic Games, you might allocate more time to games and move through Logical Reasoning efficiently.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about the format and question types, or from past testing experiences. Building confidence through repeated exposure to real LSAT questions, timed practice tests, and proven strategies significantly reduces anxiety—you'll feel more prepared and in control. A tutor can also help you develop mental strategies for staying calm under pressure, like knowing when to move on from a difficult question rather than spiraling, and practicing positive self-talk during timed drills.
Look for tutors with strong LSAT scores themselves, ideally in the 160+ range, combined with proven teaching experience helping students improve their scores. They should understand the nuances of each section, know the common mistake patterns students make, and be able to explain strategies clearly—not just know the answers themselves. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert LSAT tutors in Columbia who have the knowledge and teaching skills to help you reach your target score.
