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

I am a 25 year old flight operations specialist who has been serving in the military for the past 8 years. I am also a proud alumna of Purdue University Global and Southern New Hampshire University where I earned my master's in accounting, with a concentration in Forensic Accounting. Being from a lower class, I've always taken pride in my school and professional work. I value education and I am more than happy to share my knowledge with anyone who's willing to listen and try. There is no doubt that school can be tedious, but everyone has different learning styles, so I find fun and creative ways to learn.

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'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 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 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 exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find word problems involving rates, work, and mixture problems most challenging, since they require translating real-world scenarios into equations. Percent problems and problems involving discounts or markups also trip up many test-takers because they demand quick mental math and careful attention to what's being asked. Time management is another major pain point—students often spend too long on difficult problems and run out of time for easier ones they could answer quickly.
The key is learning to identify problem types quickly and prioritize easier questions first. A tutor can teach you to spot high-confidence problems (basic operations, simple percentages) and tackle those in 30-45 seconds, saving more time for complex word problems. Many students benefit from practicing with a timer to build speed without sacrificing accuracy, and learning when to make an educated guess rather than getting stuck on one difficult problem.
Start by reading the question carefully and identifying what you're actually solving for—many students miss this step and solve for the wrong value. Next, extract the key numbers and relationships, then set up your equation before diving into calculations. A tutor can help you develop a consistent system: underline what you're looking for, circle the given numbers, and write out your setup step-by-step to catch errors before they happen.
Mental math is valuable for speed, but accuracy matters more—the ASVAB isn't testing your ability to do calculations in your head. That said, being comfortable with basic operations, fraction-to-decimal conversions, and quick percent estimates can save you 10-15 seconds per problem. A tutor can help you build these skills through targeted practice, focusing on the conversions and estimates that appear most frequently on the test rather than advanced mental math tricks.
A tutor will analyze your practice test results to spot patterns—for example, noticing that you consistently miss ratio problems or struggle with multi-step scenarios. They'll then focus your study time on those specific problem types with targeted practice, teaching you the underlying concepts and strategies you need rather than having you review everything. This targeted approach is much more efficient than general studying and builds confidence in your weakest areas.
Anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure of your approach to problems. Regular practice with a tutor builds genuine confidence because you develop a reliable system for tackling different problem types and learn what to expect on test day. Tutors can also teach you calming strategies like reading problems twice before solving, taking a breath when you feel rushed, and knowing when to skip a problem and come back to it—all of which reduce panic during the actual test.
Most students benefit from 3-4 focused study sessions per week, each 45-60 minutes long, rather than cramming. A typical session might include reviewing one problem type (15 minutes), practicing 8-10 similar problems (25 minutes), and reviewing errors (15 minutes). A tutor can help you create a personalized schedule based on your timeline and current skill level, and adjust it based on your progress—for example, spending more time on weak areas as your test date approaches.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and consistency. Students who are 6-12 weeks out from their test and commit to regular practice often see 3-5 point improvements, while those with more time and foundational gaps may see larger gains. The most significant improvements typically come from learning efficient problem-solving strategies and eliminating careless errors—both areas where tutoring makes a direct impact. Your tutor can set realistic milestones based on practice test results and help you track progress along the way.
