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 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 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 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 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 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 am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with word problems that require translating real-world scenarios into equations, geometry concepts involving angles and spatial reasoning, and algebra problems with multiple steps. The ASVAB math section also tests practical arithmetic under time pressure—percentages, ratios, and unit conversions—where small calculation errors can cascade. Many students find the timed format itself challenging, as they need to balance accuracy with speed across 16 questions in just 20 minutes.
Effective pacing on ASVAB math requires knowing which question types to tackle first and which to skip strategically. A tutor can help you identify your strongest problem types and attack those immediately to build confidence and secure points, then return to harder problems with remaining time. Practice tests under timed conditions are essential—they reveal where you're losing seconds to overthinking or calculation errors, allowing you to develop a personalized rhythm that works for your skill level.
ASVAB word problems require you to extract relevant information from text, ignore distractors, and set up the correct equation—all while managing time pressure. Many students rush through reading and misidentify what the question is actually asking. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: underline key numbers, define your variable clearly, write out the equation before solving, and always check if your answer makes sense in context. Breaking word problems into these steps dramatically improves both accuracy and confidence.
ASVAB geometry questions test angle relationships, area/perimeter, and the ability to visualize 3D shapes from 2D drawings. Many students haven't practiced these concepts since middle school. A tutor can review essential formulas, teach you how to sketch problems to clarify what you're solving for, and provide strategies for recognizing common angle patterns and shape relationships. Practice with actual ASVAB-style geometry questions helps you move past confusion and build the visual intuition these problems demand.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment. Students who identify specific weak areas and work consistently with a tutor typically see 5-15 point improvements on the ASVAB math score, with some seeing larger gains if they're addressing fundamental skill gaps. The key is targeting your exact problem areas—whether that's calculation speed, understanding question formats, or mastering specific topics—rather than general review. Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation before test day.
Test anxiety on ASVAB math often stems from unfamiliarity with the format, fear of running out of time, or past negative experiences with timed tests. A tutor builds confidence by repeatedly exposing you to ASVAB-style questions under realistic time constraints, so the format becomes familiar rather than threatening. They can also teach you practical strategies like identifying which problems to skip, using estimation to check answers quickly, and managing negative self-talk during the test. As you practice and see your skills improve, anxiety naturally decreases.
Practice tests reveal exactly where your weak spots are—whether you're making careless errors, struggling with specific topics, or running out of time—in a way that studying individual problems cannot. They also condition you to the ASVAB format, question types, and pacing demands so test day feels familiar. A tutor uses your practice test results to prioritize what to focus on, ensuring your study time targets your actual gaps rather than topics you already know well.
An effective ASVAB math tutor understands the specific content and format of the ASVAB, not just general math. They should be able to diagnose whether your errors come from conceptual misunderstanding, careless mistakes, or time management issues—and adjust their teaching accordingly. They also need experience with test-taking strategy and the ability to help you build confidence under pressure. Look for tutors who use real ASVAB practice materials and can explain why wrong answer choices are traps, not just why the right answer is correct.
