Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students typically see gains of 5-15 percentage points over a few months of focused preparation, though some improve significantly more. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's understanding core concepts like kinematics and energy, applying formulas correctly, or analyzing lab data—and targeting those through personalized instruction and practice.
Working through practice exams under timed conditions is especially valuable, as it helps you build both content mastery and test-taking confidence.
The best tutors for Physics REGENTS Exam preparation understand both the content and the specific format of the exam. They should be able to:
- Break down complex concepts like forces, motion, waves, and energy in ways that make sense to you
- Teach problem-solving strategies for multiple-choice questions and free-response problems
- Guide you through the lab component and data analysis skills
- Help you manage pacing so you can complete all sections within the time limit
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong Physics REGENTS Exam expertise and know how to tailor their approach to your learning style.
Many students struggle with applying formulas in unfamiliar contexts rather than just memorizing them. Others find the free-response section difficult because it requires explaining your reasoning, not just getting the right answer. Time management is another major challenge—pacing yourself through 85 questions plus calculations can feel overwhelming without a strategy.
Additional pain points include understanding the relationship between concepts (how velocity, acceleration, and force connect), interpreting graphs and data from labs, and staying calm under test pressure. A tutor can help you build confidence in each of these areas through targeted practice and strategic test-taking approaches.
Most students benefit from starting test prep 8-12 weeks before their exam date, especially if they're aiming for significant score improvement. This timeline allows you to work through all major content areas, take multiple full-length practice tests, and refine your weak spots without cramming.
If you're closer to exam day, even 4-6 weeks of focused tutoring can help you identify gaps and strengthen your test-taking strategy. The ideal study schedule typically includes 2-3 tutoring sessions per week combined with regular practice problems and timed practice exams between sessions.
Practice tests are essential—they show you exactly what you're ready for and where you need more work. Taking full-length timed practice exams helps you experience the real pacing challenges, understand question formats, and build test-day confidence. Research on learning shows that practice testing is one of the most effective study strategies available.
Ideally, work through at least 3-4 full practice exams throughout your prep period, spacing them out so you have time to study between them. After each exam, review every single problem—not just the ones you missed—to reinforce correct reasoning and catch any patterns in your mistakes.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about the format. The best antidote is building genuine confidence through consistent practice. When you've worked through numerous practice problems and full exams, the actual test feels less intimidating because you recognize the question types and know you can handle them.
Beyond preparation, develop a test-day strategy: read directions carefully, pace yourself (don't spend too long on one problem), and use process of elimination on multiple choice. Many students also find it helpful to practice mindfulness or breathing techniques during study sessions so they have tools ready on exam day. A tutor can help you build both content mastery and mental strategies to stay calm.
The lab component is significant—approximately 25% of your REGENTS Exam grade comes from lab performance and analysis. Beyond the lab grade itself, exam questions often ask you to interpret data, identify sources of error, and draw conclusions from experimental results. This means understanding how to read graphs, calculate slopes, identify relationships between variables, and explain your scientific reasoning is crucial.
Tutors can help you strengthen these practical skills by working through sample lab scenarios, teaching you how to organize and analyze data effectively, and showing you how to answer lab-based questions on the written exam.
