BA Duke University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a registered nurse that earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Duke University School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Studies from the University of Richmond. As a dedicated tutor with experience supporting students from Duke University School of Nursing and serving as a teaching assistant in microbiology, I am passionate about making education in the biological and medical sciences both accessible and enjoyable. I specialize in tutoring a range of subjects including Biology/AP Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, Medical Terminology, and Nursing School courses such as Fundamentals, Pathophysiology, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Maternity Nursing, and Pediatric Nursing. I also provide preparation for standardized exams like the NCLEX and TEAS. My favorite subjects to teach are the biological and medical sciences, as I find the human body to be an endlessly fascinating puzzle - one that is both complex and rewarding to explore. I strive to create a warm, engaging, and inclusive learning environment where students feel supported and empowered. I believe that education should never be a source of frustration or negative emotions; instead, it should be an opportunity for growth, confidence, and curiosity. In my sessions, I use concise, easy-to-follow reviews, practice questions, critical thinking exercises, and the teach-back method to ensure deep understanding and long-term retention. I also emphasize real-world applications of the material, helping students make meaningful connections that stick. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy arts and crafts, reading mystery novels, playing the flute, and spending quality time with my cat, Lilo. I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals with confidence and clarity

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how much you study, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. Students who work with tutors benefit from personalized instruction that targets their specific weak areas—whether that's the science section, reading comprehension, or math pacing—rather than studying everything equally.

The TEAS is very learnable with the right strategy. Tutors can help you identify which question types trip you up, teach you efficient problem-solving approaches, and build test-taking confidence so you're not wasting mental energy on anxiety during the actual exam.

The Science and Reading sections challenge most test-takers, but for different reasons. Science requires you to quickly absorb unfamiliar content and apply it—you don't need to be a biology expert, but you do need strong comprehension and reasoning skills. Reading is difficult because it's about understanding nuance and eliminating plausible-but-wrong answers, not just finding facts on the page.

Math tends to be more straightforward for students who've had recent algebra and basic statistics exposure. The real challenge across all sections is pacing: you have limited time per question, and anxiety often makes students rush or second-guess themselves. A tutor can help you develop section-specific strategies and practice under timed conditions so you're not scrambling on test day.

Most students benefit from 4-12 weeks of preparation, depending on their baseline knowledge and target score. If you're scoring in the 60th percentile range and aiming for competitive nursing school admission, you'll likely need more intensive work than someone already scoring 70+. The key isn't calendar time—it's consistent, targeted practice.

Tutors can help you create a realistic study schedule based on your specific strengths and gaps. Rather than cramming everything in the final weeks, spaced practice over time helps concepts stick better and builds genuine test readiness instead of temporary memorization.

Start by taking a full-length practice test under timed conditions—this gives you a real diagnostic picture of which sections and question types are causing problems. Many students think they know their weaknesses but are surprised by what the data actually shows. Reviewing your practice test results carefully matters more than the score itself: What questions did you get wrong? Did you run out of time? Did you misread what was being asked?

Tutors excel at analyzing your practice tests and identifying patterns you might miss on your own. They can spot whether your science struggles are about content knowledge, reading comprehension, or pacing, and then target instruction accordingly rather than having you waste time studying everything equally.

Yes—practice tests are one of the most effective tools for TEAS preparation. They serve multiple purposes: they help you identify weak areas, familiarize you with the actual question format and difficulty level, build test-taking stamina, and reduce anxiety by letting you know what to expect on test day. Many students underestimate how different practice feels from the real exam until they've done full-length timed attempts.

Tutors typically build practice tests into your prep plan strategically. They're not just about getting a score—they're diagnostic tools that guide your studying and help you track progress. Taking 3-4 full-length practice tests spaced throughout your prep period gives you both confidence and concrete data about whether you're ready.

Test anxiety is common, and it's actually manageable through preparation and strategy. The more prepared and confident you are, the less anxiety tends to interfere. Tutors help by building your genuine test-ready skills and also teaching practical techniques: how to pace yourself so you're not panicking about time, how to move on from a tough question instead of spiraling, and how to manage physical stress responses through breathing or mental techniques.

Many students find that practicing under timed, test-like conditions repeatedly—the way tutors structure prep—naturally builds confidence and reduces anxiety. Knowing you've done dozens of similar questions and understanding the patterns in how questions are asked makes the actual test feel familiar rather than threatening.

Look for tutors who understand both the test's content and its specific challenges. A great TEAS tutor isn't just knowledgeable about nursing prerequisites—they understand pacing, question strategy, and how to help you think like a test-maker. They should be able to explain why certain answer choices are distractors and teach you to spot patterns in how questions are constructed.

You also want someone who personalizes instruction based on your actual weak areas rather than covering everything equally. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you're matched with experienced tutors who have helped students improve TEAS scores and can adapt their teaching to how you learn best. They'll use practice tests strategically, focus on your specific challenges, and help you develop both content knowledge and test-taking confidence.
