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

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement varies based on your starting point and effort, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. If you're struggling with foundational concepts, you might improve by 10-15 points or more. Students who are already scoring decently often gain 5-10 points by refining test-taking strategy and tackling specific weak areas.
The key is identifying exactly which topics—whether it's fractions, percentages, algebra, or geometry—are costing you points, then drilling those systematically. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can pinpoint your gaps and create a targeted study plan rather than having you waste time on topics you've already mastered.
The biggest challenge students encounter is time pressure—the TEAS Math section has 34 questions in 54 minutes, which forces you to work quickly without sacrificing accuracy. Many students also struggle with word problems, where they get tripped up parsing the question rather than the actual math, and with percentage/ratio problems that require mental flexibility.
Algebra and geometry concepts often feel rusty after years away from math class, and the TEAS tests these heavily. Finally, test anxiety amplifies these issues—when you're nervous, you're more likely to misread a question or second-guess yourself. A tutor can help you build speed through strategic practice, strengthen conceptual understanding, and develop confidence through repeated success.
Test strategy is surprisingly critical—it can easily add 3-5 points to your score without learning anything new. Smart strategies include: knowing which questions to tackle first (easier ones build confidence), recognizing when to estimate rather than calculate exactly, and identifying common wrong-answer traps the test makers use.
Beyond strategy, pacing matters enormously. Many students rush through early questions and run out of time later, or spend 3 minutes on a single problem when they should cut losses and move on. Expert tutors teach you not just TEAS Math content, but also how to manage the test structure itself—which questions to prioritize, when to use your calculator efficiently, and how to avoid careless errors under pressure.
The best way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then review every single wrong answer. Don't just look at the final answer—understand why you got it wrong. Did you misunderstand the question? Make a calculation error? Not know the concept? This distinction matters because it tells you whether you need strategy help or content review.
After analyzing your practice test, group your mistakes by topic: number and operations, algebra, measurement and data, etc. You'll likely find that 2-3 topics account for most of your wrong answers. This is where focused tutoring pays off—a tutor can assess your conceptual gaps quickly and spend 80% of your time on high-impact areas rather than having you waste time reviewing content you've already mastered.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of preparation, meeting with a tutor 1-2 times per week for 60-90 minute sessions. If you have significant gaps (struggling with basic fractions, for example), you might need longer. If you're already scoring decently and just need to tighten up weak spots, 4 weeks of focused work often suffices.
Between tutoring sessions, you should spend 2-3 hours per week on independent practice—working through problem sets, taking timed quizzes, and reviewing mistakes. The tutor session is where you clarify confusion and learn strategy; the practice is where you build speed and confidence. A good rhythm is: tutor session → guided practice → independent practice → next session.
Test anxiety shrinks significantly when you know the material deeply and have practiced under realistic conditions. A tutor helps by building your confidence through targeted practice on your specific weak areas—each time you solve a problem correctly, your nervous system registers success. Repeated small wins compound into genuine confidence.
Expert tutors also teach anxiety-management tactics: how to breathe and refocus when you feel panic, which problems to skip to avoid spiraling, and how to reframe mistakes during practice as learning opportunities rather than failures. Many students find that doing timed practice tests with a tutor—and getting immediate feedback—desensitizes them to the actual test environment. By test day, you've essentially already taken this exam five times, so it feels familiar rather than terrifying.
Look for someone who has direct experience with the TEAS specifically—they should understand which topics the test emphasizes, common trick questions, and what the test makers are actually testing beneath the surface. Beyond content knowledge, great TEAS Math tutors are diagnostic: they ask questions to uncover whether you have conceptual gaps or just need strategy coaching.
They should also be flexible teachers who can explain the same concept multiple ways until it clicks for you. Finally, look for someone who emphasizes understanding over memorization—someone who teaches you why a method works, not just how to do it. This matters because the TEAS tests concepts, not just formulas. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in TEAS prep and can customize their approach to your learning style.
