I am looking to begin tutoring as a true mentor, and not as a classmate. I have always excelled in and enjoyed the classroom setting. I scored a 34 composite on my ACT and 2120 on my SAT, and would be happy to help with the challenges of preparing for standardized tests, as well as regular subjects for school. Through the use of your or your child's textbook/test prep materials and problems that I assign for practice, I will make sure that you or your child is fully equipped for success!

I am working on getting my pilot licenses and when I have some free time I enjoy music, basketball and video games.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.
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 working toward an MD at Stanford University. I am happy to help with MCAT, SAT, SAT subject, AP test prep, and general academic subjects. Throughout my 8 years of experiencing tutoring middle school and high school students, I aim to help students raise their test scores through targeting points of weakness and developing the tools to conquer those areas. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, listening to music, traveling, and reading.
I'm a writer and editor with a passion for learning that I love to share -- I've been told my tag line should be "let's find out!" I'm a native Austinite, but I lived in New York while I got my Bachelor's in Comparative Literature and minored in Linguistics. After I graduated I moved back home to Austin and got my Masters in Global Policy Studies at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT. Now I'm in Fort Worth, with an MBA I picked up along the way (also from UT Austin) -- apparently I can't stay out of school for long.
I am continuing my education with a Master's in the same field. For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that I am able to build with them. I believe in teaching my key patterns of thinking; teach them how to fish instead of giving them a fish, as it is said. I am best at Math and Science, and any of the high-school level subjects pertaining to those fields.
I am currently a Master's student at Cornell University. I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science from Cornell in 2016 and I plan to attend medical school in the fall of 2017. I am really excited to be tutoring for Varsity tutors because I really enjoy helping students with subjects that gave me trouble in school. I hope that my time spent developing strategies to learn and absorb the tough material can help you succeed.
I'm Eisha, a Public Health major at the University of Texas at Austin with an interest in medicine and teaching.
I am a graduate of New York University and received my Bachelor of Science in Finance. I also completed my premedical coursework at NYU and will be attending medical school in July 2015 as my next step to becoming a pediatrician. Ever since high school, I have tutored and worked with children of all ages and from all backgrounds. As a tutor at Mathnasium, I worked with elementary and middle school students to improve their math skills. In college, I worked for America Reads and served as a reading tutor for 3rd graders in a NYC public school. And after graduation, I spent my time before medical school teaching self-contained 4th grade in Houston ISD. While I tutor a wide range of age groups and content areas, I am most passionate about tutoring math, science, and college admission tests (SAT and ACT). As a public school teacher, I am also very familiar with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade STAAR strategies and content. I have had a lifelong passion for working with children, teaching, learning, and math/science. I truly enjoy building relationships with my students and watching them grow academically. Besides teaching children, some of my hobbies include: hiking, skiing, swimming, working with animals, and enjoying the great outdoors.
I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in subjects including chemistry, physics, Spanish, writing, and more!

Frequently Asked Questions
The SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test) is a standardized test used for admission to independent and private middle and high schools. Students typically take it in grades 5-11, depending on which school level they're applying to. For students in Denton applying to selective private schools, strong SSAT performance is often a key part of the admissions process.
The SSAT has three scored sections: Verbal (synonyms and reading comprehension), Math, and Writing. Most students find the Verbal section challenging because it requires both vocabulary knowledge and quick reading comprehension, while the Math section often trips up students who haven't mastered foundational concepts or struggle with pacing under time pressure. The Writing section is less about grammar and more about clarity and organization, which many students underestimate.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but most students see meaningful gains—often 100-200 points or more—with focused, personalized instruction and consistent practice. The key is identifying your specific weak areas (vocabulary gaps, math concepts, pacing issues) and targeting them systematically. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can create a customized study plan and track your progress through practice tests.
Most students benefit from 2-4 months of preparation, with 5-10 hours per week of focused study. If you're starting further from your goal score or have significant gaps in foundational skills, you may want to begin earlier. A tutor can assess your baseline score, identify your weaknesses, and recommend a realistic timeline based on your target schools and goals.
Practice tests do two critical things: they help you understand the exact format and timing of the real test, and they reveal your specific weak areas so you can focus your study time efficiently. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions also builds test stamina and helps you develop pacing strategies for each section. Tutors typically use practice test results to guide instruction and track your improvement over time.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the test format or fear of running out of time. Practicing with full-length timed tests regularly builds confidence and reduces anxiety on test day. Tutors can also teach you specific strategies like skimming passages before reading questions, tackling easier problems first, and managing your breathing during the test. The more prepared you feel, the calmer you'll be when it counts.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in SSAT prep and understand what selective schools in Texas are looking for. When you get matched with a tutor, they'll assess your current level, discuss your target schools and score goals, and create a personalized study plan. You can work with your tutor on whatever schedule works best for you.
Your first session is typically a diagnostic and goal-setting meeting. Your tutor will likely have you take a practice test or review your recent scores, discuss which schools you're applying to and what scores you need, and identify your strongest and weakest areas. From there, they'll outline a customized study plan, explain their teaching approach, and answer any questions you have about the SSAT process.
