No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I have tutored students for the GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT and LSAT for more than 15 years. I love it! As I tailor my instructions toward the unique needs of each student, my goal is to improve not only the student's performance but also the student's confidence as test day approaches.

I received my M.S. in Chemistry from Northwestern University, and my B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Rochester. I believe that all students can achieve high marks in chemistry and math once they learn good note-taking skills, organization, logical problem-solving approaches, and other essential study habits. It's my job to facilitate every student's learning of subject material and instill in him or her all those skills which will increase independent learning and personal academic growth.
School can be really, really hard sometimes. I'm here to make learning more enjoyable and school less stressful. I take a compassionate, empathetic approach towards tutoring. It's important to me to get to know a student, so I can best support their learning style and align learning with their interests. My teaching style is collaborative; I want students to feel in charge of their own learning.I am a graduate of Northwestern University with experience working with elementary school-aged kids. I'm excited to share my knowledge and learn with my students!
I'm currently working towards my undergraduate degree in Mathematics while pursuing the pre-medicine track. After school, I plan to become a practicing physician in a non-surgical specialty--likely anesthesiology or radiology. I've previously worked with students from elementary to high school age on subjects in math, writing, and science. I also have teaching experience in speech-related coursework, music theory, and percussion and drum set performance.I like to think that my family and friends see me as enthusiastic and ambitious, and I want to bring out these qualities in each student that I have the privilege of working with. I believe that learning is one of the most enjoyable aspects of life, and my teaching philosophy builds strongly on the idea that an exciting learning environment must be carefully tailored to the individual. Thus, I am more than willing to do what it takes to make the learning experience exciting.In my free time, I like to learn about jazz music and stay in shape by playing sports, going for a jog, or attending group fitness classes. I really look forward to working with you soon!
I'm passionate about helping students build nuanced, ground-up understandings of complex physical and mathematical topics. With over 6 years of tutoring experience, I focus on guiding students in connecting their real world experience with the concepts they are currently learning, fostering excitement and intuition throughout their learning.
I believe that tutoring is one of the most useful ways that students can understand how to optimize their own learning methods is through tutoring. I have been tutored throughout my life not because I did not have faith in my abilities to succeed, but because I needed help figuring out what is my best study methods as I progressed as I grew older, classroom styles changed, and I took standardized exams. I realized that it is completely normal to need help, and am very grateful for the people who have helped me throughout my journey. My great experiences from being tutored have helped me realize that I want to do the same by passing on knowledge to those who need it the most.I began tutoring when I was a senior in high school. I tutored the ACT Science section to other high school students. One of the major concepts that I was able to help my students understand is the difference between a knowledge base and raw test taking skills. For standardized tests, I was able to help my students improve by honing in on their test taking skills and by showing them that at a certain point, memorizing terms and studying is not going to get you any far. But that is totally okay. At that point, students have to focus on raw test taking skills such as practicing speed reading while still attempting to understand the tone, focus, and gist of the passages.During my undergraduate career at Northwestern University, I was lucky enough to be able to be a Senior Mentor for the Gateway Science Workshop. I taught undergraduate students important inorganic chemistry topics on a weekly basis by going over problems and concepts. From this experience, I realized the importance of learning from others as well as the fact that there is normally more than one way to get to an answer. I saw how students have very different learning styles, and that different problem-solving techniques work better for different types of students. I hope to continue applying what I learned as I pursue my passion of tutoring others.At Northwestern, I also was able to work with an organization called MiniChefz where I led small group sessions that taught children ages 6 through 13 in low-income neighborhoods the importance of cooking and eating healthily. I taught them different types of cooking methods, cheap healthy ingredients to buy at the grocery store, and the importance of many vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in a daily diet. I really enjoyed working with younger children and saw the importance of taking needed breaks and presenting more complicated information in a manner that is easier for them to understand and remember.So far in my career teaching and tutoring, I have loved working with my students and believe that I have been able to help them succeed. I hope to continue doing so as I work as a Tutor for Varsity Tutors. My background in Economics, Mathematics, the pre-medical curriculum, and standardized tests allows me to become an effective teacher with many different teaching methods and valuable information that I will be able to pass on to my students.
Hi, my name is Yuki. I'm Japanese and living in NY for 20 years. I have a Masters in Advertising from Northwestern University and I'm fluent in English and Japanese. I tutor all ages in the language of Japanese.
I live in Detroit, Michigan, but am previously from Russia. I have worked for several universities. Right now I teach at Lawrence Tech University. Helping others to be all they can be is especially rewarding for me. I love going to school and have several degrees. First, right out of high school I got my BS in Mathematics and Biology at Northwestern University; and then I went to the same university for my Masters degree. When I taught at the Wayne State University, I worked on my doctorate in math. I really believe in the power of education! In my free time I like to paint, work with polymer clay, and bead. I watch Gotham and anything on sci fi/history/discover/news channels. I like to stay at home and work or play video games. I really believe that math can be fun. There are so many ways that it can be used and applied in business and in your personal life, but many of these opportunities are lost if one has not had the wonderful experience of studying math. I'm looking forward to working with you.
Hello!I have a Ph.D. in Psychology from CUNY and have both taught and tutored for years. I have worked with all sorts of students, from first graders to adults. My students have ranged from gifted to LD to ADHD to perfectly average. Academically, I have expertise in learning, memory, emotional processes, and behavioral neuroscience, so I am well-trained in understanding the processes that can block learning. I also have a good sense of humor, and tutoring has always been a pleasant experience for both the student and for me.Just as I have never shied away from learning difficulties, I also have taught some very technical courses at Queens College, such as Neuroscience of Memory and Psychometrics. My evaluations (from both faculty and students) as a college professor are universally excellent, and reflect my ability to motivate students, clearly structure lessons, and make very complex material understandable.I have taught college-level statistics many times, and have done graduate-level statistics as part of my research. SPSS is no problem.Name a field of psychology: I've probably taught it, and can tutor it. These would include developmental, neurobiological, personality, clinical, and cognitive.Most people need to learn two things about writing: how to make it natural, and how to organize it. I was taught by outstanding writing teachers: write first, organize later. This is how I work with my students.Tutoring is all about communication. I can take complex, forbidding material and break it down in different ways, until the light goes on.
My main areas of speciality are French and English writing, reading, and grammar. In addition to scoring perfectly on the SAT Writing and Verbal sections, I have completed graduate-level coursework and an honors thesis at Northwestern University. Having lived and worked in Paris, France, I am capable of teaching French comprehension and structure with confidence and a great deal of experience.
My experience includes tutoring students at the Atlanta Youth Academy (in south Atlanta) and abroad. At the end of 2012, I returned from two and a half years volunteering with the Peace Corps in Ecuador, South America. As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with urban youth from a low-income neighborhood in the largest city in Ecuador. My projects included designing and implementing an internship program to promote leadership skills among young women aged 14-16; designing a curriculum and teaching natural science classes to 30 elementary and junior high students; and working with over 200 students at 4 different educational and extracurricular programs, teaching classes and tutoring individuals in Spanish, English, Algebra, the natural sciences, and the fine arts. During this time I discovered that I love working one on one with students. I am excited to be back in Atlanta and continuing to work with students!
I'm a Northwestern University graduate and proud Chicagoan! I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Radio/Television/Film, and I'm currently taking classes in Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Since receiving my BA, I've also worked in a variety of marketing roles, along with helping educate middle and high school students in reading comprehension, economics, and career skills through Junior Achievement and AT&T Aspire.I'm excited to tutor a variety of subjects, but I'm most passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, whether for their school coursework or for standardized testing. I believe in both targeting quick wins for test taking, as well as helping to build the foundational skills required for long term success. Outside of tutoring, my interests include reading/writing, psychology, theatre, history, and Northwestern football and basketball.Reach out to discuss tutoring for: all elementary and middle school subjects, high school reading & writing (especially research papers!), SAT Reading & Writing/Language, and ACT Reading, English, & Writing.
I am currently a senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.
I am an freshman at Northwestern University looking to major in Math and Computer Science. I got into tutoring during high school, as it was a requirement for being a part of my school's Math Honor Society. I enjoyed it far more than I expected and wanted to do more of it. While I can tutor on a variety of STEM topics, I enjoy tutoring with Math related subjects the most. I can help with anything from academic math subjects to competition math strategies.
I started tutoring while in college and I started teaching high school math after graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a math degree. I then earned my masters in Secondary Math Education at Northwestern University. I have taught all high school subjects (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, and Finite Math) and prepared students for the ACT, SAT, SAT subject tests, AP exams, and college placement exams.When tutoring, I will start by showing students good examples and all the steps, but by the end of the session, the student is showing me all the steps without any assistance. We both need to be confident that the student can talk through the problem and solve it with no notes and without prompting.
I have a passion for learning and I love to spread that joy to others. I did a double major in mathematics and music at Knox College and extensively studied many core aspects of mathematics that most students never get a chance to touch. I believe that a true understanding of mathematics comes from a deeper understanding of these principles. It's more rewarding to know why mathematical principles work the way they do and be able to apply them more broadly than to simply know rote computations. That being said, the student should always be in control of their goals. It's my job to provide feedback, help them reach their goals and gain confidence in their abilities.
I started with Varsity Tutors back in 2009 during my sophomore year as an undergrad at Northwestern University. I did take some time off from tutoring while I completed school. I graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Sciences in Theater and a minor in Business Institutions. Since then I have picked up tutoring again. I've always enjoyed learning, and in the past few years I have enjoyed growing as a teacher and leader. I particularly enjoy "the game" of standardized tests, so I gravitate towards teaching ACT and SAT prep. I believe my work as an actor and director aids my ability to communicate and listen to students. I have an avid curiosity; I told my college playwriting professor that I wish I could experience everything there is in the world. She told me to start a podcast where I interview all kinds of people about all kinds of things and call it, "A Little Bit of Everything." I haven't done that yet, but maybe you could be my first guest! I value teaching because it helps me continue to learn and sharpen my mind. I also enjoy being able to pass on the knowledge I have been given. If I work with you, you can expect my full attention, a great attitude, and a good balance between teaching, listening, and practicing. Go Cubs!
My educational background is very diverse. Growing up, my sister and I were both homeschooled by my mom because our family travelled frequently between Boston and Miami due to my dad's job. I was homeschooled up until 8th grade, when I began attending Ransom Everglades middle school and subsequently Ransom Everglades high school. I graduated from Northwestern University in 2019 with a BA in Biological Sciences and a concentration in Genetics and Genomics. I currently do research in an infectious disease laboratory at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.I tutor subjects in diverse areas, from Molecular Biology and Middle School Math to Spanish and ACT Test Prep. I have a lot of experience teaching students of different ages and levels. In high school, I worked with a program called Breakthrough Miami for two years where I taught extracurricular classes to middle school students. In college, I worked with Varsity Tutors to tutor middle school and high school level standardized test prep. Likewise, at Northwestern, I was a TA for a biology lab sequence where I helped teach biology to younger college students. Working in these different experiences showed me how rewarding it is to help students understand material and become more successful in their educational paths.Having been both homeschooled and a student at school, I have a unique philosophy on education. I believe that learning material at your own pace skimming over the information you know well and spending more time on what you find difficult is crucial. I also think that truly understanding the material on a deeper level is more important and beneficial than memorizing shortcuts to get to the answer. I am very patient and will work alongside the student toward reaching that key moment when the material finally clicks and everything makes sense.Outside of my research job, I was a student-athlete for five years on the crew team in high school and college, and I currently volunteer for the Head of the Charles Regatta. I have played piano for over 15 years and love music and frequently attend concerts. I am also a member of my sorority's Intercollegiate Alumnae Association. I love hanging out with my friends, listening to podcasts, and traveling!
Hi! I'm a student at Northwestern University studying Mechanical Engineering, and I've always enjoyed working through math problems and figuring out how different concepts connect. I know math can sometimes feel frustrating or intimidating, so my goal as a tutor is to make it feel more approachable and give you the confidence to tackle problems on your own. I'm patient, easygoing, and happy to explain things in different ways until they click.
My love of teaching comes from a lifelong love of learning. As a summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern University, and a journalist with articles published in The Atlantic, Popular Science and the San Francisco Examiner before my 21st birthday, I have experienced professional success at an early age and am committed to helping other students reach their full potential in the same way I did: by tapping into their natural intellectual curiosity and drive to make the college application process a rewarding journey of self-discovery.I specialize in college prep, particularly in essay-writing and SAT prep. I have written for publications all over the United States and in South Africa, and been commissioned to write plays or a major Chicago theatre. I love teaching as much as doing, and have edited the work of writers from ages 4 to 40, worked at theatre and storytelling summer camps and taught playwriting at the college level.As one of the top 1% of scorers in the country on the SAT, PSAT and AP tests, I firmly believe that high test scores come from regular practice, and an understanding of the test's formula. As an SAT tutor, I will administer monthly practice SAT tests and help your child raise her score by methodically working through the kinds of questions and tricks that regularly appear on the test.Writing a good college essay is a blend of art and formula. Once you master the formula, you can express yourself in an authentic manner while also appealing to college admissions officials. I aim to teach your child the formula so that there is no barrier between her natural strengths as an applicant and the admissions official looking over her essay.I hold myself to a high standard. For that reason, I will often ask for feedback, and I would never bill for a lesson in which the student or parent isn't satisfied with my tutoring.I am available to work evenings from 6 pm onward, and weekends all day. I'm available to work all months of the year, and I am happy to travel to your home, or can set up appointments at a caf, library or other public space.Bottom line: Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than helping bright people communicate the best parts of themselves through writing, and through learning the tricks of the SAT trade. I'm happy to figure out effective strategies for your child that will maximize her potential without making her feel like a Common App-submitting machine. I look forward to hearing from you!
As a passionate tutor with a Master's degree in Communications from Northwestern University, I specialize in teaching Conversational Mandarin and Mandarin Chinese 1 and 2. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a genuine connection with my students, using interactive methods to make learning engaging and enjoyable. I believe that understanding a language goes beyond vocabulary; it's about embracing culture and communication. My goal is to help each student achieve their language aspirations while instilling confidence in their abilities. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring diverse cultures and languages, which enriches my teaching approach.
Although I spend my days teaching in a classroom, I love moonlighting at a tutor because of the individualized attention that my students receive. I bring several years of classroom experience to the table, as well as a teaching credential from the University of Oxford and a BA from Northwestern University. While my classroom experience is in English/reading and history, my tutoring experience has been in everything from math to foreign languages.
I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen how meaningful support can turn uncertainty into confidence. I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class and completed a rigorous AP curriculum in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus BC, English, Economics, and Spanish. I really enjoyed learning from my teachers and know how transformative good teaching can be. I earned my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where I studied Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Global Health. Those disciplines deepened my appreciation for how people learn, think, and connect across different perspectives. I now am about to graduate medical school and enter residency later in the summer, but before I start off my busy career as a doctor, I'm looking to make some money so I can travel and tackle bucket list items that I've not had a chance to do yet. Throughout college and medical school, I've tutored students of varying ages and backgrounds in subjects including biology, chemistry, math, and writing, as well as standardized test preparation. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and biochemistry because I enjoy helping students see the logic and beauty behind how living systems work. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and curiosity. I approach each session as a collaboration, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and helping them build problem-solving skills rather than rely on rote memorization. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about photography and travelboth of which keep me creative, observant, and open-minded, qualities I bring into every tutoring interaction.
I'm starting my junior year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in biology with a concentration in health and human disease, global health, and a minor in French. I love reading, traveling, learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high school and elementary school students in math, science, and English and I love tutoring in each subject equally. Eventually, I see myself going to medical school and researching topics related to viral diseases which I've been interested in since a very young age. I'm very passionate about the subjects I teach and hope to pass my passion on to the individuals I tutor!
I am a recent master's graduate in biomedical engineering and studied writing (along with biology) as an undergraduate. I have tutored folks in STEM, ELA, and test prep in the past. I'm excited about meeting new students and helping them feel more confident in their academic lives!
Hi, I'm Merav! I graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Theatre and a Minor in Psychology.My love of theatre actually stems from my passion for classical works such as Shakespeare, Grecian texts, and Jacobean plays. I recently graduated from LAMDA with a Masters in Classical Acting, which required an intense study of classical texts such as Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Not only did I acquire an in-depth understanding of rhetorical devices, grammar and text analysis, but I also honed my ability to take complex and sometimes esoteric passages and express them clearly to a contemporary audience, unfamiliar with such language.My experiences with making classical texts more comprehensible have greatly enhanced my ability to take complex information and distill it into a clearer and simpler form.This, along with my knowledge of developmental and social psychology, has informed my teaching method of tailoring my style to the individual students needs. I am a strong believer that clear communication and open dialogue are vital to a fertile learning environment, and that it is also important to encourage students to push themselves to be the best that they can be.
I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in Political Science and Film/Television. Growing up in New York City, I attended The Allen Stevenson School and Columbia Preparatory School before heading to Chicago for college. I excelled academically in my undergraduate career particularly in the humanities and communication sciences. The root of my passion for tutoring is simple: I love working with others to tackle challenges and have deep-rooted passion for academics.There is no "right way to learn;" rather, everyone learns in a manner that is best for them. My ability to hone in on and adapt to an individual's unique learning style makes me a skilled communicator and educator. I firmly believe that establishing a strong personal connection and friendly relationship are essential for success in teaching and motivating students. I have helped students write their college and graduate school essays, become stronger and more confident readers, and develop strong analytical writing skills.The Humanities are my area of proficiency: English, Literature, Analysis, Public Speaking, Writing, Government/Politics, both SAT and ACT Reading and English, SAT Writing, and ACT Science.I want to ensure that every lesson proves valuable and thus never charge if a student or parent is not entirely satisfied. I also have a flexible schedule and 6 hour cancellation policy.Excited to start working with you and help improve your academic experience!
I recently graduated from Northwestern University, where I majored in journalism and Middle East and North African Studies. I most recently worked as an investigative journalist and have published over 20 articles this year. I tutored French for four years with Northwestern's Department of French and Italian, and I previously tutored math (from kindergarten to SAT prep) with Mathnasium. I also taught English as a second language through the Paper Airplanes program, which pairs tutors with Syrian refugees for virtual lessons. I gained a DALF C1 in French at the end of a year-long exchange program through Rotary, and I am comfortable tutoring the language at any level. Besides French, I enjoy with students on SAT prep and college application essays. I am passionate about teaching and know what it takes to create a personalized program to help students reach their goals. Outside of tutoring, I'm an avid reader with a particular passion for modern Middle Eastern history, and I love watching cycling and going for bike rides.
My undergraduate degree is in Biology, but I also have a minor in Economics. I have experience tutoring in a volunteer setting, but have also worked extensively with my peers throughout the years. I am a team-player, and hope to use this attribute to work with my students to reach their goals. Thus, I would describe my tutoring philosophy as entirely facilitative - I want to be there to help my students reach their goals on their own.Personally, my interests shadow my studies, but extend beyond them as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about biomedical science and helping people. I spend my free time reading, playing pick-up basketball or soccer with my friends, going on a run or for a swim, and watching sports.I tutor high school and college-level science courses, including chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and physics. I also tutor economics, at both a high school and college-level. I am also certified to tutor for the MCAT and for specific MCAT sections.
My name is Ben, and I'm from Chicago. I grew up in Hyde Park, attending the University of Chicago Lab School, where I developed a deep appreciation for rigorous academic inquiry and critical thinking. After transferring from Emory, I graduated with honors from Northwestern University with dual degrees in American Studies and Political Science. I've been admitted to the University of Chicago's MAPSS program with a merit scholarship and will begin graduate studies this fall. I'm passionate about helping students find their voice, whether that's crafting compelling college essays, developing strong analytical arguments, or building confidence in standardized testing. Having navigated the transfer process myself and grown up immersed in a highly academic environment, I understand what makes applications stand out and how to help students articulate their ideas authentically. I particularly enjoy working on writing and critical reading, areas where I've seen students make transformative progress. Outside of academics, I spent a summer at Middlebury achieving B2 proficiency in Russian, played club rugby at Northwestern, and have been playing bluegrass banjo and guitar for nearly a decade. I'm currently on a gap year in London, but I'm eager to work with students and fully available to accommodate American time zones. I believe learning should be both challenging and rewarding, and I'm committed to helping each student reach their full potential.
I am an experienced tutor specializing in english, essay writing, communications and business. After completing the IB program at an international high school, I recently graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies, Business, and Integrated Marketing Communications. I grew up in a Korean household in China, so I am fluent in Korean and Chinese as well. Feel free to reach out for general inquiries on any classes or essay/writing help you need!
I am very dedicated to helping students excel in school and in helping them develop study methods and styles that work best for them and that will serve them throughout school. I previously tutored with Boys Hope Girls Hope in Evanston, IL. I tutored middle and high school students in Spanish and English, and I was able to help them develop study strategies such as using flashcards or translating a sentence they had spoken aloud that day in their heads for extra language practice. I am very excited to be able to tutor again and to work with students. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a previously struggling student excel and to have helped them improve along the way.
When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved. I started working with a tutor and going from barely getting by to being successful in that class was a very fulfilling feeling that I hope to continue to pass on to others.
As a student who is truly passionate about Math and Science, I seek to help others understand Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, etc, so that their foundation in the sciences is strong enough to take on more complex topics. I believe in letting my teaching style be dynamic in order to teach different students successfully.
Hello! I'm Kade and I'm currently a second-year at Northwestern University studying biology and chemistry on the pre-medical track.

I have experience teaching English in Argentina, as well as experience as a teaching assistant for various subjects at the Summer Institute for the Gifted.Exploration drives much of what I do, and I believe that learning is a form of exploration - and I hope to share that mindset with my students.As a tutor, I will be very patient, understanding, and thoughtful in my approach.
I have recently graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in chemistry. I just started working a day job, but I would love to get into tutoring again! I tutored a bit of general chemistry in college and honestly, I loved the experience! I would love to teach chemistry and math because of my solid foundation in these subjects. I would love to be a teacher later in life, but for now, I want to focus on how far I can go with chemistry. On my free time, I love playing Ultimate Frisbee, running, watching TV, and hanging out with friends. I believe that compatibility is very important between tutor and student, so I definitely hope that I am able to communicate with some students that need help in the maths and sciences!
