Scoring 770 on her own Quantitative section, Elizabeth knows the GRE math isn't about advanced concepts — it's about recognizing which arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or data analysis principle a question is really testing beneath its wording. She taught GRE prep as an adjunct professor at American University and developed formula guides and shortcut strategies specifically for the Quantitative Comparison and Data Interpretation question types. Her students learn to spot the traps ETS builds into answer choices rather than grinding through brute-force calculations.

Between a biochemistry degree and a master's in biology, Thomas has run enough statistical analyses and quantitative problem sets to recognize the GRE Quant section for what it is — recycled algebra, ratios, geometry, and data interpretation dressed up in deliberately tricky phrasing. He teaches across the full math ladder from pre-algebra through differential equations, which means he can spot exactly where a rusty concept is causing downstream errors and fix it at the root. Rated 4.8 by students.
My teaching philosophy is focused on a single objective - that students learn. I have a Ph.D. in Criminology from the University of Pennsylvania and a J.D. from Temple Law School. My GRE score was a 326, and my LSAT score was a 173. I've tutored over 60 students through Varsity Tutors. I'm committed to helping students reach their full potentials.
Having taught high school math abroad through the Peace Corps and later completed quantitative coursework in her MPH at Emory, Irina has cycled through the exact algebra, ratios, and data analysis concepts the GRE Quant section recycles — multiple times, in multiple contexts. She's especially sharp at diagnosing the specific rusty spots that trip up students who haven't touched formal math since undergrad, then building targeted practice around those gaps.
I am a graduate of Grinnell College, a private liberal arts college located in Grinnell, Iowa. I have a Bachelor of the Arts in Computer Science from Grinnell's Department of Math and Computer Science. Since graduation I have tutored students of a wide variety of ages and background in a number of subjects. I have tutored middle school students in the Chicago area in Math and science and high school students in advanced Math, chemistry, writing, and helped them prepare for standardized tests for college admittance. I have also tutored adults preparing for academic proficiency tests for their jobs and with GRE prep for those interested in going to graduate school. Additionally I have taught English grammar, reading, and conversational skills to ESL students in Chicago, Ecuador, and Colombia. While I tutor a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy helping students with standardized test strategy and following their scores as they increase towards their goal. When I tutor, I aim to lead students to an answer by example so that they can see the reasoning involved themselves, rather than me just telling them the answer. The more the students can come to their own solutions, the more memorable the lessons will be. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing skill games like scrabble, bridge, and poker, and outdoor activities like biking, camping, and canoeing when the weather is nice.
Hello, my name is Destiny and I graduated from Howard University. I majored in Psychology with a minor in Biology and Administration of Justice. One of the most important lessons I've learned from school is the value of asking for help. This can be the difference between simply memorizing some facts and truly understanding the material given to you. In many cases, learning in a traditional school setting is not effective and students should feel free to reach out for extra guidance. I strive to be that source of guidance for all students who need it. I believe that everyone learns in their own way and that the key to helping someone else lies in finding their unique style of learning. I take great pleasure in finding those styles and using them to enrich students minds. My main areas of expertise are Psychology and English. Ive been reading at a college level since middle school and scored 5s on both AP English tests. I also scored a 5 on the AP Psychology exam in addition to receiving As in all my psychology classes. I have extensive experience with essay writing, essay editing, and researching. Other subjects I can assist with include Algebra I and II, Geometry, and SAT/ACT prep. Outside of class, I like to stay busy with school activities and hobbies. I spend most of my time playing the trumpet in my schools marching band or studying. But when I have free time, I typically catch up with my shows or read.
Reviews from students: "I loved how you explained math. You were able to explain formulas so they made sense and it was engaging. Thank you for making math interesting." - Ferol Conklin "I have published over 20 articles, and no one has ever edited my articles as thoroughly or as helpfully as you did." - Mark Ragel "The instructor was the best I had at this university." - Spanish student, University of Illinois "Elle was kind, patient, and funny. She seemed to really enjoy teaching." - Spanish student, University of Illinois I have three years professional teaching experience and several years of tutoring experience. I have always been a teacher at heart. I feel my biggest strength as a tutor is looking at material from the perspective of the student. I have also been described as a calm, patient, passionate, and fun tutor. I think lesson plans should be interesting to motivate students to care about the subject and engage in the process of learning. I worked as a Spanish TA at the University of Illinois for two years as as the main instructor for over 200 students. I have also worked as a middle school teacher. I have experience tutoring a variety of subjects, including test prep, reading and writing, and various levels of math. My degrees are in Linguistics, Spanish, and Journalism, with a minor in Math.
I have tutored and/or taught mathematics since 2009. I have received graduate degrees in mathematics from Clark Atlanta University and the University of Florida. I am very patient with my students and strive to develop their skills, strategies and critical thinking.
I have always been passionate about math and science. I love to teach others about these subjects so that they can appreciate and understand the material as well. I have a bachelors of science degree in Biology from the University of Florida. I know that many K-12 students loose interest in math and science because of inadequate teaching of these subjects. I want to help students do well in their math and science classes so they can succeed in school and use this knowledge in their future jobs and careers.

Frequently Asked Questions
The GRE Quantitative section tests math skills across four main areas: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. You'll encounter multiple-choice questions, numeric entry questions, and quantitative comparison questions. The section is designed to measure your ability to reason mathematically and solve problems—not necessarily to know advanced formulas, but to think strategically about mathematical concepts you learned in high school.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but most students see meaningful gains with focused, personalized instruction. If you're struggling with foundational concepts, you might improve 5-10 points relatively quickly. If you're already scoring in the mid-range and aiming for a top score, improvement typically comes more gradually through targeted practice and strategy refinement. A tutor can help you identify which concepts are holding you back and create an efficient study plan.
Many students struggle with pacing—the section moves quickly and you need to balance accuracy with speed. Others find quantitative comparison questions confusing because the format is unfamiliar, or they lose confidence with geometry and data interpretation. A frequent issue is also overthinking problems; the GRE often rewards efficient, straightforward approaches over complex calculations. Tutors can help you develop test-specific strategies that address these exact pain points.
Practice tests are essential—they help you understand the question formats, build stamina for the full section, and identify which topics need more work. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions is especially valuable because pacing is a major challenge for many students. Beyond full tests, targeted practice on specific question types and content areas helps you build confidence. A tutor can review your practice test results to pinpoint patterns in your mistakes and adjust your study strategy accordingly.
This varies based on your starting score, target score, and how frequently you meet with a tutor. Many students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring sessions combined with independent practice. If you're working with a tight deadline or need intensive support, you might meet more frequently. The key is consistent, focused practice between sessions—a tutor helps you study smarter, not just longer.
Your first session typically focuses on assessment and goal-setting. A tutor will likely review your current performance, understand your target score, and identify which topics or question types are causing the most trouble. You might take a diagnostic practice test or work through sample problems to pinpoint specific gaps. This foundation helps your tutor create a personalized study plan tailored to your needs and timeline.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format or lack of confidence in your skills. Working through practice problems and timed sections with a tutor builds both competence and confidence. Tutors can also teach you specific test-taking strategies—like when to skip a hard problem and come back to it—that reduce the pressure you feel during the actual test. Knowing you've practiced extensively under realistic conditions is one of the best antidotes to anxiety.
