Having earned a JD with a family law concentration and previously coached students through LSAT prep at a test prep agency, Amber knows this exam from both sides — as someone who conquered it and as someone who's taught others to do the same. She addresses all three sections with targeted strategies, from conditional logic diagrams to passage-mapping techniques, and builds timed practice into every session so test-day pacing feels natural.

I am a current third-year student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am in the BS/MD Guaranteed Admissions program for Medicine at VCU, and I am majoring in Biology with a minor in Business and a minor in Dance. I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona and I have a passion for teaching. I have had lots of experience with tutoring and also in a large variety of subjects. I worked at a place called "The Tutoring Center" for 8 months where I had the opportunity to teach students aged 5 through 18 in varying levels of Math, English, and Writing. I have also been now tutoring with Varsity for nearly 2 years. While I tutor in a large variety of subjects, I am especially passionate about teaching Math, Chemistry, Biology, and also tutoring in Standardized Test prep such as for the SAT, PSAT, and ACT.
I am currently working on my Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, where I attained my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. VCU is where I have held bioinorganic research positions as well as teaching positions. I acted as a teaching assistant in various chemistry and biology classes while studying and am currently an adjunct faculty teaching chemistry courses for the university. In addition to Varsity Tutors, I tutor for PCG education where I prepare students at J L Francis Elemetnary School for their mathematics SOLs. Throughout my different experiences with teaching and tutoring, I have found that each individual requires a different teaching style. Adjusting styles to accommodate different learning styles can be difficult at start, but overtime it helps the success of students to achieve their goals.
I am currently applying to medical schools in hopes of attending in the Fall of 2015. Helping my younger brother manage his genetic disorder, in addition to years of teaching special needs students at summer camp, has inspired me to pursue a career as a Pediatrician with a focus in Medical Genetics.
I am a sophomore electrical engineering student and member of the honors college at Virginia Commonwealth University. I recently graduated from Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in June of 2017. I have a passion for mathematics, especially calculus, and am excited to share my knowledge with others.
I am currently preparing to begin a Master's of Teaching program at VCU this fall and have continued to excel in the math and history courses I need to round out my teaching endorsements. Because my future career path focuses on teaching at the high school level, I have a preference for tutoring math (especially algebra through calculus) and history, along with writing and my current subject of philosophy. Besides my career motivations, I find that I stand out the most as a tutor in these areas because of my capability in clearly presenting complex material and my ability to grasp the diverse perspectives of my students.
I am a 19 year old student taking a year off from college to explore opportunities in the intersection between art and cognitive studies. I am currently residing in Los Angeles, but traveled from Charlottesville, Virginia where I was studying Cognitive Science and Studio Art at University of Virginia. I am patient, flexible, and love working with students in different subjects, but especially math. I prefer to cater the way I teach a student based on how they learn, whether it be by visuals, repetition, etc. I create methods that are out of the box if a student struggles with the way she/he are learning in school since school tends to teach in a uniform method rather than on an individualized basis.
I am a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, where I earned a Bachelors of Science in Biology. Throughout my three years of undergrad, I have been a preceptor for Cell Biology and Genetics. In addition, I was a supplemental instruction leader in CHEM 101 and CHEM 102. I am currently a Medical Scribe, but I will be attending VCOM for medical school starting Fall 2018.
I am an avid enthusiast for following your passions, no matter what they are. I enjoy teaching and spending time with others. I have a great vast amount of experience tutoring other peers, students, children, etc. I hope that I can help others reach their goals in learning!
I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.
I am a graduate of Tufts University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English as well as a minor in History. Since graduation, I have worked as a 7th grade Reading Language Arts teacher in Dallas Texas at a newly formed public all boys school. This has provided me with great experience and insight into how students best learn and how to create culturally responsive lessons that students will engage with. I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, and Spanish. In my experience, working to prepare students for state standardized tests has had the additional benefit of helping students to discover what they enjoy reading about. This increase in intrinsic motivation to read has had an important impact on struggling students. I am dedicated towards ensuring that students are provided with an education that increases their quality of life.
I am a two-time graduate of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, receiving a bachelor's degree in English in 2008 and a master's degree in secondary education in 2009. Since graduation, I have worked teaching high school English and coaching wrestling in a relatively poor and rural district just south of Richmond. Though I am fully qualified and capable of tutoring any subject related to English, one of the things I have enjoyed the most success with as a teacher is preparation for standardized tests. I also very much enjoy teaching British literature and the writing process. There is no better feeling to me than seeing the gratitude in a student's face when he or she exceeds expectations and can go on to complete the next step in his or her educational journey. Outside of teaching, I am a rabid baseball fan (Let's go, Mets!), I love going to concerts, and I enjoy hanging out with my cats.
I am often asked by friends to help them with their math homework. I have spent countless hours teaching calculus to engineering, computer science, physics, and economics majors. Being one of seven children, I have been helping my sibling with math for as long as I can remember. I believe that a solid understanding of mathematics is crucial to success, and the demand for people with quantitative skills is only growing.
I am confident that I can help raise your exam scores and improve your overall test-taking abilities.
I am today, so tutoring seems like a good way to give others the same support I received.
I am able to help kids with the material when they don't understand what the teacher is saying.
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with an emphasis in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic. As part of my coursework, I studied Arabic for three years and spent a semester in Amman, Jordan. After graduating, I worked on a U.S. Senate campaign, then interned at a think tank and congressional office in Washington, DC. While at the think tank, I co-authored an article that was published in US News and World Report. I am currently pursuing my juris doctorate (JD) at the University of Georgia School of Law.
I am available to help students with any topics they are struggling with in their high school or early college-level Physics courses.
Preparing for the LSAT with someone who's already used it to get into Harvard Law School changes the dynamic — Marin knows what a competitive score looks like and how to build a study plan that targets each section's specific demands. She breaks the exam into its component skills: argument analysis for Logical Reasoning, passage mapping for Reading Comprehension, and systematic diagramming for Analytical Reasoning. Students get concrete strategies rather than vague advice about "reading more carefully."
I am a recent cum laude graduate of the University of Amsterdam's Masters in Economics Program where I specialized in Monetary Policy and Banking. While there, I worked as a teaching assistant and tutored in economics and mathematics. Prior to that, I worked as an ESL teacher for two years in Russia and China.
I am ready to help all students by answering their questions and frequently addressing some questions to them....
As a dedicated tutor pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, I am passionate about empowering students to excel in subjects like AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, and AP Physics C: Mechanics. I also am looking forward to teaching various electrical engineering and computing concepts. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I focus on creating a supportive learning environment where students can build confidence and develop critical thinking skills. I hope that I can create an environment where learning is fulfilling and isn't done as a means to get a good grade for a class, but rather to build a rich mental model of the world. I love answer questions, exploring ideas, and creating real world connections from what students are learning to where it is applied. I hope to use my wide range of experience in the arts, sports, and engineering, to answer a plethora of question and never shy away from any question!
I'm a current student at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Statistics and Machine Learning, with minors in Business and Artificial Intelligence. I'm passionate about helping high school students succeed in computer science and math, and I've seen firsthand how a strong foundation can make all the difference. With 4+ years of mentoring experience, including leading the largest high school debate team in my state, I adapt to different learning styles and focus on building confidence through patience and clear communication. I strive to make learning engaging, supportive, and enjoyable. Outside of academics, I'm a dancer of 15 years who occasionally teaches ballet, an avid gym goer and hiker with over 200 miles hiked and visits to all top 10 national parks, and a fan of the NFL and NBA. I also love working on projects like coding games for hackathons and exploring startup ideas, bringing that same energy and creativity into my tutoring.
I currently work as a Software Engineer and I have been tutoring students for quite some time and many have seen significant improvements in grades and overall understanding of concepts. I assess students' needs and level of knowledge, work to create customized lesson plans for each student, and provide material to improve my students' comprehension of topics taught in school. I also offer tips and tricks to improve both accuracy and speed in both English and Mathematics and supplement students' school work in providing homework that aim to reinforce concepts and stimulate creativity. Give your child the advantage and help them achieve academic excellence with my one on one tutoring services! The students I have worked with improved their grades from a C to an A and are even being given the opportunity to take extra enrichment classes as a result of their performance in class. I can offer tips and tricks to make this possible! Feel free to reach out with questions about my qualifications or to get to know me! I'm looking forward to working with you!
I am passionate about helping others and would love to help you to achieve your academic goals! Writing and language are my strongest suits, and I have plenty of experience working with kids and communicating with individuals of all age groups. You will gain a source of encouragement as well as practical help from my tutoring services.
I am a current junior at Yale University majoring in biomedical engineering. I have taken all math classes up to Discrete Math and have over 7 years of tutoring experience across all fields. I work hard to ensure my tutoring is effective for every one of my students. I love finding creative ways to help students learn and also engage with their subjects. It is my goal that they will not only improve in their subjects, but leave with a new sense of appreciation for learning. I specialize in tutoring mathematics. Mathematics courses that I tutor in include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus 1/AB. I also aid in college exam prep, including the SAT and ACT. I pride myself in being a patient and kind tutor. I love getting to know students and finding creative ways to efficiently teach them, while also growing a passion for the subject. It is my strong belief that anyone can learn anything with the right teacher! When I am not doing research with a biomedical engineering related lab (domestically and abroad), I love to run and also play music including cello and classical singing.
I am a chemistry and environmental science student at the University of Virginia. In high school I completed the IB diploma program and took chemistry, math, english and history at the higher level. I tutor in Middle school math, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, IB Math (HL,SL and Studies), Calculus 1, Calculus 2, IB Chemistry (SL and HL), IB Environmental Systems and Societies, Ecology, and SAT math test prep. I have experience tutoring students in IB courses and non-IB courses. When I tutor I try to lead you to right answer by asking you questions to determine what you already know, clearing up misconceptions, and getting you to think critically about the material. This tutoring strategy is particularly effective for IB exams or application questions that test critical thinking in addition to your mastery of the subject matter.
I am in graduate school and she is in undergraduate college, we have regular online sessions where I explain her the concepts as best as possible.
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia (UVA) originally from Fairfield, Connecticut. I am pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Global Public Health on the pre-med track with the hopes of becoming a physician (hopefully in pediatrics). At UVA, I am involved in youth mentoring as a Program Director of "GEMS" (Girls Excited about Math and Science), where I teach exciting lessons and conduct experiments with a class of elementary school girls in a variety of scientific topics, while I am also the Head Program Director of Youth Mentoring at UVA. I was also involved in tutoring throughout high school, where I worked with a group of special needs students. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Science (especially Biology and Chemistry), and Humanities, which are most strongly reflected in my own studies. In my experience in the areas of reading and writing in particular, strong literary thinking skills helped me to be more creative and set myself apart in many of my applications to college, so I am passionate about helping students of any age to become stronger writers. I am also passionate about enhancing students' skills in critical thinking, especially through STEM topics, which can set students up for success in any difficult course or standardized test. I hope to instill a strong appreciation for education and learning within each of my students, and I believe that the first step is to help students feel more confident in their areas of interest while setting goals for the future. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, traveling, painting, and playing soccer.
Scoring well on the LSAT requires three distinct skill sets — argument analysis, reading under pressure, and formal logic — and Stephanie covers all three sections with equal depth. Her English and linguistics background is a genuine advantage on a test that's fundamentally about language: parsing dense prose, spotting structural flaws in arguments, and reading precisely enough to avoid trap answers. She's rated 5.0 by students and takes a methodical, section-by-section approach to building the habits that move scores.
I am a recent college graduate from Columbia University with a lot of experience in research and writing. My major was Human Rights and I am passionate about the issues that I engage with. I received my associate's degree from Bergen Community College in 2014 and my Bachelors from Columbia in 2017. At Bergen Community, I worked in the tutoring center focusing on assisting students with writing in any subject. I also tutor English and the SAT.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.
I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.
Currently a second-year law student at the University of Chicago, Elena tackled the LSAT recently enough to remember exactly where the logic games and conditional reasoning trips people up. She teaches Analytical Reasoning by breaking each game into setup diagrams and inference chains, so students stop staring at the board and start eliminating answers with confidence. Her perfect 1600 SAT speaks to her comfort with high-stakes standardized tests, and her 4.9 rating shows that approach translates to her students.
I'm Anna! I'm currently a student in the MD/MBA program between Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the Kellogg School of Management, and graduated from Northwestern University as part of the Honors Program in Medical Education. I attended the Bergen County Academies in New Jersey, a selective, application-based magnet school, for high school.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment, but most students see meaningful gains with personalized instruction focused on their specific weak areas. Many students improve by 5-10 points or more when they work with a tutor to identify patterns in their mistakes, refine test-taking strategies, and practice under timed conditions. The key is targeting your individual challenges—whether that's logic games timing, reading comprehension accuracy, or logical reasoning question types—rather than generic test prep.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand and where you want to go. A tutor will likely review your practice test scores, discuss your target law schools and score goals, and identify which LSAT sections give you the most trouble. This diagnostic approach helps create a personalized study plan that addresses your specific needs, whether you need help with logic games strategy, reading comprehension pacing, or logical reasoning question types.
Logic games challenge most LSAT test-takers because they require both pattern recognition and speed under pressure. A tutor can teach you diagramming techniques tailored to different game types, help you recognize common setups quickly, and develop a pacing strategy so you don't waste time on difficult games. With targeted practice and feedback on your approach, you'll build the confidence and efficiency needed to handle this section consistently.
Most students benefit from taking 15-20 full-length practice tests spread throughout their study period, with your tutor helping you analyze mistakes after each one. The goal isn't just volume—it's using each test to identify patterns in your errors, refine your strategy, and build stamina for the actual exam. Your tutor can help you space these tests strategically and focus your study time on the question types where you're losing points.
Timing is one of the biggest LSAT challenges because you have roughly 8-9 minutes per logical reasoning question and about 35 minutes for the entire reading comprehension section. A tutor can help you develop a personalized pacing strategy based on your strengths—for example, tackling easier questions first to build confidence, or spending more time on logic games if that's your stronger section. With practice and feedback, you'll learn to balance accuracy with speed rather than rushing through sections.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about your approach, which personalized tutoring directly addresses. By working through practice tests with a tutor, receiving specific feedback, and building a clear strategy for each section, you'll develop genuine confidence in your preparation. Many students also benefit from discussing test-day logistics with a tutor—knowing what to expect, how to pace yourself, and having a backup plan for difficult moments can significantly reduce anxiety.
Look for tutors with strong LSAT scores themselves, experience helping students improve their scores, and deep knowledge of test structure and strategy across all three sections. Ideally, your tutor should have experience with different learning styles and be able to explain not just the right answer, but why other options are wrong. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who bring this combination of expertise and teaching skill to help you reach your goals.
Most students benefit from 2-4 months of focused LSAT preparation, with tutoring sessions ranging from 1-2 times per week depending on your timeline and starting score. Your tutor can help you create a study schedule that balances intensive practice with time to absorb strategies and review mistakes. The exact timeline depends on your target score and how much time you can dedicate to independent practice between sessions.
