I am very excited to have the chance to work with students preparing for the PSAT, the SAT, or the LSAT! While I'm originally from Connecticut, I attended college and law school in Buffalo, New York. While there, I worked for a test prep agency helping students prepare for the SAT and the LSAT. In 2003, I moved to Richmond. I worked with the Virginia Department of Taxation for 7 years doing policy work and assisting with the legislative process. In 2011, I began working for Bryant and Stratton College, where I taught students in the Paralegal Studies program. I loved helping my students prepare for new careers. I can't wait to work with you and help you succeed as well!

The BS/MD program at VCU means Roshni is still close enough to her own 1550 SAT to remember exactly which math topics felt straightforward and which ones required a deliberate strategy shift — particularly the geometry and trigonometry questions that students often under-practice relative to algebra. Her eight months teaching math to students ages 5 through 18 sharpened her ability to adjust explanations on the fly, meeting a calculus-ready junior and a still-building-foundations sophomore with completely different language. Rated 4.9 by students.
Joel scored a 1510 on the SAT and breaks the math section down into its core skill areas — heart of algebra, passport to advanced math, and problem solving with data analysis — so students know exactly what to expect. His biochemistry background means the calculator and no-calculator sections feel intuitive, especially on problems involving ratios, percentages, and interpreting graphs. Rated 5.0 by students.
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 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 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Students who work with a tutor typically improve 50-100+ points by identifying their specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy—and targeting practice accordingly. The key is consistent practice between sessions combined with personalized feedback on your approach.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges students face, since you have about 1.4 minutes per question on average. A tutor can help you develop strategies like identifying which question types you can solve quickly versus those requiring more thought, and when to skip and return to harder problems. Practice tests under timed conditions are essential—they help you build speed without sacrificing accuracy, and show you exactly where you're losing time.
The best way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then review your wrong answers by topic—algebra, advanced math, problem-solving, geometry, and trigonometry. A tutor can analyze your results to spot patterns: Are you missing certain question types? Making careless errors under time pressure? Struggling with conceptual understanding? Once you identify the real issue, targeted practice on those specific skills is far more efficient than reviewing everything.
Absolutely. Much of test anxiety comes from feeling unprepared or unsure of your approach—both things tutoring directly addresses. By building confidence through practice, learning proven test-taking strategies, and working through timed practice tests in a low-pressure environment, you'll feel more in control on test day. A tutor can also teach you specific techniques to manage stress, like breaking problems into smaller steps and knowing when to move on rather than getting stuck.
The SAT Math section includes multiple-choice questions and student-produced response (grid-in) questions across topics like algebra, advanced math, problem-solving, geometry, and trigonometry. Each question type has its own strategy—for example, multiple-choice lets you use answer choices to check your work, while grid-ins require you to be precise with your answer format. A tutor can walk you through the nuances of each format and show you which strategies work best for your learning style.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week over 8-12 weeks leading up to test day, though this depends on your starting score and target goal. Consistency matters more than frequency—regular sessions combined with practice between meetings help material stick. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule that fits your school workload and builds toward your goal score without burning out.
Practice tests do two critical things: they show you exactly which topics and question types trip you up, and they train your brain to work under time pressure. Taking full-length tests under timed conditions is the closest simulation to test day, so you can identify pacing issues, careless mistakes, and knowledge gaps before they count. A tutor can help you review each practice test strategically, focusing on understanding why you missed questions rather than just getting the right answer.
Your first session is about getting to know you and understanding where you stand. You'll likely take a diagnostic test or review your recent practice test results, discuss your target score and timeline, and talk about your biggest challenges with math. From there, Varsity Tutors connects you with a tutor who can create a personalized study plan tailored to your specific needs and learning style.
