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 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!

Roshni
BA Virginia Commonwealth University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

She's especially useful for students who need to tighten their pacing on the algebra-heavy portions, since her coding background trained her to think in efficient, step-by-step logic rather than brute-forcing every calculation.

Software engineering sharpens a very specific habit: translating a messy real-world problem into clean, step-by-step logic — which is exactly what the SAT Math section demands on its algebra and word-problem questions. Aditi applies that programmer's instinct for breaking down complexity when she teaches students to convert the test's deliberately tangled setups into straightforward equations they can solve quickly. Her experience tutoring across both math and English means she also catches the reading-comprehension mistakes that cost points before a student ever picks up a pencil.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation. Students who work with a tutor typically improve 50-100+ points by focusing on their specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy. The key is identifying exactly which concepts or question types are holding you back, then practicing strategically rather than just doing more problems.

Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand and what you need most. A tutor will likely review your practice test results, discuss your target score, and identify patterns in the types of problems you're missing—whether it's calculator-allowed questions, grid-in problems, or conceptual gaps. This diagnostic approach means your tutoring plan is tailored to your specific challenges rather than generic test prep.

The biggest hurdles are typically pacing (running out of time on harder problems), misunderstanding what questions are asking, and gaps in foundational algebra and geometry concepts. Many students also struggle with the transition between calculator and no-calculator sections, or they miss "trap" answers designed to catch common mistakes. A tutor can help you recognize these patterns in your own work and develop strategies to avoid them.

Effective pacing starts with knowing your strengths—spend less time on easy problems and save more time for harder ones where you're likely to gain points. Practice tests are essential here; they help you learn how fast you naturally work and where you tend to get stuck. A tutor can teach you strategic skipping, help you recognize which problem types you should tackle first, and build your confidence on harder questions so you don't waste time second-guessing yourself.

Practice tests are crucial—they're the most accurate way to predict your actual test day score and identify which concepts or question formats trip you up. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions helps you build stamina and reveals patterns in your mistakes that targeted tutoring can address. Most students benefit from taking 4-6 practice tests during their prep period, with a tutor helping you analyze what went wrong and why.

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about how to approach unfamiliar problems. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence by ensuring you understand the concepts, recognize question patterns, and have proven strategies for tackling tough problems. Knowing you've practiced similar questions and have a plan for managing your time and emotions can significantly reduce anxiety on test day.

Look for someone with strong math knowledge who also understands the SAT specifically—how College Board designs questions, common traps, and what strategies actually work. Experience helping students improve their scores and the ability to explain concepts clearly are equally important. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven track records in SAT Math preparation and can adapt their teaching to your learning style.

Most students benefit from 2-4 tutoring sessions per week combined with independent practice between sessions—typically 5-10 hours of total prep time weekly over 8-12 weeks. The exact schedule depends on your starting score and target, but consistency matters more than cramming. A tutor can help you create a realistic study plan that fits your schedule and builds momentum toward test day.
