Jeanette

Admissions Tutor • +9 Subjects

I graduated with high distinction with my master's degree in English, and in my undergraduate studies, I received the English department's Writer's Award in Literature and graduated summa cum laude. For two years, I taught English 101 residentially and online at my alma mater. My decision to study English was motivated by my love of reading and writing stories, and I enjoy tutoring because it enables me to help students understand what they read and express their thoughts effectively in their writing. Currently, I teach ESL online. I love working with students in the subjects of English grammar, English literature, and composition and rhetoric. In my free time, I enjoy reading all kinds of books, writing stories, playing video games, knitting, solving puzzles, and spending time with my family.

Briana

College English Tutor • +14 Subjects

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia, where I double majored in Psychology and Cognitive Science. More recently, I received my M.S. in Criminal Justice from the Wilder School of Government & Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University. During my time at VCU, I had the privilege of serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, which allowed me the opportunity to teach undergraduate courses. Among my responsibilities as a TA, my favorite tasks involved my ability to work one-on-one with students and see them improve their grades over the course of the semester with my help. These days I am most interested in improving the critical thinking and critical writing skills of students who will comprise the next generation of college graduates and working professionals. The ability to express oneself clearly through writing is an invaluable skill both within academia and the professional workforce. I believe it is my job to provide students with the necessary preparation and skills they will need to succeed in a college environment and beyond. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction (with a special soft spot for sci-fi/fantasy), running and training for my next marathon, and experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen.

Sourav

AP Chemistry Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am currently a Chemistry professor at the State University of New York. I earned my Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Connecticut. I have been teaching Chemistry for the past 10+ years at different levels. During this time, I gained experience in teaching students with different backgrounds, majors, and abilities. My objective as a teacher is to motivate my students to develop their own learning interests and reflective thinking to establish a learning-centered environment. I also participated as a tutor in Quantitative Learning Center, at the University of Connecticut and assisted students from various disciplines via peer tutoring and held monthly review sessions before the exams.I think what makes me an outstanding tutor is the experience I have and I the ability I have in connecting with the students. I guide the students to solve the problems rather than giving them the solution. My objective is to motivate my students to develop their own learning interests and critical thinking- to establish a learning-centered environment in the classroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Students typically see meaningful progress within 4-8 weeks of regular sessions, especially when they combine tutoring with practice between appointments. Some students improve by 10-15 points on the TASC Math section, while others gain more if they're addressing fundamental gaps. The key is identifying exactly which math concepts are holding you back and practicing those skills repeatedly with feedback from a tutor.

Students often struggle with algebra and functions, especially multi-step equations and function notation. Word problems are another frequent pain point because they require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical expressions. Geometry and measurement topics like area, volume, and coordinate geometry also trip up many test-takers. Additionally, students sometimes rush through problems without checking their work or misunderstand what a question is actually asking. A tutor can help you slow down, develop a systematic approach to each question type, and build confidence in these challenging areas.

Pacing struggles usually stem from spending too much time on difficult problems or getting stuck on calculation errors. Effective strategies include: tackling easier problems first to build confidence and points, marking challenging questions to return to later, and using estimation to eliminate obviously wrong answers quickly. Practicing full-length timed sections helps you develop a realistic sense of how long each problem should take. A tutor can teach you these strategic approaches and help you practice them repeatedly so they become automatic on test day, reducing anxiety and improving your overall score.

Effective TASC Math tutoring begins by identifying your specific weak areas through practice tests and diagnostic questions. From there, tutoring focuses on teaching the underlying concepts you're struggling with, not just memorizing test tricks. Sessions include working through actual TASC-style problems, receiving real-time feedback on your approach, and learning strategies for the question types that challenge you most. Most tutors recommend bringing recent practice tests or problem sets you've worked on so you can review mistakes together. Between sessions, consistent practice is essential—tutoring works best when it's paired with your own study time.

Most students benefit from 1-2 tutoring sessions per week for 4-8 weeks before test day, though your ideal schedule depends on your baseline skills and how much time you can dedicate to studying. If you're starting with significant gaps in foundational math, more frequent sessions early on can accelerate progress. Equally important is what you do between sessions—aiming for 3-5 hours of independent practice weekly is a realistic benchmark. Varsity Tutors can help you design a personalized tutoring plan that fits your timeline and learning pace, ensuring you're prepared without feeling rushed.

The TASC Math section includes multiple-choice questions, technology-enhanced items (like drag-and-drop or fill-in-the-blank), and constructed-response problems. Each format requires a slightly different approach. For example, multiple-choice questions sometimes allow you to work backward from answer choices, while constructed-response questions demand that you show your reasoning clearly. A tutor can expose you to each question type repeatedly, helping you understand what each format is testing and how to approach it systematically. Practice tests are invaluable here—working through them with a tutor lets you discuss your strategy for each question type before test day.

Taking a full-length TASC Math practice test is the best first step. Review which problems you missed or found confusing, and look for patterns—do you struggle more with algebra, geometry, data analysis, or a specific skill like solving equations? You can also work through individual problem sets on topics you suspect are weak. A tutor can administer a diagnostic assessment to pinpoint exactly which concepts and skills need the most attention, then create a focused study plan. This targeted approach is much more efficient than trying to review everything, and it builds momentum as you see improvement in your weakest areas.
