...Nairobi, Kenya, teaching at an all-girls school. I greatly enjoy tutoring both history (and related social studies) and mathematics because I see them as two different ways of telling stories about the world in which we live. Tutoring history means building stories out of a collection of facts, a love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - with a father from Cape Town,...

I think the key to helping students trying to explain something in various ways until I find an explanation that clicks for that particular student. I also strongly believe in drawing pictures to explain concepts and to help visualize problems. I've even developed a lecture...

GRE Quantitative Tutoring FAQ
An individual's GRE results are required for entrance to many graduate schools in the U.S. This standardized test is administered by the Educational Testing Service (or ETS). Quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, and analytical writing are all measured by the computer-based GRE. The exam costs $205, though the ETS offers financial aid for applicants experiencing financial hardship. Different graduate schools, and even different departments within a single school, put a different emphasis on the results of the GRE. Varsity Tutors can help you find an expert tutor to assist you in your pursuit of your GRE Quantitative section goals.
The Quantitative section of the GRE is used to assess math knowledge, focusing on problem-solving and reasoning skills. There are 20 questions to complete in each of two Quantitative sections. Test-takers are given 35 minutes for each section. The GRE is a computer-adaptive exam. This means that the difficulty of the questions will be determined by your performance.
Although the GRE is judged differently by different graduate programs, you should focus on the Quantitative section if you are going into a career in finance, business, economics, engineering, or other fields that require strong mathematical and problem-solving skills. These could include risk management, actuarial science, or any of the many career areas that a strong mathematical mind can excel in. By connecting with a personal GRE Quantitative tutor, you can focus on this section effectively.
Studying with a private GRE Quantitative tutor gives you many advantages over studying by yourself or with a group. For one, your tutor has already been through the exam, so he or she can teach you not only content, but test-taking skills geared specifically toward the GRE. Additionally, as you study with your tutor, he or she can answer any questions that pops up in real time. Whether you need to spend a little more time on data interpretation or if you are already doing well enough to fly through Quantitative comparisons, your tutor can accommodate you and use your time together effectively and efficiently.
You can expect to find a GRE Quantitative tutor with assistance from Varsity Tutors who can meet where and when it is convenient for you. You can even work with your tutor online, through our live learning platform. The flexibility in time and location is one of the best perks of working with a private tutor.
