I want students to feel heard, supported, and challenged to be their best selves. I bring 6 years of tutoring experience in English, Math, Science, Spanish, and AP and SAT prep with students from all backgrounds, from elementary school students learning to read and write, to middle schoolers working on public speaking, to high schoolers preparing for exams and college admissions. Whatever your goals might be, I'd love to help you reach them!

I'm drawn to those topics myself, they are the things I am most passionate about, and therefore the things I love to teach and the subjects in which I love to share what knowledge I have. I believe enthusiasm goes a long way, and that some of my best teachers have been the ones who loved their subjects the most.
Hi, I'm Kristy and I recently graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in International Economics. I have almost two years of experience tutoring middle and high schoolers in math and SAT prep, and was an economics teaching assistant for at Georgetown last year! I love breaking down intimidating concepts into something you can actually see and work with, and I truly believe that with the right instruction, any student can succeed. I'm excited to help each student however I can.
I'm not spending hours reading Nietzsche, I'm doing improv comedy and graphic design. I'm currently pursuing a career in advertising/consulting, and in my spare time I eat mini tacos and watch Louis CK stand-up comedy.
I am a graduate of University of California, San Diego. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on International Relations, and a minor in Philosophy. Since graduation, I've been interning at a policy think-tank in Washington, D.C. I really enjoy tutoring a broad range of subjectsfrom math to test prep to writingbecause it keeps me intellectually active and on my toes. I really like to tutor by leading my partner through an analysis of his/her thought process in problem-solving; I've found it's a really effective way to break bad mental habits and create new, good ones.
I'm especially passionate about helping with English, college application essays, and SAT Writing. I remember firsthand how challenging the college application process can be, so I find it fulfilling to help students discern their own narratives and share techniques to help them succeed. As a 10-time tournament champion in Impromptu speaking, I also love coaching students in public speech and helping them build their confidence!
I am currently a graduate student at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My teaching experience spans several years and age groups. As a high school student, I volunteered as a teaching assistant for a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help them build strong foundations during some of their most important academic years!
I'm Alicia, a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, and graduate student in Writing at Columbia University.
I am a proponent for the social sciences, it was important that I compliment this understanding with a major in the humanities. I decided to double major in Philosophy and Political Science, giving myself the breadth required to formally contemplate life and society. I needed philosophy to attain a grasp of personhood. This would allow me to reflect more deeply on the individual within structures that serve to hinder or enhance their life experience. In classes, I found myself pulling philosophical concepts and using them to analyze working political ideologies' efficacy in society.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school as well. I have been fortunate to have already been accepted into a couple of schools. I would love to help you prepare for the MCATs and get a head start on your medical school application. I think this one-on-one tutoring model can be a powerful study method in preparing you for success in both the classroom and on standardized tests. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, running, playing board games, and performing/learning magic tricks!
I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.
I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!
I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.
I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.
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.
I am a student at Cornell University pursuing a double major in Biological Sciences, concentrating in computational biology, and Computer Science. I have tutored math, biology, physics, and French to middle school and high school students. I have also facilitated group discussion sessions for English language learners. I love learning new things and helping others understand these concepts as well.
I'm experienced in and passionate about (especially computer skills, Python, and math) with others. I try to convey the principles and thought process that are the basis of my own understanding of the subject, not just rules to follow or things to memorize. Being able to explain your answer is even more important than simply getting it right! My tutoring style is personalized, with plenty of examples and frequent knowledge checks to ensure I and my student(s) are in sync. In my spare time I enjoy cycling, skiing, woodworking, reading, and vacationing to Lake Superior.
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific, formulaic kinds of questions, but also imparts the skills necessary for adapting to the diverse intellectual challenges that life presents. My goal is always for my students to leave their sessions having learned something that will be useful for years to come, not just on the next test that they are preparing for. After all, education is a lifelong process!
I am a first year medical student at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. I have been a private tutor in the past in subjects such as math, biology, chemistry, and the SATs and every single one of my more than twenty students have shown significant improvement. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching, and your needs and preferences as the learner will always be paramount. I hope to help every one of my students reach every bit of their potential, and along the way, to utterly shatter any self-induced limitations that have been placed upon what they can accomplish.
I am a rising senior at Harvard College pursuing an AB in Government. Academically, I have diverse interests, including history, language, math, physics, philosophy, music, and politics. In high school, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in music, math, ACT and SAT prep, and Spanish. At Harvard, I spent a year as a course assistant in the math department, helping to teach introductory undergraduate calculus. Currently, I volunteer with the Leadership Institute at Harvard College (LIHC) as part of its Social Outreach Committee. This work involves teaching a weekly course called "Fundamentals of Leadership" to a class of middle school students. Overall, I have found my experiences tutoring math to be the most rewarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused, personalized instruction. If you're scoring in the mid-range on Logical Reasoning, improvement of 3-5 points is realistic with dedicated practice. Students starting from a lower baseline often see larger percentage gains. The key is identifying your specific weak points—whether that's flaw questions, assumption questions, or timing—and addressing them systematically rather than reviewing content broadly.
The three biggest challenges are: (1) Question type confusion—students often struggle to identify what a question is actually asking before diving into the stimulus, leading to wrong answers despite understanding the passage; (2) Timing pressure—trying to read and analyze complex arguments while racing the clock causes careless mistakes; and (3) Distinguishing close answers—even strong readers struggle to eliminate tricky wrong answers that seem similar to the correct one. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach to each question type and build the pattern recognition skills that come from strategic practice rather than just doing more questions.
Most test-takers have about 1.5 minutes per question, but the best strategy isn't to spend exactly that time on every question. Instead, spend 45-60 seconds quickly identifying the question type and argument structure, then invest more time in eliminating answers carefully rather than re-reading. A smarter approach is to do easier questions first, even if they're not first in the section—get quick points, build confidence, then tackle harder stimulus arguments. Personalized tutoring helps you identify your question types—the ones you can do faster and the ones requiring more focus—so you can allocate time strategically instead of linearly.
For students preparing for the LSAT, consistent practice 4-5 times per week with dedicated Logical Reasoning work yields the best results. This doesn't mean doing full sections every day—mix focused drills on question types you find difficult with full-section practice under timed conditions. Quality matters more than quantity: doing 20 questions while actively analyzing why you missed something is more valuable than doing 50 questions mechanically. A tutor helps you structure this practice, track patterns in your mistakes, and adjust difficulty as you improve, so your study time directly targets your weaknesses rather than repeating mistakes.
LSAT Logical Reasoning breaks down into core question types: assumption/sufficient assumption, weaken/strengthen, flaw identification, parallel reasoning, and main point/conclusion questions, among others. Each requires different reading and elimination strategies. Beyond question types, you'll work on argument structure recognition (identifying premises, conclusions, and gaps), formal logic patterns (conditional statements, scope shifts), and answer choice psychology (why tricky wrong answers appeal to test-takers). A personalized tutor assesses which question types trip you up most and can dedicate more time there, rather than treating all questions equally.
Test anxiety on Logical Reasoning often stems from two sources: (1) uncertainty about being right—you finish but doubt your answer, and (2) time pressure panic—when you hit a hard question and start rushing through remaining ones. Building confidence comes from repeated success, which is why timed practice tests matter; your brain learns that you can finish and get a solid score. Between practice sessions, a tutor can also teach you the breathing and mental reset techniques that help you stay calm during the actual test. Starting with untimed practice to build accuracy, then gradually introducing time pressure, helps anxiety feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
The best LSAT Logical Reasoning tutor has three things: (1) deep expertise in LSAT specifics—they understand how LSAC designs questions and the patterns across released tests, not just general logic; (2) diagnostic skill—they can quickly identify whether you're missing questions due to reading comprehension gaps, logic gaps, or pacing, so tutoring targets the actual problem; and (3) teaching flexibility—they adjust to your learning style, whether you need visual diagrams of argument structure, written notes, or verbal explanation. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in Washington, DC who specialize in LSAT prep and can customize their teaching to your specific challenges and score goals.
