Between a biochemistry degree and a master's in biology, Thomas has run enough statistical analyses and quantitative problem sets to recognize the GRE Quant section for what it is — recycled algebra, ratios, geometry, and data interpretation dressed up in deliberately tricky phrasing. He teaches across the full math ladder from pre-algebra through differential equations, which means he can spot exactly where a rusty concept is causing downstream errors and fix it at the root. Rated 4.8 by students.

Scoring 770 on her own Quantitative section, Elizabeth knows the GRE math isn't about advanced concepts — it's about recognizing which arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or data analysis principle a question is really testing beneath its wording. She taught GRE prep as an adjunct professor at American University and developed formula guides and shortcut strategies specifically for the Quantitative Comparison and Data Interpretation question types. Her students learn to spot the traps ETS builds into answer choices rather than grinding through brute-force calculations.
My teaching philosophy is focused on a single objective - that students learn. I have a Ph.D. in Criminology from the University of Pennsylvania and a J.D. from Temple Law School. My GRE score was a 326, and my LSAT score was a 173. I've tutored over 60 students through Varsity Tutors. I'm committed to helping students reach their full potentials.
Having taught high school math abroad through the Peace Corps and later completed quantitative coursework in her MPH at Emory, Irina has cycled through the exact algebra, ratios, and data analysis concepts the GRE Quant section recycles — multiple times, in multiple contexts. She's especially sharp at diagnosing the specific rusty spots that trip up students who haven't touched formal math since undergrad, then building targeted practice around those gaps.
Hello, my name is Destiny and I graduated from Howard University. I majored in Psychology with a minor in Biology and Administration of Justice. One of the most important lessons I've learned from school is the value of asking for help. This can be the difference between simply memorizing some facts and truly understanding the material given to you. In many cases, learning in a traditional school setting is not effective and students should feel free to reach out for extra guidance. I strive to be that source of guidance for all students who need it. I believe that everyone learns in their own way and that the key to helping someone else lies in finding their unique style of learning. I take great pleasure in finding those styles and using them to enrich students minds. My main areas of expertise are Psychology and English. Ive been reading at a college level since middle school and scored 5s on both AP English tests. I also scored a 5 on the AP Psychology exam in addition to receiving As in all my psychology classes. I have extensive experience with essay writing, essay editing, and researching. Other subjects I can assist with include Algebra I and II, Geometry, and SAT/ACT prep. Outside of class, I like to stay busy with school activities and hobbies. I spend most of my time playing the trumpet in my schools marching band or studying. But when I have free time, I typically catch up with my shows or read.
I am a graduate of Grinnell College, a private liberal arts college located in Grinnell, Iowa. I have a Bachelor of the Arts in Computer Science from Grinnell's Department of Math and Computer Science. Since graduation I have tutored students of a wide variety of ages and background in a number of subjects. I have tutored middle school students in the Chicago area in Math and science and high school students in advanced Math, chemistry, writing, and helped them prepare for standardized tests for college admittance. I have also tutored adults preparing for academic proficiency tests for their jobs and with GRE prep for those interested in going to graduate school. Additionally I have taught English grammar, reading, and conversational skills to ESL students in Chicago, Ecuador, and Colombia. While I tutor a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy helping students with standardized test strategy and following their scores as they increase towards their goal. When I tutor, I aim to lead students to an answer by example so that they can see the reasoning involved themselves, rather than me just telling them the answer. The more the students can come to their own solutions, the more memorable the lessons will be. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing skill games like scrabble, bridge, and poker, and outdoor activities like biking, camping, and canoeing when the weather is nice.
Reviews from students: "I loved how you explained math. You were able to explain formulas so they made sense and it was engaging. Thank you for making math interesting." - Ferol Conklin "I have published over 20 articles, and no one has ever edited my articles as thoroughly or as helpfully as you did." - Mark Ragel "The instructor was the best I had at this university." - Spanish student, University of Illinois "Elle was kind, patient, and funny. She seemed to really enjoy teaching." - Spanish student, University of Illinois I have three years professional teaching experience and several years of tutoring experience. I have always been a teacher at heart. I feel my biggest strength as a tutor is looking at material from the perspective of the student. I have also been described as a calm, patient, passionate, and fun tutor. I think lesson plans should be interesting to motivate students to care about the subject and engage in the process of learning. I worked as a Spanish TA at the University of Illinois for two years as as the main instructor for over 200 students. I have also worked as a middle school teacher. I have experience tutoring a variety of subjects, including test prep, reading and writing, and various levels of math. My degrees are in Linguistics, Spanish, and Journalism, with a minor in Math.
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 an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment. Many students see meaningful gains of 5-10 points within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation, though larger improvements typically require more time. The GRE Quantitative section scores from 130-170, and improvement usually comes from identifying weak content areas, mastering question patterns, and building test-taking confidence.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can assess your current level, pinpoint specific gaps, and create a targeted plan. Your tutor will help you focus on the concepts and question types that matter most for your score goals, rather than general test prep.
The Quantitative section gives you about 1.75 minutes per question on average, but smart pacing means spending less time on easier questions and more on harder ones. Many students rush through early problems and get stuck later, burning time and confidence.
A personalized tutor can teach you to recognize question difficulty patterns, identify when to skip strategically, and allocate time based on your strengths. They'll also help you practice full sections under timed conditions so timing becomes automatic rather than stressful on test day.
Common trouble areas include data interpretation with multiple graphs, word problems requiring careful reading, coordinate geometry, and probability/combinatorics. Many students also struggle with quantitative comparisons, where you need to determine relationships between two quantities quickly.
Getting matched with a tutor means you can focus on your specific weak areas rather than reviewing everything. If word problems trip you up but you're solid on algebra, your tutor will concentrate there. They'll explain not just the answer, but the reasoning behind question design so you can spot and solve similar problems confidently.
Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full-length practice tests spaced throughout their study period. This builds endurance, reveals patterns in your mistakes, and helps you refine pacing. The official ETS practice tests are the most accurate predictors of actual performance.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who'll help you review practice tests strategically—not just checking answers, but analyzing why you missed questions and adjusting your approach. Many students waste practice tests by not extracting lessons from them; a tutor ensures each one strengthens your skills.
A typical preparation timeline is 4-12 weeks depending on your baseline skills and target score. Most students benefit from 10-15 hours per week of focused study, combining content review, practice problems, and full-section drills. If you're weak in certain areas like algebra or geometry, you may need additional weeks.
Working with a tutor helps you use time efficiently. Rather than studying everything broadly, you focus intensely on what actually moves your score. Your tutor can also adjust the timeline based on your progress—accelerating in areas where you improve quickly and spending more time on persistent challenges.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about concepts or question formats. The antidote is familiarity and confidence built through targeted practice. Knowing you've solved similar problems multiple times reduces panic when you see a tough question.
Expert tutors help build confidence by demystifying question types, teaching you to recognize patterns, and creating a study plan that celebrates progress. They also teach concrete strategies—like taking a breath when a question feels hard, or marking it and moving on—so you stay composed under pressure. Regular practice under timed conditions is powerful anxiety medicine.
Self-study means you identify your own weak areas, create your own strategy, and decide which resources to trust. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction accelerates this by providing expert diagnosis, targeted guidance, and immediate feedback on your thinking—not just your answers.
Tutors help you avoid common detours like spending weeks on topics you've already mastered or missing subtle patterns that appear repeatedly on the test. For students in Detroit preparing for graduate school, connecting with a tutor means having someone invested in your specific score goals who adapts their teaching to how you learn best.
