Erintrude earned her bachelor's degree in French from Kenyon College, giving her the deep literary and linguistic grounding that AP French demands — from analyzing texts by Francophone authors to constructing persuasive essays entirely in French. She knows how to break down the presentational and interpersonal communication tasks that drive AP scoring, and her translation studies background sharpens students' ability to think in French rather than mentally converting from English.

I am so excited to help you work through your learning journey! I promise you're smarter than you think. Let's figure this out together!
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 am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
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.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AP French exam tests proficiency across five key areas: reading, writing, listening, speaking, and cultural knowledge. The exam includes multiple-choice sections for reading and listening comprehension, free-response writing tasks, and a speaking component where you'll engage in conversations and present on cultural topics. Understanding the format and timing of each section is crucial for effective preparation.
Score improvement depends on your starting level and study consistency, but personalized 1-on-1 instruction typically helps students identify and address specific weak areas—whether that's verb conjugation, listening comprehension, or speaking fluency. Many students see meaningful gains by focusing on targeted practice in their challenge areas and building confidence with test-taking strategies. Working with an expert tutor allows you to practice at your own pace rather than keeping up with a classroom.
Students often struggle most with the speaking section, where real-time conversation and cultural nuance are tested, and with listening comprehension at native speaker speed. The free-response writing section also trips up many students who aren't comfortable with complex grammar structures and formal register. Additionally, managing time across five different skill areas while maintaining accuracy is a common challenge that benefits from strategic practice and feedback.
Most students benefit from starting tutoring 3-4 months before the exam, though this depends on your current proficiency level. If you're already comfortable with conversational French, you might focus on exam-specific strategies and cultural content for 8-12 weeks. For students building from intermediate proficiency, a longer timeline allows for deeper grammar review and consistent speaking practice to build fluency and confidence.
Your first session focuses on assessing your current French proficiency across all five skill areas—reading, writing, listening, speaking, and cultural knowledge. The tutor will identify your strengths and pinpoint specific areas for improvement, then work with you to create a personalized study plan aligned with your AP exam timeline. This diagnostic approach ensures your tutoring targets exactly what you need rather than reviewing material you've already mastered.
Speaking is worth 25% of your AP French score, making it just as critical as reading or writing—and it's often the most intimidating section for students. Personalized tutoring gives you a safe space to practice conversation, get real-time feedback on pronunciation and grammar, and build the confidence needed for the exam's interpersonal and presentational speaking tasks. Regular speaking practice with a tutor helps you think in French rather than translating, which is essential for performing well under exam conditions.
Yes—full-length practice tests are essential for understanding your pacing, identifying which sections need the most work, and building stamina for the actual exam. However, targeted practice on individual sections is equally important early in your preparation to build skills before putting it all together. A tutor can help you interpret your practice test results, identify patterns in your mistakes, and adjust your study strategy accordingly.
Look for tutors with strong French proficiency (ideally native or near-native fluency), proven experience preparing students for the AP exam, and familiarity with the current exam format and scoring rubrics. It's also valuable to find someone who understands French culture and can help you engage with authentic materials—films, news, literature—that appear on the exam. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have demonstrated expertise in AP French and a track record of helping students succeed.
