ACT Prep Tutor • +44 Subjects

I have four years of full-time classroom teaching experience, but many more as a tutor. I started tutoring when I was in the sixth grade, and I now work with students from grades six through college. I also teach SAT and ACT preparation courses. While my favorite subject to teach is Social Studies, my Math and English students have gone on to great success as well. I know that every student has a unique learning style and success is often a matter of finding the right motivation. When I'm not teaching, my favorite thing to do is read to my own children.

Cameron

ACT Prep Tutor • +32 Subjects

I graduated from Colorado College (top 25 LAC) in May of 2020 with a degree in Political Economy and a minor in Math, after attending on a full scholarship. I will be starting an MS in Data Science at Georgetown in the Fall. I've recently served as a high school fellowship coordinator on major political campaigns and before that served as a volunteer coordinator. I am very passionate about teaching math as it is something I struggled with before achieving a high level of mastery. But I am also quite capable at instructing in English, Government, Economics, and general writing. I would say I am the type of tutor who works through challenges with students instead of for them.

Richard

Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and am currently an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, where I am studying Economics. Since High School, I have been tutoring through school organizations like Peer Tutoring, where I became the head in my senior year, and also tutoring around public schools in Stamford, Connecticut, near where I live. I have also created a summer camp at Domus Stamford, where I taught Chemistry and Martial arts for two weeks to middle school and elementary school students. I have also coached my school's Chemistry Olympiad team, so I am comfortable with competition Chemistry as well. I have over three hundred hours of tutoring and teaching experience in subjects like Math, Chemistry, and English. Tutoring STEM subjects is always fun for my students and me, because it is always interesting to see the connections and logic behind concepts. I am a firm believer that education is not only a valuable, important resource for everyone, but that it should also be given in a way suitable for everyone. As such, I learn from the habits of my students and personalize my teachign style in a way that would best help them learn more. In my spare time, I like reading, walking my dog, and cooking.

I have been teaching Spanish and ESL for over 11 years with all age groups. For the past 4 years I have taught at the college level (beginning to advanced classes). I am passionate about helping others learn about other cultures and languages because I think everyone should be equipped to be a part of a global market. I believe everyone can and should learn another language. I tutor Spanish (all levels) as well as ESL. As I tutor I am flexible and accommodating. I received my Bachelors in Education and Spanish from Concordia University. I then completed a Masters in Spanish Literature and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Outside of teaching and being a student I enjoy traveling, coffee, Latin dancing, reading, and running.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medical school admissions committees look beyond GPA and MCAT scores—they evaluate your entire profile. Common application weaknesses include a lack of clinical experience, limited shadowing hours, weak personal statements that don't convey genuine motivation, poor interview preparation, and gaps in demonstrating service and leadership. Many applicants also struggle to articulate how their experiences connect to their commitment to medicine. Personalized tutoring for medical school applications helps you identify these gaps early and develop a compelling narrative that sets you apart.

Your personal statement is your chance to tell admissions committees who you are beyond your grades. A tutor specializing in medical school applications can help you identify authentic stories from your experiences, organize your narrative around a central theme, and revise for clarity and impact. They provide personalized feedback on structure, voice, and how well you convey your passion for medicine while addressing any red flags in your application. Many applicants benefit from multiple revision cycles with expert guidance to ensure every sentence serves your overall story.

A lower GPA or MCAT score doesn't automatically disqualify you, but you'll need to be strategic about your application. Personalized tutoring can help you understand how to address these challenges through your personal statement, letters of recommendation, and demonstrated growth. You might emphasize upward grade trends, strong performance in science courses, clinical experience, or personal circumstances that affected your performance. Tutors experienced with medical school applications know how competitive programs evaluate applications holistically and can help you present the strongest possible case given your academic background.

Most medical schools expect 100+ hours of clinical shadowing or direct patient care experience, though competitive applicants often have 200+ hours. The quality and diversity of experience matter more than the sheer number of hours—meaningful experiences in different specialties and settings demonstrate genuine interest in medicine. A tutor specializing in medical school applications can help you evaluate what experiences you have, identify gaps, and develop a plan to strengthen your clinical credentials. They can also help you articulate what you learned from these experiences in your personal statement and interviews.

An excellent medical school application tutor has direct experience with the admissions process—ideally as a physician, medical student, or former admissions consultant—and understands what different programs are looking for. They should provide personalized feedback on all application components, help you develop an authentic narrative, and coach you through interviews. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have proven expertise in helping applicants strengthen their profiles and navigate one of the most competitive processes in higher education. Look for tutors who understand your specific situation and can provide strategic guidance tailored to your goals and target programs.

Medical school interviews assess your communication skills, ability to think ethically about healthcare dilemmas, and fit with the program's values. Preparation involves practicing common questions, developing concise answers to behavioral questions, and preparing thoughtful questions to ask interviewers. A tutor can conduct mock interviews that simulate the actual experience, provide feedback on your responses, and help you handle difficult questions with composure. Personalized interview coaching is especially valuable because it identifies your unique strengths and areas for polish, ensuring you present your authentic self while addressing any nervousness or communication patterns that might undermine your candidacy.

Ideally, you should begin planning your application during your junior year of college, when you can identify gaps in clinical experience and strengthen your overall profile. However, it's never too late to get support—whether you're early in the process or preparing to submit applications, personalized tutoring can improve your competitive position. Many applicants work with tutors starting 6-12 months before their target application cycle to develop a strategic plan, strengthen their personal statement, and prepare for interviews. Getting expert guidance early helps you make intentional choices about activities and experiences that will resonate with admissions committees.
