I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor.

Dalton
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +45 Subjects
I am no stranger to people getting tutors in order to succeed. An ambition to accomplish any academic goal was encouraged all my life; thus, I am accustomed to studying hard on top of participating in countless extra-curricular activities. I graduated highs school and received a diploma from the extremely rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) program, and began attending an Ivy League college, the University of Pennsylvania, in 2016. With all this said, I am confident that I will be able to teach clients effective ways to solve any problems they have.
Shawn
7th Grade math Tutor • +70 Subjects
I am a patient teacher who can explain problems in many different ways according to how individual students learn best. I only ask that you know and explain to me what topics you do not know or get so far. I know that every student can learn a subject with a combination of practice and patience, but I insist upon consistent effort and sessions. As an educator I do not support last minute cramming as the primary learning method of content for students as it does not lead to retention of material, mastery of larger themes, or the ability to differentiate between subtle differences when problem-solving on tests and exams. I will help my clients when they need extra sessions before Final Exams and AP Exams, but those who have been working the hardest throughout the school year to regularly improve will get preference over those students who are panicked at the last minute, but have put off meeting with me. Hobbies: books, writing, reading, music, films, art

I am an experienced tutor and classroom teacher with a passion for helping students learn - especially when it doesn't come easy. I love teaching math, especially since I know that it can be hard. While I specialize in working with middle and high school students, I have worked with students as young as kindergarten and those well into adulthood. Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art
Wendel
Calculus Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am a multi-subject polymath with great and depth in what I teach who always places the needs, desires and dreams of students first. A Lifelong Scholar focused on Excellence, my praxis seeks to empower those I I teach by infecting them with passion for critical thinking and awakening and nurturing their "I know I can! Let's do it!" energies. Comfortable with technology, I strive to continually improve teaching and learning processes so my tutees become adept at turning information into knowledge. Champion, then, of scholars' growth both individually and communally/collaboratively, I guide them to learn where, when, how and why to take control individually and when to trust the team. At the core of my methodology is the ability to listen: My students, then, can become adepts at PEARLS (Partnership, Empathy, Apology/Acknowledgment, Respect, Legitimation, and Support), not only "listening to" but "hearing" interlocutors in this increasingly multi-vocal/valent world. Consequently equitable, suitable, ethical and sustainable solutions with clear benefits for all stakeholders in the learning transaction can emerge. And because "we" this includes me the Champion and Guide willingly created this result, "we/they" willingly accept and acknowledge the outcome, willingly "owning it." It is "our buck."
Theodora
Middle School Math Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

Hasan
8th Grade math Tutor • +97 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.
Maha
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects
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 am a graduate of Sewanee: University of the South. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English. I also have two master's degrees in education - a Master's of Education from Vanderbilt University in Special Education and a Master's of Arts in Educational Leadership from Lipscomb University.

I also enjoy helping students find the subjects about which they are passionate and helping them go deeper in those subject areas. I am passionate about all students having access to education and ensuring they have an access point regardless of their primary language, disability, or background.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Mathematical Reasoning and Reasoning Through Language Arts sections tend to be the biggest hurdles for most GED test-takers. Math challenges often center on algebra, functions, and multi-step problem-solving, while the RLA section requires strong reading comprehension and grammar skills under timed conditions. Science and Social Studies present their own difficulties—students frequently struggle with interpreting graphs and data in Science, and analyzing historical documents in Social Studies. A tutor can identify which sections are your weak points early on and focus preparation where it matters most.
Time management on the GED is a skill that needs practice—you have roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes per question depending on the section, which feels rushed if you're not strategic. Many students waste time overthinking easy questions or getting stuck on difficult ones instead of moving forward. A tutor can teach you how to quickly identify question types, recognize when to skip and come back, and allocate your time based on question difficulty. Regular practice tests under timed conditions are essential—they help you internalize pacing so it becomes automatic on test day.
The GED uses multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank, drag-and-drop, and hot-spot questions (where you click on part of an image or text). Each format requires a slightly different approach—for example, multiple-choice questions reward process-of-elimination strategies, while hot-spot questions require careful reading and spatial reasoning. Many students haven't encountered these formats before and lose points simply because they don't understand what's being asked. Tutoring includes familiarization with each format type, so you're not wasting mental energy figuring out how to answer when you should be focusing on the content itself.
Score improvement depends heavily on your starting point and how much you engage with preparation. Students who begin tutoring 8-12 weeks before their test date and practice consistently typically see improvements of 20-50 points per section, though some see more. If you're starting from a lower baseline, improvements can be more dramatic because there's more foundational material to strengthen. The key isn't just tutoring hours—it's consistent practice between sessions, taking full-length practice tests regularly, and targeting your specific weak areas. A tutor helps you work smarter, not just harder, by focusing effort where it will have the biggest impact on your score.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the test format, feeling unprepared, or past negative test experiences. Tutoring builds confidence through repeated exposure to authentic GED questions and full-length practice tests in a low-pressure environment, so test day feels familiar rather than frightening. A tutor can also teach you specific test-day strategies—how to manage stress in the moment, when to take breaks, and how to recover mentally if you encounter a difficult section. Many students find that simply knowing they've practiced extensively and understand the material significantly reduces anxiety when they sit down to take the real test.
RLA reading comprehension requires both speed and accuracy—you need to extract key information quickly from dense passages about literature, history, and social studies. Common mistakes include reading too slowly and running out of time, misinterpreting what the question is actually asking, or overthinking answers. A tutor teaches you active reading strategies like annotation, identifying main ideas versus supporting details, and recognizing question types (inference, vocabulary in context, main idea, etc.) so you know what to look for. Practice with real GED passages under timed conditions helps you develop the rhythm needed to read efficiently without sacrificing understanding.
Many GED test-takers haven't done math in years, so starting from a place of weak foundations is common and absolutely addressable. The GED Math section heavily emphasizes algebra, functions, and word problems—skills that require solid understanding of basic operations and equation-solving. A tutor can diagnose exactly where your gaps are (fractions, order of operations, basic algebra) and rebuild those foundations before moving to test-specific strategies. Rather than trying to memorize formulas, tutoring focuses on understanding the concepts so you can apply them flexibly to unfamiliar problems, which is what the GED actually tests.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of preparation, dedicating 5-10 hours per week—though this varies based on your starting level and target score. Effective study isn't just about hours; it's about structure: diagnostic testing to identify weak areas, focused practice on those areas, full-length practice tests to build stamina and timing skills, and review of mistakes. A tutor helps you create a realistic study plan that fits your schedule and keeps you accountable. The most successful approach combines tutoring sessions (for targeted instruction and strategy) with independent practice between sessions (for reinforcement and building test-taking endurance).
