Anna
ACT Writing Tutor • +27 Subjects
I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.
Catherine
Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects
Hello! My name is Catherine Raj and I am a second-year medical student at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience in 2022. Since 2015, I have tutored children from ages 3-16 in areas of math and reading, as well as their school curriculum. Apart from tutoring here, I have worked for the Kumon Learning Center as a teaching instructor for 5 years. While I am certified to tutor a broad range of subjects, I have years of experience with tutoring young children in math and reading, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, phonics, reading comprehension, and much more. I connect with elementary and middle school students very well, as I believe in understanding children in order to give them a fulfilling tutoring experience. I also very much enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra as those are my favorite math subjects, as well as my best! My students and I have always had a deeper level of understanding beyond the books and I pride my style of teaching on that aspect.

Chester
Creative Writing Tutor • +18 Subjects
I love English, and good writing. Since I like working one-or-one or with a small group, tutoring is a great way for me to help young people communicate more effectively in writing. As a social scientist, I also like to talking about statistics and social science. I like to teach by example and ask lots of questions so students can discover answers themselves. When not working, I like to watch movies, exercise, and write science fiction.
Maria
ACT Prep Tutor • +15 Subjects
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Denison University. I am currently pursuing an M.D. at Case Western Reserve University. I've been a college-level teaching assistant for both introductory biology and general chemistry. Besides chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring for test prep (ACT and MCAT) because I view these types of tests to be a collection of puzzles to solve. It's a lot of fun helping students to figure out the logic behind these puzzles and apply it broadly, and it's incredibly rewarding to see this integration of knowledge translate to a high score. When working with students, I like to challenge them to identify the purpose of the problem or question and what underlying reasoning can be applied broadly in future questions. In doing so, students gain more long-term usable skills and the ability to think independently.

Theo
ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a current undergraduate student at Columbia University in New York City, pursuing a Bachelors of Arts in History and Economics. These are two of the subjects that I enjoy tutoring the most, but I also have a penchant for tutoring and learning about math and literature. I am passionate about tutoring because I benefited from the personalized guidance of great tutors in my past and I really enjoy seeing students push themselves and develop an appreciation for subject areas or even the mental exercise of test-taking thanks to tutoring. I also believe that tutoring a subject area is the greatest way to maintain and develop understanding of its material for both the student and the tutor. I was an active tutor in high school in mathematics and history and as I take more classes in college, I look forward to tutoring students in those in which I understood the material really well. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about history, camping, biking, and traveling when I can (or exploring the incredible city of New York)!

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Students typically see meaningful gains—often 10-15% improvement—within 4-6 weeks of regular sessions, especially when they identify specific weak areas and practice consistently between appointments. The key is focusing on the sections where you struggle most, whether that's content mastery or test-taking strategies.
Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with question formats or uncertainty about timing. Tutors help build confidence by teaching you the test structure inside and out, walking through practice questions at realistic pace, and developing strategies for managing time pressure. When you've practiced problems repeatedly and know exactly what to expect, anxiety naturally decreases. Tutors can also teach breathing and mental strategies specifically for high-pressure testing situations.
Effective pacing requires knowing the test format, practicing with timed sections, and developing a strategy that matches your strengths. Tutors help you determine how much time to spend per question, when to skip difficult problems and return later, and how to avoid getting stuck on any single item. They'll use practice tests to identify if you're rushing or spending too much time on easier content, then adjust your approach accordingly.
Tutors start by analyzing your practice test results to pinpoint which content areas and question types you struggle with most. Rather than guessing, they'll review your answers to understand whether you're missing questions due to content gaps, misreading questions, or timing issues. This diagnosis is crucial because the solution differs for each—content review, strategy practice, or pacing adjustment. Once weak areas are identified, tutoring focuses intensively on those specific topics.
A typical effective schedule is one full-length practice test every 1-2 weeks, with targeted practice on specific sections in between. Early in preparation, focus on untimed or section-level practice to build foundational knowledge. As you progress, move toward full-length timed tests to simulate real exam conditions. Your tutor will review each practice test thoroughly, identifying patterns in your mistakes and adjusting your study plan based on results.
Many students lose points not because they don't know the material, but because they misinterpret what a question is asking. OIT exam questions have specific formats and wording patterns—understanding these helps you avoid common traps. Tutors teach you to recognize question types, decode what test makers are really asking for, and eliminate answer choices strategically. This skill alone can improve accuracy without requiring additional content knowledge.
The best tutors combine deep knowledge of the OIT exam content with strong teaching ability—they can explain complex concepts clearly and adapt their approach to how you learn. They should be data-driven, using practice test results to guide instruction rather than generic review. Look for tutors experienced in test-taking strategy, not just content, and who are patient about explaining why certain approaches work. Finally, they should help you understand not just answers, but your thinking process and how to avoid repeating mistakes.
