Hi there! I am a graduate of Pepperdine University, with a degree in business administration and minor in applied mathematics. Since graduation, I have worked for U.S. Bank as an anti-money laundering investigator and tutored students both remotely and in person. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about mathematics, with considerable experience tutoring anything from pre-algebra to Calculus 1. I have also tutored for the ACT, covering time management and strategy as well as problem solving. I like to get to know my students, learning what drives them so I can better motivate them to succeed.

I have the Master of Arts degree from Pepperdine University. From my under- graduate college days on, I have taught ages from older elementary through older adults in one-on-one, class room, camp, auditorium and church settings. These presentations have also taken place during hosting a 21-day Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Greek Isles Tour and 7-day tour to Brazil. In addition to Brazil I instructed through a translator for 1 month of college in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and on various occasions in Mexico and the Navajo Reservation in the SW U.S.A.In summary, I have served in leadership roles with various non-profit boards where skills were developed in interpersonal communications. I have conducted well over 50 special event activities in 11 states and 4 foreign countries, with over 2500 participants, as well as consulting on many topics for churches and businesses.With my education, ministerial, college instructing, non-profit and life experiences, I am looking forward to those who would be interested in any of a broad range of subjects, including but not limited to those I am most excited about: History, Social Studies, Ethics, World Religions, Religion, and Theology.Believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, I am a proponent of not only education but of continuing education. Some of my continuing education included: Marriage Preparation and Enrichment certification, Managing Conflict seminars and workshops, special faculty training from University of Phoenix and many other professional, specialty training workshops. I trust this enthusiasm and appreciation will be imparted to all of my students.In my spare time, I enjoy family time, reading, an active church participation and some sports, all which enriches my life!

Elsbeth
Biology Tutor • +6 Subjects
I recently graduated from Indiana University (IU) with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Life Sciences with a concentration in Molecular and Cellular Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Gender Studies. While I was at IU, I was a teacher's assistant (TA) for Molecular Biology. While this can be a difficult subject, I loved being able to explain the intricacies of it to students during office hours. I was also a member of Alpha Chi Sigma, a professional chemistry fraternity, for three years; we provided free Chemistry tutoring once a week and helped students with test prep. My favorite job I've ever had was as at an IU summer program for freshmen, where I was a TA for a class about feminist and psychoanalytic film analysis of horror movies. I absolutely loved working with my students and introducing them to the new, weird world of horror movie analysis. Currently, I tutor for Biology, History, English, and Social Studies. I'm very excited about this opportunity to be a tutor because I know what it's like to struggle in a class, and I wish I would have reached out to a tutor myself. It's so important for students to have the resources they need to succeed in and even enjoy their education. My hope is that through tutoring, I can show students another way of looking at the subject. In my spare time, I've been devouring audiobooks and podcasts about history, race, gender, and colonialism while I play Pokemon on my Switch.

American Literature Tutor • +11 Subjects
Greetings! I am an instructor of writing at Northeastern University. American literature and culture is my passion and my specialty area. I am also an experienced researcher and academic writer. In the spring of 2016 I finished my PhD in English at Northeastern University, and since then I have been teaching college writing courses and tutoring international students, mostly from China, Korea, and Russia. Working with students to help them succeed in the areas of literature, cultural studies, writing, and grammar brings me great joy. There is nothing better, and more fulfilling than helping others find success.
Melissa
Academic Coaching Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a 2016 graduate of the University of Southern Maine. I have my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a Minor in English. I was selected to be the student commencement speaker for my graduating class and have additional experience with public speaking and group facilitation. I graduated at the top of my economics department while in undergrad and served as a teacher's assistant (TA) for two of my economics professors while in school. I was also a part of the women's outdoor track and field team and was co-chair of multiple student groups on campus. I tutored my classmates in English, writing, public speaking, economics, and business primarily but have assisted with other subjects as well, such as statistics.I truly enjoy working with students as it is most rewarding to help students reach their full academic potential, which is not always realized in a classroom setting alone. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring writing because good writing is truly foundational and essential in so many areas of life. I also enjoy teaching students good study habits and organizational techniques that are conducive to greater learning and set students up for higher academic achievement and success. I would describe my teaching style as focused and collaborative, but also casual so as to make my students feel like they can ask questions at any time throughout the learning process. One of my overarching goals with tutoring is to inspire student interest in subjects that have been troublesome to them, because oftentimes it is not the subject itself, but how the subject is taught that can inspire interest.

College English Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am a graduate of Ripon College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Spanish Language and Literature with high honors. I have four years of experience tutoring both Spanish and English. Since graduation I have spent the last two years living in Spain where I taught and tutored private English classes. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I am passionate about the language and about helping students understand and master its intricacies. I am an avid proponent of education because I believe that an enriched education is key to both personal and professional success. I believe that a tutor is a bridge between the student's potential and the subject matter. I believe in helping students become independent learners by fostering critical thinking skills through asking questions, presenting the information in a new light and encouraging them to feel confident and inspired while learning. In my spare time I enjoy enriching my body and mind through reading, hiking, dancing and traveling.
Ruth
English Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am currently working towards a BS in Music Education at Case Western Reserve University. In the past I have worked with middle school orchestra students at an arts summer camp, where I was a volunteer Teacher's Assistant. During this camp I ran sectionals with small groups of students and sat in with the violinists to help individual students in large group rehearsals. I have some tutoring and organization experience by working with my high school's chapter of the California Scholarship Federation, where we offered free tutoring to other high school students. I am most passionate about tutoring algebra and pre-calculus, because I really enjoy the problem-solving aspects of math. I also tutor English and SAT prep. In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and practicing as many different instruments as I can get my hands on!
Kimberla
Elementary School Tutor • +24 Subjects
I knew I wanted to teach by the third grade. I went into teaching right after high school and graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education four years later. I eventually acquired a Masters in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College. I've taught grades K-6 as a full time classroom teacher in Michigan, Arkansas, and Texas. I've taught online to Ohio and two different countries. I worked as a math specialist for two years of my career. I've also worked as a scorer for standardized tests in math and writing. I opened my own daycare and tutoring services (Mrs. Teacher's Tutoring Lab) while raising my own little one. Therefore, I've been involved in all aspects of education and enjoyed every bit of it. I've developed a lot of skills over the years to close learning gaps, enhance the high achiever, and help the average student reach new goals; so that all can have a pleasant and interesting learning experience. I'm looking forward to working with you.

If there is one thing I have learned from my years working in neurobiology labs, it's that brains learn best in engaging, low-stress environments. I take great pride in creating those environments with students, especially during times as chaotic as these.I firmly believe that there are no boring or inaccessible subjects--only ones that haven't yet been presented in the right context!When students are inherently interested in the material at hand, I enjoy stoking those flames. When students find an assignment boring or intimidating, I enjoy finding just the right resources to help relate it to fun and familiar concepts.I've found that it's easy and fun to get a feel for molecular biology fundamentals by looking at models of DNA/RNA/protein--thousands of which are available for free at the Protein Data Bank.I'm always trying to encourage more people to play with this free and easy-to-use resource for biomolecular art/education. I would love to show you how to use it in your studies (or just for fun)!The Protein Data Bank offers a wealth of other educational materials, too. (I don't work for them or anything--I just really, really like structural biology art!) http://pdb101.rcsb.org/

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement varies based on your starting point and effort, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of focused preparation. If you're struggling with foundational concepts, you might improve by 10-15 points or more. Students who are already scoring decently often gain 5-10 points by refining test-taking strategy and tackling specific weak areas.
The key is identifying exactly which topics—whether it's fractions, percentages, algebra, or geometry—are costing you points, then drilling those systematically. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can pinpoint your gaps and create a targeted study plan rather than having you waste time on topics you've already mastered.
The biggest challenge students encounter is time pressure—the TEAS Math section has 34 questions in 54 minutes, which forces you to work quickly without sacrificing accuracy. Many students also struggle with word problems, where they get tripped up parsing the question rather than the actual math, and with percentage/ratio problems that require mental flexibility.
Algebra and geometry concepts often feel rusty after years away from math class, and the TEAS tests these heavily. Finally, test anxiety amplifies these issues—when you're nervous, you're more likely to misread a question or second-guess yourself. A tutor can help you build speed through strategic practice, strengthen conceptual understanding, and develop confidence through repeated success.
Test strategy is surprisingly critical—it can easily add 3-5 points to your score without learning anything new. Smart strategies include: knowing which questions to tackle first (easier ones build confidence), recognizing when to estimate rather than calculate exactly, and identifying common wrong-answer traps the test makers use.
Beyond strategy, pacing matters enormously. Many students rush through early questions and run out of time later, or spend 3 minutes on a single problem when they should cut losses and move on. Expert tutors teach you not just TEAS Math content, but also how to manage the test structure itself—which questions to prioritize, when to use your calculator efficiently, and how to avoid careless errors under pressure.
The best way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then review every single wrong answer. Don't just look at the final answer—understand why you got it wrong. Did you misunderstand the question? Make a calculation error? Not know the concept? This distinction matters because it tells you whether you need strategy help or content review.
After analyzing your practice test, group your mistakes by topic: number and operations, algebra, measurement and data, etc. You'll likely find that 2-3 topics account for most of your wrong answers. This is where focused tutoring pays off—a tutor can assess your conceptual gaps quickly and spend 80% of your time on high-impact areas rather than having you waste time reviewing content you've already mastered.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of preparation, meeting with a tutor 1-2 times per week for 60-90 minute sessions. If you have significant gaps (struggling with basic fractions, for example), you might need longer. If you're already scoring decently and just need to tighten up weak spots, 4 weeks of focused work often suffices.
Between tutoring sessions, you should spend 2-3 hours per week on independent practice—working through problem sets, taking timed quizzes, and reviewing mistakes. The tutor session is where you clarify confusion and learn strategy; the practice is where you build speed and confidence. A good rhythm is: tutor session → guided practice → independent practice → next session.
Test anxiety shrinks significantly when you know the material deeply and have practiced under realistic conditions. A tutor helps by building your confidence through targeted practice on your specific weak areas—each time you solve a problem correctly, your nervous system registers success. Repeated small wins compound into genuine confidence.
Expert tutors also teach anxiety-management tactics: how to breathe and refocus when you feel panic, which problems to skip to avoid spiraling, and how to reframe mistakes during practice as learning opportunities rather than failures. Many students find that doing timed practice tests with a tutor—and getting immediate feedback—desensitizes them to the actual test environment. By test day, you've essentially already taken this exam five times, so it feels familiar rather than terrifying.
Look for someone who has direct experience with the TEAS specifically—they should understand which topics the test emphasizes, common trick questions, and what the test makers are actually testing beneath the surface. Beyond content knowledge, great TEAS Math tutors are diagnostic: they ask questions to uncover whether you have conceptual gaps or just need strategy coaching.
They should also be flexible teachers who can explain the same concept multiple ways until it clicks for you. Finally, look for someone who emphasizes understanding over memorization—someone who teaches you why a method works, not just how to do it. This matters because the TEAS tests concepts, not just formulas. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in TEAS prep and can customize their approach to your learning style.
