I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

Hi! I'm a senior at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business looking for a small side hustle. As I know AP season is approaching for high school students, I would love to help as a tutor in preparation for exams, or provide guidance with college applications and essays! I am super passionate about helping students how to learn. Looking forward to working with you all. Go Blue!
I'm Anna! I'm currently a student in the MD/MBA program between Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the Kellogg School of Management, and graduated from Northwestern University as part of the Honors Program in Medical Education. I attended the Bergen County Academies in New Jersey, a selective, application-based magnet school, for high school.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.
I'm currently pursuing a degree in Neuroscience! My passion lies in empowering students to conquer challenging subjects like AP Biology, Chemistry, and standardized test preparation, including the SAT and PSAT. With over 3 years of tutoring experience, I have honed my ability to adapt my teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles, ensuring each student feels supported and confident. I believe in creating interactive sessions that transform learning into an engaging experience, where students not only grasp complex concepts but also develop the skills to tackle challenges independently. As a National Merit Scholar, I offer valuable insights into effective test strategies, helping students navigate the nuances of SAT math and reading. My goal is to inspire students to embrace their academic journey with enthusiasm and resilience.
Hello! I am Jason Min, a recent college graduate looking to do some tutoring over the summer. Please feel free to ask me questions!
I am currently a 4th year medical student at Baylor College of Medicine and previously graduated from Rice University, Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science and Biochemistry & Cell Biology. I have served on admissions interview committees for Rice and Baylor College of Medicine, have mentored and edited essays for numerous college and graduate school applicants, and served as a private tutor and classroom instructor for Advanced Biology and Chemistry courses for 3+ years.
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.
No subject, no test, and no question is bigger than you. By the end of our time together, I hope to make you see that my only job was really just to make you see--you really had it in you, all along. If there's any subject in which you truly believe you suck--that you're just the worst, and that nothing will ever help you improve--then don't you dare give up until you've given me a call! I'm a writer, but I love numbers, and nothing makes me more proud than helping students overcome their biggest challenges. I've scored near-perfect on both standardized tests, and I've been helping students understand how to improve their own scores ever since. I'm also capable of tutoring advanced Music Theory topics, as well as Spanish and Mandarin Chinese
I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.
I'm passionate about breaking down complex concepts and problems to make them easier to understand in standardized testing and mathematics, economics, and computer science.
As a passionate tutor working on a Bachelor's degree in Economics, Mathematics, and Philosophy from the University of Toronto, I have over two years of tutoring experience that spans various subjects, including Writing, English, and advanced math topics. My approach centers on creating engaging, tailored lessons that resonate with students' individual goals and interests. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment where trial and error can lead to discovery and growth. My experience includes working with elementary and high school students, helping them navigate their homework, prepare for tests like the SAT, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for math and writing. I am deeply motivated to inspire students and help them achieve their academic aspirations while nurturing their curiosity and confidence. I enjoy: Writing, Reading, Piano, Fencing, Archery, Math, Economics, Philosophy, Law.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors for all major graduate entrance exams, including the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, and DAT. Whether you're preparing for business school, law school, medical school, or dental school, tutors can help you master the specific content and test-taking strategies needed for your target exam. Each test has unique challenges—from MCAT's extensive science content to LSAT's logical reasoning—and tutors tailor instruction to address your particular goals and weak areas.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, study commitment, and how focused your preparation is. Students typically see meaningful gains—often 50-100+ points on the GRE or GMAT—when working with a tutor who helps them identify weak areas, learn strategic approaches, and practice consistently. The key is targeted instruction: rather than studying everything equally, tutors help you focus on concepts and question types where you'll gain the most points. Your tutor can set realistic expectations based on your baseline practice test score and timeline.
Most students benefit from a structured approach that combines content review, strategic skill-building, and full-length practice tests. A typical timeline involves 8-12 weeks of preparation, with sessions focused on your weakest areas early on, then progressing to timed practice and test-day strategy. Tutors typically recommend spacing out study sessions throughout the week rather than cramming, allowing time for concepts to settle between lessons. Practice tests should be spaced strategically—usually every 2-3 weeks—to track progress and identify emerging weak spots before test day.
Graduate tests have unique formats and strict time limits that require specific strategies. For example, the GMAT's computer-adaptive format penalizes wrong answers, the LSAT's logic games demand efficiency, and the MCAT's sheer length tests endurance. Tutors teach format-specific strategies—like when to guess strategically, how to approach different question types, and pacing techniques for each section. Through repeated practice with feedback, you'll develop the muscle memory to recognize question patterns quickly and manage time effectively, turning test anxiety into confidence.
The best way to identify weak areas is to take a full-length practice test under realistic conditions, then analyze your results by section and question type. A tutor can help you interpret those results—distinguishing between careless mistakes and true knowledge gaps—and prioritize what to tackle first. Some students struggle with reading comprehension across all tests, while others find math sections or specific content (like chemistry for the MCAT) more challenging. Tutors use diagnostic assessments to create a targeted study plan that maximizes your score improvement in the time you have.
Yes—test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unfamiliar with the test format and question styles. Working with a tutor builds confidence through mastery: as you understand concepts better and practice timed sections repeatedly, anxiety naturally decreases. Tutors also teach test-day strategies like breathing techniques, how to manage difficult questions without spiraling, and mental approaches to maintain focus over long exams. The combination of solid preparation and strategic confidence-building makes a real difference in how you perform on test day.
Practice tests are one of the most valuable tools in test prep—they reveal your actual performance under time pressure and help you refine strategies before test day. Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full-length practice tests spread throughout their preparation period, with at least one every 2-3 weeks once serious studying begins. Early on, you might practice individual sections untimed to build content knowledge; as you progress, practice full-length exams under timed conditions. Your tutor can help you score and analyze each practice test to identify patterns in your mistakes and adjust your study focus accordingly.
