Elizabeth

SAT Reading Tutor • +17 Subjects

Hi, really nice to meet you! I have 10 years experience teaching GRE. I taught GRE and GMAT as an Adjunct Professor at American University for 3 years, which enhanced my ability to create a standardized GRE itinerary for the classroom. I have taught GRE at Varsity Tutors for 5 years, in person and virtually to individual students, and I was rated in the top 10 percent of tutors by students. Prior to working at Varsity, I taught at Princeton Review for 2 years, teaching the GRE in a classroom setting. I received a score of 730 on my Verbal Section and a score of 770 on my Quantitative Section. I use the ETS GRE text, as the Educational Testing Service (ETS) creates and administers the exam, and I find it the most realistic indicator of how the questions will appear on test day. I hand out guides for the Quantitive section (with formulas and hints for the Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Data Analysis chapters) and the Verbal and Essay sections (with tips for learning vocabulary and guides for Sentence Equivalence, Reading Comprehension, and the Issue Essay). I received my BA in English Literature and U.S. History from Vanderbilt University in 2005, my MA in U.S. History from The George Washington University in 2010, and my MBA in Medical Policy Management from the University of Minnesota in 2024.

Maham

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +71 Subjects

I am currently an undergraduate student at Rice University pursuing a bachelor of science in biochemistry and cell biology on the pre-med track. One of my most memorable experiences in the medical field has been working as a research intern at Texas Children's Hospital and collaborating with genetic specialists to publish a research paper about a rare genetic disease. Medicine is truly one of my greatest passions, and biology has been one of my favorite subjects to tutor through the peer mentorship program at my high school. Through this program, I have also extensively tutored math (from middle school math all the way through IB Mathematics) and find myself drawn by the methodical nature of the subject. Many times, I find that students simply label math as "difficult" because the concepts are brand new and numbers seem like a foreign language. Relating math concepts to simpler everyday ones is one of the many strategies I use when tutoring math, and I have found a lot of success through it. Throughout high school, I have been very active in my school community as the Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper, president of the Speech and Debate Team, and president and founder of the Random Acts of Kindness Club. Through these roles, I have mentored younger students in areas such as writing, research, and public speaking. Additionally, I am fluent in 4 languages (English, Urdu, Arabic, and Spanish), although my favorite one to teach is Spanish. Attending an international school has emphasized to me the importance of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance, and I believe that learning a new language is one of the best ways to reinforce these ideals. In my spare time, you can find me engrossed in arts and crafts, running my Etsy store, or volunteering my local art museum's kids' crafts classes. I also love listening to music, creating music on my violin, and singing various genres.

Jiatian

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a 2020 graduate of Rice University and currently in my final year of Medical School. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've found that one of the most rewarding parts of education is helping others reach their potential. I've worked with students across many stages, from high schoolers preparing for the SAT/ACT, to applicants refining personal statements for college and medical school, to medical students tackling board exams. In each of these settings, my goal remains the same: to help students not just learn material but learn how to learn. My teaching philosophy is built on the belief that success doesn't depend on being naturally gifted, it comes from consistency, structure, and a willingness to improve. I work with students to develop individualized study plans, set achievable milestones, and build momentum. I focus on helping students become confident learners who can approach problems with clarity and strategy. Especially in standardized test prep, I emphasize the importance of going into each question with a plan of attack. Whether it's reading comprehension, a science passage, or a medical vignette, I teach students how to prioritize information, filter out distractions, and apply what they know efficiently. Test-taking is a skill, and through consistent practice, students can go from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control. I'm especially passionate about tutoring subjects that require strategic thinking, like exam prep, because it allows me to show students how much of academic success is not about memorizing facts, but about mastering the process. My ultimate goal is to help students become independent, confident thinkers who can take these skills beyond any one test or class.

Molly

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

Currently I am a graduate student in Stanford University's Master's Program for Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. Prior to my enrollment at Stanford, I worked as a Genetic Counseling Assistant for Igenomix, a genetic testing laboratory. I graduated from Cornell University in December of 2021 with a BS in Biological Sciences and a minor in Education. As a student, I was a member of a research lab that works with the genetic basis of epilepsy in fruit flies as well as an undergraduate TA for a genetics laboratory course at Cornell. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring biology and genetics, as that is where most of my expertise lies. I have enjoyed tutoring SAT and ACT math and science sections in the past and have found students have great success on these stressful tests after seeking out help from tutors like me. In my free time I love watching TV shows with my friends, being active, and painting. I am also a Crisis Text Line volunteer and enjoy taking shifts to help people through difficult times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often hit walls with the transition from concrete arithmetic to abstract algebraic thinking—particularly with multi-step equations, systems of equations, and understanding why certain steps work rather than just memorizing procedures. Word problems are another major challenge because they require translating real-world scenarios into mathematical expressions. As students progress, graphing functions, understanding transformations, and working with proofs in geometry become significant hurdles. Many students also struggle with the conceptual leap from seeing math as a set of isolated rules to recognizing patterns and connections across topics.

A tutor can help students see the 'why' behind each step—for example, explaining that distributing in (x+2)(x+3) works because multiplication applies to each term, not just teaching the FOIL method as a magic formula. By working through problems multiple ways and asking guiding questions, tutors help students discover patterns and build intuition. This deeper understanding makes it easier to tackle unfamiliar problems and remember concepts long-term, rather than forgetting procedures weeks after an exam.

Word problems require a strategic approach: identifying what's being asked, extracting relevant information, choosing the right mathematical model, and then solving. A tutor can teach students to break this process into manageable steps—drawing diagrams, defining variables clearly, and checking whether their answer makes sense in context. By practicing this structured approach across different problem types (rate problems, geometry applications, exponential growth), students build confidence and develop problem-solving strategies they can apply to new situations.

Showing work isn't just for the teacher—it helps students catch their own mistakes, understand where errors occurred, and communicate their thinking clearly. A tutor can help students develop the habit of writing out each step logically, which also reveals gaps in understanding that might not be obvious from the final answer alone. This skill becomes essential for standardized tests, where partial credit depends on demonstrated reasoning, and for more advanced math where complex problems require clear organization.

Math anxiety often stems from past struggles, rushed learning, or feeling lost without understanding why concepts matter. A tutor creates a low-pressure environment where students can ask questions without judgment, work at their own pace, and experience small wins that build confidence. By breaking complex topics into manageable pieces and celebrating progress, tutors help students shift from 'I can't do math' to 'I can figure this out with practice.' This positive experience often translates to better classroom performance and willingness to tackle challenging problems.

Graphing requires understanding how equations translate to visual representations—recognizing that slope and y-intercept define a line, or that the vertex form of a parabola reveals its transformations directly. Many students struggle because they're plotting points mechanically without connecting the equation to the shape. A tutor can help students see how changing coefficients shifts, stretches, or flips a graph, and practice predicting transformations before graphing. This conceptual understanding makes it much easier to work with function families (linear, quadratic, exponential, trigonometric) throughout high school and beyond.

Proofs intimidate many students because they require logical reasoning and knowing which theorems to apply—skills that differ from computational math. A tutor can teach proof strategies like working backwards from what you need to prove, identifying what information you have, and recognizing common proof patterns (triangle congruence, parallel lines, angle relationships). By practicing structured approaches and building a toolkit of useful theorems, students develop the confidence to tackle unfamiliar proofs and understand that geometry is about logical reasoning, not memorization.

High School Math can be taught in different sequences and with varying emphasis—some curricula stress graphical understanding first, others lead with algebraic manipulation. A skilled tutor assesses how your student's class approaches topics and aligns instruction accordingly, whether that means reinforcing the textbook's method or providing alternative explanations that click better for your student. This flexibility ensures tutoring supports classroom learning rather than introducing conflicting methods, and helps students succeed with their specific teacher's expectations.
