Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.
Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS Core Math exam covers three main content areas: Number and Quantity (including fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratios), Algebra and Functions (linear equations, polynomials, and graphing), and Geometry and Measurement (shapes, area, volume, and spatial reasoning). Test-takers also encounter data interpretation and basic probability questions. Personalized tutoring helps you identify which of these areas need the most attention and develop targeted strategies for each content domain.
Strong problem-solving on the PRAXIS Core Math exam requires more than procedural fluency—it demands understanding the underlying concepts and recognizing patterns across different problem types. Expert tutors help you move beyond memorized steps by teaching you to break down complex problems into manageable parts, identify what the question is really asking, and connect new problems to familiar concepts. Learning to sketch diagrams, work through examples systematically, and check your reasoning at each step builds both accuracy and confidence on test day.
Word problems require you to translate everyday language into mathematical notation—a skill that's separate from computational ability. Many test-takers struggle not with the math itself, but with identifying which information is relevant and determining which operation to use. Personalized instruction helps you develop a systematic approach: reading carefully for key details, defining variables clearly, and connecting the problem context to the underlying mathematical structure. With practice and guidance, you'll see how word problems actually reinforce your conceptual understanding rather than just testing computational skills.
Preparation time varies based on your starting point and comfort with math concepts, but most test-takers benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused study. If you're working to strengthen foundational skills or rebuild confidence after time away from math, you may want to allow additional time. Personalized tutoring accelerates progress by targeting your specific weak areas rather than having you review material you've already mastered. Your tutor can help you create a realistic timeline and track your improvement through practice tests that mirror the actual exam format.
You might understand a concept in isolation but freeze when you encounter it in an unfamiliar context or multi-step problem—this is one of the biggest hurdles on the PRAXIS Core Math exam. Expert tutors bridge this gap by teaching you to recognize patterns, see how concepts connect, and practice applying skills in varied scenarios. They help you move from "I can solve this type of problem" to "I can recognize when to use this tool." Through repeated, guided practice with different problem variations, you develop the flexibility and automaticity you need to perform confidently under test conditions.
Math anxiety often stems from past negative experiences, pressure to work quickly, or fear of making mistakes. Expert tutors create a judgment-free environment where you can ask questions, take your time understanding concepts, and learn that mistakes are valuable learning opportunities. By celebrating progress, breaking challenging material into manageable steps, and building genuine confidence through success, personalized tutoring helps shift your relationship with math from stressful to empowering. Many test-takers find that one-on-one instruction reduces anxiety significantly because you're working at your own pace with someone invested in your growth.
The best PRAXIS Core Math tutors combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to explain concepts in multiple ways—because what works for one learner might not work for another. They ask diagnostic questions to understand your thinking, listen carefully to where you get stuck, and guide you toward conceptual clarity rather than just showing you steps to memorize. Look for someone who can make abstract concepts tangible through examples and diagrams, help you develop problem-solving strategies beyond rote procedures, and create a learning environment where you feel comfortable asking questions. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in PRAXIS Core Math preparation and have a track record of helping students build both skills and confidence.
