Elizabeth
Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects
I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Case Western Reserve University and a minor in Studio Art. I love math and art, and I find them similar in many ways. I am a patient person, having experience with children in hospital waiting rooms and helping my younger siblings with school. My favorite subjects to tutor are algebra, pre-calculus, and geometry, but I also tutor other subjects within math, art, and computer science. I believe that learning should be fun, and that since all knowledge is cumulative, hopefully the things I teach will become lifelong lessons.Besides tutoring, I enjoy swimming, rock climbing, and anything else that gets me outside or with wild animals. A fun fact from me is that both of my parents are teachers, and my sister is a tutor as well! I'm looking forward to working with you.

Niki
ACT Math Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in French. During my time at CU, I studied abroad in Paris, as well as being a Teaching Assistant for Chemistry, Biology, and Fluid Mechanics for engineers and often helped my peers with homework. During the summer and fall I teach percussion for a local high school marching band. While I tutor a variety of math and science topics, my favorite subjects are chemistry and physics, as I love exploring the ways in which the world works. Education is of the highest importance to me, and I wish to share this passion with my students. In my spare time, I like to read suspense novels, play a variety of string instruments, and play Legend of Zelda.

Heather
Conversational Spanish Tutor • +6 Subjects
I am a Master's of Science candidate at New York University in Global Affairs. I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's in International Studies and Spanish with a minor in Latin American Studies. I have experience with tutoring as I was a Spanish tutor during college. I was hired by the University to tutor current students. Additionally, I was a tutor for a home-schooled middle school student. The subjects of focus were Spanish, English, and occasionally Science and Social Studies. My subject focuses at Varsity Tutors are Spanish and English, particularly reading, writing, and speaking. I am easy to get along with and adaptable to all age ranges as I have tutored varying ages. I look forward to working with more students to further their understanding of English and Spanish!

After a successful career at McIntosh High School in Peachtree City, GA, I matriculated to the University of Georgia. Seeking a degree in Neuroscience, I am working my way to med-school and a bright future. Active in both the Honors program and Center for Undergraduate Research, I have developed a great work ethic which I hope to impart to my students! I've spent the past two summers teaching private swim lessons to children and adults throughout my community. Turning a person's goal into reality is the greatest thrill I've known! Similarly, I spent two semesters as a mentor at the Thomas Lay After-School Program in Athens, GA. There, I both tutored and befriended the children of the program. My favorite memory occurred during mandatory reading hours. A stubborn, apathetic boy refused to read any books. Rather than becoming frustrated, I asked him "If you could be any animal, what would you be?" I knew the library had a large section of zoology books, and hoped to pique his interest. Immediately, he responded "A fish!" The following weeks were filled with shark, octopus, and whale books. To this day, his transformation from disinterested to engaged and motivated fuels my desire to mentor today's youth.
Miguel
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am going to start undergrad at MIT in the fall of 2022 with the aim of majoring in linguistics. I have tutored elementary and middle school students in violin for four years, in addition to casual tutoring in history, writing, and languages. More important than helping my students reach the right answers is helping them ask the questions that will lead them to answers. I learn best when I find an aspect of the subject I'm studying that I'm passionate about, so I try to help my students find curiosity for the given subject. I enjoy tutoring violin, writing, and math the most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all—many 10th graders successfully take AP Microeconomics, especially if they have strong foundational math skills and analytical thinking abilities. The course focuses on concepts like supply and demand, elasticity, and consumer behavior, which don't require advanced calculus. What matters most is comfort with graphs, percentages, and logical reasoning. A tutor can help you assess whether you're ready and address any gaps in prerequisite skills before diving into the course material.
Score improvement depends on where you're starting and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Students who work with a tutor typically see meaningful gains when they focus on their specific weak areas—whether that's understanding price elasticity, analyzing market structures, or interpreting complex graphs. A realistic goal is to improve by 1-3 points on the AP exam (which is scored 1-5), but this requires regular practice, consistent study between sessions, and applying concepts to practice problems. Your tutor will help you identify which topics need the most attention and create a focused study plan.
The biggest hurdles are usually: (1) interpreting and analyzing graphs—the exam relies heavily on supply/demand curves, cost curves, and market structures; (2) distinguishing between similar concepts like price elasticity vs. income elasticity; (3) applying economic thinking to real-world scenarios that require multiple steps of reasoning; and (4) managing time during the multiple-choice section. A tutor can break down graph interpretation systematically, create comparison charts for easily-confused concepts, and build your confidence with timed practice questions so you're ready for test day.
Practice tests are one of your most valuable study tools. Start by taking a full-length diagnostic test early in your prep to identify which topics drain your score the most—focus heavily there. As you progress, take practice tests under timed conditions to build stamina and learn to pace yourself through the 70-minute multiple-choice section and free-response questions. After each test, review every wrong answer (and every right answer you were unsure about) to understand your reasoning gaps. Your tutor can help you analyze patterns in your mistakes—Are you rushing through graphs? Misreading questions? Missing nuance in economic scenarios?—and adjust your study strategy accordingly.
This varies based on your starting point and the exam date. If you're taking the exam in May as a 10th grader, starting tutoring in the fall gives you plenty of time to build conceptual understanding gradually and reinforce weak areas through practice. A typical schedule might be 1-2 sessions per week for 4-5 months, though some students benefit from intensive weekly sessions in the final 6-8 weeks before the exam. The key is consistent engagement—regular tutoring sessions combined with independent practice and review between meetings produces better results than cramming. Your tutor can recommend a personalized timeline based on your pace and current understanding of the material.
An effective AP Microeconomics tutor should have strong subject knowledge and test-taking experience—ideally someone who has scored well on the AP exam themselves or has successfully coached students through it. They should excel at explaining complex concepts clearly, creating visual study aids (especially for graphs), and identifying exactly where you're getting stuck, not just telling you the right answer. Look for someone patient enough to answer your questions multiple ways, skilled at breaking down multi-step problems into manageable pieces, and focused on building your confidence and independence as a problem-solver. The right tutor adapts to your learning style and helps you develop strategies specific to how you think about economics.
The AP Microeconomics exam is 2 hours and 10 minutes total, split into two sections: 70 minutes for 60 multiple-choice questions (worth 66% of your score) and 60 minutes for 3 free-response questions (worth 34% of your score). The multiple-choice section tests recall and quick application of concepts, so pacing is critical—you need to average about 70 seconds per question. The free-response section requires deeper analysis, often involving graphs you'll need to draw and label correctly. Many students struggle with timing on the multiple-choice section or with clearly communicating their reasoning on the free-response questions. Tutoring sessions that include timed practice and feedback on your written explanations will help you master both sections.
