Anya
Middle School Math Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a graduate of the MA Fashion Studies program at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, having previously studied linguistics and foreign languages (concentrating in Russian and French) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and at McGill University in Montreal. I currently serve as adjunct faculty in the Art and Design History and Theory department at Parsons, where I specialize in courses which combine numerous disciplines within the humanities, such as a course about the relationship between fashion and language and a graduate seminar about writing for fashion publications. I have also led elementary summer art camp workshops in my hometown of Los Alamos, New Mexico. My teaching methods, which are interactive, engaging, and tailored to a range of learning styles, have consistently been described by my students as motivational and encouraging. I tutor a wide range of subjects, from Middle School Math to PSAT and SAT test preparation, but I am most passionate about Critical Reading and Writing and Essay Editing. These are areas in which my students make remarkable progress in short periods of time and also find great pleasure in relating the themes of their writing to their own outside interests and passions. I also enjoy helping students prepare to take standardized tests by addressing, in an understanding and accommodating way, the common anxieties and stresses that can accompany test-taking. Outside of school and tutoring, I enjoy traveling, reading, visiting museums, cooking, and snowboarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
The GRE (scored 130-170 per section) is accepted by most graduate programs and emphasizes vocabulary and advanced math concepts, while the GMAT (scored 200-800) is primarily for business school and focuses more on data interpretation and real-world problem-solving. Your target program's requirements will determine which test you need—most MBA programs require the GMAT, while master's programs in STEM, humanities, and social sciences typically accept the GRE. Tutors can help you understand which test aligns with your strengths and program goals.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges on timed graduate tests because you need to balance speed with accuracy—rushing through questions costs you points, but spending too long on difficult ones leaves you without time for easier questions you could answer. A tutor can help you develop section-specific strategies, like learning which question types to tackle first, how to identify when to skip and return to a problem, and how to practice under realistic time constraints. Working through timed practice tests with feedback helps you internalize the rhythm of the exam so you're not making split-second decisions on test day.
Graduate-level reading passages are dense, abstract, and often cover unfamiliar topics (philosophy, science, social theory), making it hard to extract key ideas quickly—and the questions test deep comprehension, not just surface-level details. Tutors teach you to identify passage structure, distinguish main ideas from supporting details, and recognize question patterns so you can answer efficiently without rereading. They also help you build a toolkit for tackling unfamiliar subjects by focusing on the test's logic rather than your background knowledge.
Many graduate test-takers have uneven strengths, and a tutor can diagnose whether your quantitative struggles stem from gaps in foundational math, unfamiliarity with test-specific question formats, or test anxiety. They'll focus on the specific concepts that appear most on your target test (data interpretation, algebra, geometry for GRE; word problems, statistics for GMAT) rather than reviewing all of math. Targeted practice on your weak areas, combined with strategies to manage time on harder questions, can significantly close this gap without requiring you to become a math expert.
Test anxiety often peaks on graduate exams because the stakes feel high and the content is challenging—but tutors help by demystifying the test format, building competence through targeted practice, and normalizing mistakes as part of learning. Repeated exposure to practice tests under realistic conditions reduces anxiety because you know what to expect, and tutors can teach you breathing techniques and mental strategies to stay calm when you encounter a difficult question. Confidence grows when you see measurable score improvements and understand exactly why you're getting questions right, not just guessing.
Practice tests serve two purposes: diagnostic (identifying weak areas early) and confidence-building (simulating test day conditions), so your approach should evolve as you prepare. Early on, take practice tests untimed or with extended time to focus on accuracy and understand question types; as you progress, take full-length tests under strict timing to build stamina and pacing. Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full practice tests spaced throughout their prep, with tutors reviewing your results to pinpoint patterns in your mistakes—whether you're misunderstanding concepts, misreading questions, or running out of time.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and target score, but most students see meaningful gains (50-100 points on the GRE, 50-150 on the GMAT) with 8-12 weeks of focused prep, especially with tutoring. If you're starting from a lower baseline or aiming for a highly competitive score (90th percentile+), you may need 3-6 months because the last 50 points are harder to gain than the first 100. A tutor can give you a realistic timeline after assessing your diagnostic test, identifying your weak areas, and understanding how much time you can dedicate to prep each week.
The Analytical Writing Assessment (GRE) and Integrated Reasoning (GMAT) sections require you to think and write quickly under pressure, which is fundamentally different from the multiple-choice sections—tutors help by teaching you essay structure templates, how to identify flaws in arguments efficiently, and how to organize your thoughts in 30 minutes. Practice with real prompts and getting detailed feedback on your essays (clarity, argument strength, grammar) is essential because you can't improve without seeing where your reasoning breaks down. Many students neglect these sections, but tutors can help you develop reliable strategies that boost your score without requiring you to be a perfect writer.
