Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.

I am not teaching or grading papers, I can usually be found playing some brass instrument or another, umpiring baseball, trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, or spending far too much time on Netflix.
Elena
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges students face on Reading Comprehension, since you need to absorb dense material while managing 35 minutes for four passages and 26-28 questions. Most test-takers benefit from developing a consistent reading strategy—whether that's reading the passage first and then questions, or skimming strategically before diving deeper. A personalized tutor can help you identify which approach works best for your reading style and teach you how to spot key structural elements (main idea, author's tone, argument structure) quickly without getting bogged down in details.
Students typically struggle most with inference questions, comparative reading questions (when comparing two passages), and questions asking about the author's attitude or purpose. These require you to synthesize information and understand nuance rather than locate explicit facts. Comparative passage questions are especially tricky because you need to hold multiple arguments in mind simultaneously. A tutor can break down exactly how to approach each question type, teach you the difference between "supported by the passage" versus "could be true," and give you targeted practice so you recognize these patterns instantly on test day.
Most students see measurable improvements within 4-8 weeks of focused practice, though the amount varies based on your starting point and consistency. If you're scoring in the mid-to-high range, gains of 2-3 points require more precision work on question interpretation. If you're earlier in your prep, improvements of 4-6 points are common as you develop foundational skills. The key is identifying exactly where you're losing points—missed inferences, misreading comparative passages, or poor time management—and addressing those specific weaknesses. Personalized instruction helps you target the right areas so your study time is efficient.
Strategic practice test usage is critical: early on, untimed sections help you build accuracy and understand question patterns without pressure; mid-stage, you practice with timing to develop pacing; and final weeks, you take full timed practice tests under test-day conditions. Many students make the mistake of doing untimed practice too long or rushing to full tests before they've learned the question types. A tutor can help you sequence your practice strategically, review actual test passages to identify recurring patterns, and teach you how to analyze your mistakes—not just notice you got it wrong, but understand the reasoning gap. This metacognitive approach drives real improvement.
LSAT passages fall into a few consistent categories: law-related passages (court decisions, legal theory), humanities passages (literature, art, philosophy), science passages (natural science topics explained for non-specialists), and social science passages (psychology, history, economics). Each type has distinct language patterns and question focuses—science passages often test your ability to understand methodology and evidence, while humanities passages emphasize authorial perspective and interpretation. The section also includes one comparative reading set where you read two shorter, related passages. Understanding these patterns helps you anticipate what questions will likely appear and what details matter most in each passage type.
Test anxiety on Reading Comprehension often stems from feeling rushed or uncertain about your interpretations. Building confidence comes from three things: mastering the actual material and question types so you know what to expect, practicing under timed conditions repeatedly so timing feels familiar rather than threatening, and developing a consistent approach you trust. Many students benefit from learning relaxation techniques paired with substantive prep—knowing your strategy cold removes the anxiety-inducing guesswork. A tutor can create a confidence-building study plan that gradually increases difficulty and pressure, helping you experience success repeatedly before test day.
An effective LSAT Reading Comprehension tutor understands not just the content, but the test design—how LSAC constructs wrong answers, what reasoning traps they set, and the patterns in question construction. They should be able to teach you the underlying logic of each question type rather than just give you answers. Beyond expertise, they need strong diagnostic skills to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points (passage comprehension, question interpretation, or timing) and adapt their teaching accordingly. They should also be encouraging without being unrealistic, helping you build genuine confidence through understanding rather than false reassurance. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who combine deep LSAT knowledge with the ability to personalize instruction to your specific challenges.
