I'm experienced in and passionate about (especially computer skills, Python, and math) with others. I try to convey the principles and thought process that are the basis of my own understanding of the subject, not just rules to follow or things to memorize. Being able to explain your answer is even more important than simply getting it right! My tutoring style is personalized, with plenty of examples and frequent knowledge checks to ensure I and my student(s) are in sync. In my spare time I enjoy cycling, skiing, woodworking, reading, and vacationing to Lake Superior.

I am a graduate of Stanford University, where I received a BS in Cognitive Science and an MS in Computer Science. After graduation, I spent a summer in Palestine, where I taught web development, app development, and entrepreneurship to a cohort of overenthusiastic high school students; now, I've moved halfway across the country from the Bay Area to the Twin Cities. From volunteering with organizations like Twin Cities Rise and The Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute to checking out art institutions like the Walker and Mia, it's been such a wonderful time settling into this new place that I call home.
I am currently a senior at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and I am double majoring in Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development and French. I am pre-med, so I do hope to go to medical school next year and am currently in the process of applying. I graduated from Hinsdale Central High School in 2012, and there I was a member of the National Honors Society which was my first experience with tutoring. I am currently a volunteer at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital, and I help patients and siblings with homework and reading there, as well.
I am a current veterinary student and lifelong lover of science, literature and learning. My background is primarily in biology and the life sciences, and in addition to my veterinary program, I also work as part of a research team in comparative oncology that develops treatments for cancer that benefit both humans and animals. I am passionate about increasing public understanding of science, and am happy to work with students of any level of science education.
I am a rising senior at Pomona College, a small liberal arts college in California, majoring in Public Policy Analysis with a concentration in Economics and a minor in Mathematics. Born and raised just outside of Minneapolis, I am excited to be tutoring in the area. I've studied a variety of topics over the course of my academic career, but I feel especially confident in my knowledge base and tutoring ability in math, history, and standardized testing (especially the ACT).
I am an honors student at the University of Minnesota studying English and Journalism. I've been tutoring, teaching, and volunteering in schools for five years and specialize in language arts and standardized test preparation.
I'm more likely to give an answer quickly when a teacher asks a question if I have a habit of properly attuned instincts. So, if I want your confidence to grow, I need to redirect the water your instincts flow through to the proper conduits of careful thinking.
I'm dedicated to critical thought and careful, clear writing. In my independent written work, I focus on issues of political economy, critical theory, and the social and political impacts of technology. I recently also have begun to work on a science fiction novel. In tutoring, I hope to encourage students to approach writing and language with ease and technical competence. I have extensive experience in many academic areas, and can help develop skills for large research projects, short essays, standardized test taking, and everything in between. Nothing is too complex to be broken down clearly and mastered!
I'm a student at the University of Minnesota studying Computer Science with a minor in music. I have a wide variety of experience in many math and science subjects and programming in various languages. I know exactly what it is like to be a student in the subjects I'm tutoring, to struggle with the material, to finally get to that point understand it all. I love learning and to help others out with their work when they're struggling to learn, and I'm excited to share my passions with you!
I am a supportive teacher but I always push my students to succeed. I don't teach based on what my students can already do, I teach based on where I know they are capable of going and what they are capable of doing. I also make sure to talk with them. No one knows how the students learn best more than the students themselves. I bring multiple approaches and vantage points, ready to hit every possible arena and hopefully perk the students' learning style at some point.
I'm passionate about both STEM subjects and the humanities, and love helping students translate their strengths in one area to another.
I am a current student at the University of St. Thomas, working towards my major of Computer Science and while I am proficient in a broad range of subjects I love math and science the most. Before university, I was able to travel with my family to a lot of places and meet a huge variety of people because of this I love meeting new people. I love hearing about their family dynamic or their group of friends at school and exchanging funny stories along the way.
I am now pursuing a Master's Degree in education from the University of Minnesota and am working toward obtaining my K-6 elementary teaching license. During the day, I work full time as a reading tutor at a school in South Minneapolis. I enjoy basketball, video games, hiking, and reading. In addition to my undergraduate degree in finance, I also received my CFA Charter in 2019.
I am a sophomore at the University of Minnesota majoring in Economics. I enjoy helping people learn because I believe true mastery of a subject is being able to teach it. My promise to the students I work with is to put in as much work as they do. I firmly believe that what you get out of something depends on what you put in, so whatever a student will put in I will give back.
I am an avid classical pianist, EMT, swimmer, and tinkerer. I love explaining things and paying forward my knowledge to those around me!
I am back in the United States, I work at Children's Defense Fund as the Youth Programs Associate. In my free time, I like to hike with my dog, read, and cook!
I'm Emma! I'm a rising senior Classics major at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I study Latin, Ancient Greek, and the histories associated with the two languages. Outside of class, I'm an RA, and I spend 6-8 hours a week tutoring and teaching college access courses in a nearby high school. In the future, I hope to teach high school Latin!
I am able to tutor a broad range of chemistry courses, from organic to physical to general chemistry, as well as math and physics classes. I can also help with test prep for the ACT, SAT, or GRE. I believe that asking questions is the basis of independent learning, so I strive to create an environment students feel that no question is too small to be asked. I love learning, and I hope to spark the joy of new understanding in my students!
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I have had a lot of experience tutoring standardized prep through my own old tutoring non-profit. I believe in learning by doing, so we are going to be doing a lot of practice problems to learn all the best test taking methods!
I'm excited to work with students and to facilitate their learning and school engagement. I have graduated recently enough to remember what school and class are like. It's an exciting time in life, but it can bring challenges too, at any level of education. That's why I'm here to collaborate with any students who can benefit from my tutoring. I hope to show clarity, professionalism, and respect in helping students master their work and continue to feel eager about learning.
I am a software engineer and logistics specialist with a B.S. from the College of Science & Engineering at the University of Minnesota.
I am right now if not for the patient, determined, and creative teachers I had who not only helped me academically but also made me feel safe and connected. This is the kind of teacher I want to be, and I hope that I can make the kind of difference in my students’ lives that my teachers have made for me.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.
I'm a current medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine with undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee in chemical engineering and anthropology. I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching since 2010, and am ready to help you with your learning needs! I focus on standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and also tutor in a wide range of math, English, and Spanish classes. In my free time, I like to run, do CrossFit, volunteer, and watch TV!
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors!

I worked with students taking classes in all levels of mathematics falling under Algebra, Calculus, Combinatorics, and Problem Solving.
I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!
I am a first year medical student at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. I have been a private tutor in the past in subjects such as math, biology, chemistry, and the SATs and every single one of my more than twenty students have shown significant improvement. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching, and your needs and preferences as the learner will always be paramount. I hope to help every one of my students reach every bit of their potential, and along the way, to utterly shatter any self-induced limitations that have been placed upon what they can accomplish.
I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.
I'm a rising junior at Brown University studying biomedical engineering. I have lots of experience in middle school through college level instruction in STEM and SAT/ACT prep. My goal is to provide a fun and productive learning environment by only teaching subjects that I am passionate about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment, but most students see meaningful gains through personalized instruction. Research on 1-on-1 tutoring shows it significantly accelerates learning compared to self-study alone. Many students improve by 3-7 points on the Logical Reasoning section when they work with a tutor to identify their specific weaknesses—whether that's assumption questions, weaken/strengthen arguments, or conditional reasoning. Your tutor will create a targeted study plan, track your progress on practice tests, and adjust strategies based on which question types challenge you most.
The most frequent mistakes fall into a few categories: misidentifying the argument's conclusion, confusing necessary conditions with sufficient conditions, and selecting answer choices that sound good without matching what the question actually asks. Students often rush through stimulus passages without fully mapping the logical structure, which leads to errors on assumption and inference questions. Another common issue is overthinking—selecting an answer that's technically related to the argument but doesn't answer the specific question. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach to breaking down arguments, spotting logical flaws, and eliminating wrong answers methodically rather than relying on instinct.
Pacing is about working smarter, not faster. The Logical Reasoning sections have 24-26 questions in 35 minutes, so you need a strategy beyond just reading quickly. Expert tutors recommend starting with a 1-2 minute scan of all questions to identify easier ones, then tackling them first to build confidence and bank time. More complex assumption or parallel reasoning questions might need 2-3 minutes, while basic inference questions should take 60-90 seconds. Practice tests are essential—use them to identify your personal timing patterns and which question types slow you down. Your tutor can help you develop conditional benchmarks: if you're finishing 5+ questions early, you have time to be thorough; if you're rushing at the end, you need to trim time on easier questions.
The LSAT tests several core question types repeatedly: Main Point/Primary Purpose, Assumption, Weaken/Strengthen, Flaw, Inference, and Parallel Reasoning. Assumption questions are particularly common and often challenge students because they require you to identify unstated premises that make an argument work. Weaken/Strengthen questions test your ability to evaluate how additional information affects an argument's logic. Flaw questions ask you to spot logical errors in reasoning. Because these types repeat across every test, a tutor will help you develop a pattern-recognition system for each one—understanding what each question is really asking and what wrong answers typically look like. Once you master the framework for each question type, your accuracy and speed both improve.
Consistency beats intensity. Research on learning science shows that spaced repetition and practice testing build stronger skill development than cramming. A realistic schedule for students in Minneapolis preparing for the LSAT typically involves 3-5 focused study sessions per week, with each Logical Reasoning session running 45-90 minutes depending on where you are in your prep. Start by drilling individual question types for accuracy, then move to timed sections once your accuracy is solid (usually 75%+ on untimed work). Full practice tests should happen 1-2 times per week in your final 4-6 weeks of prep. Your tutor will help you track which question types need more work and adjust your schedule accordingly—if you're struggling with assumption questions, you might dedicate an entire session to those before moving on.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who tailor their approach to your needs. Your first sessions usually involve diagnostic work—reviewing your practice test results, identifying which question types give you trouble, and understanding your timing patterns. From there, your tutor builds a customized plan that might include drilling specific question types, learning logical reasoning frameworks (like mapping conditional statements or argument structures), reviewing your wrong answers to spot patterns, and gradually introducing timed practice. Sessions are personalized 1-on-1 instruction, so pacing and depth align with your learning speed. Many students work with a tutor 1-2 times per week throughout their LSAT prep, with frequency increasing as test day approaches. Your tutor will also help you develop confidence by celebrating progress on practice tests and adjusting strategies when something isn't working.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about your approach. The best antidote is building genuine skill and confidence through targeted practice. Work extensively with practice tests so the format and question types feel familiar—familiarity reduces anxiety. Develop a consistent pre-test routine: breathing exercises, reviewing key frameworks, and reminding yourself that you've seen every question type before. During the actual test, focus on the process (reading carefully, following your strategy) rather than the outcome (your score). If you freeze on a question, a tutor-taught strategy like marking it and moving on helps preserve your mental energy. Many students also benefit from discussing test-day anxiety with their tutor, who can help normalize the experience and build a mental game plan specific to your anxiety triggers.
