Haripriya

10th Grade Tutor • +56 Subjects

I am currently enrolled in the University of Houston for Mathematical Biology. I am following the pre-med track. I aspire to be a doctor one day, so I can further help people. I have had ample experience in tutoring people. I used to help my classmates before and after school in High School, and I volunteer to help tutor some people in my University. I am very passionate about my studies, and I know sometimes everybody needs a little help here and there. I am able to teach things in a new perspective and in a manner that would be most useful to my student. My strong suits are in the areas of Math, English, and Test Prep. By combining what I have been taught and what I have learnt, I will be able to help the students understand the materials one way or another. My tutoring policy is to never just give the answer to anyone. They have to understand how to get there and how to apply that idea to another problem. I believe in positive reinforcement and will never discourage the student, but I do believe in making sure they learn things correctly.

Emily

ACT English Tutor • +24 Subjects

Hi, my name is Emily! I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have!

I graduated from the University of Delaware in 1980 with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I achieved Cum Laude distinction at the time of my graduation, and I was also admitted into Eta Kappa Nu, the electrical engineering honors society. In that organization, I was elected Chapter President during my senior year. Since graduation, I have worked in a wide variety of technology-based corporations, including Raytheon Company, EMS Wireless, and Envista Forensics LLC. My engineering experience was heavily based in mathematics and physics which I used to solve a broad range of engineering challenges. Now, as a retired engineer, I have taken up tutoring students. I specialize in mathematics - Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I am passionate about teaching and learning! I learned from many years of technical experience the value of thoroughly learning the fundamentals of science and mathematics. I really enjoy having students get engaged with the coursework and see them excel beyond their expectations. In my personal time, I enjoy music and amateur radio.

Erica

10th Grade Math Tutor • +31 Subjects

As a graduating senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Business School in May of 2016, majoring in Accounting, I am eager to further expand my career and experiences. I believe that my dedication and strong work ethic, combined with my analytical and organizational skills would make me a perfect fit as a tutor.The courses I have taken, as well as the many organizations and previous work experience I have attained has provided me with customer interaction experience, proved my reliability, and enhanced my leadership and mathematical skills. Math has always been my strongest subject, as shown through my math testing scores, and advanced placement upon entering college. Similarly, my enriched abilities in organization and communication would prove extremely useful for this position.As I worked my way up from a retail employee to the manager and webstore manager of a retail store, I gained leadership skills, technological skills, as well as business decision making and managing financial data. I carried over these skills into many of the organizations in which I took part, such as the community service committee of Beta Alpha Psi and the Institute of Management Accountants. As an accounting volunteer tutor with Beta Alpha Psi, I gained valuable experience that I can apply to my future tutoring sessions. Through these positions, I have been able to further my technological, leadership, and organizational skills, while also strengthening my management and communication talents.Another important strength I have is in my computer skills, especially with Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, and Excel. While working as manager and webstore manager, I expanded my computer knowledge, and further enhanced these skills through classes and organizations over the last few years.Over the course of 4 years in high school, I also volunteered once a week as an after-school tutor and homework helper for elementary school students. It was an extremely gratifying experience, being able to teach these students??? important concepts and methods that I understood.

Joey

Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I recently graduated from the University of Florida cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. In fall, I will be beginning medical school at The University of Florida College of Medicine. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine. Throughout high school, I tutored fellow students struggling in core subject areas such as AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, and AP Economics. Then in college, I worked for a tutoring company for three years continuing this passion through tutoring calculus and statistics.It has always been my goal to cater to the unique learning style of those that I tutor so that they may not only earn a good grade in their course, but also so that they may actually master and enjoy the subject matter as much as possible. With my 8 years of experience, not only do I know the subjects that I tutor in well, but I have also identified and learned different ways to explain difficult concepts in everyday language to my students.

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.
