Anna

Algebra Tutor • +6 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Lowell where I received a BS in Mathematics and a minor in STEM Education. I will begin teaching mathematics at Lowell High School in the Fall of 2015, and I could not be more excited! Before I graduated college, I worked for the Centers for Learning as a peer tutor. I also held planned review sessions for both midterm and final exams. Besides tutoring, I have been working teaching children since I was a senior in high school. After high school, I started working as a swim instructor and lifeguard at a summer camp. I have also been an assistant coach on a private swim clinic.My favorite subjects to tutor are geometry and algebra. Algebra is the foundation for many advanced topics in mathematics, and I strive to deepen students understanding of algebraic concepts and procedures. I recently completed my student teaching at Billerica Memorial High School, and I could not believe the number of students who still struggled with Algebra. I cannot wait to begin teaching so I can plan lessons and activities that show just how mathematics is to the real world!My tutoring style varies a lot per client. I like to assess each individual's needs and decide how to proceed from there. I like working one on one with students, and I like to teach through exploration and inquiry. I do not want to just show you or tell you the answer, I want to guide you towards getting there yourself! There is nothing like the feeling of knowing you helped a student understand something completely.Other than tutoring, I like to stay active, and I really enjoy being outdoors! While I was in high school, and for a year in college, I was on the swim team. Swimming is still one of my favorite things to do when I can find the time! I also like to run and hike with my dogs. While in college, I completed my first triathlon, and I am working towards completing another one in the upcoming year.

Hello, I am a passionate and energetic native French Teacher from Brittany, France. I have over 10 years of experience teaching all levels and experiences of French to various age groups from children to adults. My goal as French tutor is to help students reach their full potential and give them confidence to succeed in French. On my initial meeting with the student, I assess their strengths and personality in order to tailer a tutoring program that is geared to their individual needs. A good tutor means being able to relate to the students personal way of interpreting the French language and showing your willingness to adapt a methodology to meet their needs. My tutoring and teaching sessions encourages and immerses creative processes for developing a student aptitude and mindset for an appreciation of bilingual opportunities and cultural enrichment. French is an artistic language that provides unlimited possibilities for developing an aptitude for cultural enrichment and artistic appreciation. Students who embrace the macro aspect of the language will also embrace the dynamics of the French culture, French art and French history.

Meredith

ACT Prep Tutor • +23 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2011 majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Chemistry. I worked for several years as a product engineer in industry and now am applying to go to medical school. While a college student, I was a campus tour guide, undergraduate researcher, violinist in orchestra, and I tutored both high school and college students for the Pitt Engineering Career Access Program. The tutoring program was designed to support students focused on graduating with a degree in science, technology, engineering, or math. My favorite subjects to tutor are anything in the math and science fields. I firmly believe that with the right approach and a bit of practice, anyone can grasp these topics. I treat solving math problems more like solving a puzzle, one piece at a time. Since I am passionate about the importance of math and science, I enjoy making them more relatable to a student by explaining their real world applications whenever possible.One of my favorite activities is distance running. I am a volunteer coach for the Girls on the Run Philadelphia organization and I ran the 2013 Chicago Marathon.Overall, I am an enthusiastic person and am excited about any opportunity to have a positive impact. I try to combine my technical background and creative personality to make learning a difficult topic easier for a student. I enjoy tutoring and find a great sense of gratification in helping students achieve their academic endeavors.

12th Grade Math Tutor • +42 Subjects

I have always been a goal oriented and reaching-for-the-stars individual. As a New York native, I graduated as the salutatorian from high school with regents' honors. I have excelled with 95%+ in all of my high school regents examinations. As a high school student I fell in love with Math & Science and frequently tutored my colleagues who were struggling with their classes. In my senior year of high school I achieved the NY1 Scholar Athlete scholarship and was placed on the NYC Chancellor's Honor Roll. I then went on to Stony Brook University where I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biology. At Stony Brook, I was on the Dean's List every semester and a Golden Key Honor Society Member. After completing my undergraduate science classes, I became a Teaching Assistant for Biology and Chemistry. As a teaching assistant, I met with students on a one to one basis during office hours and helped strengthen their problem areas.After undergrad, I went to medical school and graduated with honors. During medical school I tutored and prepared students for the United States Medical License examinations. I prepared and delivered daily lectures for the internal medicine students and increased the pass rate from 65% to 90%. I completed my medical clerkships and attained my M.D. December 2014.I am committed, devoted and conscientious to everything I set my mind on and my decision to tutor reflects my lifelong desire for personal growth and education. When tutoring, I believe that 'diagnosing' a student's weakness is essential to building a strong foundation. It is my motto to work hard and give nothing less than my very best. It brings joy to me and the thrill of seeing a student improve with my help drives my compassion and love for teaching. Teaching not only excites me but has become a part of me that I am dedicated to and passionate about. In my spare time I enjoy playing volleyball and running various races and marathons.

One thing I know for sure is, as a student, the feeling of studying for a class or test and only vaguely understanding the material can be extremely stressful. That's why I am more than happy to share my knowledge with others who are struggling! Tutoring is a great way for me to spend my time helping others excel.I am currently a student at Rice University in Houston, Texas where I am majoring in Mathematical Economic Analysis. I have a strong math background and am also to teach test prep, having scored in the top percentile on the SAT and PSAT in high school. Best of all, I am still in school, so I know exactly what it is like to have classes, homework, tests, and deadlines!

Frequently Asked Questions

The Series 7 is a comprehensive exam covering everything from securities regulations to complex investment products, and most test-takers struggle with a few key areas. Many people find the regulatory and compliance rules overwhelming due to the sheer volume of details and nuanced distinctions between similar rules. Additionally, the math-heavy sections—including bond calculations, options strategies, and portfolio analysis—trip up candidates who lack strong quantitative foundations. Time management is another critical challenge, as the 225-question, 6-hour exam requires strategic pacing and the ability to quickly identify what each question is really asking beneath sometimes confusing wording.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify your specific knowledge gaps and learning style, then tailor the curriculum to address exactly what you need. While group courses follow a fixed schedule and content order, personalized tutoring lets you spend more time on challenging topics like options spreads or municipal securities, and move quickly through areas you already understand. A tutor can also provide immediate feedback on your practice questions, explain the reasoning behind correct and incorrect answers, and help you develop test-taking strategies that work for your brain—whether that's memorization techniques for rules or problem-solving approaches for calculations.

The best Series 7 tutors have both deep subject matter expertise—ideally professional experience in securities, compliance, or financial services—and proven teaching ability. Look for someone who understands not just what the rules are, but why they exist and how they apply in real-world scenarios, which helps concepts stick better than pure memorization. They should be skilled at breaking down complex topics like options strategies and bond pricing into understandable pieces, comfortable with the quantitative side of the exam, and able to adapt their teaching style to your learning preferences. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have demonstrated success helping Series 7 candidates pass on their first attempt.

Most candidates benefit from 3-4 months of focused preparation, though this varies based on your financial background and how quickly you grasp securities concepts. A typical study schedule includes 15-20 hours per week of combined tutoring and independent practice. Many successful candidates meet with a tutor 2-3 times per week—often for 1-2 hour sessions—to learn new content, work through challenging problem sets, and take practice exams. Your tutor can help you assess your readiness through diagnostic tests and adjust the pace and frequency of sessions based on your progress toward mastery.

The Series 7 is a comprehensive exam with 225 questions covering six major content areas: knowledge of securities products (stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, and alternative investments); understanding of SEC, FINRA, and other regulatory rules; customer account policies and practices; helping customers make investment recommendations; customer protection and suitability; and the mechanics of executing and settling trades. The exam is administered over 6 hours and tests not just knowledge recall but your ability to apply rules and concepts to realistic scenarios. A tutor can help you understand how these topics interconnect—for example, how regulatory rules affect what recommendations you can make to different types of customers—rather than studying them as isolated facts.

With consistent preparation and quality tutoring support, the majority of candidates pass the Series 7 on their first attempt. Personalized instruction significantly increases your chances by ensuring you understand the material deeply rather than relying on memorization, and by helping you develop the strategic thinking and time management skills needed during the actual exam. Beyond just passing, working with a tutor helps you build genuine competence in securities knowledge—meaning you'll be more confident and capable in your role as a securities professional. Your tutor can track your progress through practice exams and targeted drills, identifying when you're ready to test and when you need additional reinforcement in specific areas.

Options are notoriously difficult because they require understanding multiple layers: the mechanics of how options contracts work, how to read and interpret options chains, strategies that combine multiple options positions (like spreads and straddles), and how different market conditions affect profitability. Many candidates struggle with the visual/spatial reasoning needed to track which strategies profit when prices go up versus down, and the mathematical calculations for breakeven points and maximum gain/loss. Additionally, options questions on the Series 7 are often worded in complex ways that can mask what's actually being asked. A tutor can teach you practical frameworks—like profit/loss diagrams and payoff tables—that make options strategies predictable and understandable rather than overwhelming.
