Matthew K.
Princeton University, UCLA
SAT / ACT expert & Professional Writing Consultant
Hello! My name's Matt. I'm a Princeton and UCLA graduate with nearly two decades of experience in education. Standardized Testing: I've tutored the SAT and ACT for nearly two decades. I've helped hundreds of students improve their scores significantly, often by 200-300 points on the SAT, and by as many as 8-10 points on the ACT. I'm also experienced in tutoring the GRE and the ISEE. Writing Consulting: I have 7 years of experience as a writing consultant for graduate and professional students--PhD students, master's students, and law and medical students. If you're working on a master's thesis, a dissertation, or any other advanced work (including resumes, cover letters, and personal statements), I'm the right choice for you. I've also worked extensively with undergraduates and high-school students on everything from class essays to college admissions essays. In addition to the previous two specialties, I'm also a versatile educator who is experienced in many subjects (both STEM and the humanities) across many age ranges (from kindergarten through adult learners). I have nearly twenty years of experience in education, and will help just about any student in almost any subject area. Please note that my listed rate is my maximum rate, and usually applies to standardized testing and high-level writing consulting. Please inquire about lower rates for other services.

Abigail P.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
ACT/SAT and English Tutor with 3 Years of Experience
Hello! My name is Abby, and I've been tutoring and teaching for 3 years now. I have a BA in English & comparative literature and in political science from the University of North Carolina, where I graduated summa cum laude. Go heels! I have a variety of teaching experiences. I've been an online tutor with Varsity Tutors since 2020, where I mainly teach ACT/SAT test prep, K-12 English, and college application essay writing. After graduating from university in May 2021, I also began working as a classroom teacher. During the summer of 2021, I was a 4th and 5th-grade reading and math remediation teacher for summer school. And for the past two school years, I've been teaching 7-12th grade English at a secondary school in Spain. In Spain, I also do private English tutoring for many families, with children ranging in age from 5 to 11 years old. My tutoring philosophy is to provide students with the learning strategies they need to master information in their studies and to foster lifelong independent learning skills. I want to help students be passionate about their education, so they have self-motivation to improve. I mainly teach K-12 English, ACT/SAT test prep, and essay writing. But I'm also comfortable teaching many history, social science, and humanities subjects.

Badri Narayanan R.
University of Pittsburgh
SAT/ACT Tutor
After studying for the SAT for years (since the 8th grade), I have an extremely comprehensive experience with the exam and its questions. In my first attempt, I was able to score a 1460 and on the second, I raised that to a 1540 (99th percentile). After this, I felt very confident in my ability to share my knowledge and experiences in mastering the SAT. So, I decided to start tutoring my friends and other students at my local library. I directly worked with 3-4 students at a time and provided them with very useful tips and tricks to rapidly improve their math scores on the SAT. After seeing the improved results of the students I tutored, I became very passionate about tutoring SAT Test prep. In my tutoring lessons, I will start off by understanding students' baseline scores, their goals, and the areas that they wish to improve. During tutoring, I will explain online by going through official SAT Test Prep lesson plans and then go on to explicitly teach them the concepts necessary to answer questions on all sections of the SAT. Focusing on weaknesses and motivating students to continue practicing problems consistently is my specialty and it has gone to improve their SAT scores significantly. I will also provide several resources to find SAT test problems online and practice with real tests as well.

Let's put it this way: They would "rehire" me every night, so I must have done something right! I would love to assist you. Thank you for your consideration.
