Heart-of-algebra and passport-to-advanced-math questions make up the bulk of SAT Math, and Sarah tackles both by teaching students to spot which concept a problem is really testing underneath its wording. She scored 1550 on the SAT and brings a structured, pattern-based approach to the no-calculator and calculator sections alike.

I'm not spending hours reading Nietzsche, I'm doing improv comedy and graphic design. I'm currently pursuing a career in advertising/consulting, and in my spare time I eat mini tacos and watch Louis CK stand-up comedy.

I'm especially passionate about helping with English, college application essays, and SAT Writing. I remember firsthand how challenging the college application process can be, so I find it fulfilling to help students discern their own narratives and share techniques to help them succeed. As a 10-time tournament champion in Impromptu speaking, I also love coaching students in public speech and helping them build their confidence!

Every SAT Math question can be solved in under two minutes if you spot the right entry point — and Sebastian, who earned a 1580 composite, teaches students to find that entry point consistently. He breaks the section into its core categories: linear equations, quadratic reasoning, ratios, and data interpretation, then shows how the test recycles the same structural tricks across difficulty levels. Students learn to read the question strategically rather than diving straight into computation.

Every SAT Math question falls into one of a handful of concept buckets — heart of algebra, passport to advanced math, problem solving and data analysis — and Maha teaches students to identify which bucket they're in before picking up a pencil. Her 1510 SAT score and science-heavy academic background mean she's comfortable with the calculator and no-calculator sections alike, especially the multi-step problems that blend algebra with real-world modeling.

I am a proponent for the social sciences, it was important that I compliment this understanding with a major in the humanities. I decided to double major in Philosophy and Political Science, giving myself the breadth required to formally contemplate life and society. I needed philosophy to attain a grasp of personhood. This would allow me to reflect more deeply on the individual within structures that serve to hinder or enhance their life experience. In classes, I found myself pulling philosophical concepts and using them to analyze working political ideologies' efficacy in society.

Alicia scored a 1520 on the SAT and knows the math section inside out — from the no-calculator algebra questions to the trickier data analysis and advanced math problems that trip up even strong students. She breaks down each question type by strategy so students learn to spot what's actually being tested before they start solving.

John's approach to SAT Math zeroes in on the difference between knowing algebra and knowing how the SAT tests algebra — things like rewriting equations to match answer choices or catching unit conversion traps in word problems. With a 1420 SAT and deep experience across calculus, geometry, and college algebra, he connects each practice problem to the specific concept being tested so students build real recognition, not just test-day luck.

Scoring a 1590 SAT means Anna has already dissected every question type the Math section throws at students — from no-calculator algebra and systems of equations to data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math problems involving polynomials and exponentials. She teaches efficient strategies for avoiding trap answers and managing pacing across both calculator and no-calculator modules.

I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.

Medical school at Baylor means Michelle solves quantitative problems under brutal time constraints every day — and her 1570 SAT proves she's already mastered doing exactly that on the test her students are preparing for. She zeroes in on the algebraic modeling and geometry questions where a biochemistry background actually helps, teaching students to treat each problem like a lab setup: identify the variables, find the relationship, then solve cleanly without second-guessing.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
