I am an undergraduate at Washington University, and I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love Pre-algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra and everything in between! I have tutored for about four years and have worked with students of all ages. Most students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's restaurants. I also love baking, playing with dogs and cats, watching movies with my friends and playing soccer.

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

A decade of teaching math and science bilingually in Ecuador gave Joy an unusually clear sense of how students misread SAT Math prompts — she treats each word problem as a translation exercise, training students to convert cluttered language into the clean algebraic setup hiding underneath. Her double major in biology and Hispanic literatures at Boston University meant constant toggling between quantitative and verbal reasoning, a combination that pays off on the SAT's data-interpretation and modeling questions where reading comprehension is half the battle.

Hola! Mucho gusto! I am a Spanish and Biology tutor with more than three years of tutoring experience currently living in Panama City, Panama. I teach beginner and intermediate Spanish, focusing on developing conversational and grammatical skills in a variety of real-life contexts. I enjoy developing personalized lessons to match each student's needs. My goal is for my students to be able to face any Spanish-related challenge with confidence, so I teach a wide variety of topics to help my students gain practical experience speaking Spanish. I graduated from Harding University with my degree in Biochemistry in May of 2026. I love biology and have experience tutoring a variety of high school and college biology classes. My research focus is on the role of microglial cells in neurodegenerative diseases. On a personal note, I spend much of my free time making art, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Political science at Michigan means Mahika spends her weeks buried in polling data, statistical models, and policy cost-benefit analyses — quantitative reasoning that overlaps heavily with the SAT Math section's percentage, table-reading, and real-world modeling questions. She zeroes in on the algebra-to-application gap, teaching students to convert the test's deliberately wordy setups into straightforward equations before solving, a skill she sharpened through two-plus years of tutoring math alongside test prep.

I am a graduate of Rockhurst University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with a minor in English Literature. Upon graduating, I became certified to teach both elementary education (grades 1-6) and English Language Arts (grades 5-9) in the state of Missouri. I have spent the past two years teaching seventh grade reading and writing, and I have loved every minute of it! Not only do I love helping my students understand new concepts in my subject areas, but I also really enjoy sharing literature, both classics and new fiction, with them in hopes it will foster a love of reading. I believe in the power of literature to spark critical thinking and help students make meaningful connections to their lives and the lives of others. It may come as no surprise that one of my chief hobbies is reading; I try to read fifty new novels every year, many of which I can then recommend to my students! I tutor a broad range of subjects, most notably English, Literature, and ACT/SAT Test Preparations, but regardless of what I am tutoring, my teaching philosophy and style stems from building relationships with my students. While I have a great innate desire to help the next generation learn and succeed, I realize that the first step to doing so is getting to know my students and their individual needs. Only then can I create truly meaningful, relevant, and applicable lessons and tutoring sessions that will help them learn and grow. My passion is to help students realize their potential as life-long learners and help them succeed as they navigate their educational paths.

Students in a six-year medical program don't get to be shaky on math — and Vijaya's 1550 SAT confirms that fluency carries over to standardized testing. She zeroes in on the geometry and trigonometry questions that many students under-practice, teaching quick sketch-and-solve techniques that turn abstract angle and circle problems into straightforward calculations. Rated 5.0 by students.

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 1550 on the SAT herself, Nina knows the specific traps the math section sets — misleading answer choices on quadratic problems, tricky unit conversions, and data-interpretation questions designed to punish rushing. She teaches students a systematic approach to each question type so that pacing and accuracy improve together. Her statistics training also gives her an edge on the data-analysis questions that many tutors treat as an afterthought.

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.

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 an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

Elena scored a 1600 on the SAT and treats the math section as a strategic exercise, not just a math test. She teaches students to recognize which problems reward algebraic setup versus back-solving or plugging in, then builds that decision-making instinct through timed practice where she listens to their reasoning in real time and flags inefficient habits.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

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

Engineering coursework at Washington and Lee gave Alex daily practice with the exact math the SAT tests at its hardest level: systems of equations, quadratic modeling, and interpreting complex data tables. He scored a 1590 composite and now teaches students to distinguish between problems that reward algebraic manipulation and those better solved by plugging in values or back-solving. That strategic flexibility is often what separates a 700 from a 780.

Scoring high on SAT Math means handling everything from passport-to-advanced-math questions involving quadratics and exponential functions to data analysis problems that test statistical reasoning. Edward earned a 1520 SAT and studies engineering at Michigan, so these concepts are part of his daily coursework. He pinpoints the specific question types a student struggles with — whether that's systems of equations or interpreting scatterplots — and drills those until the patterns click.

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.

Psychology and linguistics both demand rigorous data interpretation — Sherry's UChicago coursework in experimental design and statistical analysis maps directly onto the SAT Math section's tables, scatterplots, and percentage questions. Her perfect 1600 SAT means she's mastered every corner of the test, but she zeroes in on the geometry and advanced math problems where students most often misread what's being asked, using her linguist's instinct to untangle the SAT's deliberately tricky phrasing. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring 1570 on the SAT means Eric knows exactly where the test tries to trip students up — especially on the math side, where questions about quadratics, systems of equations, and data interpretation are designed to punish rushing. He breaks each problem type into a decision tree so students recognize what's being asked before they start calculating. That pattern-recognition skill is what separates a good math score from a great one.

Classics and philosophy trained Austin to think in precise logical structures — the same skill that untangles the SAT Math section's deliberately tricky word problems, where understanding what's being asked matters as much as knowing the math. His 1570 SAT means he's already cracked the test at a near-perfect level, and he teaches students to convert convoluted phrasing into straightforward algebraic setups before solving anything.

Scoring a 1570 on the SAT, Perry knows exactly where the math section tries to trip students up — especially on quadratic and exponential word problems that test conceptual understanding rather than computation speed. He teaches efficient strategies for data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math questions that turn tricky phrasing into straightforward algebra. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 1570 on the SAT, Joey knows the Math section inside and out — from the no-calculator questions that test algebraic fluency to the data-analysis problems that reward careful reading. He teaches students to recognize question patterns and avoid common traps, turning timed practice into a strategic exercise rather than a frantic race.

Miranda earned a 1560 SAT composite, which means she tackled the Math section's trickiest territory — passport-to-advanced-math problems involving quadratics, systems, and nonlinear modeling. She teaches students to recognize what each question is actually asking beneath its wording, a skill that turns intimidating multi-step problems into familiar patterns.

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.

Two semesters of SAT prep mentoring through CollegeSpring gave Kiersten a clear picture of where students lose points on SAT Math: usually in translating word problems into equations and managing time on the no-calculator section. She scored a 1550 on the SAT herself and teaches specific techniques for setting up algebraic models quickly and checking answers without second-guessing.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!

A math degree from Georgetown plus a 1580 SAT means Peter doesn't just know the content — he knows which algebraic shortcuts and graph-reading strategies actually save time under pressure. He breaks the SAT Math section into pattern categories so students recognize problem types within seconds and spend their energy solving, not deciphering. Rated 5.0 by students.

Finance and statistics coursework at NYU means Dennis spends his days building models around the same quantitative reasoning the SAT Math section tests — probability, linear relationships, and interpreting data from tables and graphs. His 1550 SAT score came partly from treating the no-calculator questions as logic puzzles rather than computation drills, an approach he now teaches by walking students through how to eliminate answer choices using number properties before ever picking up a pencil.

Violet's 1550 SAT and her math degree from Brown mean she can diagnose exactly where a student's algebra or data analysis gaps are costing them points on SAT Math. She teaches the handful of non-obvious techniques — backsolving, strategic plugging-in, unit analysis on word problems — that turn 650-range scores into 750+ scores. Her style leans heavily on shortcuts that make the no-calculator section feel less like a time crunch.

I'm a graduate of Columbia University with a B.A. in History. I'm passionate about history and English, but I'm a competent math tutor as well. I have received outstanding scores on my SAT and AP tests, and am confident in my ability to pass on these skills to the next generation.

I am a junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.

Kevin earned a 1550 SAT alongside his 36 ACT, so he knows exactly where the two math sections diverge — the SAT leans harder into multi-step word problems, data interpretation, and algebraic reasoning that rewards setting up equations carefully over grinding through calculations. He breaks down the no-calculator section's trickiest question types, like systems of equations and quadratic modeling, into repeatable strategies. His engineering training at Case Western Reserve keeps him sharp on every concept the test covers.

I'm currently a student at Northeastern University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

I am no longer needed.

I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.

I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.

Scoring well on SAT Math requires recognizing which tool fits each problem before time pressure kicks in — is this a substitution question disguised as a word problem, or a ratio question hiding inside a geometry setup? Rachel earned a 1600 and knows the test's architecture inside and out. She teaches students to categorize problems on sight so they spend their energy solving, not figuring out where to start.

Scoring high on SAT Math often comes down to five or six 'hard' problems that test nonlinear systems, advanced quadratic properties, or tricky ratio setups — the rest is execution speed. Maggie's 1600 composite score came partly from a disciplined strategy: lock down the first 40 questions efficiently, then allocate real thinking time to those final problems. She pinpoints exactly which problem types a student struggles with and builds speed and accuracy from there.
