Certified SAT Tutor
Tanay
BA Northeastern University
9+ Years Tutoring

Tanay earned a perfect 1600 on the SAT, which means he's seen exactly how every section rewards specific patterns — from the algebra and data analysis traps in the Math section to the evidence-based reasoning structures that repeat across Reading and Writing passages. His finance coursework at Northeastern sharpened the quantitative and analytical skills he now applies to building section-by-section strategies tailored to where each student is losing points. Rated 5.0 by students.

Surya
BA Johns Hopkins University
1+ Years Tutoring

As a Neuroscience major at Johns Hopkins University, I've had the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of complex scientific and mathematical conceptsknowledge I'm passionate about sharing with students through tutoring. I've worked extensively with students in both academic and mentorship roles, and I find the most rewarding part of tutoring is helping students grow their confidence and ability to tackle difficult problems on their own. I specialize in SAT and ACT test preparation, particularly in the Math and Science sections. I enjoy guiding students through problem-solving strategies and simplifying challenging concepts, whether it's interpreting data in a science passage or navigating tricky algebraic expressions. My background as a PILOT leader, supporting students in Calculus and Biology, has shaped a collaborative and encouraging teaching style. I aim to meet students where they are, identify their learning strengths, and help them build a foundation they can trust on test day and beyond. Outside of tutoring, I conduct research in a neurosurgical laboratory where I work with brain imaging and machine learning to better understand tumor pathology. I also serve my community as a volunteer in pediatric and trauma hospital departments and as a camp counselor and development coordinator for children impacted by cancer. These experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of individualized supportvalues I bring into every tutoring session. Whether I'm walking students through a math section or breaking down scientific reasoning questions, my goal is to empower them with the tools and mindset they need to succeed. I strive to make learning engaging, approachable, and personally meaningful for each student I work with.

Lisa
BA Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a perfect 1600 on the SAT while studying sociology and anthropology means Lisa developed the verbal reasoning and data interpretation skills the test demands across both sections — not just one. She teaches students to recognize the grammar and rhetoric patterns that repeat in the Writing and Language module, then applies the same pattern-recognition mindset to Heart of Algebra and Problem Solving questions on the math side.

Eileen
BA Vanderbilt University
5+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience coursework at Vanderbilt trained Eileen to process dense, data-heavy passages quickly — exactly the skill that separates good SAT scores from great ones on the Evidence-Based Reading section. She scored a 1550 and built her own prep strategy around identifying question patterns across both the verbal and math sides, so students walk into test day with a repeatable system rather than vague instincts. Rated 4.7 by students.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

Yale's mechanical engineering program demands the same kind of precise quantitative reasoning that drives the SAT Math section — Charles uses that training to teach students how to set up word problems, work through no-calculator algebra, and interpret data tables efficiently. He scored a 1440 on the SAT himself and brings particular strength to the real-world application questions that blend physics intuition with algebraic technique.

Rhamy
BA Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is one of the most competitive STEM magnets in the country — Rhamy came out of it with the analytical rigor and test-taking discipline that earned him a 1570 SAT. Now a computer engineering major at Vanderbilt, he teaches the math section with particular depth in algebra, problem modeling, and data analysis, while applying the same systematic logic to breaking down evidence-based reading questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

Michelle
BA Duke University
4+ Years Tutoring

Duke's computer science program trained Michelle to think in systems — a skill she applies to SAT prep by teaching students to recognize the structural patterns behind both the math and verbal sections rather than treating each question as a standalone puzzle. Her own 1570 SAT score came from exactly this kind of pattern-based approach, and she builds section-specific strategies around pacing, elimination, and translating word problems into solvable setups. Rated 5.0 by students.

Karen
Current Undergrad, Secondary Education (Social Studies) / European History Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

Training to teach high school social studies and history at Vanderbilt's Peabody College means Karen spends her days learning how to make dense, argument-heavy texts accessible — exactly the skill that drives scores up on the SAT's Evidence-Based Reading section. She scored a 1570 on the SAT herself and covers all three sections, connecting her strong quantitative background (she also tutors calculus and IB math) to the algebra and data-analysis problems that dominate the Math portion.

Dennis
MS Vanderbilt University • BA Grinnell College

Dennis's graduate training in Chemical and Physical Biology at Vanderbilt built the kind of analytical reading and data interpretation skills that show up constantly on the SAT — from parsing dense science passages to breaking down graph-based math questions. He scored a 1450 on the SAT himself and uses that experience to teach pacing strategies and question-type triage across both sections. Rated 5.0 by students, he's especially effective with science-minded test-takers who need to sharpen their verbal approach.

She also covers the Reading and Writing side, using her literature and essay editing background to teach students how to spot evidence pairings and grammar traps quickly under time pressure.

History majors read dense, argumentative prose all day — which is exactly the skill the SAT's Evidence-Based Reading section rewards. Alexander applies that close-reading instinct to passage analysis and command-of-evidence questions, and his 1510 SAT score shows the approach pays off on the math side too, where he walks students through the algebra and data-interpretation patterns that repeat across every test form.
