Pre-Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am a Wake Forest University graduate with a degree in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing a career as a physical therapist.
Anya
Middle School Math Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a graduate of the MA Fashion Studies program at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, having previously studied linguistics and foreign languages (concentrating in Russian and French) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and at McGill University in Montreal. I currently serve as adjunct faculty in the Art and Design History and Theory department at Parsons, where I specialize in courses which combine numerous disciplines within the humanities, such as a course about the relationship between fashion and language and a graduate seminar about writing for fashion publications. I have also led elementary summer art camp workshops in my hometown of Los Alamos, New Mexico. My teaching methods, which are interactive, engaging, and tailored to a range of learning styles, have consistently been described by my students as motivational and encouraging. I tutor a wide range of subjects, from Middle School Math to PSAT and SAT test preparation, but I am most passionate about Critical Reading and Writing and Essay Editing. These are areas in which my students make remarkable progress in short periods of time and also find great pleasure in relating the themes of their writing to their own outside interests and passions. I also enjoy helping students prepare to take standardized tests by addressing, in an understanding and accommodating way, the common anxieties and stresses that can accompany test-taking. Outside of school and tutoring, I enjoy traveling, reading, visiting museums, cooking, and snowboarding.

Suzanne
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.
Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.

Frequently Asked Questions
ISAT reading comprehension requires students to identify main ideas, analyze text structure, and make inferences across passages—skills that go beyond simple recall. Many students struggle with distinguishing between explicit details and implicit meanings, especially when passages contain complex vocabulary or unfamiliar topics. Tutors help students develop annotation strategies, practice active reading techniques, and learn to recognize question patterns that test deeper understanding rather than surface-level facts.
ISAT math timing challenges often stem from students attempting every problem with equal effort rather than prioritizing by difficulty. Effective tutoring focuses on teaching students to quickly identify which problems are worth spending time on, recognize common problem types, and use estimation or elimination strategies to move through sections efficiently. Practice with timed drills and full-length tests helps students calibrate their pace while maintaining accuracy on problems they can solve confidently.
ISAT writing sections emphasize sentence structure, pronoun-antecedent agreement, verb tense consistency, and punctuation in context—not memorized grammar rules. Students often miss these questions because they rely on "what sounds right" rather than understanding the underlying conventions. Tutors help students develop systematic approaches to identifying errors by focusing on the most commonly tested concepts and teaching students to recognize patterns in how ISAT presents grammar challenges within actual passages.
Test anxiety on ISAT often peaks when students encounter unfamiliar question formats or feel unprepared for timing demands. Building confidence through repeated exposure to authentic ISAT questions, practice tests under timed conditions, and mastering specific strategies reduces anxiety significantly. Tutors also help students develop mental frameworks for handling difficult questions—like knowing when to skip and return, or how to use process of elimination—so they feel more in control during the actual test.
Effective ISAT tutoring begins with diagnostic assessment to pinpoint whether a student struggles with specific content (like algebra or literary analysis) or with test-taking skills (like pacing or understanding question formats). Tutors analyze patterns across practice tests to distinguish between careless errors and conceptual gaps, then create targeted practice plans. This focused approach ensures tutoring time addresses the actual obstacles preventing score improvement rather than broad review of material the student already understands.
Full-length ISAT practice tests reveal how students perform under actual testing conditions—including stamina, pacing, and mental fatigue—which shorter practice sets cannot replicate. They also help students become familiar with the exact question formats, passage types, and time constraints they'll face, reducing test-day surprises. Tutors use practice test results to identify patterns in errors and adjust instruction accordingly, making them invaluable diagnostic tools rather than just confidence builders.
Score improvements depend heavily on starting point and effort—students with significant gaps may see larger gains initially, while those already scoring at proficient levels typically see more modest improvements. Most students working with a tutor consistently see measurable progress within 4-6 weeks, though substantial improvements (50+ points) usually require sustained effort over several months. The key is identifying specific weak areas and practicing them strategically rather than hoping for across-the-board gains.
Effective ISAT tutors understand the test's structure deeply—including how different question types are designed to assess skills—and can explain not just correct answers but why wrong answers are traps. They should have strong backgrounds in the content areas tested (reading, writing, and math) and experience teaching test-taking strategies specific to ISAT's format. Most importantly, they can diagnose whether a student's struggles stem from content gaps or test-taking skills, and adjust instruction accordingly.
