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.

Kate
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +53 Subjects
I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
Elena
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a second year law student at the University of Chicago who hails from the San Francisco Bay Area! I tutor the SAT, ESL, and Spanish. I was an AVID tutor in high school, and after college I taught an ESL class and tutored a high school student in Spanish. In law school, I am involved with the Lawyers in the Classroom program. My tutoring philosophy is based on listening to students work through problems and helping them to spot their confusions or incorrect assumptions. I believe students learn much better when they aren't simply told the right answer or right reasoning; they need to get there on their own.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement varies based on your starting point and effort, but students typically see gains of 50-100+ points with focused preparation and consistent practice. The national average SAT Math score is around 520, and many students improve faster when working with a tutor who can identify gaps and target weak areas directly. Real improvement comes from understanding concepts you're struggling with, not just memorizing shortcuts—which is where personalized instruction makes the biggest difference.
Timing is one of the most common challenges students face on SAT Math. The section gives you 80 minutes for 58 questions, so you need a strategy. Tutors often recommend tackling easier problems first to build confidence and secure points, then returning to harder ones. Working through timed practice tests regularly helps you develop a feel for how long different question types should take. Many students also benefit from learning when to skip a problem strategically rather than spending too much time stuck on one question.
The best way to pinpoint weaknesses is through a diagnostic practice test—this gives you a baseline and shows exactly which topics or question types are giving you trouble. Common problem areas include algebra, advanced math, passport to advanced math, problem-solving, and data analysis. Once you know your gaps, you can focus your study time strategically instead of reviewing everything. A tutor can help you analyze your practice test results, categorize mistakes, and create a targeted study plan so you're not wasting time on concepts you already know.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure of your approach to problems. Working with a tutor builds confidence through repeated exposure to the actual question formats, consistent practice under timed conditions, and understanding the 'why' behind solutions—not just the answers. As you practice more problems and start seeing patterns, the test becomes less intimidating. Many students also benefit from developing test-day strategies like managing time pressure and knowing when to move on, which reduces panic and improves focus during the actual exam.
Most experts recommend taking at least 4-6 full-length practice tests as part of your SAT Math prep—though more is often better if you have time. These should be spaced throughout your study timeline using real College Board practice tests, not unofficial ones. After each test, you should spend time analyzing not just what you got wrong, but why you made those mistakes and how you can avoid similar errors. A tutor can help you get the most from each practice test by identifying patterns in your mistakes and adjusting your study focus accordingly.
A strong SAT Math tutor should deeply understand both the content and the test itself—knowing which concepts appear most frequently, how questions are worded to trick students, and what the College Board is actually testing. They should be able to explain concepts clearly, adapt their teaching style to how you learn best, and help you develop your own problem-solving strategies rather than just teaching you shortcuts. Look for someone who uses real practice tests, focuses on your specific weak areas, and teaches test-taking strategy alongside content mastery.
Most students benefit from 2-4 months of focused preparation, though this depends on your starting score and target. A typical week might include 2-3 tutoring sessions (about 2-3 hours total), supplemented with independent practice between sessions. You'll want to start with diagnostic testing and concept review, move into timed practice on specific topics, and finish with full-length practice tests taken under timed conditions. A tutor can help you create a personalized timeline and keep you on track, adjusting intensity based on your progress toward your target score.
