Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors
serving Spokane, WA

Alice earned a 1550 SAT, and her strength in the Math section comes from years of genuine enthusiasm for problem-solving across algebra, geometry, and data analysis. She zeroes in on the specific question styles College Board uses — like multi-step word problems that bury the actual question — and teaches students to decode them systematically before picking up a pencil.

I am expecting to complete my PhD within the year. I offer tutoring for English or AP English classes, and writing assignments for any class at any level, as well as SAT, GRE and GRE Literature preparation.

I am beginning work as a management consultant in the engineering space this summer (2020).

An SAT Math score is often less about what a student knows and more about how quickly they recognize which tool to use — is this a systems problem, a quadratic in disguise, or a ratio setup? Grant, who scored 1530 on the SAT, unpacks the test's recurring question structures so students spend less time deliberating and more time solving.

After earning a 1490 SAT composite, Elizabeth developed a clear sense of which math concepts the College Board tests hardest — linear modeling, quadratic behavior, and ratio reasoning show up far more than students expect. She teaches students to recognize problem types quickly so they spend their time solving, not figuring out what's being asked.

Scoring 1450 on the SAT gave Xiansheng firsthand insight into the exam's structure, especially the way SAT Math layers algebra, data analysis, and passport-to-advanced-math questions with increasing complexity. He breaks down multi-step word problems into recognizable patterns so students stop second-guessing themselves and start finishing sections with time to spare.

Sameer's strength on SAT Math comes from seeing the same core algebra and precalculus concepts from multiple angles — as a UW computer science student, he thinks about functions, systems of equations, and data analysis both abstractly and computationally. He teaches students to recognize which tool a problem is really asking for, whether that's back-solving, graphing mentally, or setting up a quick equation, so they stop burning time on brute-force approaches.

Angela breaks SAT Math into its highest-value skill clusters — linear equations, quadratic behavior, and data analysis — and builds each student's speed by emphasizing algebraic shortcuts over calculator dependence. Her 1500 SAT and quantitative coursework in environmental science give her fluency with the applied math problems that trip up students in the later, harder modules. She holds a 5.0 rating from the students she's worked with.

Running a dual-language tutoring program in Mandarin and English sharpened Antonia's ability to explain math concepts multiple ways — a skill that pays off on SAT Math when a student's first approach to a systems-of-equations or ratio problem isn't clicking. She's tutored math from elementary through test prep and knows how to trace SAT mistakes back to the foundational gaps (especially in fraction operations and proportional reasoning) that quietly cost points across the entire section.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

I'm a biochemistry major at Northeastern University. I love math and science, and like to work with kids and teens on those subjects. I have also worked in an ESL classroom, and am available to help with reading and writing skills. I look forward to working with you!

I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!

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 a lifelong learner, teacher, and researcher in the field of physics. I received a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS in Physics from Rice University. I have four years of physics teaching experience at the University of Michigan, primarily undergraduate laboratory courses with an emphasis on electromagnetism, circuits, waves, optics, and real-world applications of these and other physical phenomena. Many of these courses, including one I helped design, focused on helping non-STEM students master physics concepts that may be difficult to grasp in a standard classroom setting. I have tutored in a variety of subjects since high school, but most recently I have spent several years helping students understand concepts and succeed in coursework throughout a large variety of college-level physics topics, from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity.

Emily's 1590 SAT score speaks for itself, but what makes her effective on SAT Math specifically is how she categorizes problems. She teaches students to distinguish between questions that reward algebraic manipulation and ones where plugging in values or back-solving is faster — a distinction that can recover five or ten minutes on test day. Her Cornell math and CS coursework keeps her sharp on the harder quadratic and function-based problems.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

Katherine scored a 1500 on the SAT and knows the Math section inside out, from the no-calculator portion's emphasis on algebraic manipulation to the calculator section's data-analysis and modeling questions. She digs into the specific concept gaps that cost students points — whether that's systems of equations, quadratic behavior, or tricky word problems involving ratios and percentages. Her approach is to build fluency with the question formats so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar.

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.

Computational biology PhD applicants don't just do math — they build models, interpret data, and stress-test assumptions, which is exactly the mindset Max brings to SAT Math's problem-solving and data-analysis questions. His 1580 SAT means he's already cracked the test at near-ceiling level, and his biology research background makes him especially sharp on the scatterplot, table-reading, and experimental-design problems that feel foreign to students who've only seen math in a textbook. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

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.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.
