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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
Scoring a perfect 1600 on the SAT meant JF left nothing on the table in the math sections, including the tricky passport-to-advanced-math questions involving quadratics, exponentials, and polynomial reasoning. He digs into the specific algebraic shortcuts and number-sense instincts that separate a 750 from an 800, tailoring practice to each student's weak spots.
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.
I am no longer needed.
I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.
Comparative literature might seem unrelated to SAT Math, but Cassandra's 1600 SAT speaks for itself — and her lit-trained habit of close reading turns out to be a real advantage on the section's deliberately tricky word problems, where misreading the setup costs more points than any algebra mistake. She teaches students to slow down on problem translation, locking in what's actually being asked before touching any arithmetic, especially on the ratio and percent questions that bury key details mid-sentence.
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.
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!
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.
Between his 1530 SAT and his physics research at Princeton, Dennis lives in the quantitative world the SAT Math section tests — quadratic modeling, systems of equations, data analysis, and advanced algebra. He pinpoints where students lose points, whether it's careless errors on Heart of Algebra questions or conceptual gaps in Passport to Advanced Math. His sessions zero in on the specific question types each student needs to drill.
