Gautam: St. Charles tutor

Certified Tutor

I am an experienced academic tutor with a focus in the SAT and ACT. With nearly 2 years of experience tutoring in the SAT, I know the ins and outs of the test as someone who was not initially good at the test but through dedication and a systematic approach raised my score. I have carefully studied the Digital SAT and subdivided all problems, supplemented by relevant problems from the old SAT versions. In English or math, I know exactly how it is tested and the best way to approach it.

I graduated with Molecular Biology and Computer Science degrees from Oregon State University, and have worked as a tutor in a test prep company for 2 years. I am very systematic in academic or physical training and take a step-by-step process for improvement. Through targeted practice, I believe in focusing on areas where students are not as strong.

I scored 1520 and 1550 on the SAT in 2017 and a perfect score on the Math section twice -- before I even started tutoring. I understand that students have a wide variety of learning styles. In the first session, I assess student goals, learning styles, past experiences and scores, and strengths to develop the best approach to improve your score.
