I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have!

I'm currently a Process Assistant at an Amazon warehouse, which is like an assistant manager. My job is interesting, active, and varied, but I missed tutoring and want to make math and other subjects as easy as possible to approach and grasp for students. With the right time and a commitment to tailoring a tutoring style for the person being assisted, any student can pass their classes and retain lifelong knowledge and experience. I'm looking forward to working with you!
I am currently and MS Economics students at Purdue University as well as a Data Analyst for The Heritage Group. I have experience tutoring graduate-level econometrics and macroeconomics.
I'm fluent in Spanish and proficient in Mandarin. I worked with all the Spanish speaking clients as a paralegal at a law firm and lived in Nanjing China while I studied at Nanjing University. I'm also TEFL certified.
I am a junior at Purdue University studying Aerospace Engineering and am part of the Air Force ROTC program. I have 6 years of tutoring experience at places including Kumon, Mathnasium, and Purdue University. I have worked with kids of all ages from kindergarten to sophomores in college, each with their own set of unique strengths, and tutored a variety of subjects, including calculus, trigonometry, geometry, thermodynamics, chemistry, and physics. Like many of my previous students, I struggled to understand concepts that I was being taught and was a terrible test taker. However, I found ways to overcome my obstacles and develop an better intuition for what I was learning. I believe that it is only this intuition and understanding that helps overcome these obstacles. My least favorite thing to see people be discouraged, so with a little bit of guidance and reassurance, I want to show people that they are capable of anything they put their mind to.
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.
I'm a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Science-Computing--the University's equivalent of the pre-med major, but with additional credits reserved for a few Computer Science electives. While there, tutoring was one of the main activities I was involved in, and I found it deeply fulfilling when I'd see a certain idea suddenly click for my tutees.
Two years teaching math at Mathnasium gave Amy a sharp eye for the specific algebra mistakes students make under pressure — the kind that cost points on the PSAT's no-calculator section, where Heart of Algebra and Passport to Advanced Math problems demand fluency without a graphing calculator as a crutch. Her biochemistry training at Notre Dame also means she's comfortable with the data-interpretation and evidence-based reading passages that pull from scientific contexts. A 1570 SAT confirms she knows the full test architecture the PSAT mirrors.
The PSAT is many students' first high-stakes standardized test, and it doubles as the qualifying exam for National Merit scholarships. Anya approaches it as a teaching opportunity rather than a pressure cooker, walking students through the math and verbal sections with the same patient, diagram-heavy style she refined over five years of classroom instruction.
I am a student at Duke University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with Chemistry and German minors. On campus I am involved in the Bilbo lab, which focuses on neuroimmune interactions in abnormal brain development. I am very passionate about helping others enjoy and learn about various fields in STEM.
I'm a first-year physics major at Butler University, and I tutor because I believe that everyone deserves to have an education tailored to their own personal learning style. I'm especially focused on SAT preparation, where I earned a 1580, and I also tutor AP Calculus AB, AP Economics, AP Physics, AP English Language and Composition, and various other subjects. My tutoring style is interactive and built around questions and guided practice. I like to understand how a student is thinking before jumping in, then help them refine their approach step by step. Sessions are flexible depending on the student's goals, sometimes that means slowing down and building core concepts, and other times it means focusing on efficiency, test strategy, or practice problems. For the SAT in particular, the math section relies on strong fundamentals and careful reading, and the Reading and Writing section is very improvable with targeted grammar practice and familiarity with question patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Students typically see gains of 50-150 points when working with a tutor on targeted strategies and consistent practice over several months. The most significant improvements come from addressing specific weak areas—whether that's reading comprehension pacing, math problem-solving approaches, or writing mechanics—rather than trying to improve everything at once.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand and where you want to go. Your tutor will likely review your practice test scores, discuss which sections feel most challenging, and learn about your goals—whether you're aiming for National Merit recognition or preparing for the SAT. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that targets your specific needs and fits your timeline before test day.
Pacing issues on the reading and writing section often come from spending too much time on difficult questions or second-guessing answers. A tutor can teach you strategic approaches like identifying question types quickly, knowing when to skip and return, and building confidence in your first instinct. Practice with timed drills and full-length tests helps you internalize these strategies so they feel natural on test day.
The PSAT math section rewards both accuracy and efficiency. Key strategies include working backwards from answer choices, using the calculator strategically (not for every problem), and recognizing common question patterns. Many students also benefit from understanding why they missed problems—whether it's a conceptual gap, a careless error, or a timing issue—so your tutor can focus on what actually holds you back.
Most students benefit from taking a full practice test every 2-3 weeks during their preparation period, with lighter practice between tests. This frequency gives you enough time to work on specific skills between tests while still getting regular feedback on your progress. Your tutor can help you analyze each practice test to identify patterns in your mistakes and adjust your study focus accordingly.
Confidence on test day comes from knowing what to expect and having practiced under realistic conditions. Your tutor can help you build familiarity with the test format, teach you breathing and pacing techniques to manage stress, and create a study schedule that prevents last-minute cramming. Regular practice tests in timed settings also help normalize the test experience, making it feel less intimidating when you sit down for the real thing.
Yes. National Merit qualification is based on your PSAT score, and targeted tutoring can help you reach the score threshold for your state. Indiana's cutoff varies by year, but tutors can help you understand what score you're aiming for and create a focused plan to get there. Even if you're close to the threshold, strategic improvements in your weaker sections can make the difference.
