BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

I'm a junior at Yale University pursuing a double major in Linguistics and Theater. I have experience tutoring in a variety of subjects, but I'm particularly excited to help students with writing, critical reading, and SAT or ACT preparation. I had a strong support network of teachers and mentors throughout middle and high school, so I understand firsthand the importance of thoughtful, individualized educational enrichment. I seek to meet each student where they are in order to help them reach their greatest potential! When I'm not tutoring, you might find me performing improv comedy, playing saxophone, or trying to write the next great American musical.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Liz
MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

ISAT reading comprehension requires students to identify main ideas, analyze text structure, and make inferences across passages—skills that go beyond simple recall. Many students struggle with distinguishing between explicit details and implicit meanings, especially when passages contain complex vocabulary or unfamiliar topics. Tutors help students develop annotation strategies, practice active reading techniques, and learn to recognize question patterns that test deeper understanding rather than surface-level facts.

ISAT math timing challenges often stem from students attempting every problem with equal effort rather than prioritizing by difficulty. Effective tutoring focuses on teaching students to quickly identify which problems are worth spending time on, recognize common problem types, and use estimation or elimination strategies to move through sections efficiently. Practice with timed drills and full-length tests helps students calibrate their pace while maintaining accuracy on problems they can solve confidently.

ISAT writing sections emphasize sentence structure, pronoun-antecedent agreement, verb tense consistency, and punctuation in context—not memorized grammar rules. Students often miss these questions because they rely on "what sounds right" rather than understanding the underlying conventions. Tutors help students develop systematic approaches to identifying errors by focusing on the most commonly tested concepts and teaching students to recognize patterns in how ISAT presents grammar challenges within actual passages.

Test anxiety on ISAT often peaks when students encounter unfamiliar question formats or feel unprepared for timing demands. Building confidence through repeated exposure to authentic ISAT questions, practice tests under timed conditions, and mastering specific strategies reduces anxiety significantly. Tutors also help students develop mental frameworks for handling difficult questions—like knowing when to skip and return, or how to use process of elimination—so they feel more in control during the actual test.

Effective ISAT tutoring begins with diagnostic assessment to pinpoint whether a student struggles with specific content (like algebra or literary analysis) or with test-taking skills (like pacing or understanding question formats). Tutors analyze patterns across practice tests to distinguish between careless errors and conceptual gaps, then create targeted practice plans. This focused approach ensures tutoring time addresses the actual obstacles preventing score improvement rather than broad review of material the student already understands.

Full-length ISAT practice tests reveal how students perform under actual testing conditions—including stamina, pacing, and mental fatigue—which shorter practice sets cannot replicate. They also help students become familiar with the exact question formats, passage types, and time constraints they'll face, reducing test-day surprises. Tutors use practice test results to identify patterns in errors and adjust instruction accordingly, making them invaluable diagnostic tools rather than just confidence builders.

Score improvements depend heavily on starting point and effort—students with significant gaps may see larger gains initially, while those already scoring at proficient levels typically see more modest improvements. Most students working with a tutor consistently see measurable progress within 4-6 weeks, though substantial improvements (50+ points) usually require sustained effort over several months. The key is identifying specific weak areas and practicing them strategically rather than hoping for across-the-board gains.

Effective ISAT tutors understand the test's structure deeply—including how different question types are designed to assess skills—and can explain not just correct answers but why wrong answers are traps. They should have strong backgrounds in the content areas tested (reading, writing, and math) and experience teaching test-taking strategies specific to ISAT's format. Most importantly, they can diagnose whether a student's struggles stem from content gaps or test-taking skills, and adjust instruction accordingly.
