I'm currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Business Analytics at Carnegie Mellon University. I've been tutoring since I started high school, focusing on mathematics and writing. Throughout my college career I was employed both privately and by Georgetown University to tutor peers and high school students in the Washington, D.C. area. I worked with students taking classes in all levels of mathematics falling under Algebra, Calculus, Combinatorics, and Problem Solving. Hobbies: art, books, reading, music, writing

Sahibzada

Linear Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects

I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

Zachary

SAT Tutor • +4 Subjects

I am a driven, positive, affirming tutor who is happy to help students in any way he can. I graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College in 2020, and I obtained my Master's in Political Science from the University of Toronto in 2022. In 2016, I received an SAT score of 1550. That year, I also received a 5 on my AP exams in Calculus AB, English Language, U.S. History, and U.S. Government. I am happy to tutor students in mathematics, English, and social sciences (e.g., history, government). I especially enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra. I believe in a practice-based approach in which I take students step-by-step through the concepts at hand. After practicing together with my guidance, the student will soon be able to apply what they have learned on their own.

Elena

Calculus Tutor • +22 Subjects

Currently a second-year law student at the University of Chicago, Elena tackled the LSAT recently enough to remember exactly where the logic games and conditional reasoning trips people up. She teaches Analytical Reasoning by breaking each game into setup diagrams and inference chains, so students stop staring at the board and start eliminating answers with confidence. Her perfect 1600 SAT speaks to her comfort with high-stakes standardized tests, and her 4.9 rating shows that approach translates to her students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Logic Games is often the most intimidating section because it requires both pattern recognition and spatial reasoning under time pressure—skills that don't transfer directly from other academic work. A tutor can break down the diagramming systems that make games manageable, help you recognize game types quickly, and build the muscle memory needed to set up and solve games in under 8-9 minutes each. Many students improve dramatically once they have a consistent, personalized approach rather than trying random strategies.

LSAT Reading Comp requires active annotation and identifying the author's main point and argument structure—not just understanding content. A tutor can teach you how to map passages efficiently, spot common question traps (like answers that are true but don't answer the specific question), and manage the cognitive load of dense passages. The key is learning to read strategically for test purposes, which is very different from how you'd read for pleasure or even for college classes.

Students often miss the distinction between the argument's conclusion and supporting premises, fall for answer choices that sound reasonable but don't match the logical structure, or spend too much time on complex wording. A tutor focuses on teaching you to strip arguments down to their skeleton, identify assumption-based reasoning, and recognize common logical fallacies (like scope shifts or false causation). With targeted practice, you can learn to spot these patterns instantly rather than re-analyzing each argument from scratch.

Timing isn't just about speed—it's about strategic allocation. A tutor helps you identify which question types you should tackle first (usually easier ones to build confidence), which to skip strategically, and how to allocate your 35 minutes per section based on your strengths. For example, if Logic Games is your weakness, you might spend 22 minutes there and 13 on Reading Comp, rather than dividing time equally. Personalized pacing strategies are far more effective than generic "spend X minutes per question" advice.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level. Students starting around 140-150 often see 10-15 point improvements with consistent tutoring, while those already at 160+ may see 3-5 point gains since the questions become significantly harder. The LSAT rewards mastery of patterns and strategy, so students who are willing to do untimed practice and review mistakes thoroughly tend to see the best results. A tutor can help you identify exactly which question types are costing you points and create a focused improvement plan.

Practice tests are essential—they build stamina, reveal your weak areas, and let you experience the actual test format. A tutor should have you take full, timed tests regularly (typically every 1-2 weeks) and then spend most of your tutoring time reviewing mistakes in depth rather than drilling individual questions. The goal is understanding why you got something wrong: Did you misread the question? Miss a logical inference? Run out of time? This diagnostic approach is far more valuable than just practicing more questions.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with question types or uncertainty about your approach. A tutor builds confidence by ensuring you've seen every common question format, have a reliable strategy for each section, and have practiced under realistic timed conditions repeatedly. When you've solved dozens of similar problems successfully, test day feels less like a mystery and more like executing a plan you've already practiced. Tutors also help you develop mental strategies for managing pressure, like knowing when to skip a tough question and return to it later.

A strong LSAT tutor should have a high personal LSAT score (typically 170+), deep familiarity with the test's logic and structure, and experience teaching students across different starting levels. They should be able to explain not just the right answer, but why the wrong answers are traps and what logical principles they violate. Look for someone who stays current with LSAT changes, uses official LSAC materials, and can diagnose your specific weak areas rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Experience with students similar to your situation is also valuable.
