Perry
Certified SAT Tutor
Perry
BA Rice University
4+ Years Tutoring

Perry's dual science degrees from Rice University built the exact quantitative reasoning and data interpretation skills that dominate the SAT Math section, while his medical humanities minor sharpened the close-reading habits needed for Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. He scored a 1570 on the SAT and knows which algebra shortcuts and passage-analysis techniques make the biggest difference under time pressure. Rated 5.0 by students.

Vansh
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 1520 on the SAT takes more than content knowledge — it requires knowing when to slow down on tricky evidence-based reading questions and when to trust your instincts on the math no-calculator section. Vansh pairs that firsthand experience with an aerospace engineering background at Georgia Tech, which means the quantitative reasoning and data analysis portions are second nature to him. Rated 5.0 by students, he breaks each section into repeatable strategies that make test day feel predictable.

Viraj
BA University of Miami • Doctor of Medicine, Biology, General University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
7+ Years Tutoring

Six years of SAT prep at the Boys and Girls Club means Viraj has seen nearly every way a student can lose points — and built targeted strategies for each section to prevent it. His own 1560 composite came from the same systematic approach he teaches: breaking down Reading passages by argument structure, tackling Writing questions with grammar pattern recognition, and using back-solving techniques in Math to save time. He's currently a second-year medical student at the University of Miami, but standardized test strategy remains one of his longest-running specialties.

Joshitha
BA Johns Hopkins University
4+ Years Tutoring

Chemical engineering coursework at Johns Hopkins means Joshitha lives in the kind of quantitative problem-solving the SAT Math section demands — from algebraic modeling to data interpretation under time pressure. But her 1580 composite also signals serious verbal chops: she teaches students to spot the structural logic behind evidence-based reading questions and grammar traps on the Writing section, not just guess by feel. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ari
BA Columbia University in the City of New York
8+ Years Tutoring

A 1550 SAT scorer, Ari breaks the exam into learnable systems — from identifying trap answers in Evidence-Based Reading to recognizing the handful of grammar rules that account for most Writing section questions. His dual background in philosophy and economics at Columbia means he's equally sharp on the logical reasoning behind reading passages and the quantitative problem-solving the Math section demands. He also spent the past year tutoring English and math near campus, so he knows how to translate test strategy into language that actually sticks.

Lance
BA University of Miami • Doctor of Medicine, Community Health and Preventive Medicine University of Miami
9+ Years Tutoring

What separates a 1400 from a 1530 on the SAT often comes down to avoiding the traps you don't realize you're falling into — and Lance, who scored a 1530 himself, knows exactly where those traps sit in both the math and verbal sections. His triple-major background in mathematics, computer science, and chemistry means the quantitative reasoning side is automatic, freeing him to spend most of his prep time on the reading and writing strategies that push scores from good to great. Years of leading classes independently as a TA also trained him to explain concepts multiple ways until the right one clicks.

Michael
BFA NYU Shanghai
9+ Years Tutoring

What sets Michael apart for SAT prep is genuine fluency across both halves of the exam — his Fine Arts and Global Studies background built the close-reading and analytical writing skills that drive the verbal sections, while a 1590 SAT score confirms he's equally sharp on the math side. He teaches students to spot the recurring grammar traps in Writing & Language and to translate word problems into clean algebraic setups, connecting both skills into a unified test-day strategy.

Derek
BA Harvard University
9+ Years Tutoring

Harvard's CS and Applied Math curriculum trains exactly the kind of structured problem-solving that the SAT rewards — and Derek applies that mindset across both sections, from algebraic modeling and data analysis on the Math side to logical elimination on Evidence-Based Reading questions. He scored a 1550 and knows where high-scorers still leave points on the table, particularly on no-calculator algebra traps and command-of-evidence pairs. Rated 4.9 by students.

Priya
BA University of Central Florida
6+ Years Tutoring

The Burnett Medical Scholars Program at UCF demands the same kind of disciplined, high-stakes test performance that Priya now teaches for the SAT — she scored a 1500 and knows how to turn content knowledge into points under time pressure. Her science-heavy coursework in biotechnology gives her a natural advantage on the math and data-interpretation questions, while her breadth across literature and essay editing means the Reading and Writing sections get equal attention. Rated 4.8 by students.

Veena
BA University of Miami
9+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 1550 on the SAT takes more than content knowledge — it takes knowing which wrong-answer traps the College Board loves to set and how to manage pacing across reading, writing, and math sections. Veena's science background sharpens her approach to the evidence-based reading questions, where she teaches students to treat passages like data and eliminate answers that aren't directly supported. Rated 5.0 by students, she brings the same precision to math strategy, especially on the no-calculator section where algebraic fluency matters most.

Max
MS University of South Carolina • BA New College of Florida
1+ Years Tutoring

Most SAT points are lost not to hard questions but to predictable traps — and Max teaches students to spot those traps by drilling the specific patterns that repeat across both the Math and Reading sections. His 1550 SAT score came from treating the test as a strategy game, and his history teaching background means he's especially sharp at coaching students through the evidence-based reading questions where argument structure matters more than speed. Rated 4.7 by students.

Anthony
MS Florida International University • BA University of Miami
1+ Years Tutoring

Most SAT prep treats math and verbal as two separate worlds, but Anthony's dual master's in math education and his philosophy training let him teach the whole exam as one connected reasoning exercise — algebraic problem-solving and evidence-based reading both come down to eliminating what doesn't follow logically. He scored a 1430 on the SAT himself and builds each session around the specific question types a student keeps missing, whether that's passport-to-advanced-math problems or command-of-evidence pairs. His state teaching certification means he knows how to structure a study plan that actually holds up under test-day pressure.
