Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
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.

Suzanne
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.
Anya
Middle School Math Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a graduate of the MA Fashion Studies program at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, having previously studied linguistics and foreign languages (concentrating in Russian and French) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and at McGill University in Montreal. I currently serve as adjunct faculty in the Art and Design History and Theory department at Parsons, where I specialize in courses which combine numerous disciplines within the humanities, such as a course about the relationship between fashion and language and a graduate seminar about writing for fashion publications. I have also led elementary summer art camp workshops in my hometown of Los Alamos, New Mexico. My teaching methods, which are interactive, engaging, and tailored to a range of learning styles, have consistently been described by my students as motivational and encouraging. I tutor a wide range of subjects, from Middle School Math to PSAT and SAT test preparation, but I am most passionate about Critical Reading and Writing and Essay Editing. These are areas in which my students make remarkable progress in short periods of time and also find great pleasure in relating the themes of their writing to their own outside interests and passions. I also enjoy helping students prepare to take standardized tests by addressing, in an understanding and accommodating way, the common anxieties and stresses that can accompany test-taking. Outside of school and tutoring, I enjoy traveling, reading, visiting museums, cooking, and snowboarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Most students see meaningful gains of 50-100+ points within 2-3 months of personalized instruction, especially when combined with regular practice. Students who start with weaker fundamentals often see larger percentage improvements, while those already scoring 650+ typically benefit from targeted strategy work on harder problem types. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or data analysis—and building systematic mastery rather than trying to improve everything at once.
Pacing struggles usually stem from two issues: getting stuck on difficult problems or spending too long on setup. Effective strategies include working through easier problems first to build confidence and secure points, then returning to harder ones with the time you have left. Tutors help you recognize which problem types slow you down and practice rapid decision-making—knowing when to skip, when to use approximation instead of exact calculation, and when a calculator will save time. With guided practice on full sections under timed conditions, most students develop intuition for how to allocate their 55 minutes effectively across the 38 questions.
Tutors typically start by reviewing your recent practice test results and having you work through problems while explaining your thinking process. This reveals patterns—like consistently missing questions about quadratic equations or struggling with interpreting charts. They'll also assess whether mistakes come from conceptual gaps (not understanding the math), careless errors, or strategy issues (approaching the problem inefficiently). Once your specific weak areas are clear, tutoring focuses on targeted skill-building in those domains rather than generic test prep, which makes study time much more efficient.
Most students benefit from completing 4-6 full practice tests during their preparation, with tutors helping you interpret results productively. Early tests (before tutoring begins) establish your baseline and identify weak areas. Mid-prep tests measure progress and let you refine strategy. Final practice tests simulate test-day conditions and build confidence. What matters more than sheer quantity is how you use practice tests—reviewing every mistake, understanding why answers are wrong, and adjusting your approach based on patterns. Tutors help you extract maximum learning from each practice test rather than just treating them as dress rehearsals.
SAT Math questions intentionally use unfamiliar formats to test mathematical reasoning rather than memorized procedures. Common challenge areas include grid-in questions (where you enter numeric answers), multi-step word problems, and questions requiring you to interpret charts or real-world scenarios. Tutors help you decode what the question is actually asking beneath the wording, practice the specific format (like understanding grid-in rules), and develop a problem-solving approach that works for similar questions. Repeated exposure to these formats under tutoring guidance removes the confusion factor, leaving you to focus purely on the math.
Test anxiety often peaks during Math because pressure increases when you encounter difficult problems. Effective strategies include starting with problems that build confidence (the easier ones), using breathing techniques when you feel stuck, and having a clear plan for skipping questions that aren't yielding progress. Tutors also help by making harder problem types feel familiar through repeated practice—anxiety decreases significantly when you recognize a question format and know your approach. Taking full-length practice tests under realistic conditions with a tutor's guidance also builds confidence by proving you can handle the test's difficulty and pacing.
The most effective SAT Math tutors combine strong mathematical knowledge with test expertise—they understand not just how to solve problems, but why the SAT asks them and what strategies work best under time pressure. Look for tutors who diagnose your specific weak areas rather than teaching generic test prep, who can explain concepts clearly when you're stuck, and who understand the difference between mathematical rigor and test-taking shortcuts. Equally important is finding someone who adjusts pacing to your learning style, celebrates progress, and builds your confidence in tackling harder problems. Varsity Tutors connects you with vetted tutors who specialize in SAT Math and understand how to help students move from frustrated to confident.
