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.

Julia
11th Grade math Tutor • +41 Subjects
I am a recent college graduate currently pursuing a career in publishing in New York City. My interest in tutoring and the publishing industry stem from the same source: I want to help instill in others the same love of learning I have felt throughout my life. Whether it's getting lost in a good book or feeling the thrill of excitement at finally solving a difficult math problem, I feel that learning should be fun and viewed as a challenge, not a chore. Throughout my academic career, I have been a well-rounded student, excelling in math as well as language and literature. I am a notoriously good test-taker, a skill developed from solid study habits that I hope to pass on to future students. For me, tutoring is my way of giving back to my community and paying forward the help I've gotten from teachers, mentors, and fellow students throughout my life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with your tutor. Most students who work with a tutor see meaningful gains by focusing on their specific weak areas—whether that's reading comprehension, math problem-solving, or test-taking strategy. The key is identifying which sections are holding you back and addressing those systematically through targeted practice and feedback. Realistic expectations matter: tutoring works best when you're committed to regular sessions and practice between meetings.
Pacing is one of the most common obstacles. The SHSAT requires you to work through challenging questions quickly, and many students either rush through problems and make careless mistakes or spend too long on difficult questions and run out of time. A tutor can help you develop strategies for different question types, teach you when to skip and come back later, and build the stamina to maintain focus throughout the full test. Practice with timed sections is essential for overcoming this challenge.
Consistency matters more than cramming. Most students benefit from 2-3 tutoring sessions per week over several months, paired with independent practice between sessions. Start by taking a full practice test to identify your specific weak areas, then focus your study time on those sections. As test day approaches, increase the proportion of timed practice tests to build confidence and refine your pacing strategy. Your tutor can help you create a personalized timeline based on where you're starting and when you're taking the test.
Familiarity reduces anxiety. The more you practice with actual SHSAT question formats and take full-length timed tests, the more comfortable and confident you'll feel on test day. A tutor can help you understand the logic behind questions so you approach them strategically rather than feeling overwhelmed, and they can provide real-time feedback on practice tests to show you're making progress. Building a foundation of solid test-taking strategies—like process of elimination, checking your work, and managing time—also builds confidence.
An effective SHSAT tutor knows the test format inside and out, understands the specific skills being tested in each section, and can diagnose exactly where you're struggling. They teach you not just how to solve problems, but why certain answers are traps and how to avoid them. They're also skilled at teaching test-taking strategy alongside content—helping you manage time, choose when to skip questions, and approach unfamiliar question types with confidence. Most importantly, they adapt their teaching to your learning style and adjust the pace based on what you actually need.
That depends on your individual strengths and weaknesses. Both sections carry equal weight, so ideally you'd develop strong skills in both. Many students find reading comprehension more challenging because it requires both speed and deep understanding of complex passages, while others struggle with the logic and multi-step reasoning in the math section. Take a diagnostic practice test early on to see where you stand, then work with a tutor to prioritize your study time on whichever section needs the most work. You should still maintain practice in your stronger section so you don't lose ground.
Most students benefit from taking at least 5-8 full-length practice tests under timed conditions throughout their study period. Early practice tests help you understand the format and identify weak areas, while later tests help you track progress and build stamina. More important than the number of tests is what you do with them—review every question you missed or struggled with, understand why the correct answer is right, and identify patterns in your mistakes. Your tutor can guide you on when to take practice tests and how to analyze them effectively.
