Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.
I'm a rising junior at Brown University studying biomedical engineering. I have lots of experience in middle school through college level instruction in STEM and SAT/ACT prep. My goal is to provide a fun and productive learning environment by only teaching subjects that I am passionate about.
I'm a current medical student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine with undergraduate degrees from Washington and Lee in chemical engineering and anthropology. I have extensive experience in tutoring and teaching since 2010, and am ready to help you with your learning needs! I focus on standardized testing (SAT/ACT) and also tutor in a wide range of math, English, and Spanish classes. In my free time, I like to run, do CrossFit, volunteer, and watch TV!
I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.
I am an incoming medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I graduated from Rice University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Medical Humanities and Business.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
I have been tutoring since 2018. I was a math instructor for five years at a math learning center. There I worked with students in grades 1 through college. I particularly love teaching elementary and middle school math as well as Algebra! I am comfortable working with students of all ages and all abilities. In addition to tutoring math, I was a Spanish AT for introductory Spanish courses and also conversational ones. I also volunteered at the local public elementary school weekly to teach Spanish to second graders. The summer between my junior and senior year, I was fortunate enough to intern in Spain and teach English at a bilingual school. I believe every student learns differently, and I am always happy to adapt my teaching methods to best meet each student's individual needs. These methods range include diagrams, drawings, and the socratic method.
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.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am currently studying chemical engineering at the University of Michigan. I have always helped out my fellow students with schoolwork, and I have tutored in the National Honor Society for three years. My tutoring strengths include my abilities to stay calm, be patient, and offer different perspectives on the learning process. I do not just help my students learn the material, but I also teach them how to learn it. I tutor math and test prep courses. Outside of school and tutoring, I play the piano. I have played classical piano for 13 years and jazz piano for 7.
I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!
I'm a Chemical Engineering major at the University of Texas at Austin with a strong passion for teaching. I enjoy helping students in biology, algebra, and chemistry, focusing on building meaningful relationships that make learning engaging and approachable. Teaching not only strengthens my own understanding but also allows me to see the impact of confidence and curiosity in others. Outside of academics, I love staying active through hiking and playing sports like basketball. I also enjoy exploring new food spots, which gives me a chance to connect with different cultures and experiences.

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.
