Alexis earned a 32 ACT and a 1470 SAT, so she's no stranger to performing under timed, standardized-test conditions — and she brings that same test-day composure to HSPT prep, where eighth graders need to move through no-calculator math quickly and cleanly. She zeroes in on the mental arithmetic sho...

Justin's 34 ACT proves he can handle timed, no-calculator math under pressure — and his philosophy training at the University of Chicago sharpened the logical sequencing skills that make HSPT quantitative reasoning and number series questions click for eighth graders. He teaches students to approach...

Most eighth graders walking into the HSPT have never taken a timed, no-calculator math test before — so Margot spends early sessions building the mental math fluency that keeps students from freezing on test day. Her own 1470 SAT and experience tutoring everything from middle school math through cal...

Every HSPT Math question — whether it's fractions, algebraic reasoning, or geometric measurement — has to be solved quickly and without a calculator, which means mental math fluency matters as much as conceptual understanding. Michael led Ohio's ARML competition math team in high school, an experien...

The HSPT Math section throws a wide mix at students — arithmetic, basic algebra, and geometry — all under tight time pressure with no calculator. Bridget teaches high school math daily and knows how to drill the mental math shortcuts and estimation strategies that keep students moving through those ...

Elena's test-prep background is rooted in strategic thinking — figuring out which question types a student can answer fastest and where they're losing points unnecessarily. For HSPT Math, she applies that same diagnostic lens to the no-calculator format, drilling number sense and estimation so stude...

Working as an assistant director at a prep school, Moriah has spent years watching eighth graders navigate the specific pitfalls of high school entrance exams — she knows which HSPT Math question types cause the most panic and where students waste time on test day. Her own 1550 SAT confirms she can ...

Arithmetic, algebra, and geometry all show up on the HSPT Math section, often in word-problem form that tests whether students can translate language into equations. Francesca's economics background means she's comfortable connecting math to real-world scenarios — exactly the kind of thinking the HS...

Biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins means Helen does no-calculator math under pressure every day — the same skill eighth graders need when they're staring down the HSPT's timed quantitative and math sections. She zeroes in on the fraction operations, percent reasoning, and number series patterns...

Rithi's 1550 SAT and deep math background — from pre-algebra through competition math and calculus — mean she can instantly diagnose whether an eighth grader's HSPT struggles stem from shaky fraction fundamentals or poor time management under no-calculator conditions. She teaches students to build q...
