The SAT Reading section rewards a counterintuitive skill: ignoring what you think the passage means and finding the answer the text directly supports. Will, who scored a 1590 composite and holds a degree in international studies and literature, teaches students to locate textual evidence efficiently...

Dorothy's English degree and 1440 SAT composite ground her approach to the Reading section in literary analysis — she teaches students to treat each passage like a text they'd annotate in a college seminar, marking the author's claim, evidence structure, and tone shifts before ever looking at the qu...

The SAT Reading section isn't really about reading — it's about quickly identifying what the passage is doing and finding the one answer choice supported by specific lines of text. As a screenwriting major at USC who dissects written arguments daily, Kiersten teaches students to read for structure a...

I am a BS/MS student at Columbia University studying Electrical engineering and also following the premed curriculum. After my undergraduate, I hope to pursue an MD-PhD and work in a teaching/research hospital as a physician-engineer.

I'm a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Economics and Computer Science. I was also accepted at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. I have a broad range of interests spanning science, math, engineering, social science, the humanities, the arts, and athletics (I also play...

I am a recent graduate of the University of Virginia living in Los Angeles. While at UVA, I earned a 3.95 GPA and graduated my major program with Highest Distinction. I have eight years of tutoring experience (including starting my own tutoring program) and have worked with students of all ages. I'm...

A self-described linguistics nerd with studies at NYU and a 1570 SAT composite, Naama approaches the Reading section the way a linguist dissects language — tracking how word choice, sentence structure, and rhetorical moves signal an author's real argument. She's especially sharp on the history-docum...

Writing a 50-page epic poem for a senior thesis at Wesleyan meant Ari had to read deeply across genres — geobiology papers, family archives, literary canon — and synthesize them into a single coherent argument, which is essentially what the SAT Reading section tests in miniature on every passage. Th...

I'm an undergraduate at UC Berkeley with two years currently under my belt and the intention to double major in anthropology and biology. My focus is on understanding human biological and social origins through analysis of human artifacts, biological remains, and environmental reconstruction, with a...

Training as an actor at NYU's Atlantic Acting School means Michael spent years doing script analysis — breaking down a writer's intent, subtext, and rhetorical shifts passage by passage, which maps directly onto what the SAT Reading section actually tests. With a 1500 composite, he teaches students ...

Journalism training at NYU teaches you to read like a fact-checker — verifying claims against evidence, catching when a source hedges versus commits, and distinguishing what's stated from what's implied — which is essentially what every SAT Reading question asks. Sarah brings that editorial instinct...

I'm Jerome and I hope I can help in your academic journey. As someone who's received tutoring before, I hope I can help students, not only learn the subject matter, but the study and thinking skills to succeed academically. By learning the skills, you can gain the confidence to pursue other endeavor...

The SAT Reading section rewards a specific kind of discipline: tracking how authors build arguments across paired passages, identifying evidence that actually supports a claim, and resisting the pull of answer choices that sound right but don't hold up. Alexander scored a 1570 SAT and brings the sam...

I am passionate about living life to the fullest and making a difference in the lives of others.

I am willing to invest the amount of time needed to polishing developing writers and students so that they come away with more than just a corrected essay or some more grammar knowledge; I am seeking to help them hear their own voice in their writing and bring that with them to the next step in thei...
