Award-Winning PSAT Tutors
serving Norwich, CT

Ethan's environmental science and public policy background means he's spent years reading data-heavy research and building evidence-based arguments — the exact combination the PSAT tests across its reading, writing, and quantitative sections. With a 36 ACT and 1510 SAT, he knows standardized test architecture inside out, and he's especially sharp on the math side, where students who can interpret graphs and reason through word problems without a calculator pull ahead. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm currently a PhD student in economics at Yale University. I also have a BS in physics and math from Yale. Other subjects I enjoy are history, geography, and philosophy, and I dabble in photography and baking. I enjoy helping people understand tricky concepts and solve challenging problems, academic and otherwise.

I am a senior at the University of New Haven working on a B.S. in Forensic Science-Biology with a Pre-Medical designation who hopes to go to medical school in the future. I am most passionate about biology and chemistry but have a strong personal interest in history, especially topics overlooked in the past study of history. To me, learning is a life long process and leads to the development of a well-rounded individual. Seeing understanding of a difficult topic and creating enthusiasm for learning is what draws me to tutoring.

Tessa's math major at Yale means the PSAT's quantitative sections — Heart of Algebra, Passport to Advanced Math, Problem Solving and Data Analysis — play to her strongest skills, and her 1590 SAT confirms she can execute under timed conditions across every section. What sets her apart on the reading and writing side is her history training: she spends her coursework dissecting primary sources and constructing arguments, which is exactly the muscle the evidence-based reading passages test. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a current MBA student at the Yale School of Management who will also be attending UCLA School of Law post-MBA. I've also enjoyed taking standardized tests and "cracking" their code; so I love getting to continue to work on this with my students.

I am looking to get some more experience tutoring and teaching with the idea of pursuing further academic work in the future.

James studies paleography at Yale — deciphering old manuscripts trains exactly the close-reading instincts the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section rewards when students have to trace an argument through dense, unfamiliar text. His 1590 SAT means the math and writing sections are equally locked in, and he covers everything from Heart of Algebra to grammar-in-context questions with the same precision he brings to reading medieval handwriting. Rated 5.0 by students.

Yale's economics curriculum has Max reading data-dense passages and working through quantitative models daily — both skills that show up constantly on the PSAT's math and evidence-based reading sections. He's particularly sharp on the Heart of Algebra problems and the data-interpretation questions where students need to pull conclusions from tables and graphs without overthinking. His 1580 SAT and 5.0 rating speak for themselves.

Zach's biology training at Yale required the same kind of precise, detail-oriented reading that the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section throws at students — dense passages where one misread phrase changes the correct answer. His 1590 SAT means he's operated at the top of the test the PSAT directly mirrors, and he uses that fluency to teach students how to eliminate wrong answers systematically across both the reading and math sections. Rated 4.9 by students.

Twenty writing prizes before age eighteen means Valerie has an unusual instinct for the PSAT's Writing and Language section — she spots rhetorical weaknesses and grammar-in-context errors the way most people catch typos. Her Classics coursework at UChicago, which requires close reading of dense, argumentative texts daily, translates directly to the evidence-based reading passages where students struggle to pin down an author's central claim. Her 1540 SAT confirms she's navigated the full test architecture the PSAT draws from.

I am a junior at Southern Connecticut State University where I recently transferred to study Exercise Science after completing my first two years at Yale University. I have extensive experience tutoring the SAT/ACT, but my favorite subject to tutor is math. Though it can be a daunting subject for many students, I strive to make math accessible and even enjoyable. In my spare time I enjoy weight training and spoken word poetry.

I am an undergraduate business student at Babson College. For years, I have tutored a variety of subjects from writing to accounting. In high school, I participated in volunteer tutoring through the National Honors Society. Even other involvements, such as coaching the debate team, taught me how to convey information and reach understanding with others. As a college student, I am paid to tutor Accounting and teach entrepreneurship and often find myself running study groups among peers.

I am a rising senior at Wesleyan University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and Latin American Studies. I have extensive experience with Spanish-language coursework and tutoring: I spent a semester one-on-one tutoring a high school student in beginning Spanish, have taken countless university-level Spanish classes, have taken both the Language and Literature AP Spanish tests, and have traveled and lived abroad in Spanish-speaking countries.

I am working with students, I seek to help them achieve a mastery of the subject that will stay with them for the rest of their lives and serve as strong foundation for their future intellectual endeavors. I was fortunate to have many fine teachers and appreciate what their talents helped me achieve. Now I seek to live up to that example and impart that same curiosity and thoughtfulness to the students I am fortunate enough to tutor.

I am a Columbia University graduate who majored in Political Science, Classics and History. I have also spent the last year as an English teacher in Connecticut.

I am a Yale University graduate with professional teaching experience at the college level. I know the SAT Writing and Reading sections like the back of my hand, and I know English, writing, and history as subjects just the same, but what I know most is how stressful and daunting the college admissions process can be. I am most passionate about helping you succeed in your school and test prep endeavors and to do that, I will teach you the test taking methods, study habits and study tricks that work best for you individually. No cookie-cutters tactics, no frustration. I am here to instruct, support, build confidence, encourage, and most of all, to be a patient guide in getting you where you want to be.

I'm a curious person, an avid guitar player, and a dedicated Wikipedia reader. I currently am in the process of learning piano, stock trading, machine learning, and the basics of Python programming. I also like playing video games with friends, reading, listening to (and attempting to make) music, and traveling.

I am always happy to talk about music, composing, Seinfeld, and ice cream.

I am a published novelist and a graduate of one of the most prestigious law schools in California. I have been a staff member on a presidential campaign, and I have been around the world. I am enthusiastic about learning, and about communicating my knowledge. I get along with almost everyone and I have outstanding morals, ethics and values.

I am a PHD student studying environmental science. While my research focus is on microbial ecology, I have broad tutoring experience, ranging from teaching reading and math skills to elementary school students, tutoring middle school students in English and writing, and teaching biology to college students as a course assistant. I tutor in two main areas, literacy skills and biology, and teach from a middle school to GRE level both subject areas. One passionate teacher, who valued hard work over talent, inspired me to become a scientist and I hope that I can be that teacher for another student.

Scoring a 1510 on the SAT means Julia already knows the test family inside and out — and the PSAT rewards the same close-reading and evidence-based reasoning skills at a slightly faster pace. Her background teaching English conversation and grading student writing sharpened her ability to break down the tricky grammar and passage-comparison questions that trip up most PSAT takers. She zeroes in on the specific question types where students lose the most points, from command-of-evidence pairs to no-change answer traps.

I am a Junior at Yale University studying Psychology and Education Studies. I am very passionate about working with kids and pursuing a career in teaching, and my main goal is to help students achieve their full potential!

I am an honors program scholar graduate of Central Connecticut State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and graduated from the University's School of Education. Throughout my time in school and since I graduated, I have tutored countless students of all ages in math in groups and individually. I have also worked in math classrooms alongside teachers assisting the students. I have also worked with students who needed help with their SAT prep. I have experience working with students who are younger and also students who are in college and I greatly enjoy working with any topics within mathematics. My favorite math topics to tutor are pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, but I like to work with all other topics as well. I choose to tutor because I would like to make a difference in the lives of the students I work with and help them, just as others have helped me throughout my school career. Outside of tutoring, I coach soccer and have done so for many years, I like to listen to music, and I enjoy cooking.

I love participating in learning with other people. This is why I have been a high school teacher for 20 years and why I am a tutor now. One of my major skills as a tutor is breaking down skills and concepts into small parts to identify exactly where someone is struggling. I can do this with organization and learning needs, too, not just math and English content. I am also versatile and flexible; I can work on all sorts of content and handle unknown problems. I can teach you how to do that, too. I also have a great deal of experience working with students with special needs. I have been trained in some workshops, but I have only experience, not a license, in this area.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.

I am a lifelong learner, teacher, and researcher in the field of physics. I received a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS in Physics from Rice University. I have four years of physics teaching experience at the University of Michigan, primarily undergraduate laboratory courses with an emphasis on electromagnetism, circuits, waves, optics, and real-world applications of these and other physical phenomena. Many of these courses, including one I helped design, focused on helping non-STEM students master physics concepts that may be difficult to grasp in a standard classroom setting. I have tutored in a variety of subjects since high school, but most recently I have spent several years helping students understand concepts and succeed in coursework throughout a large variety of college-level physics topics, from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity.

I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.

A perfect 1600 on the SAT means Ezra already mastered everything the PSAT tests — the same evidence-based reading questions, the same command-of-evidence traps, the same no-calculator algebra tricks. He breaks the exam into repeatable decision patterns, teaching students to spot distractor answer choices before they become tempting. Rated 4.8 by students.

I am no longer needed.

I am currently a fourth year medical student in Indianapolis. I completed my undergraduate education at Indiana University Bloomington, where I majored in Biology and Spanish. I also completed two minors in Mathematics and Chemistry. While at IU, I worked for the Department of Mathematics and Department of Spanish. I also worked as a Peer Tutor for the IU Athletics Department, tutoring in several subjects including statistics, chemistry, physics, and Spanish. I graduated from college with a 4.0, and I entered medical school shortly thereafter. Since coming to medical school, I have excelled in all of my pre-clinical coursework, and I currently rank in the Top 20% of my class. I feel very comfortable and confident tutoring other students in a variety of subjects from math and science to Spanish. I like to think that the same techniques I have used to excel in all phases of my education can be easily adapted to other students and help you achieve your academic goals, just as I have!

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 am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.

Vivian scored a 1530 on the SAT and a perfect 36 on the ACT, so she's navigated both test architectures the PSAT draws from — a rare double perspective that sharpens her ability to teach the underlying reasoning behind each question type. Her history degree built the close-reading and argumentation skills that the Evidence-Based Reading section rewards, while her extensive standardized test prep background means she can quickly diagnose where a student's timing or strategy falls apart on the Writing and Language section.

I am passionate about helping students with math, science, test prep, and more! As sophomore undergraduate at Brown University studying Mathematics and Biophysics, I am well experienced with many topics. I received a perfect 36 on my ACT, so I am very confident with test taking.
