Derek
BA Harvard University
9+ Years Tutoring

The SAT Reading section rewards a specific kind of close reading: tracking how an author builds an argument across paragraphs and identifying what the text actually says versus what it implies. Derek scored a 1550 composite and approaches evidence-based questions with the same logical precision he applies to his CS coursework — isolating the claim, finding the support, eliminating distractors.

Scoring 1530 on the SAT gave Lance firsthand insight into how the Reading section tests inference and evidence-pairing rather than simple comprehension. He teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking — whether it's a main-idea synthesis or a detail-support match — and to eliminate answer choices systematically under time pressure.

Max
MS University of South Carolina • BA New College of Florida
1+ Years Tutoring

The SAT Reading section buries answers in dense passages from history, science, and literature — and most students lose points not because they can't read, but because they don't know how to read strategically under a timer. Max, who scored a 1550 on the SAT and holds a master's in history, teaches students to identify argument structure and evidence relationships before even looking at the answer choices. That approach turns a section many students dread into one of their most consistent performers.

Rodrigo

My tutoring sessions are interactive, patient, and highly personalized. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all methodeach student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to match their individual pace, goals, and learning style. I focus on helping students truly understand the why behind each concept, not just memorize formulas or shortcuts. Together, we work step-by-step through problems, discussing reasoning, strategy, and underlying principles until everything clicks. My goal is to build lasting confidence and clarity. Whether a student is catching up, aiming to excel, or just trying to feel more comfortable with the material, I create a supportive environment where they can ask questions freely, think critically, and stay engaged. I also believe in strong communicationkeeping parents informed and helping students take ownership of their learning. Above all, I want my students to leave each session feeling capable, confident, and genuinely connected to what they're learning.

I am a law student, but I took an unusual route to get there. I used to attend medical school but had a change of heart in my career path. Part of this was due to my political science major (double major with biology) in college as well as a number of Spanish and other courses that I took. Tutoring is something, I feel, that has come naturally to me, even back to my high school days. My goal is to help you learn as much as you can and reach your true potential. I will work hard to make sure that this happens, as long as you put in the work, too! We will work together to tailor your learning experience to your needs.

BA Palm Beach Atlantic University-West Palm Beach
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently studying Medicinal and Biological Chemistry at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida, where I have just finished my sophomore year. After graduation, I hope to attend medical school, and one day become a physician. For over a year, I have been tutoring my peers in chemistry and anatomy & physiology through a peer tutoring program at my university. My favorite subject to tutor is by far chemistry, because it is extremely rewarding to help a student understand a difficult concept and then watch them be able to work though problems and apply those concepts on their own. I believe that students can only succeed if they understand the purpose of what they are learning, so I always make it a point to explain the "why" behind important concepts and ideas. This way, the student can develop a strong foundation of knowledge and can become more confident in their understanding of the subject. In my free time, I enjoy working out, reading exciting novels, and exploring my home city of Miami, Florida.

Dylann
BA University of Miami
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of Miami, where I majored in Psychology and English, with a focus in Creative Writing, and minored in Art. As a student, I was employed through America Reads. I worked individually with a kindergarten classroom of both special needs and neurotypical students, working with each child to develop a program that was both fun and effective in helping them overcome deficits. I tutor in English, literature, writing, math, and test prep at a variety of levels. I am most passionate about literature and writing as they are both hobbies I enjoy, but I also enjoy math because each problem feels like a puzzle to solve. I believe that learning should be engaging and fun, and was grateful to have many educators who helped me develop a strong educational background that has since provided me with many opportunities. I believe it is important to provide children and young adults with learning environments that emphasize the fun of learning, rather than portraying it as an inescapable chore. I try to provide an environment that encourages students to become active learners. In my free time, I enjoy reading all types of books, writing poetry and fiction, scuba diving, and hiking and slogging in the Everglades.

Jairo, who scored a 1480 composite and is preparing for a PhD in social psychology, teaches a line-reference discipline that forces every answer back to specific evidence in the passage, which is especially effective on the inference and purpose questions where students tend to drift into speculation.
