Helping students has always felt deeply personal to me. I know what it's like to struggle with a subject and how much of a difference the right guidance can make. That's what drives me, not just to explain the material, but to meet students where they are, and help them build confidence along the way. My teaching philosophy is centered around a low-pressure, high-engagement environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. I use real-world examples, visual breakdowns, and active recall to reinforce understanding and make learning stick. I'm currently in my 4th year of medical school, so I have a certain love for Biology and other life sciences. It can be complex, but when taught the right way, it becomes incredibly intuitive and logical. I also thoroughly enjoy teaching SAT/ACT prep, as it also can be tricky for students to see through its complexity, but becomes much easier to find the objective when taught the right way, with the right tools.

Upon graduation from New York University (Philosophy), I taught the verbal section of the MCAT to prospective medical students in my home state of Virginia, after which I moved to New Orleans to teach Middle School Math and Science in low-income communities as an AmeriCorps member. I now tutor a broad range of subjects, specializing in standardized admissions tests through graduate levels. I am a firm proponent of education and its role in a fulfilling life. I try to impart this perspective to all of my students. Let's get to work!
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
Medical school at Baylor means Michelle solves quantitative problems under brutal time constraints every day — and her 1570 SAT proves she's already mastered doing exactly that on the test her students are preparing for. She zeroes in on the algebraic modeling and geometry questions where a biochemistry background actually helps, teaching students to treat each problem like a lab setup: identify the variables, find the relationship, then solve cleanly without second-guessing.
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 recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.
Kevin earned a 1550 SAT alongside his 36 ACT, so he knows exactly where the two math sections diverge — the SAT leans harder into multi-step word problems, data interpretation, and algebraic reasoning that rewards setting up equations carefully over grinding through calculations. He breaks down the no-calculator section's trickiest question types, like systems of equations and quadratic modeling, into repeatable strategies. His engineering training at Case Western Reserve keeps him sharp on every concept the test covers.
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.
Getting past 700 on SAT Math usually comes down to a handful of concept areas: advanced function behavior, systems of equations with no solution, and data analysis questions that blend statistics with algebra. Rhea earned a 1550 SAT and pinpoints exactly which of these areas are costing a student points, then drills those gaps with real College Board problems rather than generic practice sets. Her biology and pre-med coursework at UChicago keeps her math skills sharp through daily quantitative work.
Finance and statistics coursework at NYU means Dennis spends his days building models around the same quantitative reasoning the SAT Math section tests — probability, linear relationships, and interpreting data from tables and graphs. His 1550 SAT score came partly from treating the no-calculator questions as logic puzzles rather than computation drills, an approach he now teaches by walking students through how to eliminate answer choices using number properties before ever picking up a pencil.
Scoring high on SAT Math requires knowing when a problem wants algebra and when it wants a shortcut — and the difference often hides in how the question is worded. Nikhil earned a 1540 SAT and an engineering degree, so he teaches students to read each problem strategically, especially on the no-calculator section where efficiency matters most.
Heart-of-algebra questions, passport-to-advanced-math problems, and data analysis — the SAT Math section tests a specific slice of math, and Chloe knows exactly which slice. She scored 1540 on the SAT and teaches students to recognize the handful of recurring problem structures the College Board relies on, turning unfamiliar-looking questions into ones they've already practiced.
Comparative literature might seem unrelated to SAT Math, but Cassandra's 1600 SAT speaks for itself — and her lit-trained habit of close reading turns out to be a real advantage on the section's deliberately tricky word problems, where misreading the setup costs more points than any algebra mistake. She teaches students to slow down on problem translation, locking in what's actually being asked before touching any arithmetic, especially on the ratio and percent questions that bury key details mid-sentence.
I am in the process of selecting a masters program in education that will begin this summer. I have 2 years experience doing 1 on 1 tutoring and it is very effective compared to classroom teaching because there is only one student to focus on. I look forward to working with you and helping you or your child get better. Always remember, even the best of us need help and support from others to be successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see gains of 50-150 points over 2-3 months of consistent practice. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking pacing—and targeting those through personalized instruction and practice tests. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can diagnose exactly where you're losing points and create a focused study plan.
Many students struggle with pacing because the SAT Math section requires both accuracy and speed—you have about 1.5 minutes per question on average. The challenge isn't just solving problems correctly; it's recognizing which questions to tackle first, which to skip strategically, and how to manage anxiety when time pressure builds. A tutor can teach you proven timing strategies, help you identify your fastest problem types, and build confidence through timed practice tests.
The best way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then analyze which question types and topics you missed most. The SAT Math section covers algebra, advanced math, problem-solving, data analysis, geometry, and trigonometry—and most students have 1-2 areas where they consistently lose points. When you connect with a tutor through Varsity Tutors, they'll review your practice test results to pinpoint exactly where to focus, rather than wasting time on topics you've already mastered.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about question formats—but personalized tutoring builds both competence and confidence. When you work through realistic practice problems with a tutor, solve challenging questions under timed conditions, and develop a clear strategy for test day, the anxiety naturally decreases. Tutors also teach specific techniques like the "read-pause-solve" method to help you stay calm when you encounter a tricky problem.
The SAT Math section includes multiple-choice questions, student-produced response questions (grid-ins where you enter your own answer), and questions that may have multiple correct answers. Each format has its own strategy—for example, grid-in questions require careful attention to decimal placement and rounding, while multiple-choice lets you use process-of-elimination. A tutor can walk you through the specific strategies for each format and give you targeted practice so you're not caught off-guard on test day.
Most students benefit from 2-4 months of focused preparation, with 3-5 hours of study per week, though your timeline depends on your starting score and target score. If you're aiming for significant improvement, starting earlier gives you time to master weak topics and take multiple practice tests. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can create a realistic study schedule tailored to your timeline and goals, keeping you on track without overwhelming yourself.
Taking 4-6 full-length practice tests under timed conditions is ideal—this gives you enough data to identify patterns in your mistakes and build test-day stamina. After each practice test, the real learning happens during review: analyzing why you got questions wrong, understanding the concepts you missed, and adjusting your strategy. A tutor can guide your practice test selection, help you review results efficiently, and ensure you're not just taking tests but actually learning from them.
Your first session typically focuses on assessment and planning. The tutor will review your practice test scores, discuss your target score and timeline, and identify your strongest and weakest areas. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of what to focus on and a personalized study plan—so you can start making progress immediately. Most students find that having an expert guide their preparation saves them months of unfocused studying.
