Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors
serving Portland, ME

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.

Miranda earned a 1560 SAT composite, which means she tackled the Math section's trickiest territory — passport-to-advanced-math problems involving quadratics, systems, and nonlinear modeling. She teaches students to recognize what each question is actually asking beneath its wording, a skill that turns intimidating multi-step problems into familiar patterns.

Emily's 1590 SAT score speaks for itself, but what makes her effective on SAT Math specifically is how she categorizes problems. She teaches students to distinguish between questions that reward algebraic manipulation and ones where plugging in values or back-solving is faster — a distinction that can recover five or ten minutes on test day. Her Cornell math and CS coursework keeps her sharp on the harder quadratic and function-based problems.

Scoring an 800 on SAT Math means knowing when to use algebra and when a strategic shortcut is faster. Katie earned a perfect 1600 composite and unpacks each problem type — from polynomial functions to coordinate geometry — with an emphasis on the decision-making that saves time under pressure. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.

Between his 1530 SAT and his physics research at Princeton, Dennis lives in the quantitative world the SAT Math section tests — quadratic modeling, systems of equations, data analysis, and advanced algebra. He pinpoints where students lose points, whether it's careless errors on Heart of Algebra questions or conceptual gaps in Passport to Advanced Math. His sessions zero in on the specific question types each student needs to drill.

A perfect 1600 SAT means Lisa didn't just survive the math section — she cleared it without dropping a single point, including the ratio, percentage, and systems-of-equations problems that most students lose easy points on. Her sociology background actually sharpens her SAT Math teaching: she's trained to read data tables and interpret statistical claims critically, which maps directly onto the section's problem-solving and data-analysis questions. She breaks down each problem type into a repeatable decision process so students stop second-guessing themselves under time pressure.

Scoring a 1570 on the SAT, Joey knows the Math section inside and out — from the no-calculator questions that test algebraic fluency to the data-analysis problems that reward careful reading. He teaches students to recognize question patterns and avoid common traps, turning timed practice into a strategic exercise rather than a frantic race.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

Tracy scored 1540 on the SAT and brings an economics-trained eye for data interpretation and problem-solving to every math section strategy. She breaks down topics like quadratic modeling, systems of inequalities, and passport-to-advanced-math questions into repeatable patterns so students stop second-guessing themselves on test day. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

Scoring 1530 on the SAT gave Asta firsthand insight into how the Math section layers algebra, data analysis, and advanced concepts like passport-to-advanced-math quadratics into increasingly tricky contexts. She zeroes in on the specific question types a student struggles with — whether that's systems of equations, percent-change word problems, or interpreting scatterplot data — and builds targeted practice around those gaps.

The SAT Math section rewards students who can read precisely — and Julia's English and linguistics degree makes her unusually good at untangling the deliberately tricky wording the test uses to disguise straightforward algebra and geometry. She scored a perfect 1600 SAT herself and teaches students to treat each problem like a sentence to parse: identify the subject, strip out the filler, and solve what's actually being asked. Rated 5.0 by students.
