Award-Winning PSAT Tutors
serving Boston, MA

I am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school as well. I have been fortunate to have already been accepted into a couple of schools. I would love to help you prepare for the MCATs and get a head start on your medical school application. I think this one-on-one tutoring model can be a powerful study method in preparing you for success in both the classroom and on standardized tests. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, running, playing board games, and performing/learning magic tricks!

Carnegie Mellon's Creative Writing program trained Sydney to dissect how authors construct arguments and manipulate language — the same skill set the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections test on every question. With a perfect 1600 SAT, she knows the test architecture the PSAT mirrors inside out, and she's especially sharp on the grammar-in-context problems where students need to hear why one phrasing works better than another. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am current student at Harvard Medical School. I attended Vassar College as an undergraduate where I studied Science, Technology and Society. I am a patient teacher and eager to work with students of all ages.

Scoring 1560 on the SAT means Maedeh already dominated the material the PSAT draws from — the same evidence-based reading passages, command-of-evidence questions, and no-calculator math traps that trip up most sophomores and juniors. She breaks the PSAT into a timing game, teaching students to identify which question types to attack first and where the College Board hides its most common wrong-answer patterns. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelors of Arts in English and Philosophy. At Notre Dame, I worked as a tutor at the University Writing Center, helping both undergraduate and graduate students with their writing. I also tutored local middle school students in reading and writing to prepare them for standardized tests. I had the opportunity to live in Spain for 6 months, where I became fluent in Spanish and developed a love for tutoring English language learners. Since graduation, I have worked with students at Midtown Educational Foundation and other extracurricular programs, and am currently pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching English. I tutor a wide range of subjects, although I am most passionate about English, Spanish, and Writing. I am an advocate of student-centered tutoring, and my goal is to support and guide students so that they have the satisfaction and confidence of knowing how to think through a problem and reach the correct answer. In my free time, I love to bake, read, play soccer, and act in plays.

Test anxiety derails more PSAT scores than weak math or reading skills ever do — and Kerry, with a master's in professional psychology and a 1500 SAT score, tackles both sides of that equation. She teaches the timing strategies and evidence-based reading techniques the PSAT demands while also coaching students through the focus and stress-management habits that let those skills actually show up on test day.

I am a current undergraduate student at Northeastern University working towards a pharmacy degree, while minoring in Biology and Chinese. I first started tutoring in high school through peer tutoring, working with students younger than me and tutoring them in subjects that I had excelled in. Besides helping them in purely academic subjects like Chemistry or Math, I also gave them tips to study better and other organizational skills, which help in daily life as well. I really enjoy working with students and working with them towards their goals, both academically and personally. I believe anyone can succeed as long as they are interested and are willing to put in the time and effort. When I work with students, I try to break down different problems into smaller chunks, and work through these smaller bits to understand the big picture. I know how frustrating it is to not understand something, and I try to work with each student to figure out their strengths and weaknesses. I think the most rewarding thing is when you see the student go "aha!" and understand something they have been struggling with, it really gives both of you a feeling of satisfaction and relief. Outside of school, I like to do ballroom dancing while drinking way too much coffee.

Having developed standardized test prep curricula and coordinated college admissions seminars for underrepresented students, Noel knows which PSAT question types consistently trip students up — particularly the Writing and Language items that test grammar rules only in the context of full passages. His public policy training at the University of Chicago sharpened the kind of evidence-based reasoning the reading section rewards, and his 1550 SAT confirms he's mastered the test architecture the PSAT mirrors. Rated 4.9 by students.

Scoring a 1560 on the SAT means Priyanka already mastered the skills the PSAT tests — evidence-based reading, command of evidence questions, and the no-calculator math section that trips up so many students. She breaks down each section's timing strategy separately, since the PSAT's shorter format punishes hesitation even more than the SAT does. Her science-heavy coursework also gives her an edge teaching the data interpretation passages that increasingly appear in both the Reading and Writing sections.

I'm passionate about a wide range of subjects, I particularly love tutoring writing and anything that requires analytical reasoning.

I am currently majoring in Biomedical Engineering at Boston University, under the Presidential Scholars Distinction Program. My hobbies include playing sports such as Soccer, Basketball, Football, Tennis and Track and Field. I also love playing the guitar in my spare time and love spending time with my family and friends. Further, I love learning about new cultures and languages; I am able to speak three languages fluently.

I am currently working on my PhD in English Literature at Southern Methodist University. I specialize in the intersection between ancient texts and Christianity as it is evident in Renaissance literature. During my MA I worked as a teacher's assistant, learning teaching strategies from many distinguished professors. Students met with me one on one to discuss assignments, work on papers, and review for tests. During these years I had the opportunity to work with several ESL students and students with disabilities. Being deaf in my right ear gives me a unique perspective when working with students struggling with disabilities because I have fought those battles myself, albeit to a smaller degree than some. I firmly believe that disabilities should never stand in the way of learning.

Scoring a 1540 on the SAT means Marisa already dominated the content the PSAT tests — evidence-based reading, command of evidence questions, and the grammar rules that drive the Writing and Language section. As a Writing major at MIT, she brings particular strength to the reading-heavy portions where students need to parse dense passages quickly and identify an author's central argument. She breaks the test into repeatable strategies so students build confidence before the real thing.

I am an undergraduate student at Boston University studying in the Seven Year Liberal Arts/Medical Education Program (BSMD). I was a National AP Scholar, US Presidential Scholar Nominee, and in the top 5% of my class. Additionally, I worked as an intern in a graduate-level biochemistry lab researching the metabolically reversed reduction of aldehydes to alcohols.

Katharine's biochemistry degree means she's spent years reading dense scientific passages and interpreting data tables — the same skills the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section tests when it throws unfamiliar science and social science passages at students under time pressure. Her 1550 SAT confirms she's already conquered the test architecture the PSAT is built from, and her comfort across both math and verbal lets her pinpoint whether a student's weak spots are in Heart of Algebra or command-of-evidence questions.

I am confident that I can help ease the process for other students and even make it fun along the way!

I am also a fan of Super Smash Bros. Melee if you're into that.

I am a college student looking to help fellow students who are in middle school through high school get to the next stages of their lives. School can get rough, and having someone there to help with any particular subjects or go over and review topics is helpful, and I want to be a part of that process.

I am a recent graduate from Emerson College. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing with a focus on fiction. In addition, I minored in psychology and photography. I am experienced in academic and personal essay writing as well as fiction and poetry.

Greetings, my name is Karthik! I studied at Northeastern University and earned a BS in math and physics, and I started tutoring formally in undergrad via a mix of online tutoring and university sponsored peer tutoring later taking on responsibilities as a student grader and TA. But well before I started formal tutoring, it was not uncommon for peers to remark that I explained things better than our teachers. While at first I was prone to lecturing due to my assumption that others found theory as elucidating as I did, my sessions are now dominated by working through problems provided by either the student or me. Also software visualization is a boon whenever my drawing skills don't pass muster. Ultimately, my purpose is to cultivate disciplined learning and excellence in STEM, whether that be for a class or purely out of curiosity/passion, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you think I can help you achieve your goals.

I'm majoring in Computer Science and Biology at Northeastern University, I like to dance, and my main goal is to help you achieve your goals.

I'm a patient and results-driven Computer Science student at Northeastern University with years of experience tutoring students in math and computer science. I specialize in breaking down complex topics, such as calculus, algebra, geometry, and programming, into manageable, step-by-step lessons that meet each student's unique learning style. My goal is to not only help students improve their grades but also build confidence in their academic abilities. Whether you're preparing for an exam or need help staying on top of your classwork, I'm here to support your success.

I am excited to return to this work during my upcoming senior year.

I am a freshman at Northeastern University. I am currently studying Psychology on a Pre-Med track. Even though my studies are heavily science-based, I enjoy all other subjects, as well. I tutored in high school as Vice-President of the National Honor Society and I am looking forward to continuing my passion for helping others through tutoring.

I am very dedicated to being patient and working with each student to make sure they understand what they are doing and so they are able to be less stressed. I have been tutoring math for many years and am looking forward to meeting you and/or your student. (Just a heads up - I recently got a hair cut so my photo doesn't reflect my current hairstyle)

Patrick's PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology means he's spent years reading dense scientific literature and interpreting complex data sets — the same skills the PSAT's evidence-based reading passages and data-heavy math questions demand. He zeroes in on the quantitative reasoning sections, where students who can translate word problems into algebraic setups without a calculator gain the biggest advantage. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am willing to tutor in specific topics tested there as well (all the topics mentioned above, but also Physics, and psychology and sociology).

I am a very outgoing and friendly person, which translates well to working with students. I do my best to understand where the student is coming from and work from there. Currently, I am a student at Northeastern University, but I also work with people with disabilities in a marketing setting. I can tutor Math, Science and English, and I would love to help you anyway that I can!

I am a tutor who primarily operates with math and science. I am currently a freshman at Northeastern University, majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience. I have been a tutor for about two years, tutoring in an eclectic range of subjects in the math and sciences field. Please feel free to contact me if you would like. I look forward to working with you!

I'm currently a graduate student at Boston University getting my master's in Mathematics Secondary Education. I did my undergrad at West Virginia University, where I majored in History and minored in German and Math.

I am a research engineer and have 5 years of work experience as an engineer. In addition, I have worked with students throughout high school, college and post-college as a tutor. While I tutor a variety of math and science subjects, I prefer to tutor math. Algebra has always been my favorite subject with chemistry as my second favorite and is what I am most passionate about. I find that it is easiest for students to understand the subject when it is related to something they are interested in outside of the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, especially soccer, as well as reading and occasionally running. I am also an avid NY Giants fan.

A perfect 1600 on the SAT means Cassandra already mastered every skill the PSAT tests — evidence-based reading, command of evidence questions, and the grammar conventions that drive the Writing and Language section. Her comparative literature background is especially useful for the reading passages, where she teaches students to quickly identify argument structure and author's purpose under tight time constraints.

I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.

I am available for support, remind the student of her resources, and reconnect the student with long-term goals.

I am a certified elementary and ESL teacher committed to my students and their learning. I am passionate about teaching and love finding new ways to help my students.

Cindy's English coursework at Harvard sharpens the exact close-reading and grammar-in-context skills the PSAT's Writing and Language section demands, while her 1580 SAT and 36 ACT prove she can execute under timed pressure across every section — math included. She zeroes in on the rhetorical strategy questions that most students rush past, teaching how to read for argument structure rather than just content.

Rob's triple major in English, Philosophy, and History means he's spent years doing exactly what the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections demand — dismantling arguments, evaluating evidence, and catching subtle errors in how ideas are structured on the page. His 1580 SAT confirms he executes under timed pressure across both verbal and quantitative sections, and his philosophy training makes him especially sharp on the logical reasoning embedded in command-of-evidence questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a current sophomore at Tufts pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Physics, both of which I draw from in my tutoring philosophy. While I am a firm believer that each student requires a strategy specifically tailored to them, I have found that there are a few general strategies that students respond well to. I make it a point to ensure that students understand the conceptual jump from material they are comfortable with to the material they are currently learning. This makes it possible for them to both understand the material on a deeper as well as have a better idea of the direction they are going. I also subscribe to the theory that a relaxed environment is critical for a students learning, so I prioritize creating this environment in my tutoring sessions. Outside of academia, I am passionate about playing/performing/composing music (singing, piano guitar etc) and am a member of both the Ballroom Dance Team and the Table Tennis Club at Tufts.

I am an undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have tutored students since my early high school years. I've had experience instructing and guiding a variety of students, from young middle schoolers taking their first steps into the world of computer programming to my own peers struggling with their calculus exams. Over the past year alone, I've worked with over 30 students, spending several hours each day to help them stay up to speed on their schoolwork. I specialize in many areas of math as well as computer science, biology and physics. When tutoring students, I draw on my own experience with learning the material to identify and address the obstacles they face. I believe that promoting a deeper level of understanding of the subject, as opposed to merely teaching to the test or problem set, will enable students to excel in the long-term.

I am currently a Nursing student at St. Joseph School of Nursing in Nashua NH. I studied Biomedical Sciences with a major in Medicine from the University of Buea in Cameroon, West Africa. I travelled around Cameroon, working for a non-governmental organization called "Let Children Learn" tutoring students in rural areas of the country. These included students who could not afford to go to school and worked on their own in small groups in order to achieve their educational goals. Since moving to the United States, I have also had the opportunity to work with students in my school as a tutor. This has offered me a wide diversity as I have worked with students from several countries and from different backgrounds. Because I come from a bilingual country, I am fluent in French and English, and I am passionate about science and math. I strongly believe that hard work and determination can lead any student to achieve success. I enjoy playing soccer, table tennis, football, and I also love singing.
