I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

I am a patient, intellectual, and calm college student at the University of Michigan passionate about tutoring others to improve their proficiency in a wide variety of subjects. I teach students by creating individualized plans that cater to the strengths and weaknesses of the student. I work hard and as long as it takes to ensure that the student derives maximum benefit. I love teaching a wide variety of subjects, and have a speciality in standardized tests.

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'm a college student attending the University of Michigan and I'm majoring in chemistry and computer science. I have two years of extensive experience tutoring high schoolers in chemistry and all subjects of the SAT and ACT. I can also say that I understand completely how difficult the process of test prep and high school chemistry can be because I recently survived the whole process myself having taken IB chem and the ACT/SAT in the last 1-2 years and studying and prepping extensively for them. That being said, I'm always super eager not just to tutor students in those subjects, but also to offer the best advice and guidance I can in tackling those challenges as a high schooler and as someone planning for college. I believe it's super important as a tutor not just to spoon-feed answers but to teach how to problem-solve, so I take care to solidify our understanding of the methods to approach a problem. Most of all, I try to be as flexible and communicative as possible.

I am a current student enrolled at the University of Michigan pursuing a bachelor's of science in aerospace engineering. I am passionate about teaching science and math to children of all ages, but I can also assist with reading and english comprehension. My experience includes tutoring reading and math with P.A.A.S.N of Novi, along with private tutoring of SAT and ACT subjects. I have worked with a range of students from the first grade all the way through high school. I want my students to gain the most during our sessions while learning at a pace appropriate for their specific skillset. I encourage my students to push themselves to be exceptional.

I am a chemistry/math tutor with hundreds of hours teaching both subjects. What separates me from other tutors is my fantastic attention to the learning styles of different students, and my ability to attune my teaching style to each individual student. I am a big believer in letting students utilize tutoring time in the way they believe best, and I try to make myself a resource more than an instructor, which reinforces good study habits as well as lets me help the student with subject material. I will be attending the University of Michigan to major in Mathematics in the Fall.

A 1500 out of 1520 on the PSAT earned Krisha National Merit Finalist status, so she knows exactly how the test's scoring and question design differ from the full SAT — particularly the tighter math timing and the evidence-based reading pairs that trip up strong students. She breaks down each section's strategy individually, from no-calculator algebra shortcuts to command-of-evidence questions in the Writing section. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a recently accepted medical student at the University of Cincinnati. I previously worked as a high school science teacher in Pasadena, Texas for 2 years. I specifically taught 9th grade biology and 10th grade chemistry to over 300 high schoolers. As a classroom teacher, I utilized strategies to create collaborative classroom environments where each student achieved maximal success and learning. I also utilized a variety of differentiated teaching strategies to make this possible. As a teacher, I also had numerous opportunities to tutor students and help them master concepts after class.

Studying Environmental Engineering at Yale means Megan lives in the overlap between quantitative problem-solving and dense reading comprehension — the exact combination the PSAT tests across every section. She scored 1570 on the SAT and uses that familiarity with the test architecture to teach students how to handle the no-calculator algebra questions and evidence-based passage work without burning time on second-guessing. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a 1560 on the SAT means Anusha already owned the material the PSAT tests — the same evidence-based reading passages, the same no-calculator algebra traps, the same command-of-evidence questions. She breaks the exam into repeatable patterns, teaching students to spot answer structures in reading passages and avoid the careless arithmetic errors that cost easy points on math. Her cognitive science background also gives her practical strategies for pacing and focus under timed conditions.

I am currently a student at Columbia University studying Biomedical Engineering. Throughout high school, I tutored my peers in math, science, and standardized testing and found that I loved seeing my students passionate about what they are learning.

Quality education is absolutely essential in making sure a child is prepared for their future career. I love working with students and seeing them triumph over areas they were once struggling with.

Skyler's Russian Studies background means years of close reading and structural analysis of complex texts — exactly the muscle the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section demands when students have to trace arguments through dense passages and select supporting citations. Her 1510 SAT shows she's navigated the full test the PSAT mirrors, and she applies her writing and grammar expertise to the Writing and Language section, where spotting errors in context matters far more than memorizing isolated rules. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan, studying social psychology. Before this, I was at Duke University completing a BS in psychology as well as a MS in global health. My research combines the fields of global health and psychology by examining the effects of culture on self-related psychological processes. I hope to continue in academia to become a professor of psychology, as teaching is among my greatest passions.

Cornell's premed track means Pratik juggles dense science reading and quantitative problem-solving daily — the same combination the PSAT throws at students across its Evidence-Based Reading passages and no-calculator math section. His 1550 SAT and 35 ACT show he's beaten both major test architectures the PSAT draws from, and he uses that dual perspective to teach students how to spot the specific question types where time management matters most.

I am a learner for life and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have tutored middle-school students for one year and university students for two years. My focus is mainly on mathematics, chemistry, and related fields. I have degrees in both mathematics and biomedical engineering so I cover a lot of ground in the physiological sciences, computer programming, and statistics as well. Taking tests is one of my strong points and I have some killer strategies to share!

I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!

I'm a Mechanical Engineer working in the automotive industry. Throughout my high school and college career, I've been tutoring math and physics. I always strive to help my students become the best versions of themselves.

Scoring a 1520 on the SAT means Surina already knows the testing patterns the PSAT shares — evidence-based reading questions, no-calculator math traps, and the command-of-evidence items that trip up even strong students. As a dental student at Michigan with a science background, she breaks down the math and data interpretation sections with real precision while also tackling the reading and writing passages that many STEM-oriented tutors gloss over. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.

I'm a sophomore at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and I'm majoring in Business Administration at the Ross School of Business. I was a member of the peer tutorial service at my high school, Detroit Country Day School. Thank you!

Nikitha's computer science training at Michigan built the kind of systematic, pattern-based thinking that pays off on the PSAT's math sections — particularly Heart of Algebra and Passport to Advanced Math problems where setting up the right approach matters more than grinding through calculations. She also tutors PSAT Writing Skills, teaching students to spot grammar-in-context errors by treating each question like debugging code: isolate the problem, test the fix, move on. Her 1540 SAT and 5.0 rating back up the approach.

Rated 4.9 by students, he's especially sharp at identifying where small strategic adjustments translate into National Merit–qualifying score jumps.

I am an artist and journalist from Ann Arbor, MI attending Harvard College in Cambridge, MA. I'm excited to work with students in my area and online.

I am a second year student pursuing a BSE in Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan. I have tutored students of various ages, and my main concern as a tutor is to make sure that the student feels comfortable asking any sort of question and that they always leave the session feeling optimistic rather than defeated. I am a math and science nerd, and while I am very capable of helping in a variety of subjects including English and Spanish, I would much refer to help you solve a difficult math or chemistry problem. I also love helping students prep for the SAT or ACT, as I was once the kids who was obsessed with boosting my score and am happy to teach my techniques to others. I am a very sociable person and outside of academia I love to entertain myself by hanging with my friends, watching sports and binge-ing tv series, blasting rap music, or even talking about conspiracy theories. I know what it is like to feel stuck and like you are incapable of succeeding, but I am a firm believer that if you try hard enough, you can always achieve those seemingly impossible goals, and I am here to help you do just that.

I am a junior studying chemical engineering at the University of Michigan. I have experience with preparing for and taking the ACT and SAT, as well as expertise in a variety of high school-level subjects. I am an easygoing person with a lot of patience, and I have experience tutoring peers from my high school, as well as my younger sister. I love helping people understand new concepts and I strive to make material interesting to students, as I believe a vested interest in material can drastically improve a student's understanding and performance.

A University of Michigan double major in Biomolecular Science and Economics, Goutham brings sharp reading comprehension and quantitative reasoning to every section of the PSAT — from evidence-based reading passages to the no-calculator math problems that trip students up most.
