Maxwell scored a 1520 on the SAT and brings a mathematician's eye to the Math section, where the difference between a good score and a great one often comes down to spotting shortcuts in quadratic and systems-of-equations problems. He drills students on translating word problems into algebra quickly, then checking answers by back-substitution — a habit that eliminates careless errors under time pressure.

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!
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.
Scoring 1570 on the SAT gave Vinay a sharp sense of where the Math section sets traps — especially in passport-to-advanced-math questions involving quadratics, nonlinear systems, and function transformations. His mathematics-economics degree from UCLA means he doesn't just know the shortcuts; he understands the algebra deeply enough to explain why each one works. Students walk away with both the conceptual grounding and the pacing instincts to finish confidently.
I'm entering my senior year at Case Western Reserve University. I'm happy to provide tutoring services for those interested in improving their academic performance or exam preparation. The subjects which I am most proficient include SAT Math, Algebra 1 , Algebra 2, Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry.
I am a rising sophomore at Columbia University in the City of New York, a member of the Ivy League, where I have compiled a track record of academic success across a variety of disciplines including my majors in History and Political Science. I currently maintain a 3.96 GPA, with especially strong success in social science related fields and English courses. I am living in our Writers House next year, a selective, competitive residential space for students interested in a career in writing.
I am a current student at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in English and minoring in journalism and art history. I am very passionate about literature, writing and history, and I love sharing my knowledge and learning new things. In the past few years, I have worked with young children learning to read and high school Latin students, and I also love working with students on improving Standardized Test results. In my spare time, I love reading, music and anything active!
Medical school admissions forced Hyerin to master the SAT herself — her 1470 composite means she's recently tackled the same algebra-heavy, time-pressured questions her students face. Her economics degree built the quantitative instincts that make the section's data-analysis and percent-change problems feel like second nature, and she teaches students to convert the SAT's deliberately tricky wording into straightforward arithmetic before solving. Rated 4.9 by students.
Biology and economics coursework means Sunny has spent years toggling between quantitative reasoning and data interpretation — the exact skill set the SAT Math section leans on hardest in its tables, scatterplots, and real-world modeling questions. He scored a 1550 on the SAT and is especially effective at teaching students to work through the algebra-heavy problems without a calculator by building number-sense habits that replace brute-force computation. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring 1570 on the SAT, Priya knows the math section inside out — from the no-calculator portion's emphasis on algebraic manipulation to the calculator section's data analysis and advanced function questions. She teaches students to recognize which problems are testing concepts they already know in disguise, a skill that eliminates second-guessing and saves critical minutes. Her mathematics major means she can also explain the underlying logic when a student wants to understand why a shortcut works.
Most students don't associate art history with math, but Elana's 1550 SAT came from the same close-reading discipline she applies to visual analysis — on the SAT Math section, she teaches students to dissect word problems and data tables with that same precision, pulling out exactly which values matter before setting up an equation. She's especially sharp on the geometry and coordinate-plane questions where sketching a quick diagram unlocks the answer faster than any formula.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Many students improve by 50-100+ points by identifying weak areas, mastering test-specific strategies, and building confidence through practice. The key is consistent work on problem-solving techniques and timed practice tests to simulate real test conditions.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand and what you need. A tutor will review your current score (if you have one), identify which math topics challenge you most—whether it's algebra, geometry, or data analysis—and assess your test-taking pace and accuracy. From there, you'll build a personalized study plan targeting your specific weak areas and test-taking habits.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges students face—you have 80 minutes for 58 questions, so speed matters. Tutors help you develop strategies like identifying easier vs. harder questions, knowing when to skip and return to problems, and practicing mental math shortcuts. Regular timed practice tests are essential; they build the muscle memory needed to work efficiently without sacrificing accuracy.
Tutors start by analyzing your practice test results and past homework to pinpoint which topics trip you up—algebra, functions, geometry, or trigonometry. They'll also look at patterns: Do you miss easy questions due to careless errors? Struggle with word problems? Run out of time? Once weak areas are identified, you focus your study time there rather than reviewing material you already know well.
Absolutely. Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure of your approach to problems. Tutors build confidence by breaking SAT Math into manageable pieces, teaching you proven problem-solving strategies, and giving you repeated success through practice. Familiarity with question formats and having a solid game plan for pacing reduces stress significantly on test day.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week over 8-12 weeks, though this depends on your timeline and starting score. If you're testing soon, more frequent sessions help accelerate progress. Between tutoring sessions, consistent independent practice—especially timed practice tests and problem sets targeting weak areas—is just as important as the tutoring itself.
Practice tests do two critical things: they reveal your weak areas and build test-day stamina and pacing skills. Taking full, timed practice tests under realistic conditions helps you understand how you actually perform under pressure, not just how well you solve individual problems. Tutors use your practice test results to guide what you study next and track your progress over time.
