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 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!

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'm going to fail, might as well not do it alone." I started working on homework with her and started to realize that I learned best when I taught others! Soon, I started "tutoring" many of my other pre-med friends in the same class and aced Chemistry! Since then, I've found a growing love for teaching others all sorts of subjects- especially all pre-medical sciences and the bible and it was my ticket into medical school! Still, medical school always hung on a string of doubt in my heart as I feel in love with teaching/ tutoring through teaching science and the bible so I eventually gave up medical school and started working at a school as a teaching aide with no idea if teaching was the path I should be on or not. Lo and behold near the end of the year, my school offered me a position and opportunity to become a certified teacher and here I am today working towards that and hoping to teach abroad someday!

I am currently working towards a BS in Music Education at Case Western Reserve University. In the past I have worked with middle school orchestra students at an arts summer camp, where I was a volunteer Teacher's Assistant. During this camp I ran sectionals with small groups of students and sat in with the violinists to help individual students in large group rehearsals. I have some tutoring and organization experience by working with my high school's chapter of the California Scholarship Federation, where we offered free tutoring to other high school students. I am most passionate about tutoring algebra and pre-calculus, because I really enjoy the problem-solving aspects of math. I also tutor English and SAT prep. In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, and practicing as many different instruments as I can get my hands on!

Scoring a 1470 on the SAT gave Timothy firsthand insight into how the Math section tests algebraic reasoning and data interpretation in ways that look different from classroom problems. He walks students through the specific question formats — multi-step word problems, scatterplot analysis, systems of equations — and shows how to avoid the traps the test designers build in.

I'm Elizabeth Krochka, but you can call me Beth. I'm a 23 year old Allegheny College graduate with a passion for learning and teaching. One day, I'd like to teach and I hope that working with Varsity Tutors and my clients will help me prepare to be a better teacher. I've always loved school, mainly because I had teachers who were extremely inspired by what they were teaching. They are why I think passion is the key to teaching and I hope to share my passion for learning with my clients. I think that a good teacher or tutor can be the difference between learning being a chore or an opportunity. Passion is contagious and once a student or client can view the information in a new light, what was once impossible becomes a conquered challenge.

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!

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'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.

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.

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.
