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.

Scoring well on SAT Math often comes down to recognizing which algebraic setup a word problem is really asking for — systems of equations disguised as ticket sales, or quadratic models hidden in projectile scenarios. Karen scored 1530 on the SAT and teaches students to translate problem language into equations before reaching for a calculator. She's particularly effective at closing the gap between "almost there" scores and target numbers.
I am most interested in tutoring Math (geometry, algebra 1/2/prealgebra, trigonometry), Physics 1 and 2, General Chemistry (Honors, AP, or college level), and the MCAT Foundations of Physical Science and Critical Analysis and Reasoning sections.
I am a recent college graduate looking for opportunities to tutor and get involved with education before I attend medical school this fall. I have a bachelor's of science from the University of Akron and my academic areas of focus where I am best prepared to teach are animal and cell physiology, immunology, biochemistry, and preparing for the MCAT. I took the MCAT this past January and am hoping to share some of the techniques that worked for me while the test is still fresh in my mind. For the ACT I would feel comfortable teaching the reading and science sections since those are my strong points.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see gains of 50-150 points over 2-3 months of consistent work. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking pacing—and targeting those systematically. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who diagnose exactly where you're losing points and build a focused study plan around your goals.
Your first session is an assessment and planning meeting. Your tutor will review your practice test results, discuss your target score, and identify patterns in the types of problems you're missing. Together, you'll create a personalized study roadmap that covers content review, problem-solving strategies, and timed practice—so you know exactly what to focus on before your test date.
Many students rush through SAT Math or get stuck on difficult problems, wasting valuable time. Tutors teach you strategic approaches like identifying easier vs. harder questions, knowing when to skip and return, and using efficient problem-solving methods. With guided practice tests and timed drills, you'll build confidence in your pacing so test day feels manageable rather than stressful.
Columbus students typically struggle with word problems (translating English into equations), multi-step algebra, geometry reasoning, and data interpretation questions. Many also lose points due to careless errors under time pressure or misunderstanding what a question is actually asking. A tutor helps you build both conceptual understanding and the careful reading habits that prevent these costly mistakes.
Practice tests are essential—they're your best predictor of actual test performance and reveal exactly where you need to focus. Rather than studying randomly, practice tests show you which topics and question types trip you up most. Your tutor will use official SAT practice tests to track your progress, adjust your study plan, and build the stamina and confidence you need for test day.
Look for tutors with strong math backgrounds, proven SAT teaching experience, and familiarity with the current SAT format. They should be able to explain why answers are right or wrong, not just give you formulas. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand SAT Math deeply and know how to adapt their teaching to your learning style and goals.
Absolutely. Many students feel anxious about SAT Math because they've had negative experiences with math or worry about time pressure. Working 1-on-1 with a tutor builds confidence through small wins—mastering one topic at a time, seeing your practice test scores improve, and developing strategies that make you feel prepared. This confidence carries directly into test day performance.
Most students benefit from 1-2 tutoring sessions per week combined with 3-5 hours of independent practice, depending on your starting score and test date. If you're 3+ months out, you can take a more gradual approach; if you're closer to test day, you may need more intensive work. Your tutor will help you build a realistic schedule that fits your life while keeping you on track for your score goal.
