I am back in the area to coach rowing and tutor before beginning my postgraduate studies in the fall.

Philosophy trains you to spot logical structure hiding inside messy language — which is exactly what the SAT Math section demands when it buries a straightforward quadratic or system of equations inside a paragraph of real-world context. Ezra scored a perfect 1600 and approaches every problem by teaching students to strip the question down to its formal skeleton before solving. Rated 4.8 by students.

Most people don't associate a Comparative Literature degree with SAT Math — but Jacob's 1550 SAT means he clearly commands the quantitative side of the test, and his literary training gives him an unusual edge when it comes to unpacking the section's notoriously tricky word problems. He teaches students to read SAT Math prompts the way a close reader dissects a passage: isolate the key information, ignore the misdirection, and translate what's left into a clean equation before solving.

I am particularly interested in helping people strengthen their writing skills. Whether you're working on your first high school essay or whether you're refining your undergraduate honors thesis, I can help!

Scoring a 1560 on the SAT gave Michael firsthand insight into the traps the math section sets — problems that look like they need complex algebra but actually hinge on one geometric shortcut, or word problems designed to waste time if you don't set up the equation correctly from the start. He teaches a triage system: categorize the problem, pick the fastest path, and move on. Students who already know the math but lose points to pacing or careless errors tend to see the biggest jumps working with him.

Every SAT Math question has a fast path and a slow path — Gray's job is teaching students to see the fast one. After scoring a 1590 on the SAT himself, he developed a systematic approach to the no-calculator and calculator sections that prioritizes recognizing problem types within seconds. Students leave sessions with concrete strategies for passport-to-advanced-math questions, which is where most points are lost.

From quadratic modeling to advanced coordinate geometry, the SAT Math section tests whether students can apply algebra and pre-calc concepts in unfamiliar contexts. Dylan's background spans the full math curriculum — he tutors everything from pre-algebra through calculus — which means he can pinpoint exactly where a gap in understanding is causing errors on test day. He scored a 1470 SAT composite and builds each session around the specific question types a student keeps missing.

I'm a fourth year medical student who will graduate from Georgetown University School of Medicine in May 2025. I have been tutoring since high school in a wide variety of subjects at all levels of education from elementary school to the graduate level. My tutoring philosophy is to identify where and how students are struggling and to use each student's learning style to break down concepts and learn in smaller steps. While I have a wide breadth of subjects in I am comfortable tutoring, I am most experience in the maths and sciences

I am now in my third year at a small elementary school where I oversee all curriculum and provide instruction in 3rd-6th grade math, Latin, and English composition.

Scoring a 1550 on the SAT wasn't just about knowing formulas — Sam developed a triage strategy for the math section that prioritizes which problems to solve first and which to revisit. She digs into the specific question types that cost students the most points, from quadratic modeling to systems of inequalities, and builds speed without sacrificing accuracy.

I'm a strong believer that education can be fun, and address learning with a sense of humor and a positive attitude. My approach to learning tends to be very communication-based, and often driven by how the client I'm working with feels they learn best. As a result, I tend to provide structure and guidance in a more flexible learning environment.

I am an Occupational Therapist with a background and interests in psychology, english, and math. I studied Psychology and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia and have a Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy from Tufts University.

Scoring an 800 on the Math II Subject Test and a 1530 SAT composite, Rei knows the SAT Math section inside out — from heart-of-algebra fundamentals to the trickier quadratic and exponential modeling questions that separate good scores from great ones. He teaches students to recognize problem archetypes so they spend less time figuring out what to do and more time doing it.

Shannon earned a 1550 on the SAT and treats the math section as a strategy game — knowing when to set up an equation versus when to backsolve or plug in answer choices can save minutes that add up across the test. She digs into the specific algebra and data-analysis concepts the SAT leans on hardest, so students walk in knowing exactly what to expect.

I am excited to see what the West Coast has to offer. I love learning and teaching, and I am excited to share what I know of standardized tests, the English language, and of writing overall.

Hi, I'm Nic :) I have a Masters in philosophy and a Bachelors in computer science. I've worked as an educator for over a decade, thoroughly enjoy tutoring high school students, and can't wait to start working with you (or your student) towards persistent academic success! Feel free to reach out with any questions, https://linktr.ee/nickhh

I'm Heather, a social worker in Portland, OR. I graduated summa cum laude in 2018 from Willamette University, a liberal arts college on the West Coast, with a 4.0 GPA. I share this to let you know that I am passionate and committed to lifelong learning, and enjoy helping others along the same journey.

I'm in a good position to talk about how certain concepts are used in the real world. I'm also a huge bookworm and offer SAT Critical Reading prep as well as general tutoring for writing. My hobby is creative writing and I'm currently writing up parts of my dissertation for publication, so I can help with writing from literary analysis to history research papers to the writing aspect of lab reports. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm playing the hammered dulcimer and teaching myself to code in new languages.

I am a recent graduate of Haverford College with a reverence for education. I aim to help students grow as both students and learners in the broader sense. My aim is to help the student progress as much as possible through being simultaneously supportive and rigorous. In my past experience, I have found that the best mode of education is dependent upon the particular student, and thus strive to accommodate a wide variety of personalities and learning styles. Through a comprehensive approach, I attempt to instill in students both knowledge and a love for learning.

I am not teaching, I write fiction (my debut book, From the Caves, won several national awards) and my shorter works have appeared in Poets & Writers, Longreads, The Kenyon Review, CRAFT Literary Magazine, New Orleans Review, and elsewhere. Learn more at theaprieto.com.

Scoring a 1530 on the SAT, Daniel knows how the math section tests familiar concepts in unfamiliar ways — especially with multi-step word problems and data interpretation questions that punish rushing. He teaches students to identify what each problem is actually asking before touching their calculator, a habit that cuts down on careless errors and builds real confidence under time pressure.

I'm teaching is as important as understanding the subject itself.

Philosophy majors spend their days pulling apart arguments to find hidden assumptions — and Daniel applies that same dissection to SAT Math questions, especially the wordy "Heart of Algebra" setups where the real challenge is figuring out what's being asked before any computation starts. His 1550 SAT means he's already cracked the test at a high level, and his Socratic teaching style (lots of pointed questions, few handed-over answers) pushes students to internalize problem-solving instincts rather than memorize steps.

The SAT math section rewards efficiency as much as accuracy, and Rohan teaches both — showing students when to set up an equation, when to backsolve, and when to estimate. His own 1510 SAT score and his background teaching college math at Oregon give him a clear read on which algebra and data-analysis concepts the test leans on hardest. He builds each session around timed practice so speed becomes second nature.

I am currently a senior attending the University of Notre Dame, and I am pursuing a degree in the Program of Liberal Studies (PLS). PLS is a renowned Great Books program that aims to perfect the student's ability to think critically in a variety of disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, and history. In PLS, great emphasis is placed on formulating deep and effective arguments and presenting them clearly in a technically correct manner, both in class and through my written work. Consequently, I have had much practice writing and editing my own work as well as editing that of my classmates. I am also pursuing a minor in education and am seriously considering pursuing a career in the educational field after graduating. I am passionate about helping others learn to the fullest extent of their abilities while enjoying the subject at the same time!

I am prepared to work with my students, at their own pace, to ensure that they aren't just completing the work, but fully understanding and internalizing the material.

I am eager to help you grow in your knowledge and appreciation of French and German - my hope is that you will not only become proficient in your foreign language of choice, but that you will come to love it as well. To this end, my lessons engage all of your capacities to communicate: reading, listening, writing and speaking. As a continuing language-learner myself, I value trust and encouragement highly. I look forward to meeting with you!

Classics majors spend their days translating dense, layered texts into precise meaning — and Marilyn applies that same careful parsing to the SAT Math section's notoriously wordy algebra and data problems, teaching students to strip a question down to its actual mathematical ask before picking up a pencil. Her 1510 SAT confirms she knows the test inside out, and her strength in geometry and calculus means she can build genuine number sense behind the formulas rather than just drilling shortcuts. Rated 4.8 by students.

Gabby's background is in writing and communication, not advanced math — so she's upfront that SAT Math isn't her primary lane. That said, her experience prepping hundreds of students for the SAT means she knows the test's structure cold, including how to manage pacing and avoid the reading-comprehension traps buried in the math section's wordiest problems.

Karl earned a 1500 SAT and applies a methodical, science-minded approach to the math section — particularly the no-calculator portion, where algebraic fluency and number sense matter most. He digs into the concepts behind quadratic modeling, complex numbers, and ratio reasoning so students can solve problems flexibly rather than relying on a single memorized method.

I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Southern California. I am majoring in Health and Human Sciences and minoring in Spanish, and am also on the pre-medical track. Growing up, I had difficulty in school understanding concepts in science, which originally dissuaded me from pursuing career in science. However, when I eventually found the right tutors, everything began to make sense to me and I realized how much I enjoyed learning when I could understand the material. It was empowering and I felt proud and confident in myself when the concepts started clicking. Because of my experiences, I decided to start tutoring to help others experience that feeling of finally understanding a tough concept. While I tutor a variety of different subjects, I've always been most passionate about concepts concering the NREMT, English, Spanish, and basic level mathematics. For the last four years, I've been tutoring a wide range of students, from elementary school kids to college students, and I absolutely love watching their level of understanding grow as they discover new concepts. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to seek tutoring, and I try to be as approachable as possible while continuing to emphasize the power of learning and the confidence that accompanies it. I also firmly believe that learning should not only be educational, but fun as well!

Two mechanical engineering degrees mean Tammy has solved thousands of algebra, geometry, and modeling problems under exam conditions — the same core skills the SAT Math section tests, just dressed up in standardized-test language. She teaches students to treat the section's wordy "Additional Topics" and passport-to-advanced-math questions like engineering problems: sketch it, identify what's known, write one clean equation, then solve. Her 1490 SAT confirms she knows how the test actually works, not just the math behind it.

I am a third-year Psychology major at Reed College in Portland, OR. I work as a researcher in a cognitive neuroscience lab studying human perception, and I am interested in pursuing a graduate degree in neuroscience. I have always been drawn to tutoring and mentorship roles, beginning when I joined my high school's Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program as a peer tutor. Currently, I tutor other students at my college in Writing and Humanities through my college's Academic Support Center.

I am a TEFL certified English language teacher, with multiple years of experience teaching English overseas, having lived in both Thailand and Laos, and worked with students of all ages and skill levels. My lessons have ranged from language activation and phonics in kindergarten, to grammar instruction with teens, to conversational business English with adults.

Scoring well on SAT Math means knowing when a problem wants algebra and when it wants a shortcut — the difference between grinding through a system of equations and recognizing a ratio pattern that solves it in seconds. Ben earned a 1530 SAT composite and teaches students to read problems strategically, especially on the no-calculator section where efficiency matters most. He zeroes in on the high-frequency topics like linear functions, quadratics, and proportional reasoning that drive score gains.

I am a science communicator with a background in English, biology, and environmental education. I have worked previously on a citizen science initiative, The American Kestrel Partnership, and recently graduated from the University of Oregon with M.S. degrees in Environmental Studies and Multimedia Journalism. In my free time, I play competitive roller derby for Portland's Wheels of Justice.

I am dedicated, then, to meeting students where they are at in their writing. I have found that my strengths lie in listening to students, hearing what they struggle with, and then dedicating the time and patience to helping them improve their work. My goal as an instructor and tutor is to not only equip students with the skills they need to improve their writing and English but also to help them see that they do have something valuable to say and that they can make improvements. I have learned through my experiences that I am passionate about working with students because I greatly enjoy helping them gain confidence to become better writers, communicators, and learners.

I am so excited to teach online this year. For the last seven years, I taught all over the country (Charleston, SC, Nashville, TN, Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA) and also earned a master's degree in education from Johns Hopkins University along the way.

To laugh is to learn. I want to teach people to love to learn, and the best way to do that is to make them laugh. I have over twenty years of experience tutoring people in every subject from ABC to Algebra. Let's learn together.

I am a recent college graduate with an interdisciplinary degree in History-Literature from Reed College. I graduated with academic commendations my last two years and won an award for my Senior thesis on artistic and literary resistance under Pinochet's dictatorial regime in Chile from 1973 to 1990. I have experience in essay editing, and am qualified to tutor in Humanities, English, and most areas of Western and Latin American History. I also competed nationally in high school as a policy debater, which makes me a good candidate for working with students on public speaking skills.
