A perfect 1600 on the SAT means Ezra already mastered everything the PSAT tests — the same evidence-based reading questions, the same command-of-evidence traps, the same no-calculator algebra tricks. He breaks the exam into repeatable decision patterns, teaching students to spot distractor answer choices before they become tempting. Rated 4.8 by students.

I am an experienced and well-qualified essay coach, and a tutor in language arts and German. I also tutor students who are preparing for the SAT. I earned my B.A. in Comparative Literature from Columbia University and an M.A. in German from UC Berkeley, where I taught college German and received training in foreign language pedagogy. I love to learn, I am drawn to travel, and the experiences I have had enrich my work as a tutor. For me, tutoring is about more than making the grade or getting the right score; I always strive to foster insights and new skills that will help my students take charge of their own education.

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!

I am a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I've always loved Math and the Sciences: the hunt for the right equation to use, the unravelling of the mystery of the value of x. I want to show my students to see these subjects as I do: as a challenge, not a chore. I try to do this by making things simple and showing straightforward techniques that students can use on their own to sidestep mental walls, thus building confidence. I love to see them succeed academically and value the opportunity to be a part of that success.

Eight years of tutoring the SAT and its cousin exam means Gray has watched the PSAT's question patterns evolve — and he knows exactly where the Writing and Language section overlaps with SAT conventions and where it diverges in difficulty. His government background sharpens his approach to the evidence-based reading passages, where understanding how political and social-science arguments are structured lets him teach students to eliminate wrong answers before they even finish reading the choices. A 1590 SAT and 5.0 rating back that up.

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 known among friends for my love of puzzles, riddles, word problems, and mathematical challenges. I have a deep knowledge of pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and pre-calculus and a passion for teaching it. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish. While foundational vocab and grammar are important, I emphasize speaking and encourage my students to take risks. I believe embracing discomfort is critical to learning a language. Spanish has helped me to travel and live in different communities throughout the world. I strive to kindle a similar appreciation and passion for language in my students.

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.

Heather's sociology training at Willamette — where she graduated summa cum laude — sharpened the exact skill the PSAT's Writing and Language section rewards: recognizing how authors structure arguments and use evidence to support claims. She pairs that with a 1500 SAT and a 35 ACT, meaning she's navigated both major test architectures and knows which pacing and elimination strategies transfer to the PSAT's tighter time constraints. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Shannon already conquered the PSAT's toughest content — the same evidence-based reading passages and no-calculator math sections that trip up most students. She breaks down each section's question types so students learn to spot trap answers and manage pacing before test day. Her coding bootcamp background also sharpens the logical reasoning she brings to the math and data analysis portions.

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.

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 am a recent graduate from the University of Oregon. I graduated with a major in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Music Performance (piano). My background in tutoring comes from teaching college math to various students and helping them through some of the toughest math courses in the university. I also teach classical piano lessons to a few students. Through tutoring I have developed a number of unique teaching styles that tailor to all different types of students. I also can provide quick tips and tricks to make problem solving more effective .

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'm 24 years old, and I live in Portland, Oregon. I currently work overnight at homeless shelters, and hope to tutor consistently in my spare time. This fall, I will transfer into Reed College to study philosophy as a junior. I have taken the last four years off of school to travel, handle some medical issues, work hard, and do some soul-searching. I enjoy reading and writing, being outside and active, cooking and eating good food, playing guitar, climbing rock and ice, and being alive. I am extremely passionate about learning, and love to get people excited about it as well. I like to say that I teach "maieutically;" which comes from the Greek and means "to midwife, or aid in giving birth," in this sense, to an idea. I prefer to ask the student lots of guiding questions, instead of didactically infusing them with answers. This method results in what I like to call "intellectual exhilaration," in other words, the student is excited because they were able to create something out of themselves, instead of being imbued with the ideas of others something sort of rare for children, teens, and college students at times. I look forward to studying with you!

Scoring a 1480 on the SAT means CJ already knows the testing ecosystem the PSAT lives in — the same question structures, the same evidence-based reading traps, the same no-calculator algebra tricks. He breaks the PSAT into repeatable patterns so students can spot exactly what each question is really asking before they start solving. Rated 5.0 by students.

A Classics degree from Reed College means Marilyn spent years doing exactly what the PSAT's reading and writing sections reward — close analysis of complex texts, precise grammatical reasoning, and building arguments from textual evidence. Her 1510 SAT and 34 ACT show she can execute across both verbal and quantitative sections, and her comfort with algebra and geometry means she doesn't hand off the math half to someone else. Rated 4.8 by students.

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.

Scoring 1430 on the SAT means Gabriel already knows the test architecture the PSAT mirrors — the evidence-based reading traps, the grammar conventions tested in the Writing section, and the pacing strategies that keep students from running out of time. His English teaching background makes him especially sharp at breaking down passage-based questions where students need to identify tone, purpose, and supporting evidence quickly. Rated 4.9 by students.

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!

Scoring a 1490 on the SAT means Allyson already knows the testing landscape the PSAT is built on — same question styles, same emphasis on evidence-based reading and command of evidence in writing passages. Her dual background in English and biology gives her a natural edge coaching both the verbal and science-heavy reading passages that trip students up. She breaks down answer-choice traps and pacing strategies so students walk into test day with a concrete plan, not just hope.

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.

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.

I am a current undergraduate sophomore at Harvard College majoring in biology. I also have some previous tutoring experience and I enjoy working with students. I'm patient, I have high expectations for work, I am passionate about learning, and I am excited to share what I know.

I'm applying for MAT programs and aspire to be a high school Literature and Social Studies teacher. In 2014, I spent more than 2,000 hours teaching English to Korean students. This experience showed me not only that I love teaching, but also how to work with students to achieve their goals. I tutor students in English, TOEFL preparation, SAT Verbal and Critical Reading preparation, and essay writing. My favorite subject to teach is English, because I love watching someone progress from knowing just a few words of a language to speaking it with confidence. When I tutor, I focus on presenting information to students as clearly as possible so that they can apply it to assignments after our lesson. Further, I strive to understand each individual student's learning style and tailor my lessons accordingly. Outside of helping students achieve academic success, I love to play all kinds of sports, spend time hiking, skiing, fishing and backpacking in Oregon's beautiful wilderness, learn languages and play the guitar.

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

Biomedical engineering at Purdue means Sam solves math-heavy problems under pressure every day — and the PSAT's no-calculator section tests that same ability to work through algebra and data analysis without leaning on a graphing calculator. Her 1550 SAT confirms she's mastered the full test architecture the PSAT is built from, and her science background makes the quantitative reasoning and graph-interpretation questions feel like familiar territory rather than obstacles.

Scoring 1510 on the SAT gave Rosanne deep familiarity with the question styles and pacing strategies that carry directly into PSAT prep — the two tests share the same structure, just with a tighter score range. She zeroes in on the evidence-based reading passages and command-of-evidence questions that trip up most students, breaking down how to eliminate answer choices efficiently. Her daily work teaching English composition and math to upper-elementary students also keeps her sharp at explaining foundational concepts from scratch.

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

I'm a candidate for a B.S. in Business Administration at Northeastern University. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy playing the tuba and learning about transportation engineering/planning. I'm also fully Japanese and can read, write, and speak the language. As someone who scored 1530 on the SAT and 800 on the Math II subject test, I'd love to assist you in preparing for college!

I'm currently majoring in bioengineering/pre-med at Rice University. I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class. My interests include biology, math, and violin performance. I've done neuroscience research at the Jungers Center for Neuroscience Reseach and the Oregon National Primate Research Center. I've also done molecular biology research at the Oregon Stem Cell Center.

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.

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.

Scoring a 1500 on the SAT means Madeleine already knows the testing landscape the PSAT is built from — same question styles, same traps in evidence-based reading, same grammar conventions tested in the Writing section. Her Great Books training at Notre Dame sharpened the close-reading and argument-analysis skills that drive scores up on the verbal side, while her comfort with math rounds out full-test prep. She breaks each section into repeatable strategies so students walk in knowing exactly what to expect.

Hundreds of college-bound students have worked through SAT and PSAT prep with Gabby, who holds a Master's in Strategic Communication from the University of Oregon and a background in journalism. She zeroes in on the evidence-based reading and writing sections — command of evidence questions, passage comparison, and the grammar conventions that trip up even strong writers — while also building efficient strategies for the math portion. Her experience coaching students through the full college application process means PSAT prep doubles as early groundwork for what comes next.

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!

Cognitive science at Vassar trained Ben to study how people process information — which turns out to be exactly what you need to decode the PSAT's trickiest evidence-based reading questions, where the wrong answers are designed to exploit predictable reasoning shortcuts. His 1530 SAT confirms he's navigated the full test architecture the PSAT mirrors, and his comfort with both the math and verbal sides means he can shift between no-calculator algebra and passage analysis without losing a beat.

I am an experienced Mechanical Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering.

I'm originally from the great Northwest. I moved out to New York originally to take advantage of an exciting opportunity to work towards the development of a safe and effective vaccine for the HIV virus. I've stayed because of the vibe of excitement and competition in the city. It truly does push you to be your best. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the ever-changing NYC landscape, stumbling about the internet learning whatever it has to teach me, studying politics both as an art and a science, as well as my guilty pleasure of watching the NFL and the occasional Newcastle game.
