Between his bioengineering coursework and a 1560 SAT composite, Michael knows exactly where the SAT Math section tries to create confusion — especially on problems that disguise straightforward algebra behind wordy setups or unusual graphs. He teaches students to translate each question into a clean equation before touching their calculator, a habit that cuts down on careless mistakes and speeds up pacing.

I am a sophomore at Lehigh University studying Mechanical Engineering and Design through the university's Honors IDEAS program. In high school, I volunteered as a tutor for elementary and middle school students learning the viola through the organization Music for Everyone. I also tutored high school students in American History through the National Honors Society. I loved these tutoring roles, and it was such a joy to get to know different students and help them with their studies. Through my experiences tutoring others, as well as attending a few tutoring sessions in college, I have seen what a difference this kind of personal learning experience can have. As a tutor, I feel the most important thing is to be encouraging and empathetic, working to understand each individual student's learning style so I can help them most effectively. I am most interested in tutoring in English Literature, math, and SAT Prep. I have taken countless Literature courses throughout high school and college, and it is one of my very favorite subjects. I have also had significant experience with math courses, from algebra to multivariable calculus as an engineering student. I am also excited about helping students prepare for the SAT because I have taken it in the last two years, and I remember all too well what a daunting experience it can be. I would love to help make this stressful part of high school easier for students. In my free time, I enjoy playing the viola and the piano, reading, and drawing.

I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.

I am a first year medical student at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. I have been a private tutor in the past in subjects such as math, biology, chemistry, and the SATs and every single one of my more than twenty students have shown significant improvement. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching, and your needs and preferences as the learner will always be paramount. I hope to help every one of my students reach every bit of their potential, and along the way, to utterly shatter any self-induced limitations that have been placed upon what they can accomplish.

A math degree from Georgetown plus a 1580 SAT means Peter doesn't just know the content — he knows which algebraic shortcuts and graph-reading strategies actually save time under pressure. He breaks the SAT Math section into pattern categories so students recognize problem types within seconds and spend their energy solving, not deciphering. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.

Three semesters teaching ESL gave Danielle an unusually sharp instinct for breaking down dense, wordy problems — a skill that pays off on SAT Math, where half the battle is translating a convoluted setup into a clean equation before any calculating begins. Her 1550 SAT and biology-to-med-school math background mean she's fluent in the geometry, statistics, and algebraic reasoning the test actually emphasizes. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.

I am a senior with a Neuroscience major at Swarthmore College. My favorite subjects include Biology and Psychology. I am interested in teaching students how to develop a better grasp of their academic material, improve their learning skills, and succeed in whatever course they take. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing violin, reading, and traveling. I also have extensive community service experience and have traveled to China, Kenya, and the Dominican Republic to engage in volunteer work.

I am friendly, reliable, and most importantlycommitted to helping you learn! It is my top priority to create a positive learning experience that will help boost your test scores without boring you to tears. After all, shouldn't learning be fun?

Matthew scored a 1580 on the SAT, and his approach to the Math section is built around recognizing which of the ~15 recurring problem types you're looking at before you start solving. He's particularly effective at demystifying the harder passport-to-advanced-math questions — quadratic and exponential reasoning, systems with no solution — that separate a 700 from an 800. His background as the child of two math professors means explaining quantitative concepts clearly is practically genetic.
