I am very excited to have the chance to work with students preparing for the PSAT, the SAT, or the LSAT! While I'm originally from Connecticut, I attended college and law school in Buffalo, New York. While there, I worked for a test prep agency helping students prepare for the SAT and the LSAT. In 2003, I moved to Richmond. I worked with the Virginia Department of Taxation for 7 years doing policy work and assisting with the legislative process. In 2011, I began working for Bryant and Stratton College, where I taught students in the Paralegal Studies program. I loved helping my students prepare for new careers. I can't wait to work with you and help you succeed as well!

I am available to help students with any topics they are struggling with in their high school or early college-level Physics courses.
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with an emphasis in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic. As part of my coursework, I studied Arabic for three years and spent a semester in Amman, Jordan. After graduating, I worked on a U.S. Senate campaign, then interned at a think tank and congressional office in Washington, DC. While at the think tank, I co-authored an article that was published in US News and World Report. I am currently pursuing my juris doctorate (JD) at the University of Georgia School of Law.
The BS/MD program at VCU means Roshni is still close enough to her own 1550 SAT to remember exactly which math topics felt straightforward and which ones required a deliberate strategy shift — particularly the geometry and trigonometry questions that students often under-practice relative to algebra. Her eight months teaching math to students ages 5 through 18 sharpened her ability to adjust explanations on the fly, meeting a calculus-ready junior and a still-building-foundations sophomore with completely different language. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am a recent cum laude graduate of the University of Amsterdam's Masters in Economics Program where I specialized in Monetary Policy and Banking. While there, I worked as a teaching assistant and tutored in economics and mathematics. Prior to that, I worked as an ESL teacher for two years in Russia and China.
I am a sophomore electrical engineering student and member of the honors college at Virginia Commonwealth University. I recently graduated from Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in June of 2017. I have a passion for mathematics, especially calculus, and am excited to share my knowledge with others.
I am currently a second year law student at Harvard Law School. I am passionate about public interest law, particularly immigration and criminal defense.
I am currently applying to medical schools in hopes of attending in the Fall of 2015. Helping my younger brother manage his genetic disorder, in addition to years of teaching special needs students at summer camp, has inspired me to pursue a career as a Pediatrician with a focus in Medical Genetics.
Joel scored a 1510 on the SAT and breaks the math section down into its core skill areas — heart of algebra, passport to advanced math, and problem solving with data analysis — so students know exactly what to expect. His biochemistry background means the calculator and no-calculator sections feel intuitive, especially on problems involving ratios, percentages, and interpreting graphs. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am currently preparing to begin a Master's of Teaching program at VCU this fall and have continued to excel in the math and history courses I need to round out my teaching endorsements. Because my future career path focuses on teaching at the high school level, I have a preference for tutoring math (especially algebra through calculus) and history, along with writing and my current subject of philosophy. Besides my career motivations, I find that I stand out the most as a tutor in these areas because of my capability in clearly presenting complex material and my ability to grasp the diverse perspectives of my students.
I am ready to help all students by answering their questions and frequently addressing some questions to them....
Carnegie Mellon's Statistics and Machine Learning program throws Victoria into probability, data analysis, and algebraic modeling daily — concepts that map cleanly onto the SAT Math section's questions about linear functions, scatterplots, and statistical inference. She's especially useful for students who need to tighten their pacing on the algebra-heavy portions, since her coding background trained her to think in efficient, step-by-step logic rather than brute-forcing every calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation. Students who work with a tutor typically improve 50-100+ points by focusing on their specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy. The key is identifying exactly which concepts or question types are holding you back, then practicing strategically rather than just doing more problems.
Your first session focuses on understanding where you stand and what you need most. A tutor will likely review your practice test results, discuss your target score, and identify patterns in the types of problems you're missing—whether it's calculator-allowed questions, grid-in problems, or conceptual gaps. This diagnostic approach means your tutoring plan is tailored to your specific challenges rather than generic test prep.
The biggest hurdles are typically pacing (running out of time on harder problems), misunderstanding what questions are asking, and gaps in foundational algebra and geometry concepts. Many students also struggle with the transition between calculator and no-calculator sections, or they miss "trap" answers designed to catch common mistakes. A tutor can help you recognize these patterns in your own work and develop strategies to avoid them.
Effective pacing starts with knowing your strengths—spend less time on easy problems and save more time for harder ones where you're likely to gain points. Practice tests are essential here; they help you learn how fast you naturally work and where you tend to get stuck. A tutor can teach you strategic skipping, help you recognize which problem types you should tackle first, and build your confidence on harder questions so you don't waste time second-guessing yourself.
Practice tests are crucial—they're the most accurate way to predict your actual test day score and identify which concepts or question formats trip you up. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions helps you build stamina and reveals patterns in your mistakes that targeted tutoring can address. Most students benefit from taking 4-6 practice tests during their prep period, with a tutor helping you analyze what went wrong and why.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about how to approach unfamiliar problems. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence by ensuring you understand the concepts, recognize question patterns, and have proven strategies for tackling tough problems. Knowing you've practiced similar questions and have a plan for managing your time and emotions can significantly reduce anxiety on test day.
Look for someone with strong math knowledge who also understands the SAT specifically—how College Board designs questions, common traps, and what strategies actually work. Experience helping students improve their scores and the ability to explain concepts clearly are equally important. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven track records in SAT Math preparation and can adapt their teaching to your learning style.
Most students benefit from 2-4 tutoring sessions per week combined with independent practice between sessions—typically 5-10 hours of total prep time weekly over 8-12 weeks. The exact schedule depends on your starting score and target, but consistency matters more than cramming. A tutor can help you create a realistic study plan that fits your schedule and builds momentum toward test day.
