Award-Winning PSAT Tutors
serving Tacoma, WA

Alice's biology pre-med coursework at Union College keeps her sharp on the data-interpretation and quantitative reasoning questions that dominate the PSAT's math sections, while her 1550 SAT confirms she's mastered the full test architecture the PSAT mirrors. Where she really stands out is timing strategy — she teaches students to identify which question types to attack first in each section so they stop leaving easy points on the table. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am expecting to complete my PhD within the year. I offer tutoring for English or AP English classes, and writing assignments for any class at any level, as well as SAT, GRE and GRE Literature preparation.

I am beginning work as a management consultant in the engineering space this summer (2020).

I'm infinitely curious, always exploring and learning more about the people around me and how the world works.

Because the PSAT mirrors the SAT's structure but serves as most students' first encounter with high-stakes standardized testing, building smart pacing habits early matters more than content review alone. Sameer walks students through timed section practice with a focus on when to skip, when to estimate, and how to eliminate answers efficiently across both the math and reading-writing modules.

Scoring a 1500 on the SAT means Angela already knows the exact question styles and content the PSAT throws at students — since both tests share the same format, just at different difficulty levels. She zeroes in on the evidence-based reading questions and grammar conventions that tend to trip up sophomores and juniors seeing them for the first time. Rated 5.0 by students, she also builds pacing strategies so no section feels rushed on test day.

Xiansheng's cellular and molecular biology training built the kind of quantitative reasoning and dense-text parsing that the PSAT tests across both its math and evidence-based reading sections. He uses his 1450 SAT experience to walk students through the specific algebra and data-interpretation question types that repeat on every form, while his bilingual background in Mandarin sharpens his ear for the grammar-in-context problems that native English speakers often overthink. Rated 4.7 by students.

I am a senior at George Fox University majoring in English and Spanish. I tutor SAT prep, Language Arts, and Spanish.

The PSAT matters more than students realize — it's the qualifying exam for National Merit, and the scoring scale is unforgiving at the top. Antonia treats PSAT prep as early SAT training, covering everything from evidence-based reading strategies to no-calculator algebra techniques so students build habits that pay off twice. Her experience tutoring across K-12 subjects means she can adapt quickly whether a student needs help with reading comprehension, grammar conventions, or quadratic word problems.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

I'm a biochemistry major at Northeastern University. I love math and science, and like to work with kids and teens on those subjects. I have also worked in an ESL classroom, and am available to help with reading and writing skills. I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduate from Georgetown University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics with a minor in Music. I'm currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Business Analytics at Carnegie Mellon University. I've been tutoring since I started high school, focusing on mathematics and writing. Throughout my college career I was employed both privately and by Georgetown University to tutor peers and high school students in the Washington, D.C. area. I worked with students taking classes in all levels of mathematics falling under Algebra, Calculus, Combinatorics, and Problem Solving.

Daniela's English coursework sharpens the exact close-reading instincts the PSAT's Writing and Language section depends on — spotting how a misplaced transition or awkward sentence weakens an argument in context. Her 1560 SAT means she's already conquered the test the PSAT is modeled after, and her fluency in Spanish and French gives her an unusual ear for the grammar-in-context questions where syntax patterns trip up monolingual test-takers.

I'm a graduate of Columbia University with a B.A. in History. I'm passionate about history and English, but I'm a competent math tutor as well. I have received outstanding scores on my SAT and AP tests, and am confident in my ability to pass on these skills to the next generation.

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.

Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Rhea already had the PSAT mastered before she sat for the real thing — the question types, the pacing traps, and the specific grammar and evidence-based reading skills that National Merit semifinalist cutoffs demand. As a UChicago biology student, she brings sharp analytical reading to the passages and a methodical approach to the math sections that breaks down no-calculator problems into manageable steps. Rated 4.8 by her students, she builds test-day strategies that go well beyond content review.

Vivian scored a 1530 on the SAT and a perfect 36 on the ACT, so she's navigated both test architectures the PSAT draws from — a rare double perspective that sharpens her ability to teach the underlying reasoning behind each question type. Her history degree built the close-reading and argumentation skills that the Evidence-Based Reading section rewards, while her extensive standardized test prep background means she can quickly diagnose where a student's timing or strategy falls apart on the Writing and Language section.

Chemical engineering at Washington and Lee drilled the kind of systematic problem-solving that makes the PSAT's no-calculator math section click — setting up equations from word problems, manipulating expressions without reaching for a graphing calculator, and catching algebraic traps before they cost points. Alex pairs that quantitative strength with sharp reading and writing skills honed through an anthropology double major, which means the evidence-based passages and grammar-in-context questions get the same rigorous attention. His 1590 SAT and 36 ACT confirm he's mastered the full test architecture the PSAT is built from.

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.

Anna's MD/MBA path through Northwestern's Feinberg and Kellogg programs means she's spent years toggling between dense scientific literature and business case analysis — the exact mix of reading speed and quantitative precision the PSAT demands across both its Evidence-Based Reading and math sections. Her 36 ACT and 1590 SAT confirm she's mastered standardized test architecture at the highest level, and she uses that experience to teach students how to spot the PSAT's recurring trap-answer patterns in command-of-evidence questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

Max's biology background gives him a surprising advantage on the PSAT — the evidence-based reading passages frequently draw from scientific studies, and he teaches students to navigate those dense, data-heavy texts the same way he'd read a research paper. His 1580 SAT and 36 ACT mean he's mastered every section the PSAT mirrors, from no-calculator algebra through command-of-evidence questions. Rated 5.0 by students.

Elliot's neuroscience PhD means he's spent years doing exactly what the PSAT's reading passages demand — digesting complex arguments quickly, weighing evidence, and identifying the claims that actually hold up. That scientific rigor carries into the math sections too, where his quantitative reasoning and statistics background makes the data-analysis and Heart of Algebra questions feel routine. He scored a 1540 SAT and holds a 5.0 rating.

I am comfortable, however, with upper level math classes (such as calculus), and science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics). I am in the process of applying to medical school as well. I have been fortunate to have already been accepted into a couple of schools. I would love to help you prepare for the MCATs and get a head start on your medical school application. I think this one-on-one tutoring model can be a powerful study method in preparing you for success in both the classroom and on standardized tests. In my spare time, I enjoy skiing, running, playing board games, and performing/learning magic tricks!
