Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors
serving Tacoma, WA

Alice earned a 1550 SAT, and her strength in the Math section comes from years of genuine enthusiasm for problem-solving across algebra, geometry, and data analysis. She zeroes in on the specific question styles College Board uses — like multi-step word problems that bury the actual question — and teaches students to decode them systematically before picking up a pencil.

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).

An SAT Math score is often less about what a student knows and more about how quickly they recognize which tool to use — is this a systems problem, a quadratic in disguise, or a ratio setup? Grant, who scored 1530 on the SAT, unpacks the test's recurring question structures so students spend less time deliberating and more time solving.

Scoring 1450 on the SAT gave Xiansheng firsthand insight into the exam's structure, especially the way SAT Math layers algebra, data analysis, and passport-to-advanced-math questions with increasing complexity. He breaks down multi-step word problems into recognizable patterns so students stop second-guessing themselves and start finishing sections with time to spare.

Angela breaks SAT Math into its highest-value skill clusters — linear equations, quadratic behavior, and data analysis — and builds each student's speed by emphasizing algebraic shortcuts over calculator dependence. Her 1500 SAT and quantitative coursework in environmental science give her fluency with the applied math problems that trip up students in the later, harder modules. She holds a 5.0 rating from the students she's worked with.

Sameer's strength on SAT Math comes from seeing the same core algebra and precalculus concepts from multiple angles — as a UW computer science student, he thinks about functions, systems of equations, and data analysis both abstractly and computationally. He teaches students to recognize which tool a problem is really asking for, whether that's back-solving, graphing mentally, or setting up a quick equation, so they stop burning time on brute-force approaches.

After earning a 1490 SAT composite, Elizabeth developed a clear sense of which math concepts the College Board tests hardest — linear modeling, quadratic behavior, and ratio reasoning show up far more than students expect. She teaches students to recognize problem types quickly so they spend their time solving, not figuring out what's being asked.

Running a dual-language tutoring program in Mandarin and English sharpened Antonia's ability to explain math concepts multiple ways — a skill that pays off on SAT Math when a student's first approach to a systems-of-equations or ratio problem isn't clicking. She's tutored math from elementary through test prep and knows how to trace SAT mistakes back to the foundational gaps (especially in fraction operations and proportional reasoning) that quietly cost points across the entire section.

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!

Eileen scored a 1550 SAT and knows that the Math section's difficulty isn't really about advanced concepts — it's about the way straightforward algebra and geometry get wrapped in tricky wording. She drills students on translating word problems into equations quickly and identifying which no-calculator questions are fastest solved by substitution versus algebraic manipulation.

Scoring a 1570 on the SAT, Joey knows the Math section inside and out — from the no-calculator questions that test algebraic fluency to the data-analysis problems that reward careful reading. He teaches students to recognize question patterns and avoid common traps, turning timed practice into a strategic exercise rather than a frantic race.

Scoring high on SAT Math requires knowing when a problem wants algebra and when it wants a shortcut — and the difference often hides in how the question is worded. Nikhil earned a 1540 SAT and an engineering degree, so he teaches students to read each problem strategically, especially on the no-calculator section where efficiency matters most.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

I'm currently a student at Northeastern University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.

Engineering coursework gave Conor a comfort with math that most SAT tutors simply don't have — he sees the underlying concept a question is testing before he finishes reading it. With a 1560 SAT composite, he knows exactly where the test writers hide difficulty, especially in the no-calculator section's algebra and data analysis problems. He drills students on recognizing problem types quickly so they spend time solving, not deciphering.

Scoring a 1590 SAT means Anna has already dissected every question type the Math section throws at students — from no-calculator algebra and systems of equations to data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math problems involving polynomials and exponentials. She teaches efficient strategies for avoiding trap answers and managing pacing across both calculator and no-calculator modules.

Years of music performance training — sight-reading, pattern recognition, working under pressure — gave Vivian an unusual edge on timed math tests, and her 1530 SAT backs that up. She's especially sharp on the algebra-to-geometry crossover questions where students need to visualize what an equation actually represents, a skill she builds by teaching students to sketch before they solve. Rated 4.9 by students.

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.

Scoring a 1570 SAT himself, James knows exactly where the SAT Math section sets its traps — the passport-to-advanced-math questions that bury quadratic relationships in word problems, or the data-analysis questions that test statistical reasoning more than arithmetic. He breaks each problem type into a recognition step and an execution step so students stop second-guessing themselves under time pressure. His calculus and chemistry background means no student's question goes beyond his reach.

Richard scored a 1600 on the SAT and spent a year as a calculus course assistant at Harvard, so the math on this test — from quadratic modeling to data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math questions — sits well within his comfort zone. He breaks down each problem type by identifying what concept the College Board is actually testing beneath the word-problem packaging. That pattern recognition is what turns a 700 into a 780 or higher.
