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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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'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!

Finance and statistics coursework at NYU means Dennis spends his days building models around the same quantitative reasoning the SAT Math section tests — probability, linear relationships, and interpreting data from tables and graphs. His 1550 SAT score came partly from treating the no-calculator questions as logic puzzles rather than computation drills, an approach he now teaches by walking students through how to eliminate answer choices using number properties before ever picking up a pencil.

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.

Most SAT Math mistakes aren't about not knowing the content — they're about misreading what a problem is actually asking or choosing the slowest path to the answer. Jamie scored a 1550 and teaches students to decode each question type, whether it's a system of equations buried in a word problem or a statistics question testing median versus mean. His approach is built around timed practice and pattern recognition so students stop leaving easy points on the table.

Engineering coursework at Washington and Lee gave Alex daily practice with the exact math the SAT tests at its hardest level: systems of equations, quadratic modeling, and interpreting complex data tables. He scored a 1590 composite and now teaches students to distinguish between problems that reward algebraic manipulation and those better solved by plugging in values or back-solving. That strategic flexibility is often what separates a 700 from a 780.

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.

John's approach to SAT Math zeroes in on the difference between knowing algebra and knowing how the SAT tests algebra — things like rewriting equations to match answer choices or catching unit conversion traps in word problems. With a 1420 SAT and deep experience across calculus, geometry, and college algebra, he connects each practice problem to the specific concept being tested so students build real recognition, not just test-day luck.

I'm a rising junior at Brown University studying biomedical engineering. I have lots of experience in middle school through college level instruction in STEM and SAT/ACT prep. My goal is to provide a fun and productive learning environment by only teaching subjects that I am passionate about.

Katherine scored a 1500 on the SAT and knows the Math section inside out, from the no-calculator portion's emphasis on algebraic manipulation to the calculator section's data-analysis and modeling questions. She digs into the specific concept gaps that cost students points — whether that's systems of equations, quadratic behavior, or tricky word problems involving ratios and percentages. Her approach is to build fluency with the question formats so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar.

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

I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!

Viktor scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT, and his math degree from UChicago means he doesn't just know the answers — he understands why the College Board designs each question the way it does. He breaks down the no-calculator and calculator sections differently, showing students how to spot which algebraic manipulation or data-analysis shortcut each problem is actually testing.

A chemistry degree means Won spent years converting word problems into equations — balancing reactions, calculating concentrations, working through stoichiometry — which is exactly the skill the SAT Math section's algebra and problem-solving questions demand under time pressure. His 1560 SAT confirms he knows how to execute that skill quickly on test day, and he zeroes in on the geometry and passport-to-advanced-math questions where students most often second-guess themselves.
