I am one of a rare breed of native Arizonans born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree in Astrophysics and a Master's degree in Teaching and Teacher Education. Before getting the master's degree in education I worked for NASA as an entry-...

I'm Kelly and I love everything about language. I became an avid reader at a young age, and it's stuck with me my entire life. My favorite stories are those that engage both intellect and emotions. And I love the infinite possibilities that come with constructing a good story. I'm honored to serve a...

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 rewar...

Engineering coursework means Alex solves math problems all day, but SAT Math has its own quirks — questions that look harder than they are and answer choices designed to punish rushing. He teaches students to identify those traps, especially on passport-to-advanced-math questions involving quadratic...

I am a graduate student at Arizona State University studying Human and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology, and am passionate about the value of education at all levels. Previously I worked at the US Department of Energy on energy technology in Washington, DC. I have enjoyed setting up roots...

Jake's 1580 SAT composite came partly from treating the math section like a language — learning the College Board's specific way of phrasing linear relationship questions, disguising percent problems, and burying geometry inside data tables. He now teaches students to decode that language, so the ma...

Heart-of-Algebra and Passport-to-Advanced-Math questions make up the bulk of SAT Math scoring, and Amanda treats them as two distinct skill sets that need different preparation strategies. She earned a 1550 composite on the SAT and now teaches students to translate word problems into equations quick...

Lindsay scored 1480 on the SAT and brings a math-heavy academic background — a biology degree plus a mathematics minor — to breaking down the SAT Math section. She zeroes in on the areas where students lose the most points, like translating word problems into equations and navigating the no-calculat...

Scoring a 1570 on the SAT himself, Yurok knows exactly where the College Board hides difficulty — the multi-step word problems in the calculator section, the tricky quadratic and systems questions in the no-calculator portion. As a physics and math double major at Emory, he doesn't just teach shortc...

I'm Annelisa, originally from Phoenix, Arizona. I recently graduated from Yale University, where I studied art and its interactions with political journalism and science. I'm happy to tutor on a wide range of subjects, especially writing, college application, and the SAT!

Scoring 1550 on the SAT herself, Emily knows the specific traps the math section sets — misread graphs, unnecessary information in word problems, and algebra shortcuts that save critical minutes. As a math major at Smith College, she teaches the underlying reasoning behind each problem type so stude...

I'm Liz! I'm so excited to help my students reach their academic goals. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Government and Performance and Communication Arts, and a Master's Degree in Chinese Politics. With a long academic career and lots of experience with standardized tests, I'm ready help prepare my st...

I'm currently finishing my final year at ASU's Honors College with a major in Creative Writing. I've worked in teaching and tutoring positions with everyone from first graders to college students. I just returned from spending my last semester studying in Prague, Czech Republic, travelling extensive...

I am here because I thoroughly enjoy working with students and watching them succeed in their academic studies. As a Mathematics major at the University of Arizona (currently a junior), I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring: I have been a teacher's assistant for a Calculus II section at ...
