Two semesters of SAT prep mentoring through CollegeSpring gave Kiersten a clear picture of where students lose points on SAT Math: usually in translating word problems into equations and managing time on the no-calculator section. She scored a 1550 on the SAT herself and teaches specific techniques for setting up algebraic models quickly and checking answers without second-guessing.

Scoring 1590 on the SAT means Ari lost almost nothing on the Math section. He breaks down each problem type — from passport-to-advanced-math questions involving quadratics to data analysis and modeling — with the same clarity he brings to his primary subjects. Rated 4.9 by students.

Scoring 1570 on the SAT gave Naama firsthand insight into the specific traps the math section sets — problems that look like algebra but hinge on number properties, or geometry questions buried in word problems. She breaks down each question type so students learn to identify what's actually being asked before they start calculating.

Scoring a 1500 on the SAT, Michael knows where the math section sets its traps — especially in the no-calculator portion, where students must handle quadratic manipulation, systems of equations, and ratio problems by hand. He emphasizes strategic shortcuts, like back-solving from answer choices, that turn intimidating algebra into manageable arithmetic.

Ema earned a 1540 SAT, and her strength in the math section comes from the same algebraic reasoning she's been tutoring for years. She breaks SAT Math into its core skill areas — linear equations, data analysis, passport-to-advanced-math problems — and shows students how to identify what each question is actually asking before they start calculating. That strategic layer is often what separates a good score from a great one.

Most SAT Math questions aren't actually hard math — they're straightforward concepts wrapped in tricky phrasing. John, who scored a 1580 composite, teaches students to decode what each question is really asking before touching their calculator, turning problems in quadratics, ratios, and data analysis into the kind of puzzles they can solve in under a minute. His approach is especially effective for students who know the math but keep losing points to careless errors.

I am confident that by tailoring personalized learning sessions to individual student needs and giving students the resources and skills they need to succeed, any student can ace their next exam, get the best grade, or get into the college of their dreams.

Ten years of classroom teaching — including elementary math in 2nd and 5th grade — gave Claire a clear picture of the foundational gaps that come back to haunt students on SAT Math, especially in fraction reasoning, proportional setups, and translating word problems into solvable equations. Her 1530 SAT confirms she knows the test itself, and she uses that combination of teaching instinct and test fluency to rebuild shaky arithmetic habits before layering on the algebra and data-analysis strategies that move scores.

Pomona College's neuroscience program is surprisingly math-intensive — statistics, research design, quantitative data analysis — and Whitney channels that training into SAT Math prep by teaching students to think systematically through the section's problem-solving and data-interpretation questions. Her own 1480 SAT means she's been through the test recently enough to know which geometry and algebra setups reward careful reading over fast calculating, and she drills that discipline into her sessions.

I'm Katrina--a recent transplant to LA and also a recent grad of Yale University! Reading and writing have been integral to my life over the past few years as a Film and Media Studies and Sociology double major. I believe that crafting text can be a fun hobby and a very useful skill. Yet, it can often be challenging. I know what it is like to need help with schoolwork, and I know what it is like to provide that help for others. I believe that with patience and effort, we can solve any problem!

I am focused on improving fundamental study skills through a practical, hands-on approach. This includes imbedding real-world applications into every lesson to inspire students and spark their latent curiosity. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard in 2018 and currently live in Los Angeles, CA.

I'm pursuing, I am learning to paint, snowboard, golf, and am also learning to play the guitar. I just graduated from the professional program at Second City which provides invaluable skills in adapting to different students' styles and for keeping things light and fun; two things which math is not famous for.

Electrical engineering at Columbia means Zhenrui solves algebra and geometry problems under pressure daily — and his 1570 SAT confirms he knows how to do it within the specific constraints of this test. He's particularly effective on the passport-to-advanced-math questions involving polynomial and exponential functions, where his engineering instinct to check whether an answer makes physical sense catches errors that pure algebraic manipulation misses.

Brian scored 1580 on the SAT and knows exactly where the Math section tries to create confusion — multi-step word problems that test setup more than calculation, passport-to-advanced-math questions disguised as simple algebra, and data-interpretation problems that reward careful reading over speed. His Caltech training in economics and computer science means he can explain the underlying concepts behind every problem type, not just the shortcuts.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Virginia living in Los Angeles. While at UVA, I earned a 3.95 GPA and graduated my major program with Highest Distinction. I have eight years of tutoring experience (including starting my own tutoring program) and have worked with students of all ages. I'm looking forward to helping people with their studies in any way I can.

UC Berkeley's integrative biology curriculum throws a surprising amount of quantitative work at students — biostatistics, data modeling, experimental design — and Jack channels that daily math fluency into SAT prep, particularly the data-interpretation and problem-solving questions that require reading tables and graphs accurately under pressure. His 1590 SAT means he lost almost nothing on the math section, and he teaches students the specific habits that prevent careless errors on the algebra and geometry problems that look easy but are engineered to punish rushing.

Sarah earned a perfect 1600 SAT, and her approach to the Math section zeros in on the places where the College Board deliberately obscures straightforward concepts — quadratic word problems dressed up in unfamiliar contexts, or systems of equations hidden inside data tables. She walks students through how to decode what each question is actually asking before they ever pick up a pencil.

A bachelor's degree in mathematics gives Alexander fluency with every concept the SAT Math section covers, from systems of equations and quadratic modeling to the data analysis questions that catch many students off guard. He scored a 1570 on the SAT and knows which problem types reward algebraic shortcuts versus which ones demand careful setup. His sessions dig into the reasoning behind each solution so that unfamiliar variations of the same concept don't become stumbling blocks on test day.

I'm Jerome and I hope I can help in your academic journey. As someone who's received tutoring before, I hope I can help students, not only learn the subject matter, but the study and thinking skills to succeed academically. By learning the skills, you can gain the confidence to pursue other endeavors. Don't give up. Ask for help. We'll succeed together.

I am passionate about living life to the fullest and making a difference in the lives of others.

Every SAT Math section has a handful of problems designed to eat up time — multi-step word problems, passport-to-advanced-math questions with nested functions, or data tables that require setting up your own equation. Will scored a 1590 and teaches students to recognize these time sinks quickly and deploy efficient strategies so they finish with room to double-check.

I am a 2018 graduate of University of California Santa Barbara, with a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences through the Honors Program. I consider education to be tremendously important not just during development, but also throughout life. I believe it's critical to establish the right attitude toward learning; a feat that once accomplished can improve a student's long-term output in school. Education is an integral part of my career choice: I aspire to become a physician, a career intertwined with knowledge and education. However, teaching and learning are present in every career, and every part of life for that matter.

Philosophy grad work trains you to spot logical structure hiding inside messy language — which is exactly what Ben does with the SAT Math section's wordiest algebra and data problems, teaching students to strip a convoluted prompt down to the equation it's actually describing. His 1530 SAT means he's been through the test recently enough to know which question types reward careful reading over raw computation, particularly the multi-step linear relationship setups that punish students who start calculating too early.

Judy took Differential Equations and multiple statistics courses as electives at Rice purely for fun — that kind of genuine math obsession shows up in how she teaches SAT Math, especially the algebra and data-analysis questions where students need to move quickly between concepts. Her 1520 SAT means she's already proven she can perform under the test's time pressure, and she channels years of competition math instincts into showing students which problems reward careful setup and which ones have a faster backdoor solution.

Chris scored a perfect 800 on SAT Math, so he knows exactly where the test tries to trip students up — especially on nonlinear functions, systems of inequalities, and the no-calculator section's emphasis on algebraic fluency. He walks through each problem type with an eye toward recognizing shortcuts the test designers build into the answer choices. Rated 4.8 by students.

The SAT Math section rewards strategic thinking as much as computation — knowing when to backsolve, when to plug in values, and when to set up an equation from scratch. Megan's 1500 SAT composite and her statistics coursework at Michigan give her a sharp eye for the algebraic and data-analysis concepts that dominate the test. She zeroes in on the question types each student loses points on and drills those patterns until they click.

I'm now a first year fellow studying Policy Analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.

I am hoping to start law school next fall. Before I lose another three years of my life to academia, I hope to spend the time I have now to help students get the grades and marks they need to reach the schools of their dreams. I've been on the "treadmill" and I know how brutal the educational arena can be. Thus, I find great satisfaction in being able to help people who were in similar situations as myself. I have extensive experience in tutoring from two previous positions in which I taught in both a classroom setting and a one-on-one setting. Regarding the subjects I have taught- I am familiar with math all the way up to Algebra 2 (including SAT Math), I have helped many students prepare for the SAT and ACT, I am very familiar with the LSAT, and I can assist students with Literature and Writing as well. In my experience with tutoring, I have found that students can often learn best when the instruction is tailored to their needs. Each student has unique strengths and weaknesses, and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to play on those strengths and weaknesses in order to bring out the best performance from the student. Although law is still my passion, I've found that I truly enjoy teaching; the friendships I've developed and the lessons I've learned are invaluable, and within this next year, I hope to help as many students as possible. Outside of teaching, I like watching a good UFC fight now and then, and I am shamelessly addicted to the NBA and all its glory. I have an insatiable appetite for good music, films, art, and of course, food, and I love experiencing and learning about different cultures, religions, and views. Lastly, I think the cheeseburger is the greatest invention man has ever made, and I am forever in pursuit of the best burger in L.A.

I'm aware of what areas of the Spanish language are most difficult for English speakers and how to effectively navigate challenging concepts. In addition to leading larger groups of students, I also tutored individuals who were struggling in the classroom. In high school, I was a National Merit Scholar and National AP Scholar, and I am very familiar with test preparation strategies for the Reading and English portions of these exams. My personal teaching philosophy is that every student deserves a study strategy that adapts to their own needs, strengths and abilities.

I am a certified ESL instructor with bachelor's and master's degrees in linguistics. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois in 2006, and my Master of Arts from the Graduate University of Applied Linguistics in Dallas, Texas in 2012. My teaching experience includes one year of teaching elementary classes in South Korea (2009-2010), one year of teaching all ages at a private school in Japan (2013-2014), and one year of teaching adult classes in Pasadena, California (2014-present). I have also tutored students in a variety of subjects and grade levels. In addition to ESL, I offer tutoring in reading, writing, grammar, and test prep for the ACT, SAT, and TOEFL. I love teaching because it allows me to use my passion for language to help other people. I believe that we should always be learning, and that learning should be wonderful and exciting. I strive to inspire my students to curiosity and guide them towards independence in their education. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going out for coffee with friends, and occasionally going dancing.

Most SAT Math mistakes aren't about not knowing the math — they're about misreading the setup or choosing a slow solution path under time pressure. Kellie, who earned a 1520 SAT composite, teaches students to spot when a problem is testing quadratic reasoning versus systems of equations and to pick the fastest route to the answer. Her emphasis on deliberate practice builds the pattern recognition that turns a good score into a great one.

Gabriel's 1500 SAT means he's already proven he can perform under the test's time pressure, but what makes his math tutoring click is a science-trained habit of asking *why* a solution works — not just confirming the answer choice. He digs into the algebra and problem-solving questions by teaching students to sketch relationships before calculating, turning abstract setups into something visual and concrete. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently a student at Ithaca College pursuing a degree in physics. I am very passionate about math and science especially, and I have found that teaching students is another passion. I have experience tutoring high school students in areas including algebra, algebra 2 and AP Physics 1. I love working with students to help them achieve their goals, and finding exactly what teaching style works best for which students.

Every SAT Math question belongs to one of a few content buckets — linear equations, quadratics, ratios, or data analysis — and each bucket has predictable traps. Dorothy digs into those patterns with students, showing them how to recognize a disguised quadratic or a percent-change trick before it costs them points. Her own 1440 SAT score backs up the approach.

I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology and played four years of Division 1 soccer. I will be attending medical school in Fall 2019 at Creighton University. With 7 years of tutoring under my belt, 4 of which included working as a peer tutor for LMU Athletics, I have developed a strong passion for assisting others inside and out of the classroom to reach successful academic goals. I believe having a strong foundation in education is important for future success in our careers and relationships. As a STEM major, I have focused on tutoring in math and sciences as I enjoy working through problems with my students in an engaging manner and finding which methods work for them. Along with tutoring, I am a licensed EMT and perform clinical oncology research for UCLA. In my spare time, I enjoy running, working out, reading, and playing soccer.

The SAT Math section recycles a surprisingly narrow set of algebra and geometry patterns — and as a current math major who scored a 1540, Nathan knows exactly which ones carry the most weight. He zeroes in on the quadratic and linear relationship questions that dominate the test, teaching students to recognize problem types on sight so they spend less time figuring out what to do and more time actually doing it.

Julia scored a 1490 on the SAT and considers math her favorite subject to teach because of its precision — every answer can be proven correct. She digs into the specific algebra, data analysis, and problem-solving patterns that appear most often on SAT Math, building speed through targeted practice rather than generic drills.

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.
