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 ...

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 a...

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, tha...

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 questi...

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 analys...

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...

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....

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 oft...

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 Angel...

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 ...

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 e...

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. ...

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...
