Risha
Certified SAT Tutor
Risha
BA University
4+ Years Tutoring

Studying chemical engineering at Georgia Tech means Risha lives in the quantitative reasoning and data analysis that dominate the SAT Math section — she teaches students to translate word problems into equations quickly and spot the algebraic shortcuts that save time under pressure. Her experience tutoring English and writing at a high school drop-in center also means she can coach the Reading and Writing side without skipping a beat. She scored a 1520 on the SAT and holds a 5.0 rating.

Rohith
BA University
5+ Years Tutoring

Rohith scored a 1480 on the SAT, with particular strength in the math section where his background in calculus and discrete math gives him a sharp eye for the reasoning traps the College Board builds into quantitative problems. He also tackles the reading and writing sections by teaching students how to eliminate answer choices using evidence from the passage — a skill he honed through his own work in literature and essay writing.

Paul
BA University
9+ Years Tutoring

What separates a 1500 from a 1570 on the SAT often comes down to the handful of questions designed to punish rushing — Paul knows those traps well, having earned a 1570 himself. His background spans both the quantitative and verbal sides of the exam, with particular depth in math and Latin-rooted vocabulary that gives him a structural advantage when teaching students to decode unfamiliar words in context. He also coaches the college essay process, so he understands the bigger admissions picture that motivates students to push for every point.

Jude
BA Colorado School of Mines
5+ Years Tutoring

Most SAT points are lost not on hard questions but on avoidable mistakes — misreading a graph, rushing through a no-calculator problem, or second-guessing an evidence pair. Jude, who scored a 1590, treats prep as a physics-style diagnostic: isolate the variable causing errors, then drill it until the fix becomes automatic. His applied physics training at Colorado School of Mines means the math section is second nature, freeing up strategy time for the reading and writing side.

Eric
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

Philosophy trained Eric to tear arguments apart — find the assumption, test the logic, spot the flaw — which is exactly what the SAT's Evidence-Based Reading questions demand. He scored a 1560 and applies that same analytical precision to the Writing and Language section, where grammar and rhetoric questions reward students who can articulate *why* one answer choice is structurally better than another. His additional strength in math means he covers the full exam without switching gears.

Zofia
BA Brown University
1+ Years Tutoring

Having gone through the IB diploma program and then a rigorous math degree at Brown, Zofia knows how to reverse-engineer a standardized test — she scored a 1550 on the SAT and teaches students the specific algebra, data analysis, and grammar patterns that repeat across sections. Her science coursework also sharpens her approach to evidence-based reading questions, where extracting conclusions from dense passages is essentially what she did in lab reports for four years.

Sociology taught Lena to pull arguments apart — find the claim, weigh the evidence, spot the logical gaps — which is exactly what the SAT's Reading section demands on every passage. She scored a 1470 on the exam and uses that same analytical lens on the Math side, where translating word problems into solvable setups is more about careful reading than advanced math.

Jasmyn

10+ Years Tutoring

Cornell undergrad, Kentucky master's, and years of studying Spanish since elementary school — Jasmyn's academic range mirrors what the SAT actually demands, where students jump from algebraic reasoning to passage analysis to grammar rules within a single sitting. She scored a 1410 on the SAT herself and uses that experience to teach pacing and section-switching strategies, particularly for students who are strong in math but lose points on the verbal side (or vice versa). Her conviction that anyone can learn math carries over to test prep: she builds confidence by targeting the specific question types where each student stalls.

Cody
MS Naropa University • BA Colorado School of Mines
9+ Years Tutoring

The SAT rewards a specific kind of disciplined thinking — reading precisely under pressure, translating word problems into clean algebra, and catching grammar traps that sound right but aren't. Cody's Engineering Physics training at Colorado School of Mines built exactly that rigor on the quantitative side, while his graduate work in Religious Studies sharpened the close-reading and argument-analysis skills that drive the Evidence-Based Reading section. He scored a 1440 on the SAT and knows how to coach both halves of the exam from firsthand experience.

She also brings her English teaching certification to the verbal side, breaking down evidence-based reading questions and command-of-evidence prompts so students stop second-guessing between the last two answer choices.

What separates a good SAT score from a great one is often section-level strategy — knowing when to skip and return, how to eliminate two answers fast on evidence-based reading pairs, and where the math section rewards algebraic setup over calculation. Arthur scored a 1490 and teaches the exam as a system of repeatable decisions, drawing on his economics training to approach data interpretation and graph-based questions with particular precision. His 36 ACT composite confirms he knows standardized testing inside and out.

Northwestern's Honors Program in Medical Education accepted Anna straight out of high school, which meant she had to master the kind of disciplined, high-stakes test-taking that the SAT demands — and her 1590 score reflects that. She teaches students to treat the math section's word problems as logic puzzles and coaches a systematic elimination approach on the Reading and Writing passages that cuts through ambiguity under time pressure.

Comparative literature trains you to read closely across genres, registers, and rhetorical styles — exactly the skill set the SAT's Evidence-Based Reading section demands when it throws a paired science passage next to an 18th-century political argument. Cassandra pairs that background with a perfect 1600 SAT score, meaning she knows how to turn deep reading instincts into points under timed conditions. She also covers the Writing and Language section by teaching the specific grammar and usage rules the test cycles through, drawing on her Latin and Spanish fluency to make sentence structure feel intuitive.

Her 1560 SAT score also reflects real strength on the Reading side, where she teaches students to trace an author's argument through paired evidence questions. She rounds out prep on the math sections with a focus on translating word problems into solvable setups.
