I'm a hiker, a reader, a giant nerd, and full of terrible jokes that will (shockingly) make tutoring fun.

Jude's 1590 SAT came from an applied-math mindset: every problem has a structure, and finding it is faster than brute-force calculation. He digs into the higher-difficulty questions — passport-to-advanced-math items involving polynomial division, complex equation manipulation, and data interpretation — where most students lose the points that separate a good score from a great one.
Scoring a 1570 on the SAT means Paul knows the test's math section inside and out — including the specific traps the College Board sets around quadratic word problems, data interpretation, and passport-to-advanced-math questions. He teaches students to recognize question types quickly and deploy the fastest solution path, whether that's back-solving, plugging in values, or setting up equations from scratch. That strategic layer is what separates a good math student from a high SAT Math scorer.
Scoring a 1550 on the SAT while majoring in mathematics at Brown means Zofia knows this material from both sides — the test-taking strategy and the deep mathematical reasoning behind it. She zeroes in on the areas where students lose points most often, like interpreting nonlinear models in context or navigating multi-step word problems under time pressure. Her approach turns careless mistakes into reliable points.
I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching students in ways that engage them rather than frustrate them, which I apply to my teaching. I have tutored high school students in a drop-in resource center in various subjects including math of all levels, chemistry, and English, making me adequately equipped in a variety of topics. I have also tutored several students long-term. Establishing relationships with students and exploring their unique learning styles is my favorite part of tutoring. I prioritize helping students discover HOW to learn in a manner that is the most effective for them, so they can begin to use those skills on their own throughout their education. Learning is a lifelong skill that requires practice for improvement; I strive to help my students gain confidence in their ability to learn.
I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry as well as MCD (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental) Biology while minoring in Chemistry in 2015. I love exploring all of the cool things that this world has to offer. By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge.
I am not tutoring, I am studying to be an EMT. I also love backpacking and adventuring.
Rohith scored a 1480 on the SAT and brings particular strength to the math section's trickiest territory — quadratics, systems of inequalities, and the data-analysis questions that trip up students who rely on calculator shortcuts. He breaks each problem type into a decision tree so students know which approach to reach for before they even pick up a pencil.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Master of Science in Animal Nutrition. I received my Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences from Cornell University. While I tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring math and feel that our school systems often fail students when it comes to math. I do not believe that some people simply "can't do math." I believe that some may need extra time and help, but everyone can do math. With patience and hard work, any student can learn. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish, which I have studied since I was in elementary. During undergrad, I even studied abroad in Barcelona and lived with a host family. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, TV/movies, and knitting.
Computer science at KU means Austin solves problems algorithmically — break the task into steps, check each one, optimize for speed — which is exactly the mindset that pays off on SAT Math's multi-step algebra and geometry questions. He scored a 1410 on the SAT and uses that recent experience to teach students which problem types reward careful setup versus which ones have fast backdoor solutions like plugging in answer choices. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am currently a Masters student in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. Previously, I had attended the Colorado School of Mines earning a bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics. I aspire to become a professor of Buddhist philosophy integrating contemplative studies with rigorous scientific and formal logics. Apart from scholastic endeavors, I spend much of my time wandering the Colorado mountains, practicing the piano, and studying the world around me.
Scoring 1430 on the SAT herself, Melissa knows firsthand how the math section tests familiar concepts in unfamiliar ways — a quadratic that looks like a word problem, or a data table hiding a linear relationship. She walks students through the specific algebra, function, and data-analysis skills that appear most often, building speed alongside accuracy.
Annie scored a 1410 on the SAT while still in college, so the test's algebra-heavy question style and time pressure are fresh in her memory — she knows which problem types reward careful setup and which ones reward speed. Her dual focus on math and Spanish education at CU Boulder means she's trained to actually teach concepts like systems of equations and quadratic modeling, not just solve them herself. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am available to tutor in a broad range of subjects, though I am most passionate about Economics, History, and Civics. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to arrange a session.
Scoring a 1570 on the SAT, Joey knows the Math section inside and out — from the no-calculator questions that test algebraic fluency to the data-analysis problems that reward careful reading. He teaches students to recognize question patterns and avoid common traps, turning timed practice into a strategic exercise rather than a frantic race.
Violet's 1550 SAT and her math degree from Brown mean she can diagnose exactly where a student's algebra or data analysis gaps are costing them points on SAT Math. She teaches the handful of non-obvious techniques — backsolving, strategic plugging-in, unit analysis on word problems — that turn 650-range scores into 750+ scores. Her style leans heavily on shortcuts that make the no-calculator section feel less like a time crunch.
David scored a 1570 SAT and brings a computer scientist's precision to the Math section, particularly the no-calculator portion where algebraic fluency and number sense matter most. He emphasizes understanding why a technique works — whether it's completing the square or setting up a system of equations — so students can recognize which tool fits each problem without second-guessing.
Scoring high on SAT Math requires knowing when a problem wants algebra and when it wants a shortcut — and the difference often hides in how the question is worded. Nikhil earned a 1540 SAT and an engineering degree, so he teaches students to read each problem strategically, especially on the no-calculator section where efficiency matters most.
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.
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.
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'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.
Computational biology PhD applicants don't just do math — they build models, interpret data, and stress-test assumptions, which is exactly the mindset Max brings to SAT Math's problem-solving and data-analysis questions. His 1580 SAT means he's already cracked the test at near-ceiling level, and his biology research background makes him especially sharp on the scatterplot, table-reading, and experimental-design problems that feel foreign to students who've only seen math in a textbook. Rated 5.0 by students.
Years of music performance training — sight-reading, pattern recognition, working under pressure — gave Vivian an unusual edge on timed math tests, and her 1530 SAT backs that up. She's especially sharp on the algebra-to-geometry crossover questions where students need to visualize what an equation actually represents, a skill she builds by teaching students to sketch before they solve. Rated 4.9 by students.
Getting past 700 on SAT Math usually comes down to a handful of concept areas: advanced function behavior, systems of equations with no solution, and data analysis questions that blend statistics with algebra. Rhea earned a 1550 SAT and pinpoints exactly which of these areas are costing a student points, then drills those gaps with real College Board problems rather than generic practice sets. Her biology and pre-med coursework at UChicago keeps her math skills sharp through daily quantitative work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice. Many students improve by 50-100+ points by working with a tutor to identify weak areas, master test-specific strategies, and build confidence with timed practice. The key is focusing on your individual gaps rather than trying to study everything at once.
Most students struggle with pacing because the SAT Math section requires both accuracy and speed—you have about 1.4 minutes per question. A tutor can help you develop strategic approaches like identifying which problems to tackle first, when to skip and return, and how to avoid getting stuck on harder questions. Practice tests under timed conditions are essential for building the rhythm you need on test day.
The best way is to take a full-length practice test under timed conditions, then review your results by topic (algebra, advanced math, problem-solving, geometry, etc.). A tutor can analyze your practice test data to pinpoint patterns—whether you're missing easy questions due to careless errors, struggling with specific concepts, or running out of time. This targeted approach is much more efficient than reviewing everything.
Yes—the SAT uses multiple-choice and student-produced response (grid-in) questions, and each format requires slightly different strategies. Multiple-choice questions let you use answer choices to your advantage, while grid-in questions demand careful work since there's no option to check your answer. A tutor can teach you format-specific tactics and ensure you're comfortable with both before test day.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about whether you can handle the material or the time pressure. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence by helping you master concepts, practice under realistic test conditions, and develop a clear strategy for test day. Knowing you've prepared thoroughly and practiced similar problems repeatedly is one of the most effective ways to calm your nerves.
A typical timeline is 2-4 months of consistent preparation, with 3-5 hours per week of focused study. If you're starting further from your goal score or have significant gaps, you may benefit from a longer timeline. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule based on your current score, target score, and test date—and adjust as you progress through practice tests.
Practice tests do two critical things: they help you identify your weak areas and they train you to work under the exact time and pressure conditions of the real test. Taking full-length, timed practice tests every 1-2 weeks lets you track improvement and get comfortable with the test's rhythm and question patterns. Your tutor can review each practice test with you to extract maximum learning from every attempt.
