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 not tutoring, I am studying to be an EMT. I also love backpacking and adventuring.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scoring well on SAT Math often comes down to recognizing which tool a problem is really testing — is it a systems question disguised as a word problem, or a quadratic hidden in a table? Astoria's 1530 SAT composite and science-heavy coursework at WashU give her sharp instincts for the algebraic and data-analysis concepts that dominate this section. She teaches students to read problems strategically so they spend less time second-guessing their approach.
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.
Scoring 1550 on the SAT herself, Nina knows the specific traps the math section sets — misleading answer choices on quadratic problems, tricky unit conversions, and data-interpretation questions designed to punish rushing. She teaches students a systematic approach to each question type so that pacing and accuracy improve together. Her statistics training also gives her an edge on the data-analysis questions that many tutors treat as an afterthought.
I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.
Richard scored a 1600 on the SAT and spent a year as a calculus course assistant at Harvard, so the math on this test — from quadratic modeling to data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math questions — sits well within his comfort zone. He breaks down each problem type by identifying what concept the College Board is actually testing beneath the word-problem packaging. That pattern recognition is what turns a 700 into a 780 or higher.
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 SAT himself, James knows exactly where the SAT Math section sets its traps — the passport-to-advanced-math questions that bury quadratic relationships in word problems, or the data-analysis questions that test statistical reasoning more than arithmetic. He breaks each problem type into a recognition step and an execution step so students stop second-guessing themselves under time pressure. His calculus and chemistry background means no student's question goes beyond his reach.
Scoring a 1590 SAT means Anna has already dissected every question type the Math section throws at students — from no-calculator algebra and systems of equations to data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math problems involving polynomials and exponentials. She teaches efficient strategies for avoiding trap answers and managing pacing across both calculator and no-calculator modules.
I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
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 recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

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.
