She scored a 1520 on the SAT herself and applies that same analytical rigor to the math sections, where translating word problems into solvable equations comes naturally to someone trained in Latin grammar and formal logic.

A 1510 SAT scorer with a humanities-heavy background, Jordan is especially sharp on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections — breaking down how the test uses paired passages, command-of-evidence questions, and rhetoric analysis to trip students up. He also tackles the math side with a focus on the word-problem-heavy questions where reading comprehension and algebra intersect, which is exactly where many students leave points on the table.

Teaching ancient history to fifth graders through Teach for America sharpened Julia's ability to make dense, complex texts accessible — exactly the skill that pays off on the SAT's Evidence-Based Reading passages, where students need to quickly parse arguments from unfamiliar sources. Her 1510 SAT score and background in European history at Smith give her particular command of the passage types and rhetorical structures the College Board favors. She also covers the Writing and Language section by teaching grammar as a set of logical rules rather than a list to memorize.

Studying psychology and education at Yale taught Stephen how to read dense, argument-driven texts quickly and extract exactly what matters — the same skill that separates a good SAT Reading score from a great one. He scored a 1500 on the SAT and uses that experience to teach students how to spot evidence-pair traps, tighten pacing on the Writing and Language section, and avoid the algebraic missteps that cost easy points on the Math side.

Having earned his math degree through Central Connecticut State's School of Education, AJ knows both the content and the teaching side of SAT prep — particularly the algebra, data analysis, and problem-solving questions that make up the bulk of the Math section. He scored a 1430 on the SAT himself and uses that experience to teach students specific pacing and elimination strategies across both sections. His education training also means he adapts explanations on the fly rather than running through a one-size-fits-all script.

I love participating in learning with other people. This is why I have been a high school teacher for 20 years and why I am a tutor now. One of my major skills as a tutor is breaking down skills and concepts into small parts to identify exactly where someone is struggling. I can do this with organization and learning needs, too, not just math and English content. I am also versatile and flexible; I can work on all sorts of content and handle unknown problems. I can teach you how to do that, too. I also have a great deal of experience working with students with special needs. I have been trained in some workshops, but I have only experience, not a license, in this area.

Most SAT prep treats the Reading and Math sections as completely separate skill sets, but Emily's science training at Yale — where she spent years parsing dense research literature and working with data — means she teaches both sides of the exam as exercises in precise interpretation. She scored a 1550 on the SAT and builds her coaching around the specific reasoning habits that earned it: identifying exactly what a question asks before touching the answer choices, and translating word problems into structures rather than guessing at operations. Rated 5.0 by students.

What separates a 1500+ SAT score from a 1300 often isn't knowledge — it's knowing how the test tries to trick you. Joey scored a 1570 and built his prep approach around identifying those traps, particularly the algebra and data-analysis questions on the Math section where careful reading matters as much as calculation. His theater training at Columbia also sharpened the close-reading and rhetorical analysis skills that pay off on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections.

What makes John effective for SAT prep is that he teaches both halves of the exam with equal fluency — his English and drama training sharpens his approach to passage analysis and evidence-based reading, while his math and physics background means he handles the algebra, data interpretation, and problem-solving sections without switching gears. He scored a 1420 on the SAT himself and holds a perfect 36 ACT composite, so he knows how standardized tests are constructed and where they try to trip students up.
