I'm looking forward to working with you!

I am a college sophomore at Brown University. I've been involved in tutoring and mentoring since high school, and I'm excited to get to continue with that work here on Varsity Tutors! My past experiences include working as an instructor at a math learning center for K-12 students, as well as private tutoring for middle and high school students. I would describe my teaching style as conversational; my goal is always to work with you to find a perspective on a topic that makes sense to you. I find that I like to I emphasize a concept's relevance and applications while providing explanations, as well as by providing useful practice scenarios or past examples.
The SAT Math section rewards students who can read a word problem, identify the underlying algebra or geometry, and execute cleanly under time pressure. Alexandra scored a 1510 composite and brings a scientist's precision to test strategy — she walks through each problem type, from systems of equations to scatter plot analysis, showing exactly which approach saves the most time.
Every SAT Math question falls into one of a handful of categories — linear relationships, quadratics, ratios, or data interpretation — and recognizing the category instantly is half the battle. Chandler scored a 1560 and uses that experience to drill pattern recognition so students spend their time solving, not figuring out what's being asked. He's rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring 1550 on the SAT gave Tyler a sharp sense of how the math section tests concepts — the way it buries straightforward algebra or coordinate geometry inside unfamiliar word problems designed to slow students down. He breaks questions into what they're actually asking versus what they look like they're asking, a distinction that consistently unlocks faster, more accurate problem-solving.
I'm always up for the challenge of changing my methods of instruction and breaking down topics to foster a deeper understanding of a subject. On a different note, I generally spend my spare time playing lacrosse or running outdoors when possible. I also play the violin with a school quartet, and teach lessons to beginning students working through the Suzuki program.
Majoring in both psychology and mathematics at UGA — with awards for her math coursework — Hailey brings genuine number fluency to SAT Math prep rather than just test-trick memorization. Her 1570 SAT means she's already conquered the section's trickiest passport-to-advanced-math questions, and she teaches students to recognize when a problem is testing exponential vs. polynomial reasoning so they pick the right approach before wasting time. Rated 5.0 by students.
Jennifer scored a 1520 SAT and brings particular strength to the Math section, where her background in calculus and quantitative coursework at Emory pays off. She digs into the specific algebra and advanced math concepts that make up the bulk of the test — systems of equations, quadratic modeling, and interpreting nonlinear functions. Her approach emphasizes recognizing problem structures so students can pick the fastest path to the answer.
Every SAT Math question can be solved in under 90 seconds if you spot the right approach — and that pattern recognition is exactly what Aditya teaches. His own 1580 composite came from treating each problem type as a category with a go-to strategy, an approach he now breaks down for students tackling everything from quadratic modeling to systems of inequalities.
I am a Biotechnology Master's Student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich. I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2018 while minoring in Biomedical Engineering. My passion is researching novel ways to use ethically derived induced pluripotent stem cells in both research and therapeutic environments, and I love to share my knowledge and excitement for science, math, and language with others.
Three science degrees from Harvard — including neurobiology — meant Marion spent undergrad buried in quantitative coursework, from statistics to research methods, building the kind of algebraic and data-analysis fluency the SAT Math section leans on heavily. Her 1540 SAT score confirms she knows how to execute under timed pressure, and her years teaching high school science give her a sharp eye for the conceptual gaps that cause students to second-guess themselves on ratio, function, and modeling questions. Rated 5.0 by students.
Scoring a 1510 on the SAT means Isabella has firsthand experience with the specific traps the math section sets — problems that look straightforward but require careful interpretation of word problems, data tables, or system-of-equations setups. She teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before touching their calculator, a habit that eliminates careless errors on the no-calculator section especially. Her MIT math degree ensures she can explain any concept that appears, from advanced algebra to passport-to-advanced-math topics.
I am able to relieve the stigma of certain subjects, especially math, in order for a student to perform well. I hope my work with different students is able to promote the importance of education!
I am a graduate of Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American History. I recently received my Juris Doctor degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and began my career as an attorney. I am passionate about continuing my work in education through tutoring. I enjoy tutoring many subjects, particularly History, SAT Reading and Writing, College Essays, and Spanish. I love assisting students in implementing simple but effective changes in their preparation for Standardized Tests that show immediate results. I find this motivates students to continue through struggles in their educational pursuits. When I am not working, I enjoy yoga, running, cooking, traveling and playing the cello.
I'm Rob, a 2015 Stanford Graduate and full-time writer living in Atlanta, Georgia. I have four years of experience tutoring and am excited to work with any students on SAT test prep, as well as any college or high school essay writing. Please reach out, and we will set up time for a session!
I'm Thomas, a sophomore Computer Science student at Georgia Tech. While I may be a STEM major at a tech school, I've always been skilled in reading and writing, never earning less than A in an English class throughout my academic career. If you're looking for someone with a high success rate in English, whether it be standardized testing or general writing, you're in the right place. In high school, I received a perfect score on the SAT writing section (only missed perfect on Verbal by 10 points), won first place in the UIL Regional Ready Writing Contest, and served as an editor on the school newspaper. While completing my university English requirement, I created an online tour stop for Atlanta's National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
I am an undergraduate at Rice University in Houston pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. I have both formal and informal tutoring experience: I worked as an assistant teacher in my high school's math department in Atlanta teaching geometry, algebra and pre-calculus to students over the summer. As an Academic Fellow at Rice, I provide academic assistance to my peers in the natural sciences, specifically chemistry and biochemistry. Although my studies are focused in STEM, I am a strong writer and I excel in helping students improve grammar and essay organization. Additionally, I have abundant experience in both standardized and AP testing. I am a friendly and empathetic person, and I want to do whatever I can to help other students succeed!
Philosophy majors spend their days pulling apart arguments to find the hidden structure — and Bruce applies that same logic-first instinct to SAT Math, particularly the word-heavy algebra problems where most points are lost before a student even picks up a pencil. His 1510 SAT means he's proven he can execute under real test conditions, and he teaches students to convert cluttered problem setups into clean, solvable equations by isolating exactly what the question demands.
Every SAT Math question falls into one of a handful of concept buckets — linear relationships, quadratics, ratios, or data analysis — and knowing which bucket you're in determines your approach. Jen scored a 1500 on the SAT and completed Georgia Tech's quantitative-heavy Honors Program, so she can quickly show students the underlying structure behind problems that initially look unfamiliar.
I am a student at Georgia State University Perimeter College, studying under the engineering degree program. I am officially a freshman, but I completed two years of Dual Enrollment during my junior and senior years of high school allowing me to have over 100 credit hours by the end of my freshman year. Topics I have studied include math Calculus (1, 2, multi-variable,, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra), and science (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Electrical Circuit Analysis), as well as Graphics & Design. I will be transferring to Georgia Tech in Fall 2016 where I plan to major in Biomedical Engineering and minor in sociology to supplement my teaching and human development skills.
Scoring a 1570 on the SAT means Tahmeed knows where the Math section hides its difficulty — not in advanced concepts, but in tricky wording around ratios, systems of equations, and data interpretation. He breaks down each problem type by identifying what the question is actually asking versus what it looks like it's asking. Rated 4.9 by students, he's especially effective at closing the gap between "almost there" and a top score.
I'm a 25 year old recent J.D. graduate of Georgia State College of Law. I attended Emory University for my undergraduate studies where I was awarded a double major in Political Science and History. Currently I am interning with CAIR as I prepare for the February Georgia Bar Exam.
I'm a Civil Engineering major, Sustainable Communities minor at Georgia Tech heading into my second year this fall. I love tutoring most subject, ranging from US Government to Algebra. In the past, the subjects that I have tutored the most are AP US Government and Reading. My tutoring method changes depending on the student, but I love to ask questions and make comparisons to other topics to provide a multidisciplinary understanding and make connections. My philosophy is to avoid memorization and promote understanding! I feel that students have more fun this way and will be better equipped to apply this information to their lives. Outside of the classroom, I am an avid Georgia Tech football fan (we're getting better, I promise!), traveler, and recycler!
I am an undergraduate student at Georgia Tech working towards a B.S. in Industrial Engineering. I specialize in tutoring algebra, geometry, and middle school math. I have experience tutoring kids from ages 11 to 14, and some of my favorite hobbies include: music, sports, food, and fitness.
I am an undergraduate student at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Neurobiology (B.S.) and minoring in Jazz Studies and Biomedical Physics. While I tutor many areas within math, science, and standardized test preparation, I am most passionate about biology and algebra because of my interest in these subjects as well as my belief in their importance. I have always been the friend who fellow peers go to for guidance with work and because of this, I have learned the value of patience, communication, and empathy in the education process. I firmly believe that every subject I tutor is vital in a student's path to success and a greater understanding of the world, and because of this, I will fully commit myself to making sure my tutees have a solid grasp of the concepts being taught as well as the ability to apply them to real-world situations.
I am here to help you succeed. But what does it mean to succeed? I think success is not simply a matter of knowledge or ability; it is also about attitude and confidence. Through working with me as your tutor, I hope to help you develop your confidence in your abilities and cultivate a positive attitude that allows you to tackle any challenge that comes your way.
Computer engineering coursework means Sasha solves systems of equations and manipulates polynomials the way most people read sentences — fluently and fast, which is exactly what the SAT's no-calculator section demands. She scored a 1570 on the SAT herself and uses that recent experience to teach students the specific time-saving setups for Heart of Algebra questions that separate a good score from a great one. Rated 4.9 by students.
Matthew earned a 1580 on the SAT and brings a systematic approach to the Math section that treats every problem type — from passport-to-advanced-math questions to data analysis — as a pattern to recognize rather than a puzzle to panic over. He's particularly sharp at teaching the algebraic shortcuts that save time on calculator-free problems.
Five attempts and a 1590 final score mean Jackson has reverse-engineered the SAT Math section thoroughly — he knows where the College Board hides difficulty in passport-to-advanced-math questions, how to shortcut systems of equations, and which calculator strategies actually save time. He brings that hard-won, test-specific knowledge directly into sessions. Rated 5.0 by students.
Burhanuddin scored a 1510 on the SAT and knows exactly where the math section tries to trip students up — especially on passport-to-advanced-math questions involving quadratic manipulation and systems of nonlinear equations. His physics training at Georgia Tech means he approaches every problem by identifying what's actually being asked before touching any algebra, a habit that eliminates careless errors under time pressure. Rated 5.0 by students.
Theater might seem unrelated to SAT Math, but Merav's 1560 SAT and magna cum laude Northwestern degree prove she's got serious quantitative chops — and her psychology minor means she understands why students second-guess correct answers or misread carefully worded problem setups. She zeroes in on the geometry and additional-topics questions that many prep plans underweight, teaching students to sketch diagrams and label constraints before solving so they stop losing points to misvisualized problems.
I am a rising junior in Cornell University in the College of Engineering. Currently, I am studying Computer Science and Education with the goal of becoming a high school teacher for Mathematics and Computer Science. I have educated others in a wide variety of age groups and settings from public schools to private tutoring to summer camps. With the rise of computer science and programming I have firsthand experience on what the future of someone pursuing that field is like and how to prepare and stay motivated in that field. In my time aiding students I saw that motivation and having a goal is the most important part of learning the subject and becoming a better student to help accomplish the set goal.
Applied economics at Emory means Jesse spends most of his coursework building and solving quantitative models — the same algebraic reasoning and data-interpretation skills that dominate the SAT Math section. His 1560 SAT confirms he knows how the test actually works, and he zeroes in on the geometry and advanced-math questions where students who are otherwise strong in algebra tend to leak points. Rated 4.9 by students.
Engineering coursework at Georgia Tech means Katherine solves problems involving algebra, data interpretation, and advanced math concepts every week. She applies that fluency to SAT Math prep by teaching students how to recognize which tool a problem is really asking for — whether it's setting up a system of equations or reading a scatterplot — so they stop second-guessing themselves under time pressure.
Finance majors live in quantitative reasoning — modeling, percentages, interpreting data — which maps neatly onto the SAT Math section's emphasis on real-world problem setups and statistical analysis. Rinky pairs that quantitative background with a 1520 SAT score, meaning she's already proven she can execute under the test's time pressure. She's especially sharp at teaching students to convert the SAT's wordy scenarios into clean algebraic expressions before solving.
Nikhil earned a 1530 on the SAT, and his math score reflects deep comfort with the algebra, advanced math, and data-analysis questions that dominate the section. He pinpoints the specific question types — quadratic modeling, systems of equations, or probability — where each student loses the most points, then builds targeted drills around those weaknesses. That diagnostic approach turns study time into actual score gains instead of aimless review.
I am a 3rd year bio major at GT with minors in biochemistry and computer science. My tutoring subjects are math, bio, and chem. I have tutored for a few years, and I have also TAed! My favorite subjects are general chemistry and molecular biology (: My personal belief is that anyone can enjoy a subject once they truly understand it.
Paula earned a 1520 SAT composite and brings a methodical approach to the Math section, especially the no-calculator portion where algebraic fluency and number sense matter most. She breaks problems into categories — linear equations, quadratic modeling, data interpretation — so students learn to recognize what's being tested before they start solving. That pattern-recognition skill is often the difference between a good score and a great one.
Finance majors live in algebra — modeling revenue, interpreting cost functions, building projections from linear and quadratic relationships — which means Vignesh drills SAT Math problems with the fluency of someone who uses these tools daily, not just for test prep. His 1530 SAT confirms he knows how to execute under timed pressure, and he's especially sharp at teaching students to avoid the calculation traps the College Board buries in "Problem Solving and Data Analysis" questions involving percentages and ratios. Rated 5.0 by students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement varies based on your starting point and commitment level, but most students who work with tutors see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice. Students starting around the national average (roughly 520 on the math section) often improve 50-100+ points by addressing their specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or problem-solving speed. The key is identifying exactly which topics are costing you points, then drilling those systematically rather than reviewing material you already know.
Timing issues usually stem from one of three things: struggling with specific question types, lacking test-day confidence, or attempting problems inefficiently. A tutor can help you develop a strategic approach—like tackling easier questions first to build momentum, knowing when to skip and return to harder problems, and recognizing which concepts you can solve quickly versus those requiring more setup. Practice tests under real timed conditions are essential; they help you calibrate your pace and identify which topics consistently eat up your time.
Start by taking a full practice test under timed conditions, then review every problem you missed or guessed on. Look for patterns—do most mistakes cluster around specific topics like quadratics, sequences, or data interpretation? Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can analyze your practice tests and pinpoint whether your struggles are conceptual (you don't understand the topic), procedural (you understand it but make calculation errors), or strategic (you understand the content but misread what the question is asking). This diagnosis determines what you actually need to study.
A realistic timeline depends on your starting score and target, but most students benefit from 4-6 months of consistent study. That typically means 5-8 hours per week if you're aiming for meaningful improvement—not cramming everything the week before. Effective study combines focused skill work (drilling weak topics), timed practice problems, and full-length practice tests spaced out over time. Working with a tutor helps you use that study time efficiently by eliminating wasted review on material you've already mastered and targeting the concepts actually holding back your score.
The biggest trouble spots are typically multi-step word problems (especially those requiring you to set up equations from context), questions with complex graphs or data tables, and problems testing reasoning rather than calculation. Students often rush through reading the question carefully or misinterpret what's being asked. The antidote is strategic practice: work through problems slowly, annotate what information matters, track which formats consistently confuse you, and review the reasoning behind both correct and incorrect answer choices. Tutors can walk you through your thought process on tricky problems and help you recognize question patterns you'll see on test day.
Test anxiety usually comes from one of two sources: unfamiliarity with the test format or lack of confidence in your math skills. The solution is familiarity and competence. Regular practice tests (not just problem sets) desensitize you to time pressure and build confidence. Strategic techniques help too—starting with easier questions to build momentum, taking a few deep breaths before difficult problems, and having a clear plan for skipping/returning if you get stuck. Working with a tutor gives you someone to practice with and receive encouragement from, which significantly reduces the overwhelm many students feel on test day.
Atlanta's 19 school districts serve nearly 93,000 students, and competition for top colleges is strong. SAT Math scores heavily influence college admissions and scholarship eligibility, making targeted preparation valuable. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring is especially beneficial because it addresses your individual gaps rather than a one-size-fits-all classroom approach. A tutor can accommodate your schedule, focus entirely on the concepts you struggle with, and provide the consistent feedback and accountability that drives real improvement. Varsity Tutors connects Atlanta students with expert tutors experienced in helping them hit their score goals.
