Award-Winning SAT Tutors
serving Baltimore, MD

A perfect 1600 SAT scorer, Jamie knows the test inside and out — from the evidence-based reading passages that trip up strong readers to the no-calculator math questions that demand creative problem-solving. As a high school teacher in Philadelphia, she sees firsthand where students lose points and builds targeted strategies around those specific gaps. Her approach pairs section-by-section pacing drills with the analytical reading and writing skills she teaches every day in the classroom.

Scoring well on the SAT requires different strategies for different sections, and Yoonseo covers all of them — from algebraic reasoning and advanced math to evidence-based reading and grammar conventions. She spent four years tutoring math and English throughout high school and continues at Johns Hopkins, where her pre-med coursework keeps her quantitative and analytical skills sharp. Students get a single tutor who can diagnose weaknesses across the entire exam rather than just one piece of it.

Hi, my name is Sawyer! With 5 years of tutoring experience, my teaching philosophy centers on true mastery. I ask my students plenty of questions, because being able to explain your work is the clearest sign of real understanding. I also keep every session positive and encouraging, since I feel that positive reinforcement is one of the best tools for learning.

Christopher scored a 1410 on the SAT and approaches prep by breaking the test into learnable patterns — identifying trap answers in Evidence-Based Reading, catching grammatical structures the Writing section recycles, and building efficient strategies for no-calculator math problems. As a Johns Hopkins biology student, he brings sharp analytical reasoning to every section, particularly the data interpretation questions that trip up students who only study content.

Most SAT prep splits neatly into a "math person" or a "verbal person" — Nima covers both sides with equal depth, drawing on a physics degree that demanded rigorous quantitative problem-solving alongside the close reading and argumentation skills that earned a 1580 composite. On the math sections, he teaches students to spot the underlying structure of multi-step problems rather than relying on calculator shortcuts, and on the verbal side, he applies the same logical precision to breaking down evidence-based questions and grammar traps.

Hi, I'm Lavontria! I've tutored for 12+ years and scored in the 99th percentile on both the SAT and ACT. I'm finishing my PhD, and I tutor the SAT, ACT, GRE, plus math and science. I don't just say "study harder", I teach repeatable strategies, like finding a passage's main idea fast or spotting math shortcuts that save time. I pay attention to how your brain learns and teach to that. Wherever you're starting from, that's where we begin, no judgment. Let's build your confidence and your score.

I have been a STEM tutor to more than 60 students over the last 5 years, and I was always one of the first contacts at school when someone needed one-on-one help. As an Eagle Scout, I am prepared to go at whatever speed and help however is necessary for you to learn a topic. I will also help teach the accountability and discover the skills necessary to take up and apply future lessons at a deeper level so you can expand your knowledge beyond this course.

Fluency in four languages — French, Arabic, Hebrew, and English — trained Michael to spot the structural patterns underneath any test, and he applies that same pattern-recognition instinct to SAT prep. He scored a 1540 and teaches students to reverse-engineer both the Reading and Math sections by identifying what each question type is actually asking before jumping to answer choices. Rated 5.0 by students.

Physics education research at the University of Maryland taught Lee something most tutors learn the hard way — that students miss SAT math questions not because they can't do the algebra, but because they misread what the problem is actually asking. He applies that same diagnostic instinct to the Reading and Writing sections, where his extensive background in literature and writing sharpens his ability to teach passage structure and grammar logic. His 1490 SAT score backs up an approach built on understanding how the test thinks.

Hello! I am a current junior attending Johns Hopkins University studying a major of Molecular Biology with a focus on Computational Medicine. I've been tutoring for over six yearsstarting with math and Chinese lessons in my communityand have worked as a teacher's assistant for three years at a local elementary school. From private sessions to group instruction, I've discovered how much I love supporting students and helping them believe in their abilities. While having tutor a variety of subjects my most passionate subject are biology and math because they're like puzzleschallenging but extremely rewarding once you find the right approach. I strive to make learning engaging, encouraging, and approachable by using creative examples and adapting to each student's different and unique learning styles. In my spare time, I like to do a variety of odd crafts such as air clay or building bookshelf holders as well as listening to music while reading romance and action books!

I take time to make sure students understand the concepts on a deep level, and I encourage asking questions and having discussions about them. If you take the time to learn something well you will excel.

Covering both the verbal and math portions of the SAT requires a tutor comfortable across disciplines, and Penelope's university background in environmental science gave her equal practice with data analysis and writing research arguments. She tackles the Reading and Writing section by teaching students to identify how evidence supports claims, then shifts to the Math section with the same emphasis on understanding structure over memorizing formulas.

I graduated from the University of Rochester with a B.S. in Biology with Honors in Research and a B.A. in East Asian Studies, along with a minor in Clinical Psychology. I have three years of experience as a Biology II teaching assistant, where I led recitations, ran review sessions, and worked closely with students who needed extra support. I also spent three years as a writing tutor, helping students at all stages of the writing process. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is seeing that "aha" moment when things start to click and students become more confident in their abilities. I can tutor biology, chemistry, English, history, and beginner French or Chinese, as well as standardized test prep for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT. I believe that knowledge should be shared and that teaching future generations is one of the most meaningful ways to make a difference. Every student learns differently, so I focus on being both goal-oriented and flexible. I am constantly adjusting my approach to match each person's learning style during the session. I also like to help students build effective study routines, since I believe strong studying habits are essential to effective learning. Outside of academics, I enjoy cooking, hiking, listening to music, and playing video games.

Having recently taken the SAT herself and scored a 1550, Rhea knows exactly where the exam tries to trip students up — the no-calculator algebra traps, the evidence-pair questions designed to punish rushed reading, and the grammar rules that sound right but aren't. Her pre-med coursework at the University of Chicago keeps her quantitative and analytical skills sharp, which she channels into building section-specific strategies rather than generic test advice. Rated 4.8 by students.

Vivian scored a 1530 on the SAT while balancing a rigorous arts conservatory schedule at Juilliard, which means she knows how to build an efficient, high-impact study plan for students who don't have unlimited prep time. Her strength is teaching the verbal side — evidence-based reading and grammar questions — using the close-reading instincts she developed through her history degree and extensive essay work. Rated 4.9 by students.

Physics PhD work at Michigan required Michael to read dense technical passages, interpret data under pressure, and solve multi-step quantitative problems — which maps almost exactly onto what the SAT demands across both sections. He scored a 1570 and uses that experience to teach students how to navigate the math section's algebra and data analysis questions with the same systematic reasoning he applies to physics problems. His comfort with both verbal analysis and quantitative logic means students get full-test coaching without switching gears.

Scoring a 1550 on the SAT while juggling a dual PhD/MD track at Northwestern says something about efficiency under pressure — Chelain knows how to maximize points per minute on both the math and evidence-based reading sections. She breaks down SAT questions by what they're actually testing (inference vs. command of evidence, heart-of-algebra vs. passport-to-advanced-math) so students stop second-guessing and start recognizing patterns. Rated 5.0 by students.

Medical school admissions forced Nishad to master every section of the SAT on his way to a 1580 composite — and that full-test perspective means he coaches the Reading, Writing, and Math sections as one integrated strategy rather than three separate prep tracks. His premed science training sharpens his approach to data interpretation and graph-based questions, while his literature and essay background keeps the evidence-based reading instruction equally rigorous.

Law school at the University of Chicago sharpened exactly the skills the SAT rewards — picking apart dense passages under time pressure, spotting logical gaps, and choosing precise language over vague alternatives. Elena pairs that training with a perfect 1600 SAT score and a tutoring approach built around listening to students reason through problems so she can pinpoint the specific assumptions or misreadings costing them points. Her government, Spanish, and legal background gives her unusually natural command of both the verbal and quantitative sides of the exam.

What separates David's SAT approach is his computer science mindset — he treats the test as a system to decode, teaching students to spot the predictable logic behind both the math section's algebra and data problems and the reading section's evidence-based question structures. He scored a 1570 on the SAT himself and knows exactly where the exam rewards methodical process over intuition. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring a perfect 1600 on the SAT while studying sociology and anthropology means Lisa developed the verbal reasoning and data interpretation skills the test demands across both sections — not just one. She teaches students to recognize the grammar and rhetoric patterns that repeat in the Writing and Language module, then applies the same pattern-recognition mindset to Heart of Algebra and Problem Solving questions on the math side.

Keith's political science and history coursework at Williams built exactly the kind of dense, argument-heavy reading that mirrors SAT Evidence-Based Reading passages — he teaches students to trace an author's claim through supporting evidence and spot the distractor answers designed to punish skimming. His 1560 SAT score backs up a full-test approach that extends to the math and Writing & Language sections, where he emphasizes the repeatable grammar rules and algebraic setups that appear on every administration.

A perfect 1600 on the SAT gives Katie the credibility to break down every section — from evidence-based reading passages to no-calculator math — with the precision of someone who's mastered each one. She builds targeted strategies around timing, question types, and the specific traps the College Board designs into answer choices. Rated 5.0 by students, she also draws on her experience advising BS/MD applicants to put SAT prep in the context of a bigger admissions picture.

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.

Competition math experience and a 1540 SAT score give Tracy a particularly strong command of the Math section's trickiest problems — the ones that layer multiple concepts like systems of equations inside word problems or require nonstandard approaches under time pressure. She also brings native Mandarin fluency and an economics-trained reading style to the Evidence-Based Reading section, where she teaches students to trace an author's argument before touching the answer choices. Rated 4.9 by students.
