Sharon
BA Wellesley College
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising senior at Wellesley College majoring in Music and American Studies. During my first year at college, I started tutoring students in grades K-12 at the Mathnasium center in Wellesley, MA. The following two years, I tutored my peers taking courses in American Popular Music, Jazz Music Theory, and Jazz History. Over the past two years, I've developed a passion for helping students pursue writing and research topics that reflect their identities and personal histories. By framing education as a lens through which to perceive themselves, students have been infinitely more engaged. I'm most passionate in tutoring topics related to music history, but interestedly, I've come to deeply appreciate and value writing, research, and analysis skills. Outside of the classroom, I play alto saxophone in a couple of jazz groups, read graphic novels, bake, knit/crochet, and am learning to skate on a longboard!

Will
BA Boston University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Biology, and a Pre-Medical concentration. Given this, my academic knowledge is obviously eclectic. In the past few years following my education, I have discovered a passion for teaching and currently work as an Instructor for Seven Hills Foundation. I have a straight-forward teaching philosophy which applies to each student as an individual learner. This helps to identify and clarify misunderstandings in the process rather than stumbling over information. I am able to teach in English and Writing, as well as across most maths and sciences, including Organic/Inorganic Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, and Calculus. I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and try to practice that philosophy daily. My other passion is music, as I play guitar and piano. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with friends and simple moments of relaxation.

Sydney
BA Carnegie Mellon University
8+ Years Tutoring

Creative writing might seem unrelated to SAT Math, but Sydney's 1600 SAT score speaks for itself — and her approach to the math section mirrors how she tackles a draft: strip every problem down to what it's actually asking, then build the solution step by step. She's especially sharp on the algebra-heavy word problems where students who can do the math still lose points because they misread the setup, a reading-comprehension trap her writing background makes her uniquely good at catching. Rated 4.9 by students.

Rob

Rob earned a 1580 on the SAT and approaches the Math section by categorizing every question into one of roughly a dozen problem archetypes — heart-of-algebra setups, passport-to-advanced-math manipulations, and data-analysis traps. Once a student recognizes the archetype, the solving strategy clicks into place almost automatically. That pattern-recognition method is especially effective for students who understand the math but lose points to pacing or misreads.

Ilya
BA Tufts University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a current sophomore at Tufts pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Physics, both of which I draw from in my tutoring philosophy. While I am a firm believer that each student requires a strategy specifically tailored to them, I have found that there are a few general strategies that students respond well to. I make it a point to ensure that students understand the conceptual jump from material they are comfortable with to the material they are currently learning. This makes it possible for them to both understand the material on a deeper as well as have a better idea of the direction they are going. I also subscribe to the theory that a relaxed environment is critical for a students learning, so I prioritize creating this environment in my tutoring sessions. Outside of academia, I am passionate about playing/performing/composing music (singing, piano guitar etc) and am a member of both the Ballroom Dance Team and the Table Tennis Club at Tufts.

Amy
Current Undergrad, Pharmacy Northeastern University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a current undergraduate student at Northeastern University working towards a pharmacy degree, while minoring in Biology and Chinese. I first started tutoring in high school through peer tutoring, working with students younger than me and tutoring them in subjects that I had excelled in. Besides helping them in purely academic subjects like Chemistry or Math, I also gave them tips to study better and other organizational skills, which help in daily life as well. I really enjoy working with students and working with them towards their goals, both academically and personally. I believe anyone can succeed as long as they are interested and are willing to put in the time and effort. When I work with students, I try to break down different problems into smaller chunks, and work through these smaller bits to understand the big picture. I know how frustrating it is to not understand something, and I try to work with each student to figure out their strengths and weaknesses. I think the most rewarding thing is when you see the student go "aha!" and understand something they have been struggling with, it really gives both of you a feeling of satisfaction and relief. Outside of school, I like to do ballroom dancing while drinking way too much coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent practice. Students who work with a tutor typically improve 50-100+ points by focusing on weak areas, mastering test-specific strategies, and building confidence with timed practice. Your personalized tutor will identify which concepts need the most work and create a study plan tailored to your goals.

Your first session focuses on understanding your strengths, weaknesses, and test goals. Your tutor will likely review a practice test or discuss which topics feel most challenging—whether that's algebra, geometry, data analysis, or test pacing. From there, you'll develop a customized study plan that targets your specific needs and fits your timeline before test day.

Pacing is one of the most common challenges SAT Math students face, especially on the harder problems. A tutor can teach you strategic approaches like identifying which problems to tackle first, when to skip and return, and how to manage the 75-minute time limit effectively. Regular timed practice tests help you build speed without sacrificing accuracy, and your tutor will help you find the right balance for your skill level.

Tutors typically start by reviewing your practice test results to spot patterns—whether you're struggling with specific topics like quadratics or trigonometry, or whether the issue is timing and careless mistakes. They may also work through problems with you to understand your thought process and identify conceptual gaps versus test strategy issues. This diagnostic approach ensures your study time focuses on what actually needs improvement.

Most students benefit from taking 4-6 full practice tests under timed conditions in the weeks leading up to test day. This builds stamina, helps you identify remaining weak areas, and reduces test anxiety through familiarity. Your tutor can recommend a practice schedule based on how much time you have and your current score, ensuring you're practicing strategically rather than just grinding through tests.

Absolutely. Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about problem-solving strategies, both of which tutoring directly addresses. As you master content and develop confidence with timed practice, anxiety naturally decreases. Your tutor can also teach you specific techniques like managing your pacing, staying focused, and building mental resilience during the actual test.

Look for tutors with strong math backgrounds, proven SAT success, and experience teaching test-taking strategies—not just math concepts. Ideally, they've helped multiple students improve their scores and understand the nuances of SAT Math question formats and timing. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in SAT prep and can demonstrate their track record with students.

Most students see solid progress with 2-3 tutoring sessions per week combined with independent practice between sessions. If you're starting 12+ weeks before test day, 1-2 sessions weekly may be sufficient; closer to test day, you might increase to 3-4 sessions. Your tutor will help you build a realistic schedule that balances tutoring, practice tests, and review based on your starting score and target improvement.
