Award-Winning SAT Math Tutors
serving St. Louis, MO

I am an undergraduate at Washington University, and I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love Pre-algebra, Calculus, Linear Algebra and everything in between! I have tutored for about four years and have worked with students of all ages. Most students come to me for Math, but I have also worked with students on SAT and ACT test prep, Statistics and Physics. Everyone learns in a slightly different way, and I love figuring out the best way to teach something to people individually and dig down to what questions they really need to have answered to understand the material. In my spare time, I like to go on long bike rides and explore St. Louis's restaurants. I also love baking, playing with dogs and cats, watching movies with my friends and playing soccer.

I am excited to help anyone who might need it!

A decade of teaching math and science bilingually in Ecuador gave Joy an unusually clear sense of how students misread SAT Math prompts — she treats each word problem as a translation exercise, training students to convert cluttered language into the clean algebraic setup hiding underneath. Her double major in biology and Hispanic literatures at Boston University meant constant toggling between quantitative and verbal reasoning, a combination that pays off on the SAT's data-interpretation and modeling questions where reading comprehension is half the battle.

Hola! Mucho gusto! I am a Spanish and Biology tutor with more than three years of tutoring experience currently living in Panama City, Panama. I teach beginner and intermediate Spanish, focusing on developing conversational and grammatical skills in a variety of real-life contexts. I enjoy developing personalized lessons to match each student's needs. My goal is for my students to be able to face any Spanish-related challenge with confidence, so I teach a wide variety of topics to help my students gain practical experience speaking Spanish. I graduated from Harding University with my degree in Biochemistry in May of 2026. I love biology and have experience tutoring a variety of high school and college biology classes. My research focus is on the role of microglial cells in neurodegenerative diseases. On a personal note, I spend much of my free time making art, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Political science at Michigan means Mahika spends her weeks buried in polling data, statistical models, and policy cost-benefit analyses — quantitative reasoning that overlaps heavily with the SAT Math section's percentage, table-reading, and real-world modeling questions. She zeroes in on the algebra-to-application gap, teaching students to convert the test's deliberately wordy setups into straightforward equations before solving, a skill she sharpened through two-plus years of tutoring math alongside test prep.

I am a graduate of Rockhurst University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with a minor in English Literature. Upon graduating, I became certified to teach both elementary education (grades 1-6) and English Language Arts (grades 5-9) in the state of Missouri. I have spent the past two years teaching seventh grade reading and writing, and I have loved every minute of it! Not only do I love helping my students understand new concepts in my subject areas, but I also really enjoy sharing literature, both classics and new fiction, with them in hopes it will foster a love of reading. I believe in the power of literature to spark critical thinking and help students make meaningful connections to their lives and the lives of others. It may come as no surprise that one of my chief hobbies is reading; I try to read fifty new novels every year, many of which I can then recommend to my students! I tutor a broad range of subjects, most notably English, Literature, and ACT/SAT Test Preparations, but regardless of what I am tutoring, my teaching philosophy and style stems from building relationships with my students. While I have a great innate desire to help the next generation learn and succeed, I realize that the first step to doing so is getting to know my students and their individual needs. Only then can I create truly meaningful, relevant, and applicable lessons and tutoring sessions that will help them learn and grow. My passion is to help students realize their potential as life-long learners and help them succeed as they navigate their educational paths.

Students in a six-year medical program don't get to be shaky on math — and Vijaya's 1550 SAT confirms that fluency carries over to standardized testing. She zeroes in on the geometry and trigonometry questions that many students under-practice, teaching quick sketch-and-solve techniques that turn abstract angle and circle problems into straightforward calculations. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

After earning a 1590 on the SAT, Daniel built a clear playbook for the math section that separates "concept" problems from "strategy" problems — because a student who knows the algebra can still lose points to time pressure or misread graphs. He walks through data-interpretation and word-problem translation techniques that turn careless errors into reliable points.

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 high on SAT Math means handling everything from passport-to-advanced-math questions involving quadratics and exponential functions to data analysis problems that test statistical reasoning. Edward earned a 1520 SAT and studies engineering at Michigan, so these concepts are part of his daily coursework. He pinpoints the specific question types a student struggles with — whether that's systems of equations or interpreting scatterplots — and drills those until the patterns click.

Three semesters teaching ESL gave Danielle an unusually sharp instinct for breaking down dense, wordy problems — a skill that pays off on SAT Math, where half the battle is translating a convoluted setup into a clean equation before any calculating begins. Her 1550 SAT and biology-to-med-school math background mean she's fluent in the geometry, statistics, and algebraic reasoning the test actually emphasizes. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring high on SAT Math requires knowing when a problem wants algebra and when it wants a shortcut — and the difference often hides in how the question is worded. Nikhil earned a 1540 SAT and an engineering degree, so he teaches students to read each problem strategically, especially on the no-calculator section where efficiency matters most.

Scoring 1570 on the SAT means Eric knows exactly where the test tries to trip students up — especially on the math side, where questions about quadratics, systems of equations, and data interpretation are designed to punish rushing. He breaks each problem type into a decision tree so students recognize what's being asked before they start calculating. That pattern-recognition skill is what separates a good math score from a great one.

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.

Kevin earned a 1550 SAT alongside his 36 ACT, so he knows exactly where the two math sections diverge — the SAT leans harder into multi-step word problems, data interpretation, and algebraic reasoning that rewards setting up equations carefully over grinding through calculations. He breaks down the no-calculator section's trickiest question types, like systems of equations and quadratic modeling, into repeatable strategies. His engineering training at Case Western Reserve keeps him sharp on every concept the test covers.

John's approach to SAT Math zeroes in on the difference between knowing algebra and knowing how the SAT tests algebra — things like rewriting equations to match answer choices or catching unit conversion traps in word problems. With a 1420 SAT and deep experience across calculus, geometry, and college algebra, he connects each practice problem to the specific concept being tested so students build real recognition, not just test-day luck.

I am especially passionate about reading, writing, and foreign languages. I hope to share my passion for knowledge with those around me.

I am a lifelong learner, teacher, and researcher in the field of physics. I received a PhD in Physics from the University of Michigan and a BS in Physics from Rice University. I have four years of physics teaching experience at the University of Michigan, primarily undergraduate laboratory courses with an emphasis on electromagnetism, circuits, waves, optics, and real-world applications of these and other physical phenomena. Many of these courses, including one I helped design, focused on helping non-STEM students master physics concepts that may be difficult to grasp in a standard classroom setting. I have tutored in a variety of subjects since high school, but most recently I have spent several years helping students understand concepts and succeed in coursework throughout a large variety of college-level physics topics, from basic mechanics to advanced electrodynamics and special relativity.
