Michael
BA University
6+ Years Tutoring

Philosophy trained Michael to spot logical structure in messy arguments, and he applies that same instinct to SAT Math — especially the word-heavy algebra problems where most points are lost before a student even picks up a pencil. His neuroscience background at Scranton means he's comfortable with the data-interpretation and statistics questions that round out the test, and his 1440 SAT confirms he knows the pacing and traps firsthand. Rated 4.9 by students.

Matthew

8+ Years Tutoring

Matthew scored a 1580 on the SAT, and his approach to the Math section is built around recognizing which of the ~15 recurring problem types you're looking at before you start solving. He's particularly effective at demystifying the harder passport-to-advanced-math questions — quadratic and exponential reasoning, systems with no solution — that separate a 700 from an 800. His background as the child of two math professors means explaining quantitative concepts clearly is practically genetic.

She breaks the section into concept clusters like functions, ratios, and data analysis so students know exactly where their weak spots are.

I am a college instructor with ten years experience in the classroom as a teacher and tutor. Originally from South Carolina, I went to school in Pennsylvania and currently live in Alabama. I believe that students learn best through practice and approaching learning through a relaxed lens, thinking about the larger, structural questions behind their concerns in order to gain a broader and more inclusive understanding of the subject matter. My tutoring philosophy stems from the belief that students and tutors are peers, and that collaboration is the best means for students to learn, not just reciting or memorizing what I might suggest. Working together, and making sure students take ownership and pride in their work, leads to a stronger educational foundation, both in our tutoring sessions and the student's future.

I'm a recent college graduate living in West Philadelphia. I graduated from Oberlin College in May of 2015, where I majored in Environmental Studies and minored in Politics. I love to play music, dance, make art and play basketball with my friends. I'm passionate about youth education and mentoring and I think everyone deserves the opportunity for a quality education. I have been tutor with Varsity Tutors for over a year, and volunteered as a tutor with the National Honor Society and Let's Get Ready - an organization that offers free SAT-prep for underserved youth. I love to tutor in social studies, humanities, and life sciences, and have a lot of experience in tutoring for AP and SAT tests. My basic outlook on education is that 1. Everyone is intelligent and capable of learning 2. People have diverse interests and passions 3. Everyone learns in a unique way. If we spend our time following our passions and figuring out what learning style works best for us, than our education can be transformative. One of the primary problems of our education system is the lack of individualized learning time, and personal relationship building between teacher and student. I think we tend to use a one size fits all approach with education because our schools and teachers don't have the time or resources to respond to the needs of every student. I believe that 1-on-1 tutoring, mentoring and education is essential for developing learning practices that are effective for you. I'm excited to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation. Many students improve by 50-100 points, though larger improvements are possible with focused work on weak areas. A tutor can identify exactly which concepts are holding you back—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy—and create a targeted plan to address them.

The biggest challenges are usually pacing (running out of time), misunderstanding question formats, and gaps in foundational algebra or geometry concepts. Many students also struggle with the shift from classroom math to standardized test thinking—where you need to work efficiently and avoid careless errors. A tutor can help you build speed through practice, teach strategic shortcuts, and shore up any conceptual gaps before test day.

Your first session focuses on assessment and planning. A tutor will review your current SAT Math skills, discuss your target score, and identify your specific weak areas—whether that's word problems, geometry, or time management. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan with clear milestones and practice strategies tailored to your learning style.

Practice tests are essential—they help you understand the test format, build stamina, and identify patterns in the types of questions you struggle with. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions also reveals your pacing issues and helps you develop strategies to manage time better on test day. Your tutor can review your practice test results to pinpoint exactly which concepts need more work.

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about strategies. Working with a tutor builds genuine confidence by ensuring you understand the material and have practiced extensively under realistic conditions. Tutors also teach mental strategies—like breaking problems into steps, taking deep breaths, and knowing when to skip and come back—that help you stay calm and focused during the test.

Look for tutors with strong math backgrounds and proven experience helping students prepare for standardized tests. Ideally, they understand both the math content and the specific strategies that work on the SAT—like recognizing question patterns and managing time effectively. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have a track record of helping students improve their scores.

Most students benefit from 5-8 hours per week of focused preparation over 8-12 weeks, though this varies based on your starting score and target. Consistency matters more than volume—regular, focused study sessions are more effective than cramming. Your tutor can help you create a realistic schedule that fits your life and builds momentum toward test day.

Taking a full practice test is the best way to see where you struggle—whether that's algebra, geometry, data analysis, or test-taking strategy. A tutor can analyze your results in detail, showing you exactly which question types and concepts trip you up most often. From there, you can focus your study time on the areas that will have the biggest impact on your score.
