Certified Tutor
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 ...

Matthew
Both of Matthew's parents are university math professors, so quantitative thinking was literally the dinner-table conversation — a background that shows up in how naturally he teaches the SAT Math section's trickier algebra and data-analysis problems.

Most SAT math points are lost not on hard concepts but on misreading what a problem actually asks — something Ben addresses by teaching students to translate word problems into equations before touching their calculator.
