Richard earned a perfect 1600 on the SAT, and his math background — including a year teaching calculus at Harvard — means he can explain not just what the right answer is but why each wrong answer was designed to be tempting. He digs into the specific algebra, data analysis, and advanced math concepts the SAT tests, with particular attention to the no-calculator section where procedural fluency matters most. His approach turns test-day math into a series of recognizable problem types rather than surprises.

Vanderbilt's pre-med neuroscience track is essentially a crash course in applied math — statistics, data modeling, quantitative analysis — which keeps Eileen sharp on exactly the algebra and data-interpretation skills the SAT math section hammers hardest. She scored a 1550 SAT composite and uses timed practice to help students build the pacing instincts that turn content knowledge into actual points, especially on the back half of each section where difficulty spikes and rushed mistakes pile up.

I'm currently a student at Northeastern University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

I am in the process of selecting a masters program in education that will begin this summer. I have 2 years experience doing 1 on 1 tutoring and it is very effective compared to classroom teaching because there is only one student to focus on. I look forward to working with you and helping you or your child get better. Always remember, even the best of us need help and support from others to be successful.
