John
BA University of St Thomas • AS American Academy of Dramatic Arts
16+ Years Tutoring

What makes John effective for SAT prep is that he teaches both halves of the exam with equal fluency — his English and drama training sharpens his approach to passage analysis and evidence-based reading, while his math and physics background means he handles the algebra, data interpretation, and problem-solving sections without switching gears. He scored a 1420 on the SAT himself and holds a perfect 36 ACT composite, so he knows how standardized tests are constructed and where they try to trip students up. Rated 4.9 by students, he builds pacing and elimination strategies tailored to each section's specific traps.

Chloe
MS The University of Texas at Austin • BA New York University
1+ Years Tutoring

Comparative literature trains you to read closely and argue precisely — two skills that map directly onto the SAT's evidence-based reading and writing sections, where Chloe (1540 SAT, rated 5.0) is especially strong. Her linguistics minor adds a structural understanding of grammar that turns the Writing and Language questions into pattern-matching rather than guesswork. She also covers the math side, drawing on the quantitative reasoning she sharpened during her policy studies at UT Austin.

Daniel
BA The University of Texas at Austin

Most SAT points are lost not on hard questions but on avoidable mistakes — misread word problems in math, rushing through evidence-based reading pairs, or second-guessing grammar corrections that were right the first time. Daniel scored a 1570 and built his approach around identifying those leak points, using the systematic thinking from his mechanical engineering training to turn each section into a repeatable process. His strength across both math and verbal means students get a single, consistent strategy for the full exam.
