Certified SAT Math Tutor
Alice
BA Union College
4+ Years Tutoring

Alice earned a 1550 SAT, and her strength in the Math section comes from years of genuine enthusiasm for problem-solving across algebra, geometry, and data analysis. She zeroes in on the specific question styles College Board uses — like multi-step word problems that bury the actual question — and teaches students to decode them systematically before picking up a pencil.

Grant
BA University of Oklahoma Norman Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

An SAT Math score is often less about what a student knows and more about how quickly they recognize which tool to use — is this a systems problem, a quadratic in disguise, or a ratio setup? Grant, who scored 1530 on the SAT, unpacks the test's recurring question structures so students spend less time deliberating and more time solving.

Elizabeth

1+ Years Tutoring

After earning a 1490 SAT composite, Elizabeth developed a clear sense of which math concepts the College Board tests hardest — linear modeling, quadratic behavior, and ratio reasoning show up far more than students expect. She teaches students to recognize problem types quickly so they spend their time solving, not figuring out what's being asked.

Angela breaks SAT Math into its highest-value skill clusters — linear equations, quadratic behavior, and data analysis — and builds each student's speed by emphasizing algebraic shortcuts over calculator dependence. Her 1500 SAT and quantitative coursework in environmental science give her fluency with the applied math problems that trip up students in the later, harder modules. She holds a 5.0 rating from the students she's worked with.

Sameer

1+ Years Tutoring

Sameer's strength on SAT Math comes from seeing the same core algebra and precalculus concepts from multiple angles — as a UW computer science student, he thinks about functions, systems of equations, and data analysis both abstractly and computationally. He teaches students to recognize which tool a problem is really asking for, whether that's back-solving, graphing mentally, or setting up a quick equation, so they stop burning time on brute-force approaches.

She's tutored math from elementary through test prep and knows how to trace SAT mistakes back to the foundational gaps (especially in fraction operations and proportional reasoning) that quietly cost points across the entire section.

John

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.
