I am a junior studying Writing for Screen and Television at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. For the past two spring semesters I worked as a CollegeSpring Mentor, tutoring Green Dot Charter high school juniors for the SAT and teaching them predatory skills for college. In addition to my experience tutoring for the SAT, as a screenwriting major I most enjoy teaching my favorite subject, English. I love showing students the power language endows upon them to communicate their ideas and beliefs with others. I believe every student deserves the chance to succeed and to try to capitalize on their strengths while encouraging them to improve in areas they may traditionally find challenging. Endowing a student with confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but also show improved confidence and happiness is the most rewarding part of my job.

Violet

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a member of the Brown Class of 2018, pursuing a bachelors degree in mathematics. I graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2014. (I am able to help anyone with the boarding school admissions process.) Outside of academia, I pursue my passions in dance, travel, volunteering, reading and art. My tutoring subjects are mathematics (from elementary school to college level) and standardized testing (SAT, SAT subject tests, PSAT, and SSAT). I have tutored mainly high school students in the New York State Regents exams and AP Calculus, although I also have experience with students in middle and elementary school. Since I have been through many school systems, including public, private, studying abroad, and boarding school, I have learned many different techniques and can attack a problem from various angles. Ultimately, my teaching style is full of tips and tricks to break down complicated topics into simple, more understandable ideas. Hobbies: books, music, art, travel, reading, writing

Joey

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.

I do not just help my students learn the material, but I also teach them how to learn it. I tutor math and test prep courses. Outside of school and tutoring, I play the piano. I have played classical piano for 13 years and jazz piano for 7. Hobbies: reading, music, art, books, writing

I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students typically struggle most with argument structure—identifying the conclusion versus premises—and distinguishing between similar answer choices that differ in subtle but critical ways. Many also find the timing pressure overwhelming; with only 35 minutes for 25-26 questions, pacing becomes as important as reasoning ability. Weaken and strengthen questions often trip up test-takers because they require deep understanding of what actually undermines or supports an argument, rather than just recognizing logical fallacies.

Expert tutors break down the distinct demands of each question type—from assumption and flaw questions that require you to identify unstated logical gaps, to comparative reasoning questions that test your ability to apply one argument's structure to another. Rather than treating all questions the same, a tutor will help you develop specific strategies for each type, such as diagramming conditional logic for sufficient/necessary assumption questions or bracketing argument components for strengthen/weaken questions. This targeted approach helps you avoid the trap of using the same method for every question.

LSAT test makers design wrong answers to be deceptively close to correct ones—they might address the right topic but fail to actually support the argument, or they might be true statements that don't answer the specific question asked. A tutor can teach you to actively eliminate answers by asking: "Does this actually do what the question asks?" and "What would make this answer correct?" Many students choose answers based on surface-level logic rather than precise reasoning, so tutoring focuses on the discipline of matching each answer choice directly to the logical requirement of the question.

Rather than working straight through, experienced test-takers use a strategic approach: identify your easier question types early (often assumption or method of reasoning questions) and build confidence and points, then return to harder questions if time allows. Many students waste time rereading the same argument multiple times; a tutor can teach you to read actively the first time, annotating key components so you don't lose track of the structure. Knowing when to cut your losses on a difficult question and move forward is equally important as solving questions correctly.

Diagramming—whether mapping argument structure with arrows, using logical notation for conditional statements, or visually organizing premises and conclusions—can be a powerful tool, but only when done efficiently. A tutor will help you determine which questions benefit most from diagramming (complex conditional logic, comparative reasoning) versus which ones slow you down unnecessarily. The goal isn't to diagram every question; it's to develop the judgment to use diagramming strategically so you save time while maintaining accuracy on logic-heavy arguments.

A tutor will help you analyze your practice test results beyond just your score—looking at patterns like whether you miss certain question types consistently, whether errors stem from misreading the question or faulty reasoning, and whether timing pressure causes careless mistakes. This diagnostic approach reveals whether you need conceptual help with logical reasoning or strategic help with pacing and question selection. Regular practice tests are essential, but reviewing them with expert guidance ensures you're learning from mistakes rather than repeating them.

Test anxiety in Logical Reasoning often stems from feeling unsure whether you're reasoning correctly or just guessing—a tutor builds confidence by helping you develop a clear, reliable process for attacking arguments and validating your reasoning with evidence from the text. As you practice with guided feedback and see your accuracy improve on specific question types, you develop trust in your method. A tutor can also help you distinguish between productive self-doubt (which prompts you to double-check your reasoning) and paralyzing anxiety (which leads to second-guessing correct answers).

Score improvement depends on your starting point and the work you put in. Students who are already scoring in the mid-150s often see gains of 2-4 points as they refine strategy and eliminate careless errors, while students in the 140s can sometimes see larger improvements by mastering argument structure and question-type approaches. Consistent practice combined with expert feedback typically yields noticeable improvement within 4-8 weeks, though reaching a target score in the 160s+ requires sustained effort. A tutor will help you set realistic timelines based on your baseline and goals.
