Scoring a 1590 SAT means Anna has already dissected every question type the Math section throws at students — from no-calculator algebra and systems of equations to data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math problems involving polynomials and exponentials. She teaches efficient strategies for avoiding trap answers and managing pacing across both calculator and no-calculator modules.

Elena scored a 1600 on the SAT and treats the math section as a strategic exercise, not just a math test. She teaches students to recognize which problems reward algebraic setup versus back-solving or plugging in, then builds that decision-making instinct through timed practice where she listens to their reasoning in real time and flags inefficient habits.

Viktor scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT, and his math degree from UChicago means he doesn't just know the answers — he understands why the College Board designs each question the way it does. He breaks down the no-calculator and calculator sections differently, showing students how to spot which algebraic manipulation or data-analysis shortcut each problem is actually testing.

Scoring 1530 on the SAT gave Asta firsthand insight into how the Math section layers algebra, data analysis, and advanced concepts like passport-to-advanced-math quadratics into increasingly tricky contexts. She zeroes in on the specific question types a student struggles with — whether that's systems of equations, percent-change word problems, or interpreting scatterplot data — and builds targeted practice around those gaps.

Scoring a 1590 on the SAT while studying industrial engineering at Northwestern gives Oliver an unusual double advantage on SAT Math: deep comfort with the content and a strategic eye for how questions are constructed. He digs into the no-calculator section's emphasis on algebraic manipulation and the calculator section's data-analysis traps, teaching students to distinguish between problems that reward setup and problems that reward estimation.

I am a math tutor who is currently attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and majoring in Environmental Engineering. I have been tutoring math for over four years, both at Fenwick High School (where I attended) as a peer tutor and with Mathnasium. I teach Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calc, and Calculus 1 + 2, and I also cover all sections of the ACT. I prefer to take an involved approach to tutoring -- that is, rather than have my students sit and listen to me talk, I prefer to actively engage them with problems. I believe that the best way to learn is to do, and I love to use this philosophy in my tutoring. However, I am willing to adapt to whatever style my students prefer -- if my students learn best from lectures, then lectures will be what we do. Working with clients to discover the way they learn best is one of my favorite parts of tutoring.

Having taught SAT prep professionally for both Kaplan and Summit Tutors, Jeff knows which math concepts the College Board tests most heavily — quadratics, linear modeling, ratios, and passport-to-advanced-math problems that trip students up with unfamiliar notation. His 1550 composite score shows he can walk the walk, and his teaching background means he can explain the strategic shortcuts that save time on test day.

Most students who love writing assume they're just 'not math people' — Mahalia, who earned a 1550 SAT with a creative writing focus, proves that's a false binary and uses that crossover perspective to teach the reading-heavy algebra and data-interpretation problems where strong verbal skills are actually an advantage. She's especially good at unpacking the SAT's deliberately tricky word problems, training students to translate narrative setups into clean equations before solving. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm a recent graduate of Oberlin College and Conservatory, where I studied Jazz Trumpet and Environmental Studies. I tutor in a wide range of subjects, including math, French, English, environmental science, and standardized test prep. I have experience teaching academic subjects and music in both classroom and individual settings, and I have worked with middle school through college-aged students. As a teacher, I strive to be flexible and approachable, getting to know my students and constantly reassessing my approach based on the needs of the individual student I am working with.

I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together

I'm thrilled to work with anybody on any subjects of interest, reach out with any questions!

I am a personable, easy-going tutor who wants students to feel comfortable working with me. I'm starting a PhD program in the fall and looking for a few tutoring opportunities to supplement my fellowship.

I am an incoming medical student at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. I graduated cum laude from Vanderbilt University majoring in Biomedical Engineering. I'm passionate about teaching STEM topics and making sure my students truly understand the material. I have 4 years experience teaching and tutoring elementary, middle, high school, and college students in STEM topics through a program called VSVS. Looking forward to meeting you!

Charlie's 1520 SAT means he's already cracked the math section's particular blend of algebra, geometry, and data questions — but what makes him effective as a tutor is his English literature background, which trained him to read carefully and precisely, exactly the skill that separates students who understand the math from those who actually answer what the SAT is asking. He teaches students to slow down on the problem setup and speed up on the solve, a pacing shift that consistently rescues points lost to misreads. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring 1560 on the SAT meant Ilana had to master the specific traps the Math section sets — misread graphs, unit conversion slip-ups, and quadratic problems disguised as word problems. She breaks each question type into a recognition pattern so students spend less time figuring out what's being asked and more time solving. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am an undergraduate student studying Economics and Public Policy at the University of Chicago. I attended the Horace Mann School in New York City. I love teaching and working with students because I feel that there is nothing more rewarding than being able to provide the extra push that students might need to be successful. I am passionate about helping students learn and making sure they are having fun doing so. I'm also happy to talk about anything a student might want to talk about, academically, extracurricularly, or otherwise.

Scoring well on SAT Math often comes down to recognizing which concept a problem is really testing underneath its wording — is that word problem about systems of equations or rate-distance-time? Ariela earned a 1590 on the SAT by treating every problem as an organizational puzzle: identify what's given, name what's missing, choose the fastest path. She teaches that same framework so students stop second-guessing themselves on test day.

I am confident that I can help my students find success.

I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University with degrees in Theatre Management, Marketing, and Spanish. I am passionate about tutoring because I love engaging with students in a way that makes them excited about learning. I believe that finding connections to the material allows students to develop a personal investment in their work that will always result in greater success. I encourage students to actively participate in a tutoring session, making sure that their needs drive a session rather than my pre-planned agenda. Every student learns differently, and I have found that the greatest success is a result of playing to these strengths rather than fighting against them. I am excited to be a part of Varisty Tutors, and to help students thrive in their academic lives.

I am a runner, a reader, a lover of outdoors, and a traveller! I am also a people person and enjoy spending time with family and friends, as well as meeting new people!

I'm a current third year biology major on the pre-med track at the University of Chicago. I attended Stuyvesant High School in New York City and am incredibly excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors!

I am a Northwestern University graduate and received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Robotics. I have an extensive background tutoring middle and high school students in Standardized Tests as well as helping incoming freshmen acclimate to the college environment as a Peer Advisor. Due to my concentration in STEM, I am well-adept in teaching Math and Physics, though am open to tutoring outside those subjects. I believe that working on one's education outside of regular school hours shows a strong initiative to learn, and I want to encourage this drive for learning in my students.

I am a 4th year student at The University of Chicago majoring in Economics. I recently completed all of my coursework and am now filling my time with the activities I most enjoy. One of these activities is teaching. At the beginning of this academic year, I joined an organization on campus that teaches juniors and seniors at a local high school about community engagement through the lens of philanthropy. Through this, I have the unique opportunity to empower students to become leaders in their community; to provide them a platform to change issues about which they are most passionate. This experience inspires my desire to educate young students; to provide them the tools to be leaders, whether that be in the classroom, on the playing field, or in their community. My time as a youth soccer coach and tutor of my little brother and his friends has further bolstered my love of teaching. Given my extensive experience and longtime passion for math and applied math subjects, I feel I can best help students seeking help in these areas, though I have experience in a broad range of subjects. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing soccer, basketball, guitar and piano, as well as cooking, hiking and listening to podcasts.

Scoring high on SAT Math isn't about knowing advanced topics — it's about recognizing which of a handful of concepts each question is really testing. Cynthia earned a 1560 composite and approaches the math section by drilling the specific question patterns that appear most often: rate problems, systems disguised as word problems, and data interpretation. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Teaching at the University of Chicago and also have a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Chicago.

I am a lover of math, English, and learning in general. I am currently studying pure mathematics and political science at DePaul University. I have been a tutor for four years now! I love helping students achieve their goals and gain confidence in their abilities. I am especially passionate about helping students learn to appreciate and comprehend math and its importance.

Scoring a 1590 on the SAT, Gabriel developed a triage system for the math section: identify whether a problem is testing algebraic manipulation, conceptual understanding, or data literacy, then apply the fastest solution path for that type. His computational neuroscience major at the University of Chicago keeps him fluent in everything from polynomial functions to probability distributions, and he's rated 5.0 by the students he's coached through score jumps.

Brett scored a 1450 SAT and brings particular clarity to the Math section's trickiest territory: word problems that disguise straightforward algebra behind layered context, and the no-calculator questions that demand confident mental arithmetic. He walks through each problem type so students learn to translate quickly from English to equation and avoid the traps the test designers build in.

Every SAT Math question falls into one of four domains — algebra, advanced math, problem-solving and data analysis, or geometry and trigonometry — and Mercy maps each student's weak spots to specific domain drills rather than assigning generic practice tests. Her 1560 SAT score came from the same targeted approach she now teaches: diagnose the gap, practice the pattern, then simulate test conditions.

The SAT Math section rewards students who can spot which of three possible approaches to a problem is fastest — and Aaron, who scored a 1530, teaches that decision-making process explicitly, especially on the algebra and function questions where brute-force solving wastes precious minutes. His organizational behavior training sharpened his ability to break down how people make choices under pressure, which he applies to building students' test-taking instincts so they stop second-guessing and commit to a strategy. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a Duke University graduate with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I have experience tutoring all levels of Spanish language, all sections of the SAT, as well as algebra, pre algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus! I love kids & I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of patience! Let me help you :)

I'm a recent graduate of Northwestern University, and have worked as a tutor for Westchester Counseling and Psychological Services and Scarsdale Recreation Camp.

Scoring a 1580 on the SAT meant Rebecca had to master every corner of the math section, from linear systems and inequalities in Heart of Algebra to the quadratic and exponential modeling that dominates Passport to Advanced Math. She teaches students to recognize problem archetypes quickly so they spend their time solving, not figuring out what's being asked.

Computer science at Illinois means Owen spends most of his week thinking in algebra and logic — solving systems, manipulating expressions, optimizing functions — which covers a surprising amount of the SAT Math section's content. His 1530 SAT confirms he knows how to execute under timed conditions, and he zeroes in on the no-calculator questions where strong algebraic instincts matter most. Rated 4.9 by students.

Bryson scored a 1490 on the SAT — putting him in the top few percentiles — and his urban education master's means he's trained in breaking down academic content for students who learn differently than the textbook assumes. He zeroes in on the geometry and trigonometry questions that many prep courses rush through, teaching students to sketch problems quickly and spot which properties actually unlock the answer. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am an Illinois certified Teacher in grades K-9. I attended Northwestern University and received a Master's of Science in Education. I have ample classroom experience and expertise in elementary Math and Reading intervention. I have several tools and resources from various curricula to work with and would love to help your students in any elementary or middle school subject area. For the past three years, I have been working as a classroom Teacher in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classrooms, teaching students with a variety of needs. I can also tutor students through high school and college in History and Spanish as I hold degrees in both subjects from Columbia University. I am highly qualified to tutor Writing at all levels - from elementary to adult professional writing - as I have written two distinguished theses as part of my academic training.

Scoring 1500 on the SAT, Sigourney knows the math section rewards strategic thinking as much as raw skill — recognizing when to back-solve, when to plug in values, and when a problem is simpler than it looks. She breaks down the trickiest question types, from systems of inequalities to data interpretation, with an emphasis on pacing and mental math that shaves seconds off each problem. That time savings compounds across 58 questions.

I'm currently a medical student at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. I graduated summa cum laude in April 2020 from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in Neuroscience, B.S. with honors in Psychology, B.A. in French, minor in Chemistry and certificate in Conceptual Foundations of Medicine. I love teaching and tutoring people in topics of all kinds and have done so since freshman year of high school when I began working as a private tutor and a junior teacher at a local learning center. Working with students is a passion of mine since I love learning, teaching and getting to know new people as well. I believe education is an important part of life and strive to give all my students a solid foundation to the best of my ability.

Back in China, May tutored students specifically for SAT Math and AP Calculus — so she knows which problem types (quadratics, systems, exponential growth) actually recur on test day versus which ones students waste prep time on. Her 1490 SAT and TA experience teaching calculus at Bryn Mawr mean she can break down both the underlying math and the test-specific shortcuts that turn a 650 into a 750. Rated 4.9 by students.

I'm a 19-year-old undergraduate studying biology at Lewis University.
