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.

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.

Scoring well on SAT Math often comes down to recognizing which tool a problem is really testing — is it a systems question disguised as a word problem, or a quadratic hidden in a table? Astoria's 1530 SAT composite and science-heavy coursework at WashU give her sharp instincts for the algebraic and data-analysis concepts that dominate this section. She teaches students to read problems strategically so they spend less time second-guessing their approach.

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.

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.

Heart-of-algebra and passport-to-advanced-math questions account for the majority of SAT Math, yet many students lose easy points on data-analysis problems they've barely practiced. Jessica scored a 1590 on the SAT and pinpoints exactly where each student's points are leaking — whether it's careless errors on linear equations or genuine gaps in quadratic and exponential reasoning — then targets those areas first.

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.

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.

I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

I am particularly passionate about preparations for standardized testing, including the SATs and AP exams, and helping students through the college application process. My hope is that the support I provide to struggling students will empower them to expand their academic curiosity and appreciate learning. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going to the theater, and baking, preferably something with cinnamon.

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

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.

A PhD in statistics and a bachelor's in biomedical engineering means Sam has spent years solving quantitative problems far beyond what the SAT asks — so he knows exactly which concepts are worth mastering and which are just dressed-up versions of simpler algebra. He zeroes in on the data-analysis and probability questions where his statistics background gives students an edge most math tutors can't offer, turning table-reading and scatterplot questions into easy points. Rated 4.9 by students.

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

I am planning on entering medical school at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the fall. Throughout high school and college, I have fallen in love with tutoring and seeing so many new faces in the process. I especially love to tutor in math, chemistry, MCAT, and chemical engineering topics, and have experience tutoring students of all ages - from elementary school to fellow college students. When I am not tutoring or in school, I am an avid lifter and love to bake with friends!

Course-assisting Harvard's introductory calculus class means Sanjana spends her weeks watching students make the exact algebraic missteps — sign errors in quadratics, sloppy distribution, misread negative exponents — that the SAT Math section is specifically designed to punish. She drills those habits out by teaching students to write clean, stepwise setups on both the calculator and no-calculator portions, turning rushed guesswork into a repeatable process. Her 1560 SAT and 5.0 rating back up the approach.

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'm Kade and I'm currently a second-year at Northwestern University studying biology and chemistry on the pre-medical track. Outside of school/tutoring, I spend time volunteering for my university's annual Dance Marathon fundraiser, a member of Camp Kesem, working as a study group mentor, and I'm also into running and hiking. I look forward to tutoring y'all!

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.

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!

Scoring a 1510 on the SAT gave Jacob firsthand familiarity with the math section's blend of algebra, data analysis, and passport-to-advanced-math problems. His chemistry and physics training makes him especially sharp on questions that require setting up equations from word problems — the category where most students lose points unnecessarily.

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'm currently applying for medical schools and hope to matriculate in the fall of 2017.

Algebra and data interpretation account for the majority of SAT Math questions, yet many students over-prepare for the harder topics and lose easy points on careless mistakes in these areas. Adrianne zeroes in on the specific question types a student is missing — whether it's setting up linear models, interpreting percentages in context, or handling systems of inequalities — and builds accuracy there first. Rated 5.0 by students, she brings both a 1430 SAT composite and a structured, diagnostic approach to every session.

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'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 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.

The SAT Math section rewards students who can shift fluidly between algebra, geometry, and data reasoning within a single sitting — and Kshitij's 1600 SAT means he's done exactly that under real test conditions. As a business student at Michigan's Ross School, he regularly works with quantitative models that mirror the test's problem-solving and data-analysis questions, and he teaches students to build a decision framework for each question type so they spend less time deliberating and more time solving.

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

I am an ambitious and eager student entering the University of Notre Dame as a freshman this fall. I have been in marching band throughout high school and concert bands for eight years, and have a particularly strong interest in social studies. Throughout high school, I took a rigorous course load so that I could take classes in a broad range of subjects each year, comprised predominantly of honors and AP level classes. I was a part of the inaugural STEM program at my high school, and am looking to continue with engineering and history in college. I love school and am considering a career in teaching because I enjoy helping others learn and finding new ways to explain concepts.

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 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 am an incoming freshman at the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC), majoring in Biological Sciences and part of the GPPA Medical Scholars program! In my free time, I love to play violin, read, play badminton, and go on bike rides!

The SAT Math section rewards students who can switch fluidly between algebra, geometry, and data reasoning — and Benjamin's 1540 SAT means he's done exactly that under real test conditions. His theatre background gives him an unusual edge: he treats each problem like a script, teaching students to read the setup carefully for cues before jumping to a solution. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

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.
