Ruby's College of Letters degree — a program blending literature, history, and philosophy — might seem like an unlikely SAT Math asset, but it trained her to dissect complex prompts and extract exactly what's being asked, which is half the battle on the section's word-heavy algebra and data questions. Her 1540 SAT confirms she can back that up with actual math chops, and she's especially effective at teaching students to convert dense real-world scenarios into clean equations before solving.

Hello! My name is Mihir, and I'm a passionate and experienced math tutor with a strong academic foundation. I hold a B.S. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University, where I concentrated in Discrete Mathematics and Logic and earned a Minor in Computer Science. I also completed my M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My background equips me with both deep mathematical knowledge and a problem-solving mindset that I bring into every tutoring session. I specialize in tutoring Math at the middle and high school levels. In the past, I've taught SAT Math, AP Calculus, AP Chemistry, and Algebra 1 and 2, among other subjects. My teaching approach focuses on building intuition and a sense of methodical problem-solving so that students can avoid memorization and cramming. I believe that this is the best way for students to be assured of their own skills and have confidence in tackling problems on their own.
I am a patient and passionate tutor with the belief that any student can succeed in reaching their full potential with the right tools, guidance, and practice. As an admitted medical school student, I have a strong biology/chemistry and test prep foundation.
I'm a rising junior at Rutgers majoring in English with a minor is Pyschology. I'm also planning on applying to the Graduate School of Education so I've taken a lot of classes related to that as well. I've been tutoring for most of my academic career, but currently I work as a paid tutor at my school's writing center during the school year, helping students who struggle with college level writing. Most of the students I tutor tend to be international students so I have a good amount of experience working with students who speak English as a second language. Obviously I tutor writing, but I also love working with literature because I love stories and I love how different people experience those stories in different ways, which I feel also reflect my "teaching philosophy". Everyone understands things in different ways, but sometimes knowledge is presented in a way that is not easily understood. My job is to bridge that gap, so to speak. Outside of school, I I like reading, writing (which sounds a lot like the stuff I do in school, now that I think about it), watching TV, movies, and YouTube videos, browsing the internet, and walking around my neighborhood.
Computer science students debug code the same way strong SAT Math test-takers work through problems — systematically checking each step instead of jumping to an answer. Anurag applies that disciplined, logic-first approach to the section's algebra and function questions, teaching students to set up the problem correctly before solving so they stop losing points on avoidable errors. His 1420 SAT and 4.7 rating back up the method.
I am currently pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Data Science through the Honors College at Rutgers University. With years of hands-on experience tutoring students in math, coding, science, and test prep, I bring a passionate, adaptable approach to teaching that meets each student exactly where they are. I've worked with students of all ages, from teaching over 40 kids how to swim to mentoring peers in advanced coding and math concepts. My tutoring journey began with helping classmates grasp difficult concepts in calculus and computer science, and it grew into a love for making complex ideas feel intuitive and engaging. Whether breaking down multivariable calculus, guiding students through their first lines of code, or preparing them for standardized exams like the SAT, I focus on building confidence and curiosity alongside academic skill. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including Pre-Algebra through Calculus III, Linear Algebra, High School Biology, Python, Java, R, and SAT Math and Reading. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and programming, because they offer students a toolkit to solve real-world problems, build cool projects, and think creatively about how the world works. My teaching philosophy centers on empowerment and active learning. I believe students succeed when they feel safe to ask questions, explore solutions, and connect learning to their interests. I prioritize understanding over memorization, and I tailor every session to the student's pace, goals, and learning style. Outside of academics, I'm a gym enthusiast training for my first powerlifting competition, a software developer building real-world applications, and a multi-time hackathon winner. I bring that same energy and drive into every tutoring session, aiming not just to teach, but to inspire.
Engineering coursework at Carnegie Mellon meant Raaga used the math tested on the SAT as a launching pad for far harder material — so concepts like quadratic modeling, systems of equations, and advanced data analysis feel intuitive to her. She scored 1550 on the SAT and now teaches students to identify which tool each problem is really asking for, cutting through the wordiness that trips up even strong math students. Rated 5.0 across her sessions.
I am most comfortable teaching the SAT Reading/Writing and helping youths with their personal statements. Furthermore, my one-year experience as an AmeriCorps VISTA for PeaceJam Foundation – an award-winning organization that promotes service learning and peacekeeping through the combined efforts of Nobel Peace Laureates and young people – has instilled in me a deep reverence and hope for our youths today. I strongly believe in our youths’ limitless potential to pursue their dreams and become agents of positive social change and know I will be an excellent mentor/coach through their journey.
I am confident I will be able to use my experience and current knowledge to raise your grades and scores.
I am a student at the Honors College of Rutgers - New Brunswick. I am currently working towards attaining a B.S. in Biochemistry, as well as a minor in Business and Administration. Over the last five years, I have reconciled my passion for teaching and my desire to interact with fellow students through tutoring. While I have tutored in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about science, math, and English. Having taught many students, each of whom were different in terms of personality and learning style, I understand the importance of tailoring the lesson to the student's strengths. As a result, I work to create unique, individualized learning plans that engage the student and make learning feel like an opportunity, rather than a chore.
Rachel scored a 1580 on the SAT and approaches the math section by categorizing every problem into one of about fifteen recurring question types — heart of algebra, passport to advanced math, problem solving with data analysis. Once a student can identify the type, they already know the solution path, which turns a stressful timed section into a series of familiar puzzles.
I'm a motivated and enthusiastic engineer with a drive to always continue learning, share knowledge with others and inspire.
As a chemistry TA at Pitt, Ronit spends his weeks breaking down quantitative problems for students who overthink setups — the same habit that costs points on SAT Math's algebra and word-problem sections. He teaches a deliberate read-then-translate method for Heart of Algebra questions, turning messy prompts into clean equations before any calculation starts. His 1570 SAT and 5.0 rating back up the approach.
A physics and math major at UT Dallas, Sean approaches SAT Math the way he approaches problem sets: by identifying which concept a question is really testing beneath its word-problem disguise. His 1560 SAT score came from exactly this skill — recognizing when a geometry question is secretly about algebra, or when a data interpretation problem hinges on one overlooked detail. He walks students through pacing strategies so they stop running out of time on the calculator section.
I am current student at The University of Chicago. I have extensive experience working with children in multiple settings. I am passionate about teaching, and hope I will be able to assist you in overcoming any academic struggles.
Having scored 1550 on the SAT, Samuel built his prep approach around pattern recognition — identifying which problem types appear most often and drilling the specific algebra and function concepts behind them. He ran an SAT prep class in high school, so he's used to walking students through everything from quadratic modeling to multi-step word problems at test-day speed.
Scoring 1540 on the SAT, Marissa knows the specific math concepts the test leans on hardest — quadratic modeling, systems of inequalities, and data analysis questions that reward careful setup over brute-force calculation. She breaks down each problem type so students recognize what's being asked before they start solving, which cuts down on careless errors and time pressure.
Scoring 1580 on the SAT means Scott didn't just survive the math sections — he dominated them. He breaks SAT Math into its real building blocks: interpreting word problems as algebra, navigating coordinate geometry, and knowing which calculator shortcuts actually save time. His approach is especially effective for students who understand concepts in class but struggle to apply them under the SAT's time constraints.
I am passionate about education, learning, teaching, and specifically literatures and languages. I have experience as an ESL teacher for young children and teens, as well as experience working as a Writing Consultant at my undergraduate institution. I also spent all four years of my undergraduate career volunteering as an SAT tutor for local high schoolers. Beyond this, I have experience both as a private and public Spanish tutor. I love to help students reach their educational and personal goals in any way that I can.
Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Marc knows exactly where the tricky points hide — from quadratic word problems to data interpretation questions that test reasoning more than calculation. He breaks down each problem type with a systematic approach, teaching students to spot what the question is actually asking before they start solving. His method turns the math section into a series of recognizable patterns rather than 58 separate surprises.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering PhD Candidate at Lehigh University. I enjoy lifting, basketball, soccer, investing, technology, and soon hope to travel. I graduated from Bucknell University with a BS in Biomedical Engineering in May, along with a Math Minor.
Scoring 1590 on the SAT, Aarav knows the Math section inside out — from quadratic modeling and systems of equations to the data analysis questions that trip up even strong math students. He teaches efficient problem-solving strategies that cut through multi-step questions, so students spend less time second-guessing and more time earning points.
Rahul's finance background means he thinks in numbers all day, and that fluency translates directly to SAT Math topics like ratios, percentages, and data analysis that trip up students who treat them as abstract exercises. He scored a 1490 SAT composite and walks through each problem type — from systems of equations to passport-to-advanced-math questions — with an emphasis on recognizing which tool to reach for before the clock runs out.
I am currently an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University working towards a degree in Biomedical Engineering. One of the most rewarding aspects tutoring is helping students arrive at that "Eureka" moment when the concept or idea they have been trying to understand suddenly clicks. I hope to be a mentor to students as I draw from my own experiences, having been in the same shoes not long ago. I enjoy tutoring all subjects, particularly math, physics, and biology.
Computer science majors debug code the same way strong SAT Math students attack problems — by isolating variables, testing edge cases, and working systematically rather than guessing. Rishik applies that algorithmic thinking to the section's algebra and function questions, teaching students to treat each problem like a logic puzzle with a clean solve path. His 1580 SAT means he's already cracked the test himself.
I am a friendly, patient, sociable, articulate person and I look forward to helping you succeed!
I am an undergraduate studying Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania.
Scoring a 1570 on the SAT gave Belinda firsthand insight into the pacing and strategy that separate a good math score from a great one. She digs into the topics that carry the most weight — quadratic modeling, systems of equations, and proportional reasoning — while teaching students to spot the shortcut the test designers buried in each problem.
I am a Biology geek, currently enrolled in NYU pursuing a Masters in Bioinformatics. I love all things science, and am building a career working in Big Data. I love working with kids of all ages, and evaluate each child to determine what resources work best.
Roshan scored a 1540 on the SAT and breaks the math section down by question type — heart of algebra, passport to advanced math, and problem solving with data analysis — so students know exactly where their points are hiding. His approach leans heavily on visual strategies and analogies that make abstract concepts like quadratic modeling and systems of inequalities click fast. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am pursuing a career in dentistry/oral surgery and will be beginning dental school at Boston University this fall. For this reason I recently took the DAT, which I am capable of assisting you with as well. During my undergraduate education, which I completed this past December, I worked in my school's tutoring center, helping my peers succeed in mathematics and science courses. Outside of my academic life, I am a big sports fan and I mostly follow the New York sports teams. For fun, I like to play basketball and golf with my friends. I am looking forward towards getting to know you and helping you with your academic needs.
I'm a freelance writer, recent Yale grad, former concert pianist and word lover. For the past three years I've worked as a writing specialist at the Yale College Writing Center, where I edited papers on topics from Turkish prison reform to Faulkner to hemoglobin studies. This past summer, I traveled to 14 countries as part of the singing group Whim 'n Rhythm. On that trip, I taught a cappella, singing and choral workshops with students of all ages. It was incredible and hugely affirming -- music is truly a global language!
Scoring a 1550 on the SAT means Margaret knows exactly where the tricky points hide — from quadratic and exponential word problems to data analysis questions designed to eat up time. She teaches specific strategies for eliminating answer choices and managing pacing across the no-calculator and calculator sections. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am a junior at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania studying Economics, Finance, and Business Analytics. For the last few years, I have been helping students with college application and test prep help, such as college essays, common app, and SAT/Subject SATs. I came from a high school where these resources for college and SAT prep were not as readily available, so I want to work towards making college more accessible by helping students with their application. Past students of mine have gotten into NYU, UMich, and Georgetown.
I'm recent college graduate with academic experience across the board, including history (my major), data analysis (my minor), music, sociology, Spanish, and math, and I love sharing what I know with other students. Before college, I wrote many a college application essay and took practice test upon practice test for the SAT, SAT subject tests, AP tests, and ACTs. I was greatly helped by my academic mentors back then and would love to help you out now if you need assistance with that process.
I am a current Master's student at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in NYC and am set to enter their Osteopathic Medicine program this upcoming fall. I have studied for many science-related courses and exams ranging from SATs, GRE, and MCAT. I am excited to share my experiences with other students to help them succeed in their own journeys. I prefer to focus on building healthy study habits to allow students to gradually excel independently.
I'm a rising junior at Stanford University majoring in International Relations and minoring in Education, and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. I am most passionate about history, but I really enjoy math and writing too. I've been working extensively in educational settings for the past two years, working as a middle school TA and after school program academic classroom director/tutor. In my free time, I love having conversations with my friends and students, reading, dancing, listening to music, and hanging out with my younger sisters. My mission is to work my hardest to make learning and tutoring truly fun, so that it doesn't feel like a chore or obligation for anyone. I would love to work with you on SAT preparation, math tutoring, history tutoring, writing tutoring, or any other subject you would like to work on!
Three finance degrees mean Matt has spent years solving problems built on algebra, percentages, and quantitative modeling — the same toolkit the SAT Math section tests through its data-analysis and Heart of Algebra questions. He teaches students to treat word problems like financial case studies: identify the variables, set up the relationship, then solve cleanly. His 1530 SAT backs up the approach.
I am currently a student at Boston College, majoring Biology and Hispanic Studies. From my experience of tutoring since high school, I realized how much I love teaching and getting to know my students. Teaching has always been a rewarding experience for me and I am grateful that I have the ability to provide not only knowledge, but also support and inspiration as a mentor and a friend; I believe that students and tutors alike can learn and continue to grow in a positive manner through such experience. Although I have tutored a wide range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are Korean and Spanish, for learning a new language comes with multifaceted benefits.
I am currently a junior studying Chemistry and Physics at Rutgers University with aspirations of becoming a doctor and practicing Oncology. I have much experience with different levels of science and mathematics and I strive to help students everywhere understand what they are learning and actually enjoy education as much as I do.
