Violet's 1550 SAT and her math degree from Brown mean she can diagnose exactly where a student's algebra or data analysis gaps are costing them points on SAT Math. She teaches the handful of non-obvious techniques — backsolving, strategic plugging-in, unit analysis on word problems — that turn 650-range scores into 750+ scores. Her style leans heavily on shortcuts that make the no-calculator section feel less like a time crunch.

Miranda earned a 1560 SAT composite, which means she tackled the Math section's trickiest territory — passport-to-advanced-math problems involving quadratics, systems, and nonlinear modeling. She teaches students to recognize what each question is actually asking beneath its wording, a skill that turns intimidating multi-step problems into familiar patterns.

I am in the process of selecting a masters program in education that will begin this summer. I have 2 years experience doing 1 on 1 tutoring and it is very effective compared to classroom teaching because there is only one student to focus on. I look forward to working with you and helping you or your child get better. Always remember, even the best of us need help and support from others to be successful.

I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

I'm a hardworking, compassionate, and patient individual who has been tutoring since high school and helping my little sister with her homework long before. I'll work with every new student individually to recognize his or her strengths and weaknesses to make sure that material is actually being learned, not just memorized.

I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

Scoring 1510 on the SAT, Sabira knows the math section inside out — from the no-calculator questions testing algebraic fluency to the data-analysis problems that reward careful graph reading. She breaks down each question type by identifying what concept the College Board is actually testing, which cuts through the trap answers that cost students easy points.

Computer science at Cornell means Eric spends most of his time turning abstract problems into precise, step-by-step logic — exactly the skill that separates a good SAT Math score from a perfect one, which he earned with his 1600. He's especially sharp on the no-calculator section's polynomial and function questions, where clean algebraic manipulation beats trial-and-error every time. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am patient, relaxed, keenly observant, and articulate - I will find a way to put things so that you will really "get it" from your perspective!

Most SAT Math mistakes aren't about not knowing the content — they're about misreading what a question asks or choosing a slow solution path under time pressure. Julie, who earned a 1570 composite, drills students on recognizing problem types instantly so they can deploy the right technique for quadratics, systems, or data interpretation without second-guessing.

I'm an MIT student with a background in mathematics and computer science. I love working with data and making sense of numbers. I hope I can share my passion for these subjects!

Gabrielle scored a 1550 on the SAT and breaks the Math section down into its core question types — heart of algebra, passport to advanced math, and problem solving with data analysis — so students know exactly what to expect. She teaches efficient strategies for grid-in questions and multi-step word problems that save time without sacrificing accuracy. Rated 4.9 by students.

Heart-of-algebra and problem-solving questions make up the bulk of SAT Math, but it's the data-analysis problems — scatterplots, margins of error, survey design — that catch students off guard. Allen's economics background at Yale means he's unusually fluent in statistical reasoning, and he uses that to demystify the questions most test-prep books gloss over. He holds a 5.0 client rating.

Physics at Yale means Ian spends his days translating real-world scenarios into mathematical models — the exact skill the SAT Math section tests when it buries a system of equations inside a paragraph about ticket sales or fuel efficiency. His 1550 SAT gives him firsthand fluency with the test's pacing and trap answers, and he teaches students to spot which problems reward algebraic setup versus back-solving or plugging in, so they stop burning time on brute-force approaches.

I am currently a junior at Columbia University studying Environmental Science with a focus on Sustainable Development. I have tutored since early high school in all subjects that range from high school entrance exam preparation (SHSAT in New York City as well as MAP and ISEE in Chicago) to the college process (all areas of SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Tests/College Essay help) to subject area helpmy favorites are middle and high school Math and Writing. Since I've been in intense academic settings for a lot of my life (Stuyvesant High School, University of Chicago, and now Columbia University), I always try to be a personable and positive figure with my tutees, because I understand what it's like at that age to have so much stress put upon you to improve your scores by X amount of points, and I want them to feel like a tutoring session is a relaxing but productive space where they shouldn't be afraid to ask questions and tell me what keeps tripping them up. As someone who has taken many of these tests and succeeded, I know the small things to practice and hone as well as the appropriate work schedule to help students not only understand the material or tests, but be able to noticeably improve their scores and cognitive skills.

Philip earned a 1560 SAT composite and brings an unconventional math instinct — his fashion design training required constant spatial reasoning, proportional thinking, and applied geometry. He tackles SAT Math by teaching students to recognize which of the test's recurring problem structures they're looking at before they start calculating, turning even tricky coordinate geometry and systems-of-equations questions into pattern-matching exercises.

Carmen earned a 1550 SAT composite and tackles the Math section by zeroing in on the conceptual traps the College Board loves — problems where the algebra looks straightforward but the wording changes everything, like distinguishing between "which value satisfies" and "which value could satisfy." She's especially sharp on the no-calculator section, where comfort with manipulating expressions by hand makes or breaks a score.

As a passionate tutor working on a Bachelor's degree in Economics, Mathematics, and Philosophy from the University of Toronto, I have over two years of tutoring experience that spans various subjects, including Writing, English, and advanced math topics. My approach centers on creating engaging, tailored lessons that resonate with students' individual goals and interests. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment where trial and error can lead to discovery and growth. My experience includes working with elementary and high school students, helping them navigate their homework, prepare for tests like the SAT, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for math and writing. I am deeply motivated to inspire students and help them achieve their academic aspirations while nurturing their curiosity and confidence. I enjoy: Writing, Reading, Piano, Fencing, Archery, Math, Economics, Philosophy, Law.

I am a PhD student at SUNY Downstate Medical Center studying Molecular & Cellular Biology. I graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry. I love to teach, mostly because of the impact of great teachers throughout my academic career. I think learning can be really fun, if teachers think outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not grudgingly sit through, so that their academic success is tied to their ability to understand and engage the material, not to what score they get on an arbitrary test.

I'm not working with students, I enjoy playing classical piano and hiking to all the corners of the world.

I am currently a sophomore undergraduate student at the Honors College at Stony Brook University, pursuing a B.S. in Biology on the pre-med track. Prior to attending Stony Brook, I graduated from Hunter College High School, in New York City. As a NYC resident, I have plenty of experience both taking and tutoring students for the SHSAT and the Hunter entrance exam, as well as the PSAT and SAT. I am extremely passionate about my academics, and I believe that learning to be confident taking standardized tests is a crucial skill for any students, and it has the potential to open countless doors in the future. I love working with students to prep for the SHSAT, PSAT, SAT, or ACT because I feel that I can really help students by making the process of prepping for and initially intimidating test much less scary and overwhelming. Learning should be a fun and engaging process, and I always strive to bring a fun and interactive approach to tutoring to help ease the stress on students. Outside of my academics and tutoring, I am passionate about art, neuroscience research, and cooking.

Nicole scored a 1500 on the SAT and breaks the math section into its core skill areas — heart of algebra, passport to advanced math, and problem solving with data analysis — so students know exactly what to prioritize. Her biochemistry coursework keeps her sharp on the calculator-heavy questions involving statistics and modeling that trip up many test-takers. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction, going to the movies, and spending time with my friends and family in the sunshine.

I'm committed to awakening and strengthening that same passion in my students through an emphasis on creative expression and a fun, but rigorous, approach to essay writing. Often the hardest thing for a young writer is forming a unique point of view on a prescribed prompt or topic, especially one that may seem less than relevant to their own life. My goal is to do just that: rouse their natural enthusiasm for a subject and help them support it with evidence that's laid out in a compelling, causal structure. Focusing on causal transitions between paragraphs is a skill rarely taught in secondary education, but often expected at the college level. I learned this the hard way. But my years of writing-intensive tutorial classes at Williams College, combined with my professional experience as a theater director and script editor, have provided me with a range of strategies to help students see their writing as a performance of their thinking.

Most SAT Math mistakes happen before students even pick up their pencil — they misread what's being asked, especially on the ratio and percent problems buried in paragraph-length setups. Aidan's 1560 SAT and dual background in economics and international studies mean he's spent years converting dense, wordy scenarios into clean quantitative relationships, and he teaches that same translation skill to cut through the test's deliberate misdirection. Rated 5.0 by students.

Scoring 1510 on the SAT, Tameem developed a systematic approach to the Math section that breaks down even the trickiest passport-to-advanced-math questions — quadratics disguised in word problems, systems with no solution, and nonlinear equation setups. He teaches students to identify what each question is actually asking before touching their calculator, which cuts down on careless errors and speeds up pacing across both modules.

Scoring a 1570 on the SAT meant Andrew had to master every category the math section throws at students: heart-of-algebra questions, passport-to-advanced-math problems, and data analysis. He walks through each problem type with a focus on recognizing what strategy to deploy, so students spend less time second-guessing and more time solving.

I am very passionate about teaching material in a way that works with each student's personal learning needs and making sure that they understand the material at its core, not just how to answer a test question. Because I majored in Neuroscience, I have expertise in a wide range of sciences, as Neuroscience is a very interdisciplinary subject. I have also had extensive experience in Computer Science. Outside of Neuroscience, I devoted a lot of time to studying the humanities. I even started a blog my junior year as an outlet to further pursue these academic interests! As a result, I also enjoy tutoring in Literature, English, and Writing.

The SAT Math section leans heavily on translating wordy, real-world scenarios into algebra — and Elizabeth's political science background means she's spent years doing exactly that with policy data, polling numbers, and statistical arguments. Her 1530 SAT confirms she can execute under timed pressure, and she teaches students to strip each problem down to its underlying equation before solving, particularly on the ratio and percentage questions that disguise straightforward math behind layers of context.

An English major might seem like an unlikely SAT Math tutor, but Andrew's 1560 SAT means he crushed the math section alongside the verbal — and his liberal arts training gives him a knack for breaking down the test's notoriously tricky word problems into plain language before any algebra begins. He's especially useful for students who understand the underlying math but lose points because they misread what a problem is actually asking, a gap he closes by treating each question as a reading exercise first and a calculation second.

Robert scored a 1530 SAT composite and brings a structured, concept-first approach to the math section — particularly the algebra and data-analysis questions that make up the bulk of the test. He breaks down word problems by teaching students to identify what the question is actually asking before touching any numbers, a habit that cuts careless errors dramatically.

I'm a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, currently working with multiple firms as a professional tutor. I received my Bachelor of Arts with concentrations in theatre and computer science, and I was lucky enough to study a wide array of subjects in addition to my concentrations. From applied physics to linguistics to sociology, I've dipped my toes into subjects across the board.

I'm a graduate of Loyola University Chicago's Honors Interdisciplinary Program, from which I received a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Civilization. After graduating, I relocated to New York City to pursue my creative goals and obtain an MFA in Fiction writing. I have experience tutoring both adults and gifted adolescents; while I am capable of tutoring a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Writing, History, and Literature. I believe in the intellectual potential of every student, and have observed that a great many obstacles in a student's educational journey can be overcome through a personal and case-by-case approach on the part of the teacher or tutor. I also believe that early educational success is the foundation for lifetime achievement and general well-being, and I try to relate this in motivational terms to all students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, running through Brooklyn, and seeing almost any movie in theaters.

Most SAT Math questions reward careful reading as much as calculation — and Rachel's history and political science training means she's spent years pulling precise meaning out of dense, layered text, a skill she applies directly to decoding the section's notoriously tricky word problems. Her 1510 SAT confirms she can execute under timed pressure, and she teaches students to slow down on problem setup so they can speed up on the actual math, especially in the ratio and linear-equation questions where misreading the prompt is the real score killer.

I am well aware of that, and as a tutor, I consider it my job to give my students the confidence to apply the knowledge they have gained. That confidence will serve them well not only now but in future endeavors as well.

I'm Emmett, an undergrad student originally from CA. I moved to the East Coast for college, and am now in my last year at Tufts majoring in English and American Studies.

I am passionate about learning, the arts, traveling, telling stories, and sharing experiences. I have a B.A. in Drama and Italian from Vassar College, where I graduated with general and departmental honors. As a Drama major, I focused on directing and dabbled in writing, performing, and costuming as well. As an Italian major, I spent a semester studying at the University of Bologna, completed a translation for my thesis, and worked as a drill instructor for first-year students. After graduating I was awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship in Catania, Sicily, where I spent a year teaching high school students English language, culture, literature, and theatre. In my spare time, I acted in an Italian version of As You Like It, did a weekly guest spot on a radio station, tutored privately, and started an after school theatre program culminating in an end-of-year performance in English.

I'm interested in primarily reading and writing in my free time. When I'm not studying or inside reading, I like to go for a walk or run. My happy place is outdoors, so I go hiking whenever I can!

I'm Ben, and I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2014 with a major in English and a minor in French. I've been a passionate wordsmith all my life - I'm a thorough reader and an articulate writer and I'm excited to help you develop in these areas. I am also a fluent French speaker; I worked as a tutor for beginning classes in the Dartmouth French department, and spent the past year in France teaching English to middle and high school students. I look forward to helping you however I can!
