The lessons, practice sets and teaching approach have all been battle tested over 10 years and have helped hundreds of students get top scores - I'd love to help you too!

With a strong academic background from MIT in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, 4 years of SAT teaching experience, and college teaching positions across multiple disciplines, I am well-equipped to help you excel in your SAT preparation. My experience as a Teaching Assistant in psychology, biology, and philosophy at MIT has honed my ability to break down complex concepts and tailor my teaching methods to individual learning styles. To date, I have successfully coached 20+ students over the past 4 years, helping them achieve their target scores (all improving by 100 - 300 points) and gain admission to top schools including Tufts and Notre Dame. I pride myself on my comprehensive SAT services. I create a tailored plan with each of my students and iterate as necessary to ensure that all of their concerns and areas needing improvement are addressed. I am excited to work together to help you achieve your best score! Reach out to set up an intro call to see an example lesson, get to know my teaching style, and ask any questions you may have :)

Since 2014, I have been prepping students for the SAT across three different versions of the exam. In the course of my time as a full-time tutor, I have worked with more than 500 SAT students. My experience is not limited to just those hoping for super-high scores to get into elite colleges, although I have certainly worked with such students. Instead, I have worked with students starting at every stage in the prep process and every starting point in terms of score. I offer full test preparation for both the Math section and the Reading and Writing section. Students who spend at least 10 sessions with me are likely to see at least a 100-point improvement in their composite score. Those with more than 20 sessions often see improvement more in the 150-200 point range. However, even those who book only a few session can also benefit, as time going over test-taking strategy and calculator skills can provide a boost of around 50 points.

Elite interdisciplinary educator with two decades of experience navigating the evolution of high-stakes college admissions. For SAT coaching, I specialize in a highly adaptive individualized approach, designed to both cultivate the skills of high-achieving students and empower neurodivergent learners with reliable self-direction in academic environments where intelligence is easily obscured and confidence often subdued by rigid, automated testing metrics. Operating my own boutique consulting practice has allowed me to focus deeply on refining cognitive strategy, rather than rote memorization templates. I break down the SAT's analytical logic patterns and teach students how to manage cognitive load across adaptive modules. Through concrete conceptual conditioning, strategic navigation and structural pacing methods, my clients master the emotional and psychological consistency required to unlock top-tier scores, while bolstering autonomy.

Hi! I'm Sarah, and I'd love to help you reach your SAT goals. I earned a perfect 1600 on the SAT and have spent the past few years tutoring students for both the SAT and ACT. While I'm proud of my own score, what matters most to me is helping my students achieve theirs. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a student go from feeling intimidated by the test to walking into exam day feeling confident and prepared. Every student learns differently, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. During our sessions, we'll figure out where you're losing points, strengthen the concepts you're struggling with, and develop strategies that work for you. We'll review practice questions together, break down challenging problems step by step, and focus on understanding the reasoning behind each answer. I'll also share the test-taking strategies that helped me earn a 1600 and have helped many of my students improve their scores. I'm known for being patient, encouraging, and thorough. I know it's easy to get discouraged when preparing for a standardized test, so I aim to create a relaxed, supportive environment where you're comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. My goal is not just to help you raise your score, but to help you build confidence in your abilities along the way. Whether you're trying to reach a target score for your dream school, improve by a few hundred points, or simply feel less stressed about the SAT, I'm excited to help you get there. I look forward to celebrating your progress every step of the way!

Reading and writing can seem unscientific, but I can help bring some method to the madness. I received a 780 on the section in high school (1 wrong), and have since helped tutor many high school students during college. There are common patterns for the types of questions you'll get asked, and I will help you think like a test-maker and test-taker.

As a university mathematics professor with over 14 years of teaching experience, I bring strong conceptual clarity and structured reasoning to SAT Math preparation. The SAT is not just about solving equations. It requires pattern recognition, adaptability, and strategic time management within an adaptive testing format. My academic background allows me to simplify complex algebraic and quantitative problems into clear, manageable steps. Many students believe they need to solve everything perfectly. In reality, high scores come from structure, discipline, and smart execution. My goal is to help students move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control — building both confidence and measurable score improvement
