Hello! My name's Matt. I'm a Princeton and UCLA graduate with nearly two decades of experience in education. Standardized Testing: I've tutored the SAT and ACT for nearly two decades. I've helped hundreds of students improve their scores significantly, often by 200-300 points on the SAT, and by as many as 8-10 points on the ACT. I'm also experienced in tutoring the GRE and the ISEE. Writing Consulting: I have 7 years of experience as a writing consultant for graduate and professional students--PhD students, master's students, and law and medical students. If you're working on a master's thesis, a dissertation, or any other advanced work (including resumes, cover letters, and personal statements), I'm the right choice for you. I've also worked extensively with undergraduates and high-school students on everything from class essays to college admissions essays. In addition to the previous two specialties, I'm also a versatile educator who is experienced in many subjects (both STEM and the humanities) across many age ranges (from kindergarten through adult learners). I have nearly twenty years of experience in education, and will help just about any student in almost any subject area. Please note that my listed rate is my maximum rate, and usually applies to standardized testing and high-level writing consulting. Please inquire about lower rates for other services.

Hamilton College
An undergraduate student at Hamilton College majoring in Economics and Data Science, I have scored a 1570 (800 Math, 770 EBRW) on the SAT, 800/800 on SAT Math II, and 800/800 on SAT Physics. After two years of tutoring the SAT, ACT, AP English Language, and AP Calculus, I have narrowed down and now specialize in short, impactful ACT English/Writing and SAT Reading/Writing lessons built around intuition and conversation rather than simply reading textbooks with a one-size-fits-all approach.

--First session is free-- In high school, I worked as a Peer Tutor where I helped mainly middle-school aged kids in all subjects. In college, I go to local West Philly elementary schools to help improve kid's literacy skills. I am also in my second year of college, studying bioengineering, so I have college-level experience with physics, calculus, chemistry, biology, and other engineering courses. I took fifteen AP courses in high school and got a 36 on the ACT, so I am familiar with the testing formats.

Hello! My name is Abby, and I've been tutoring and teaching for 3 years now. I have a BA in English & comparative literature and in political science from the University of North Carolina, where I graduated summa cum laude. Go heels! I have a variety of teaching experiences. I've been an online tutor with Varsity Tutors since 2020, where I mainly teach ACT/SAT test prep, K-12 English, and college application essay writing. After graduating from university in May 2021, I also began working as a classroom teacher. During the summer of 2021, I was a 4th and 5th-grade reading and math remediation teacher for summer school. And for the past two school years, I've been teaching 7-12th grade English at a secondary school in Spain. In Spain, I also do private English tutoring for many families, with children ranging in age from 5 to 11 years old. My tutoring philosophy is to provide students with the learning strategies they need to master information in their studies and to foster lifelong independent learning skills. I want to help students be passionate about their education, so they have self-motivation to improve. I mainly teach K-12 English, ACT/SAT test prep, and essay writing. But I'm also comfortable teaching many history, social science, and humanities subjects.

My academic journey has been marked by success, having earned As in all my courses, as well as scoring 5s on the AP exams in AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Calculus AB/BC, and AP Physics. Additionally, I achieved a 35 on the ACT and ranked in the 97th percentile on the MCAT. With over eight years of tutoring experience, I’ve worked with more than 120 clients, helping them excel in subjects like chemistry, biology, math, physics, the ACT, and MCAT. My approach focuses on simplifying complex concepts, fostering understanding, and building confidence. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, I have developed comprehensive AP Chemistry and AP Biology curricula from scratch for a nonprofit, tailoring them to meet the needs of students aiming for top scores. Beyond tutoring, I am also actively involved in cancer research at UCLA and UCSF, focusing on molecular biology and cancer pathways. This hands-on experience, coupled with my academic background, gives me a deep understanding of the biological sciences, making me uniquely qualified to help students navigate their coursework and standardized exams. I also offer college counseling services, drawing on my experience interviewing at six Ivy League schools and being admitted to multiple top-tier universities.

I am one of the top tutors because I am so easy to work with. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Case Western Reserve University. I also earned a Provost Academic Scholarship for my excellent test scores, including 34 in ACT math and 780 in SAT math. I teach K - 12th grade, as well as college students and business professionals. I am patient, creative and friendly. Many of my students tell me that I explain concepts more effectively than their teachers. I am available weekdays or weekends, days or nights, for the entire year. Test Preparation Methodology a) A student will complete several manageable assignments throughout the week. b) During our tutoring session, we will identify specific errors and deficiencies. c) For each area of weakness, I will cover all facets of the topic to identify the root cause of the issue. d) We will develop a customized strategy turn problematic areas into strong foundations. e) Students will apply material covered to similar problems and scenarios. f) I will suggest practice test sections that will focus on subject matter needing reinforcement through targeted self-study. Typical score increases range from 3-8 points on the ACT. Some of my elite scholars have earned perfect scores on one or more of sub-sections.

After studying for the SAT for years (since the 8th grade), I have an extremely comprehensive experience with the exam and its questions. In my first attempt, I was able to score a 1460 and on the second, I raised that to a 1540 (99th percentile). After this, I felt very confident in my ability to share my knowledge and experiences in mastering the SAT. So, I decided to start tutoring my friends and other students at my local library. I directly worked with 3-4 students at a time and provided them with very useful tips and tricks to rapidly improve their math scores on the SAT. After seeing the improved results of the students I tutored, I became very passionate about tutoring SAT Test prep. In my tutoring lessons, I will start off by understanding students' baseline scores, their goals, and the areas that they wish to improve. During tutoring, I will explain online by going through official SAT Test Prep lesson plans and then go on to explicitly teach them the concepts necessary to answer questions on all sections of the SAT. Focusing on weaknesses and motivating students to continue practicing problems consistently is my specialty and it has gone to improve their SAT scores significantly. I will also provide several resources to find SAT test problems online and practice with real tests as well.

I was extremely successful in customizing my approach to each member of that crew, so I can certainly do it for you or your child. Let's put it this way: They would "rehire" me every night, so I must have done something right! I would love to assist you. Thank you for your consideration.
