Our Team

Tutors who've spent years on the SAT, specialised by section

A small, specialised team of SAT tutors focused on either Math or Reading & Writing — fluent in the Bluebook format and graduated from top universities.

Our tutoring philosophy

Why a section-specialised faculty?

On the SAT, Math and Reading & Writing are two entirely different exams in their dynamics. Working with the right specialist for each is the shortest path to your target score.

Top-tier academic background

Our tutors are graduates of leading universities, including Boğaziçi, METU, MIT, Columbia and UPenn. We choose them for their academic grounding and their experience of teaching the SAT.

Single-section mastery

Each tutor teaches one section only: Math or Reading & Writing.

Bluebook-fluent

Every tutor knows College Board's Bluebook app first-hand: its module-adaptive system, the Desmos calculator and the new question types.

Continuity and tracking

The student works with the same specialist tutor in each section throughout the programme; practice analyses, homework reviews, and weekly plan revisions all live with that team.

How to work with these tutors

Lessons are one-to-one and 90 minutes. You start with a free diagnostic, and the match is made from the strong and weak sections it reveals.

FAQ

Tutor selection and matching

How tutors are matched, how a switch is handled, and how online tracking works.

How do you match a tutor to a student?

We use the current Math and R&W section scores, target score, test date, and weekly study time you share in the planning form. We profile the student against those five variables and recommend the best-fit tutor; if needed, the match can be revisited after the first lesson.

Do Math and Reading & Writing need different specialists?

Yes. Math and R&W are entirely different in their dynamics — every tutor on our team teaches one section only (Math or R&W). Students working on both sections meet with two specialist tutors separately.

Does the tutor change with the student's level?

Some tutors are strongest at pushing advanced students towards 1500+; others are best at building a base for mid-range (500–650) students. We match your starting level to those tutor profiles during your Free Intro Call.

How do practice test results shape the plan?

After every full-length test we break down accuracy by subscore. The tutor revises the weekly plan against that data; if the same domain underperforms two tests in a row, we add a dedicated block to the plan.

How is online tutoring tracked?

All lessons run on online platforms; homework, practice test results, and the plan live on our learning platform. WhatsApp or email is used for general communication.

Does the student stay with the same tutors end-to-end?

Yes — that's the design. Math and Reading & Writing are taught by separate specialist tutors, and in each section the student stays with the starting tutor through test day; we change tutors only in the rare case of a poor match.

Meet the right tutor for you

Share your current Math and R&W levels, target score, and test date — we'll recommend the best-fit tutor from our pool. If the match isn't right, we can switch tutors after the first lesson.
