Hi, I’m Eric.

I’m a student at the University of Virginia studying Computer Science, Economics, and Math, and I’ve been tutoring the SAT Math for over 3 years.

As both a student and a tutor, I’ve developed strategies for learning math effectively and succeeding on the SAT. These strategies enabled me to earn a perfect math score on the SAT both times I took it. My goal as a tutor is to help other students do the same.

I’ve tutored students across the globe, from international schools in Asia to TJHSST, America’s #1 (at the time) public high school here in Northern Virginia. My tutoring is simple yet effective–with just 8 hours of sessions, I’ve helped students improve up to 200 points! No matter your comfort with math, if you’re determined to learn, I’d love to help you become a stronger problem solver.

FAQ

Should I get 1-on-1 tutoring or join the group class?

If you’re scoring under a 650, then 1-on-1 sessions. You should always prioritize the easiest problems that you’re missing, and the group classes will focus on the SAT math’s hardest problems.

If you’re scoring above a 650, then I’d recommend the group class, with 1-on-1 sessions as a supplement if needed. Think of group classes as teaching you the content of the test and 1-on-1 sessions as “office hours” for the topics and problems that you just can’t wrap your head around. Not to mention, group classes cost much less!

What materials do you recommend?

The only paid resource I recommend for all students is the CollegePanda book, which is $24 online. I am not sponsored by any of the resources on this list.

Do you assign homework? How much?

The amount of work students do between sessions is ultimately at their discretion, but I recommend that between sessions students spend around 1-3 hours working on new material and 30-60 minutes reviewing past material. Then, students come to each session with a list of problems to review, topics to learn, and questions to ask.

What if I want to cancel a session?

Sessions are fully refundable as long as you cancel at least 6 hours before the scheduled start time. Otherwise, the full session price is charged. You can see all my cancellation/refund policies here.

Do you tutor the English as well?

I’ve spent the last 3 years specializing in SAT math prep, so I know the test back to front, but I’m not strong enough in the English section to tutor it.

How much will my score improve after 8 hours of tutoring?

At the end of the day, there’s no golden ticket where you can pay a certain amount of money for a certain SAT score. Almost every test prep company that advertises score guarantees has caveats in the fineprint. If a student doesn’t put in effort, then 8 hours will get them nowhere. If a student is critical of their learning and practices consistently, then I’ve seen up to 200 point improvement.

What is your educational experience?

At the University of Virginia, I’m most of the way through a degree in Computer Science and Economics, and I’m pursuing a minor in Mathematics. I currently have a 3.9 GPA.

Outside of school, I’ve worked as a software engineering intern at Wells Fargo, and participated in Susquehanna International Group’s Discovery Day program for quantitative trading.

I also play violin in UVA’s student-run symphony orchestra and love to play poker!

Some mathematical courses I’ve completed include:

As for the SAT, I scored a 1570 (770 EBRW / 800 Math).
I took the SAT twice and the PSAT once, earning a perfect math score on all 3 exams.
