SAT Math Tutoring

Diagnostic Evaluation & Personalized Learning Plan

Every student begins with a diagnostic evaluation using SAT-style problems and, when available, a full-length practice test.

I analyze far more than simply which questions were answered correctly or incorrectly. I look for knowledge gaps, careless errors, pacing issues, test-taking habits, and problem-solving strategies to identify the areas that will produce the greatest score improvement.

Based on this evaluation, I develop an individualized learning plan. As tutoring progresses, that plan is continually updated to reflect the student’s growth, homework performance, and evolving needs.

Personalized Instruction & Reinforcement

Every lesson is designed around the student’s individual needs. I create a personalized learning plan based on the student’s goals, diagnostic results, homework performance, and progress.

During each online lesson, I save the Zoom whiteboard containing all of our work. After the lesson, I use AI to transform those handwritten notes into organized study guides that include:

• Clear step-by-step solutions
• Explanations of important concepts
• Helpful problem-solving tips
• Common mistakes to avoid
• Clean, easy-to-read formatting

Homework is selected specifically for each student from the SAT textbooks and resources I use. Assignments are based on the student’s performance during the lesson and on previous homework, and they are updated as the student progresses.

Lesson Summaries & Progress Monitoring

After every tutoring session, students and parents receive a personalized lesson summary that includes:

• Concepts covered
• Strengths demonstrated
• Areas needing additional practice
• Updated learning plan, if needed

Throughout the tutoring process, students complete periodic SAT practice tests and assessments. These evaluations measure improvement, identify remaining weaknesses, and help guide future lessons.
