Experienced Math & SAT Tutor Specializing in High School Math

Griffith B.

I am a junior at the University of Southern California, majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My academic background includes advanced coursework in algebra, calculus, probability, and problem-solving–focused mathematics, which directly informs how I teach both school math and standardized test content. On standardized exams, I earned a 1570 on the SAT, including a perfect 800 on the Math section, and a 36 composite score on the ACT. This foundation allows me to tutor subjects ranging from middle school math through calculus, as well as SAT Math and ACT Math, with a strong emphasis on efficiency and accuracy.

I have over four years of tutoring experience working with students in one-on-one settings, both independently and through structured platforms such as Khan Academy’s peer tutoring program. I have taught students ranging from middle school through high school, including those preparing for standardized tests and those seeking support with classroom material. My experience includes long-term tutoring relationships as well as targeted preparation over shorter time horizons, depending on student goals. I focus on identifying the specific types of problems students struggle with and reinforcing the underlying concepts through repeated, structured practice.

My teaching approach is highly personalized and strategy-driven. Rather than following a rigid curriculum, I adapt each session to the student’s current level, learning style, and objectives. For standardized tests like the SAT, I emphasize recognizing recurring question patterns, applying consistent methods, and building confidence under time constraints. Across all subjects, my goal is to help students develop a clear, logical approach to problem-solving so they become more independent and confident learners over time.
