Experienced SAT/AP Tutor with 5+ years of Experience

Divij G.

I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics, where I maintain a 3.88 GPA as a Chancellor’s Honors Scholar. I have a strong academic foundation, supported by a perfect 1600 SAT score in high school and 5s on all my AP exams, including AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C, and AP Computer Science A.

I have been tutoring students consistently since 2021 and have over five years of experience working with middle school and high school students in both one-on-one and small group settings. I have worked as a premium SAT tutor and academic tutor for multiple tutoring organizations, where I provided personalized instruction to students of varying skill levels and goals. My experience includes tutoring the Digital SAT, AP subjects, and core math courses, both remotely and in person. Across these roles, I have worked with dozens of students, and many of my students have increased their SAT scores by several hundred points through structured preparation and targeted practice.

My tutoring approach is highly individualized and strategy-focused. I begin by identifying each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style through diagnostics and discussion, then design customized lesson plans that emphasize concept mastery, efficient problem-solving strategies, and time management. I focus on building confidence alongside skills, breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps and reinforcing them through guided practice and review. I also track student progress closely and adapt instruction as needed to ensure steady improvement. My goal is not only to help students perform well on exams, but to develop long-term academic skills that will benefit them beyond a single test. I look forward to working with you!
