Elite SAT Tutor/National Merit Finalist | 1560 SAT | Northwestern

Jaylen J.

If you're aiming for top-percentile SAT scores, I can get you there. I'm currently an undergraduate chemistry major at Northwestern University, a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, and I scored a 1560 on the SAT—with an 790 in Math and a 770 in Verbal. I also earned 5s on both AP Calculus BC and AP Literature among other AP courses I performed exceptionally in, so I bring strength in both the quantitative and verbal sides of the exam.

My tutoring is results-driven and highly personalized. I break down complex concepts into simple patterns, and I focus on high-yield strategies that actually change how you perform on test day—not just how much content you memorize. I teach students how to think like the SAT: fast, strategic, and accurate.

Whether you're looking for a major score jump or just fine-tuning the top percentiles, I’ll build a tailored prep plan that fits your current level, timeline, and goals. I offer a mix of curated high-quality materials, in-depth strategy sessions, and a teaching style that will help you with clarity, test psychology, and confidence under pressure.

Over the past year, I’ve tutored over 30 students in SAT prep, through structured group and individual sessions. As a volunteer tutor with Schoolhouse.world, I’ve helped students from across the country. Many of them came in with scores in the low-to-mid 1000s, and saw improvements of 200–400+ points after consistent tutoring.

In addition to SAT tutoring, I’ve spent nearly a year volunteering as a college advisor through Matriculate, a nonprofit that supports high-achieving, low-income high school students throughout the college application process. That experience sharpened my ability to guide students with different learning styles, stress levels, and academic backgrounds—not just in test prep, but in broader academic growth and goal setting.
