KNOCKOUT TUTORING

Algebra

​

            You may have noticed that your student is scoring lower than expected in Algebra. While the SAT Algebra problems include the simple linear equation problems, rearranging of equations, and solving for x problems that you may expect, they also include more complex problems that involve constants or confusing word problems that cloak simple concepts in hard to understand phrasing. We will work with your student to learn which types of problems they struggle with and teach them the concepts behind these difficult problems.

 

            They will also learn how to use DESMOS and their graphing calculator to support them in tackling quicker problems. They’ll come out knowing how to approach confusing problems and how to use their time wisely with the help from their calculator.

Advanced Math

​

            The Advanced Math section includes some topics students may have never learned in school, and they may be missing points simply because they don’t know to study what they don’t know. We go over these topics with every single student to double check if they’ve learned them. If they have not, I’ll give them as many in-depth lessons as they need in order for them to understand it.

​

​Problem Solving and Data Analysis

           

         Many students have little experience with Problem Solving and Data Analysis problems unless they’ve taken a Statistics course. Fortunately, these Problem Solving and Data Analysis questions make up the smallest percent of Math questions on the SAT. Your student will learn about bias and randomness in studies, probability and ratios, graphs and scatterplots, and most importantly: percentages.

​

Geometry and Trigonometry

       

           Geometry and Trigonometry includes, surprise, geometry and trigonometry questions! Many students haven’t taken a geometry class in a few years so we review these topics with every student, even if they feel quite comfortable in this section. Many students also haven’t learned much trig or haven’t learned the specific trig that’s on the test so we spend quite a bit of time on trig and triangles. Through rigorous practice with problems published by Collegeboard, students will be comfortable with any geometry questions that appear on the test.

Get Ready to Improve!

           

             The Math section is a very topic-driven section, with dozens and dozens of subtopics a student may be struggling with that they may not even be able to name. Through personalized education and practice with full length SAT practice tests, we can identify the areas your student needs work in and provide them with the education, support, and practice necessary to ensure they walk into the SAT prepared ready to get a great score!​​​
