About Ryan
Hi! I’m Ryan. I am a former Hillsborough County Public Schools science/math teacher currently working in the finance industry, with more than fourteen of experience specializing in SAT preparation.
I previously held Florida teaching certifications in Mathematics (Grades 5–9), Chemistry (Grades 6–12), and Exceptional Student Education (Grades K–12). In 2010, as a high school junior, I earned a perfect 800 on the SAT Mathematics section, along with scores of 670 in Critical Reading and 710 in Writing, including a 9/10 on the essay, for a score of 2180/2400 (98th percentile), equivalent to approximately 1510/1600 today.
Since 2012, I have worked extensively with students preparing for the SAT and strengthening their mathematical and reading comprehension foundations. My instruction emphasizes subject mastery, disciplined problem-solving, efficient test-taking strategies, and confidence under timed conditions.
I have assignments for students of varying ability, but all students are expected to create SAT flashcards, the key to my SAT prep method. Students transform missed questions from official practice tests into personalized review resources designed to reinforce understanding and improve long-term retention.
Sessions are conducted remotely, from my home in Carrollwood, or from the Starbucks at 10002 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618. I meet with most students once weekly for one hour, but can and will adjust this based on a student's goals, grade level, and time remaining until test day.
For families seeking a rigorous, methodical, results-driven approach to SAT preparation, I offer a program grounded in experience, organization, and measurable student growth that has proven effective time and time again.

Creating SAT flashcards and memorizing the solutions to the questions on those flashcards is the key to my approach to SAT prep. In between sessions, students complete both reading/writing modules or both mathematics modules within a specific official practice test. They then email me lists of numbers corresponding to the questions they answered incorrectly. One then emails me lists of numbers corresponding to the questions one answered incorrectly in each module. I will reply with images of these questions along with a 5-minute video tutorial on how to upload, format, print, and glue them onto index cards.
During our sessions, as we review the questions together, I will write the answer explanations / solutions on the boards on the online whiteboard while the student copies them onto the back of each index card. This flashcard method is central to my SAT prep program; organizing and memorizing solutions to previously missed questions greatly improves the likelihood of success on subsequent practice tests and the actual exam.
In addition to creating new flashcards each week, one will also review one's completed SAT flashcards. Both the reading/writing and mathematics flashcards get separated into two piles: the first is for the questions the student now understands while the second is for the questions with which the student is still struggling. One continues to review the questions in the second pile until all of the flashcards are back in a singular pile. Then, one begins the process anew. Truly memorizing the solutions / answer explanations to the questions one originally answered incorrectly is the best way for one to increase one's score in both reading/writing and mathematics.

Experienced and Dedicated Tutor
My daughter just had her first SAT Essay session with Ryan. She appreciated his help especially because he was very detailed and critical, which will help her improve. He provided his compiled notes for math and grammar to help her review and prepare for the multiple questions. Our first lesson and communications with Ryan prove him to be very dedicated. He gives follow homework and also is willing to personalize the lessons and contents to meet my daughter’s need. Both of us were very pleased to start the lesson today and we plan on continuing with regular sessions with Ryan until she achieves satisfying score for SAT. Thank you Ryan.Awesome CLEP Algebra Tutor for me and 2 sons!!
He came prepared and wasted no time getting started on the session. He was patient in his explanations! We will definitely continue using Ryan!Ryan is teaching my daughter Algebra II and Geometry. He is extremely patient with her and understands how to help her without overwhelming her. I was pleased with his efforts and would definitely recommend him.
Ryan has helped me progress quickly in an online summer algebra course. His laid back approach helps me feel comfortable and I really like how he's able to tell when I need assistance on a problem, or can tell that I'm just figuring it out in my head. I've had tutors in the past that weren't able to explain how to solve the equation but this isn't so with Ryan. He knows his stuff! He is extremely knowledgeable in algebra and I hope to have him throughout my freshman year of high school.
Ryan is cool and did a great job with my son. They were able to clear a few assignments and set up for more to come, and added a few more subjects in the long run! Woo Hoo!
My son had a chemistry test today and Ryan was able to help him feel confident in his material which helped my son achieve an "A" on his test. Ryan was prompt and very thorough. He followed up with an explanation of the material he covered and what my son can expect to cover in the future. Thank you so much Ryan. Superb job!
My daughter has only had one lesson from Ryan. She told me this morning that he made her have a couple of ah ha moments. He was very patient with her and made her feel comfortable.
Ryan is a great tutor, he's very patient and kindhearted. He's always on time and I love doing 2 hour sessions with him.
This was my first time using a math tutor as an adult and I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking for an honest and knowledgeable tutor.
Ryan is amazing, thorough and concise SAT tutor. I a very pleased with working with him and look forward to continuing to work with him.
Knowledgable and Thorough Algebra II Tutor
Ryan is not only very knowledgeable, he recaps the lessons in great detail, making it clear that he is not just going through the motions. We've only had 3 lessons so far, but I'm sure that my son's performance, comprehension and grades will improve.Ryan is an excellent tutor, he is very prompt, knowledgeable, and works well with the students. Thanks Ryan for the great job.
We initially hired Ryan to help Andrew prepare for a high school placement test. Andrew was struggling with a few subjects at school at the time but was having the most trouble in math. Our goal initially was just to get through the high school placement test but Ryan did such an outstanding job helping Andrew with math we have decided to continue his services on a weekly basis. Andrew's math grade went from a D to a B- in just a few weeks. Andrew tells me that Ryan really helps him understand the problems and teaches him strategies to figure them out. Ryan is a very conscientious, kind, reliable, skilled, and responsible tutor, we could not be any more pleased!
Ryan helped my son study for his EOC for Alg 2 Honors. In 2 lessons, he was able to address some problem areas and help him to understand the concepts. He is going to continue to help him study for the SAT.
Ryan is doing a great job helping my sophomore (high school) daughter with both geometry and chemistry. He is reinforcing the key concepts and doing it in a way that she can understand and apply them. I highly recommend him!
Knowledgable and Patient Tutor
I am a 9th grader in Algebra 2 Honors. I took Algebra 1 in the 7th grade, I had a lot of questions. No matter how many questions I asked Ryan he answered me. This was my first tutor lesson and I was pleased.Ryan has been consistently helping my son (4th grade) improve in various academic areas. Not only has he been a great tutor but he has brought my son a lot of confidence in all material learned. Thank you so much for all your patience Ryan :)
My daughter has been struggling in Chemistry this year so we hired Ryan. She really liked Ryan's teaching style and has gained some confidence in Chemistry after only two sessions with Ryan. He was punctual and very pleasant with my daughter. She was nervous about having a male tutor but after the first session she said he was the best tutor she has ever had. Thanks Ryan.
PERT Math Prep
Well verse in this subject. He was well prepared for any questions I ask him. I will definitely, continue to work this tutor.My son has been struggling with chemistry all year. He said Ryan really help him and made it much easier to understand! We are going to continue with Ryan so my son can get a solid handle on his class this year!
Ryan was very helpful. Explained things very well and did a fantastic job breaking things down and making sure they were understandable. He made a big difference in helping me prepare for a very difficult chemistry test.
Great HS Geometry Tutor
Ryan is respectful, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He sought out more complicated questions than the questions offered in my son's textbooks. Ryan is organized and plans ahead. Very professional and low key. My HS son is currently working with him weekly. We will continue our session with him this summer.Ryan was really helpful and patience, I definitely suggest you book him for PERT, he was ready to answer all my questions with explanations.

Ryan is working with me on better understanding Algebra in preparation for my CLEP exam. He is very patient and to the point. He takes time to send practice exams and questions to help make better use of one hour tutoring sessions.My son had his first tutoring session with Ryan last week. Algebra !. Ryan is very personable and worked well with my son. I think we will be working a lot more with Ryan as the school year develops and the math gets harder.
Before I met Ryan, my SAT math score on practice tests was around a 600. After just two months of meeting with Ryan on a weekly basis, I scored a 750 on my most recent practice test. I am so much more confident going into this SAT than I was last time around, and that is all thanks to Ryan. He is truly an excellent SAT tutor.

My son is a highschool student and he's currently working with Ryan prepping for SAT. My son is very pleased with Ryan's tutoring style and his skills. Ryan's help is very beneficial for the overall improvement not just for the test. Thanks Ryan!
Ryan tutored my son in both Math and Reading sections of the SAT. He is very knowledgeable in all subjects, patient, focused, and informative. My son learned a lot in a short time and we definitely plan to use Ryan again. We highly recommend Ryan.
Ryan gave me advice for tackling the math subtest...with/without calculator and how to better prepare myself using practice tests and color coded index cards for the problems I am having difficulty with.
He taught my son SAT math. He is organized. Patient. Explains concepts exceptionally well to kids that struggle with math concepts. We would HIGHLY recommend Ryan
Ryan has been helping my son for almost a year. He has really helped him improve his grades and is so easy to work with. Most importantly, he explains the subject (algebra, chemistry, physics) in a way that it "makes sense." We also use Ryan now as his SAT prep tutor. I highly recommend Ryan as a tutor!!!
Very knowledgeable and patient
I have been very impressed with the way Ryan has been tutoring my son. He is not only patient but able to explain and give him specific methods to help him improve. I wish Ryan had been able to tutor my older son. I had sent my older son to one of the well-known SAT/ACT prep companies however I was not impressed with them. This is why I looked for another way of tutoring for my youngest son. I am very impressed with the quality of work Ryan has been doing.Ryan made huge difference in confidence level for my daughter handling SAT. 16+ hours has been excellent. I highly recommend Ryan and I would definitely reach out to him again.
Amazing SAT math tutor
Ryan has been instrumental in helping my daughter improve her math score. He is reliable and patient and gives her a lot of confidence. I’m so grateful to have found him on Wyzant.Getting ready for the SAT
My son really like Ryan and thinks he will help him get ready for the SAT. Was very knowledgeable and patient. Bryce said it was a 10 out of 10 session 😊 As a parent I am very happy.Ryan is very hands on, his follow up is excellent and he really listens to what a student is looking for. He goes above and beyond, providing topics for the student to work on between sessions etc. Highly recommend!
He is very good at what he does. Teaches with patience and is thorough. Takes his time and is always on time. I can’t say enough about him. Thank you Ryan for everything.
Superb SAT Tutor
We hired Ryan to help our Junior improve her SAT score. She is incredibly intelligent, takes AP classes and gets straight A's but none of this reflected in her SAT score. She is a horrible test taker, timed tests freak her out. Ryan worked with her all summer. His method of having students take a pre-test each week so he can customize the homework and zone in on the weaknesses is brilliant! Since numbers don't lie I'll happily share that two months ago she was pre-testing at around an 1160 and last week she score a 1500! We are so incredibly happy and thankful we found Ryan! I cannot recommend him enough. He is the best!View more recommendations
