[cicadangel]

i've got like tunnel vision where right now like literally the only thing i can even think or care about is getting into a good college. i spend my every waking second busy, which i do enjoy, but it's... a lot. between swim and school and studying for the sat and internships and looking for internships and my job it's just all so much... and soon i'll have to start prepping for the ap exams... and just packing more and more and more on to my plate because i genuinely feel like im not doing enough. and the thing is i can't do anything less than what i'm doing if i want to get what i want, and i want it so bad that im willing to give up everything for it, i have to be working as hard and harder than i am. and i hate that i want it so bad but like.. that's not going to change.

i MIGHT survive public high school

Too Sweet - Jschlatt

Part 2

Masterlist

Reader is a math teacher who finds her computer science teacher coworker an asshole. Schlatt finds his algebra/geometry coworker very annoying. What happens when they are forced to be around each other and get along?

Schlatt takes a seat at one of the tables with a lunch from the cafeteria in his hand. You would prefer to just finish your lunch and not talk to him, but Ted has other plans. “Is there a game tonight?” Ted asks Schlatt.

“No, but we have one tomorrow night,” Schlatt replies.

“Is it at home?”

“Yes. Are you actually going to show up? You’ve mentioned it but I’ve never seen you there.” Schlatt looks up at Ted.

“I was just making small talk,” Ted admits with a laugh. Neither of you were the kind of teachers who go to games of any kind. You have in the past, but felt awkward when you sat by yourself.

“You may get some male leads if you show up. I know you’ve struggled with that in the past.”

You look at him. You want to speak up and say that there are many talented males in the theatre department. You also want to mention that unless he has some Troy Bolton’s on his team, it would be a waste of time.

“Are you going to the game?” Schlatt asks, looking up at you.

“Oh um I don’t know a lot about baseball,” you admit.

“It’s not that hard to understand. Plus my players may respect you more if you come to watch them play.”

You want to tell him to fuck off, but you know you need to be civil. “Yeah maybe. I guess I can check my schedule. Ted and I can go together,” you suggest.

Ted looks over at you with an apologetic look. “Yeah, kill two birds with one stone,” he jokes.

You all continue to eat. Ted and Schlatt are making small talk about random things while you listen. You hear the classroom door open and see Tucker or Mr.Keane, the environmental science teacher, walk in. “Sorry I’m late. I had to set up the lab for my next period. What did I miss?” He asks, sitting down near Schlatt.

“(Y/N) and I are attending the baseball game tomorrow if you want to join us,” Ted tells them.

“Sure since I’ve been trying to get you two to come to a game with me,” Tucker says, giving you both a look. “Oh (Y/N), how did your date go this weekend?”

“It was okay. I don’t think there will be a second one though,” you admit. You had met the guy on Tinder and he seemed nice, but there wasn’t much chemistry.

“Why not?” Schlatt asks. You wish he wasn’t here. Why did Ted have to be a nice guy and invite him to eat with you guys? You have formed a connection with Ted and Tucker and don’t feel like including someone else.

You shrug. “He was nice. We just had nothing in common. He also kept saying that he doesn’t understand why anyone would want to be a teacher.”

“You need to stop taking chances with Tinder guys,” Ted says.

“Oh he was from Tinder. There’s your problem right there. I can tell you why it didn’t work out for you,” Schlatt comments.

You sink in your seat a bit. You don’t mind if Tucker or Ted say something to you because you know they are teasing, but Schlatt’s words affect you more than they should. You check the time on your phone. You still have about fifteen more minutes of your lunch break, but you can’t stay here much longer. “I need to work on my lesson plans, so I’ll see you all later,” you say, standing up.

Ted gives you a knowing look. You can sense that he is aware of why you are really leaving. “Okay. Have a great rest of your day. I’ll see you after school,” Ted tells you.

You nod. Tucker waves at you with a mouthful of food. “Bye (Y/L/N),” Schlatt tells you as you walk out. “Is she always that quiet?” he asks Ted once he assumes you are gone.

You decide to stay and listen. “She’s shy, especially around people she doesn’t know well,” Ted tells him.

“I think you intimidate her,” Tucker speaks up. You want to walk in and let them know how you really feel about him, but decide to keep walking. You might as well actually go work on stuff while you have the chance.

As you walk away, you feel a tear fall down your cheek. You quickly wipe it away, not letting some asshole ruin your day.

-

At the end of the day, you gather your things. You walk by Schlatt's classroom, sighing in relief that he isn’t there. You are glad that he is at baseball practice so you don’t have to deal with him anymore today.

You smile when you see Ted standing by his Tacoma. You two carpool everyday since you live in the same apartment complex. “How did lesson planning go?” Ted asks, raising an eyebrow.

“”It was good. Got a lot done actually,” you tell him, getting in his truck. “How was the rest of your lunch?”

“Fine. Wish you were there, but other than that. It was good.”

“Why did you have to invite him to lunch?”

“I know Tucker can be a lot, but he’s my best friend,” he teases. You give him a look. “Schlatt’s not a bad guy. He just has no filter.”

“That’s a nice way to call someone an asshole,” you say, crossing your arms. “Well he’s mainly only an adshole to me, but still.”

“Maybe he likes you.”

You punch his arm. “I hate when people say that to our students. Just like I tell them, he is a bully and I’ll make a report.”

“Okay fair,” Ted says, rubbing his arm. “I think you just need to get to know each other. You actually have a lot in common.”

“I have nothing in common with him. The only thing we have in common is we teach in the same building and have the same prep period.”

Ted sighs, knowing that it is a loss cause to argue with you today. “Do you still want to go to the game tomorrow?”

“Yes. It would be good to watch my students play and it’s not like we have anything better to do with our lives.”

“Very true. I think it’s at like 6, so we can go home then I’ll pick you back up,” Ted tells you. You nod as he pulls in front of your apartments. “Have a great night, (Y/N/N). Call me if you need anything.”

You wave as you get out. “I will! See you tomorrow,” you tell him. You are greeted by your cat, Luna, as you walk inside your apartment. “Hi baby. Hope your day was better than mine.”

You quickly change out of your work clothes into your pajamas. You almost press on the Tinder app, but decide to delete it instead. Maybe Schlatt’s right, maybe you’ll meet someone in real life instead.

A/N: yay part 2!! I’m so excited to continue this fic!! I know Schlatt is an ass, but he gets better. (Maybe…) also yay for Tucker!! I feel like he would be such a shit stirrer and we love him for that. Please let me know what you think! Hope you enjoyed! I’m going to answer some reqs before I write part 3!

Can I request Sebastian with a gender neutral s/o (or master) who had a mental breakdown bcs of math and acted like nothing happened infront of him? (I'm gonna lose my mind over math)

My dearie, of course. I know, it has been a while, but now I am here. (That sounded like I'm some sort god-figure.) I'm about 90% sure that I have completely lost my mind over math and have no way of getting it back.

Sebastian comforting you after you lose your mind over your math homework

When the fuck did math get letters? Why does math need letters? Why must it make a problem out of everything? Who cares at what degree a certain angle of a roof of a weird art exhibition is. Why should you care at what height a discoball is located if a laser hits it at a certain angle? And who even thinks of such ridiculous problems?

Advanced education? More like an advanced headache. You've sat here at your desk for about three hours, longer than you planned to. You were just trying to do your homework, but nothing was working out. The numbers didn't add up, you don't even know where to start at. It is all too much, too much at once, you just can't handle it anymore.

Throwing away your pencil, you start sobbing over that darned piece of paper. What is this supposed to teach you? Well, nothing that matters to you, of course, yet you're still forced to keep up with algebra and geometry and analysis, totally useless in your daily life. If only these problems were solvable with tears. The only thing they do for you right now is smudge your already hastily written tasks and solutions. Oh, how you hate this. You can only hate this. How could you ever do anything else-?

Your door opens. What now? Who has come to bother you at your lowest point of the day?

"Is everything alright, my dear?", you hear, yet you don't look up. You don't have to do so to know who is there. You'd recognise his gentle voice in a crowded room full of people who don't know how to properly adjust their voice volume. You also want to save yourself from the embarrassment of him seeing your puffy red eyes. So you only mumble something into your arm, something along the lines of "Maybe, I don't know, leave me alone.".

But he didn't. Of course he didn't leave, he never really does what you tell him to. Just like his beloved cats, Sebastian does what he feels like doing at any given point. So if he wants to physically see your tears for his amusement, he will watch them slowly run down your cheeks. You hear how he places something infront of you.

"If everything truly was alright, you'd show me your beautifull face. So, look up for me.". That snarky bastard. You'd hate him for that if you didn't love him more. So you slowly look up to him, eyes all puffy and swollen. "See? I'm fine.". You finally realised he placed a batch of biscuits infront of you, freshly made of course. Sebastian looks down at you with that smirk he always seems to have on his face. "Well, I don't believe you. You're a bad liar, kitten. What is troubling you?". He doesn't even wait for your answer, he just looks down and responds with a little "Ah.". He saw everything he needed to see.

"Is your scholarship too hard on you again? Or is it you being too hard on yourself?", he asked while sitting down next to you. He seemingly tries to make out what you wrote, but it is simply incomprehensible thanks to your tears. "I told you already, it's nothing. Just some stupid problems. As if I would've brought them to class anyway..."

"Frustrated, are we?". "Shut it...", you deliberately look away, yet he pulls you into his arms and starts to stroke your head. "Now, no need to cry over silly made up numbers and problems. Rest your head for now.". Sebastian slightly nudges your head onto his chest. Maybe he's right. You should take a little break, just for now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phew, finally something fresh on my paige. As you can guess, I'm well and alive, more alive than well but alive nonetheless. I'll see how I can get back on track. But until then, I will fulfill the meaning of my name by disappearing suddenly and reappearing again. Like a little ghost.

Until then~

tf2 mercs except they’re teaching classes at my high school for no reason whatsoever other than that i’m feeling self-indulgent

Scout:

I know his ass would be a gym teacher

either that or a coach of some kind

health class might work too

i’ve seen teachers teach both so it might work out

he might not be the best teacher though

but the class likes him methinks

Soldier:

he’d be a history buff i think

i can just imagine him teaching US history his own way

barely abiding by the curriculum

i think it’d be a lot more hands-on than most history classes

a lot less written work and a lot more reenactments

because yes

he might also be a coach too

but idk

Pyro:

Financial algebra, statistics, and economics :thumbsup:

Demoman:

First thought would be chemistry

but then i was thinking about how he could teach stuff like concert or marching band

i think he’s good with music

not me with the baseless headcanons again

but idc

Heavy

i think he’d be a good English teacher :]

slow-paced, but in-depth

he wouldn’t move on unless everyone got something

i don’t think electronics would be used in his class period

so get ready for some writing

a lot of writing

either that or library science

or Russian (if the school offers it)

Engineer:

okay

engineering is a low hanging fruit

so that’s an option

but have you also considered guitar, geometry (or any core math class really), physical sciences, and/or speech?

i think he could do any of those tbh

he reminds me of my current geometry teacher kinda

he prolly talks to the other math teachers in the hallway about video games and stuff

he’s a dork /affectionate

Medic:

Health, biology, anatomy, sports medicine, forensic science, medical technology, ORCHESTRA

his ass is teaching ALL OF IT

bro has his schedule BOOKED

he’s bouncing around the school

rushing from class to class just like he’s a student himself

he’s an old man, how does he handle it?

cocaine the extra organs he had sewn into himself

how did he pass the background check?

idk

Sniper:

he’s giving substitute teacher

no but imagine your teacher not coming in one day and having fucking MICK MUNDY there instead

he’s either a sub or he teaches stuff like small animal care or herpetology

also SAT prep

i think he’s surprisingly good at taking tests

Spy:

i think he teaches piano

and choir

and theatre

bro is stressed out bc these are such performance-heavy classes

but it’s his fault for taking up all these classes

maybe he needs a bit of Medic’s help with management

he’s out for a couple days and winds up with a bunch of extra organs

math problems

Part two to my earlier fic, Dress Code! https://www.tumblr.com/1-have-no-idea/764501871738093568/dress-code

Character(s): Dogma, reader, interactions with Tup

Genre: fluff

Overview: Dogma finally asked you out. To tutor of course! He knew you needed it. What he didn’t anticipate was for an educational tutoring lesson into an unexpected sleepover.

Warning(s): Super awkward Dogma, Dogma has a super crush on you and hasn’t realized it, reader is bad at math

2077 words

———————————————————————————

Your strength was definitely not math. Most definitely. Working as an author and a barista, you didn’t really need to use math to be successful in life. Well, other than basic addition and subtraction, you didn’t need the rest. The rest was just using basic life skills. Going out for groceries? Doing taxes and paying for gas? That was math you could do, most definitely! However, when it came to finding the complete area of a room including the things inside of it, and then finding the angles of all the corners and all that pizazz, that’s something you couldn’t do. Yep. You could do algebra, but when it came to geometry? To calculus? Yeah, no.

Now, you weren’t very worried about that. You had a passing grade, and you had good grades! You were an average student, A’s and Bs, but in math? You had a C-minus. Yeah. Tinkering over a D. Of course, that’s not failing, but it was dangerously close to failing. You didn’t mind it. Someone else did. And guess who that person was? Not your guardians! Not your teacher! Dogma. Dogma was the person who minded your grade. The uptight man, the one you happened to befriend a couple days back, had noticed your bad grade in math, and also how you behaved in math, and it just didn’t sit right with him. So why not play the part of a good student and a helpful friend and tutor you? Not to mention, it would be extra, uh, quality time, but it’s not like that was the only reason Dogma wanted to tutor you! Not at all…. He was just there to help! So, here were the two of you currently, sitting in the lecture hall for math class. Dogma sat behind you, a little angled to your right, so he was able to see every expression you made and how you worked. Today was the day. Today, he would ask you if you’d like to tutor with him. Of course you would! This was your grade after all! Not because maybe you’d enjoy his personal presence as well, just as he enjoyed yours. That’d be getting ahead of himself, as much as he secretly wished that you enjoyed him just as much as he enjoyed you.

Subtly, he leaned forwards on his desk, resting his cheek on his palm as his eyes once again drifted towards you. Umber eyes fixated on you, watching your every expression and scanning every feature on your face.

Your brows furrowed, and a deep sigh escaped your lips as homework was passed out. Your eyes scanned over the questions, and Dogma watched as your nose scrunched up in disdain and annoyance as you huffed and pinched the bridge of your nose. The man was a hundred percent sure that the only thing that you held frustration for and visibly showed it was your math assignments and people who were mean. As the class was dismissed, Dogma made a beeline to your person, bumping into others and getting shoved in the process, but that was okay. And as soon as he finally approached you, he felt the need to puff his chest up and stand up straighter, clearing his throat before calling your name. You perked up, and looked up towards him with tired eyes, but he saw how they softened and you offered him a gentle smile despite your exhaustion from this class. You slung your bag over your shoulder and greeted him with friendliness. “Oh, hey Dogma. What’re you up to?” You asked, tilting your head slightly. Dogma averted his eyes from your gaze before mentally scolding himself and looking back at you, taking a deep breath before continuing. “I couldn’t help but notice your, uhm,” did he seriously just say ‘uhm.’ C’mon, Dogma, man up! It was just you, sweet, unjudging, albeit a bit underdressed, you! “-your frustration with this class, and I was here to offer my help to you.” He finally strained out, hands clasped behind his back tightly.

Your eyes widened slightly, before you let out a little laugh, regaining your composure. “Really? You’d do that?” You asked, and the soldier in training looked at you as if you just said the most baffling thing ever. “Of course I would, anything for–” you, “another fellow student in need of help.” He quickly corrected, his face flushing a small pink but it was quickly gone as quickly as it came. Just you, it’s just you, he’s fine. “Aw, thank you… I just feel bad, I wouldn’t want to be a bother,” you said, shrugging and smiling with worry lacing your tone. Dogma would have laughed at that statement. Or scoffed. He didn’t know which one. He ended up scoffing. “I resent those words.” He stated bluntly. “You could never be a bother. If you were, I wouldn’t have offered anyways.” He reassured, before swallowing. “My dorm at eight PM?” You hummed and nodded. “That sounds good! I’ll see ya tonight, Dogma.” You said with a toothy smile, before heading to your next class. Dogma stood there all puffed up and stiff until you were out of sight, before releasing the tension in his body and relaxing. He rubbed his nape and fiddled with the bottom of his dress shirt, shaking his head. That had to be the most nerve-wracking encounter he’s ever had with another student. And that’s saying something.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knock, kno–

Immediately, the door was thrown open. And you didn’t even get to knock twice! A part of you wondered if he’d been on the other side of the door even before you had arrived. Dogma stood there, smoothing back his hair as he opened the door wider for you. “Name! Right on time.” He praised, and you shrugged your shoulders. “I thought I was actually a little early.” You responded, and he tutted at you, shaking his head as he coaxed you in with a hand barely grazing your upper back. A very respectful touch. Or a hesitant one, you couldn’t tell. “Nonsense, you’re right on time.” He corrected, guiding you deeper inside his dorm. It was very clean, that was for sure. And organized. “I brought some sweets from the cafe. I know it’s late, but I didn’t know if you had a late dinner or…” you trailed off, and Dogma glanced at the box in your hands, before blushing. “Oh. Well, I— that is very thoughtful, thank you.” He murmured. His roommate perked up and peeked at the two of you while he cooked, blinking curiously. “Oh. Hey, Name.” Tup greeted, and you waved at him. “Hey, Tup! I didn’t know you were roommates with Dogma.” The mentioned male nodded, taking the box from you and laying it on his desk. “He’s my twin.” He explained, and your brows raised. “Oh! Really?” You asked, looking at the two of them before nodding to yourself. “That actually makes sense. I can see it.” You muttered, and Dogma pulled out a chair for you, everything on his desk already set up as he sat across from you. The two of you both sat down, and you pulled out the homework paper that was given out at the end of class and gave it to him. “This is what I don’t understand. It’s just— I don’t know, it’s too much.” Dogma scanned over the paper, before nodding. “What’s too much?” He asked, looking back to you, and you exhaled deeply. “The variables? I don’t know… it’s just– it’s just a lot of numbers and variables and fractions.” You explained, and before Dogma could continue, Tup approached the two of you and laid down two plates of freshly made food. “Food’s fuel for the brain.” He commented, and Dogma thanked him promptly and you smiled at the other twin. “Thanks, Tup…” you murmured, and he just nodded his head before going off to do his own thing. With a sigh, Dogma turned back to you. “Maybe we should eat first before we continue this. I think I have an idea for this.”

The two of you ate and chatted, well, you chatted. Dogma was rather quiet and listened, but you did get him to start complaining about a few of the students he seemed to dislike. It was rather enjoyable to hear the orderly man get all huffy and pouty over a couple of students who didn’t follow directions. You gladly listened and humored him with your own comments about the situations. This continued until the two of you started studying again, and even then, you still talked a lot. Dogma didn’t seem to mind. He actually realized you worked very well under a reward system.

…………………………….

Okay, it’s been an hour or two. The food was gone, so your rewards were gone. You were getting it, slowly, but now you were slacking off. Dogma could see it. Your eyes were becoming lidded and you got more quiet, and you seemed to not fully be there. “You only have two more questions left, Name. You can do it.” He encouraged gently, looking over your shoulder to see the work you were doing. You only managed a sleepy hum to him and nodded at his words. You sat there for another moment or two not doing anything. “I don’t understand this one.” You told him. Dogma scooted closer to you, just so your arms were brushing against each other and he tensed before relaxing again. “I see. First, what you do is distribute the–” you were tuning him out, just listening to the low notes in his voice that were slowly but surely lulling you to sleep. Not to mention his room was the perfect temperature, and just very relaxing. Your eyes lazily traced over the paper before moving to look at his shoulder brushing against yours, and Maker, was it tempting, but you fought against the urge to lean on him.

You tried your best to stay awake, but without even knowing it, your eyes fluttered shut and you drifted off into a soft slumber right next to your tutor.

And feeling the newly added weight to his shoulder, Dogma froze. He sucked in a breath and his eyes widened, sitting up straight as he looked down to his arm. You were leaning against his arm, face relaxed and soft and your chest rising and falling gently with each quiet breath you took in and breathed out. Merciful Maker. Dogma didn’t know what to do. His heart was starting to bang against his ribcage, and he couldn’t seem to relax. Not to mention, his face was burning. He had half a mind to wake you up, but… he just couldn’t find it in himself to do that. Not with you looking so peaceful. The man swallowed dryly, having a war in his mind before just going still. He laid there for a couple of minutes, until he finally heard your breaths even out and the soft snores leaving you. Then, he turned and shifted you so you were back in your chair, before standing up and hooking an arm under your legs. Wrapping the other around your back, he hefted you up with a soft grunt, holding you bridal style.

He held you like that, your head leaning against his chest before he finally moved and placed you on his bunk, tucking you in. Normally, he’d be completely against this, a person of the opposite sex in his own bunk, but… well he didn’t know. He didn’t mind it so much. His eyes softened as he watched you snoring softly in his bunk. “You did good today.” He whispered, even though he knew you didn’t hear him. Then, without thinking, he reached out a hand and brushed the hair out of your face, his hand lingering before he pulled away, clearing his throat and averting his eyes shyly. Hesitantly, he walked away, before grabbing the mostly filled out homework of yours. Then, finally, he went to the door, about to exit, but not before shutting off all the lights and sending you one last glance, before smiling softly to himself.

“Goodnight, Name. Sleep well.”

And that was the last thing he said before closing the door. He looked at the paper in his hands, before nodding. He’d do the rest for you. You worked hard today. He’d bend the rules just a little for you. It wasn’t that big of a deal.

Frankly Blank

A lust for learning in my high school years triggered in me a desire to know what lay outside the boundaries of my math classes.

Along came an irresistible temptation in the form of a course on Boolean algebra offered by a correspondence school which, they assured me, I could do at my own pace.

The material arrived, wrapped as tight as a mummy. When I opened Lesson One, my naive young self soon realized that I had dramatically over-estimated by math ability by quite a bit.

It was true that my math grades were light years better than Wanda’s, the girl who sat behind me in her one school dress not even bothering to take notes in our geometry class taught by the school's wrestling coach.

But man oh man, Boolean algebra was not of this world. I never even made it through the First Lesson. To this day, I have no idea what it is or what it’s used for.

Nor do I have any idea whatever happened to Miss Wanda.

I am frankly blank on both subjects.

[ellipse-society]

did you enjoy statistics as a class? why or why not?

I know this is only tangentially related but math in general has been an important part of my life so I'm going to talk about more math than just statistics here.

So firstly I was raised in a very math focused family. My dad was an engineer, my mom is an accountant and my sibling is now a data scientist(I'm the weird one whose into creative arts and the human brain lol). But yeah my dad started me on multiplication tables when I was in first grade and I've tended to excel in math my entire life(accept algebra. Numbers and letters don't belong together unless I have a picture to make it make sense lol). I ended up as the unofficial TA/substitute teacher in my high school geometry class(my teacher literally left notes to the substitute teachers that said I was in charge and all questions should go through me while she was gone and sat me next to the student who struggled the most so I could help him when he was struggling to comprehend the lessons). I was completing three days of lessons and homework in that class in typically about 5 minutes lol. And trig I chose to take for fun my senior year of college as an elective.

I only ended up taking statistics in high school because my dad convinced me to start algebra a year early(terrible idea. I hate algebra it's the worst and the fact that I was convinced by others to take both algebra classes as honors made it worse). But statistics was amazing and honestly made so much better by the fact that my teachers for both high school and college statistics were some of my favorite teachers. The high school statistics teacher used to be a circus performer and was so fun. Would have break times every class, give out candy, take time to tell stories about his life(some of which were made up as part of lessons to help us remember things better which made me jokingly say at the end of the class that what I learned was to never trust a good story lol). And for college I liked the teacher better for conditioning and learning because he had done plenty of studies regarding that that he enjoyed talking about. But yeah another tangential storyteller just never for actual learning when it came to statistics. He was just such a fun teacher though.

So why do I love statistics? Because I love math, I had some great teachers and I just love collecting and analyzing data in general. That was always my favorite part of the studies I did was working on the results section, noticing which data points fit with our hypotheses and which didn't when compiling data. And for our group study in college that was my area. When my group mates were like oh no were missing a number we need I'd go give me five seconds and expect an email because I just loved running those numbers. It's the most enjoyable part for me. To see the numbers and understand what they mean for the overall study. And I know it's not most peoples favorite part but it absolutely makes my day.

So yeah way more information than is necessary but yay statistics :)

High School Math Tutoring: What to Expect and How It Helps

For many students, high school math can be one of the most challenging subjects. From mastering algebraic expressions to understanding geometry proofs or grappling with the complexities of calculus, the journey through high school math is rarely smooth for everyone. That’s where high school math tutoring comes in—a powerful tool that not only strengthens academic performance but also builds long-term confidence.

What to Expect from High School Math Tutoring

1. Personalized Learning Plans

Unlike a traditional classroom where one size fits all, a math tutor provides tailored instruction based on the student’s specific strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. Whether your teen is struggling with basic concepts or wants to get ahead, tutoring sessions are customized to meet those goals.

2. Focused Attention

With one-on-one guidance, students receive the undivided attention they may not get in class. This helps tutors identify gaps in understanding and provide instant feedback, which accelerates the learning process.

3. Support with Homework & Test Prep

High school math tutoring also includes help with homework assignments, test preparation, and projects. This kind of targeted support ensures students stay on track and feel less overwhelmed during exam periods.

4. Better Study Habits

Beyond solving equations, a good tutor teaches students how to study more effectively, manage time, and think critically. These are lifelong skills that extend well beyond math class.

5. Confidence Building

Math anxiety is real. As students begin to grasp difficult concepts and see improvement, their confidence grows. This can translate to better participation in class and a more positive overall attitude toward learning.

How High School Math Tutoring Helps in the Long Run

Consistent tutoring can make a significant difference in a student’s academic trajectory. Here are a few long-term benefits:

Improved grades and GPA

Higher standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, AP exams)

Greater chances of college admission and scholarships

A stronger foundation for future STEM courses and careers

For families in Colorado, finding the right tutor is crucial. If you’re looking for experienced, qualified help, consider this option for a math tutor in Boulder who provides personalized, in-home or online instruction tailored to high school students.

Final Thoughts

Sixteen-year-old Jordan Hill didn’t think much about the SAT. He assumed it was just another long, boring test—another hoop to jump through. A quiet junior at Midtown High in St. Petersburg, Florida, Jordan was more invested in graphic novels and building circuit boards than bubbling in answer sheets.

But then came college fair day.

As Jordan walked past the booths—each one emblazoned with glossy photos of bright campuses and smiling students—he overheard a conversation between a rep from a top-tier engineering school and another student.

“We look for SAT scores above 1400,” the rep said with a kind smile. “That gives you the best shot at scholarship consideration.”

Jordan’s ears perked up. His parents had already told him that affording college wouldn’t be easy. Suddenly, that number—1400—was more than a benchmark. It was a key.

That night, he pulled out his SAT prep book, flipped through the pages, and frowned. The material looked dry, overwhelming, and—if he were honest—kind of terrifying.

“I didn’t even know where to begin,” he recalled. “And I’m good at math. But this test felt like it was written in another language.”

The next day, after confiding in his guidance counselor, he was pointed toward a solution he hadn’t considered: personalized sat tutoring

The Start of Something Different

Jordan started attending SAT tutoring twice a week at a local St. Petersburg tutoring center. His tutor, Ms. Reynolds, wasn’t the stern test-prep drill sergeant he feared. She was relaxed, enthusiastic, and seemed to understand right away where his strengths and weaknesses lay.

“The SAT isn’t about how smart you are,” she explained on day one. “It’s about how well you can play the game. And lucky for you, every game has rules—and strategies.”

She taught Jordan how to break down reading comprehension passages, even when they seemed irrelevant or archaic. He learned how to estimate on math questions and eliminate answer choices with logic, even when he wasn’t sure about the equation.

Most importantly, Ms. Reynolds introduced him to the power of practice and tracking.

The Notebook

Jordan began keeping a notebook—just like Ms. Reynolds suggested. Every time he got a question wrong on a practice test, he wrote it down, analyzed why, and rewrote the problem with annotations.

At first, it felt tedious. But within two weeks, something shifted. Patterns emerged. His mistakes weren’t random. He was rushing reading sections, missing nuance in word choice. In math, he made small errors by skipping steps.

The act of writing out his process, of facing each error head-on, became the turning point.

“My notebook became my coach,” Jordan said. “It reminded me where I had been and showed me where I could go.”

Data Doesn’t Lie

Ms. Reynolds also liked numbers, and every week she logged Jordan’s progress against national trends. Practice TestScore (Math + Verbal)Time Spent (Hours)Baseline Test11800Week 212306Week 4128012Week 6134020Week 8140028

The progress was consistent and motivating. According to national statistics from the College Board, students who prepare for at least 20 hours through tutoring and structured practice improve their scores by 90 to 150 points on average. Jordan’s jump from 1180 to 1400 placed him among the top 15% of test takers in Florida.

The Emotional Journey

But it wasn’t just academic improvement Jordan experienced.

He became more focused in his regular classes. His confidence rose. Once shy and reserved, he started participating more in group projects and volunteering to help classmates with geometry and algebra.

His parents noticed too.

“He came home excited about his tutoring sessions,” said his mother. “And it wasn’t just about the SAT. He was seeing himself in a new way.”

Even his friends began asking how he’d changed so much. Jordan started sharing his notebook strategies and even helped a friend write out a study plan.

The Weekend That Mattered

Test day finally came. Jordan walked into the testing center with his sharpened pencils, his calculator, and his now well-worn SAT notebook. He didn’t feel fear this time. He felt ready.

Two weeks later, the email arrived.

SAT Score: 1440

Tears welled up in his eyes—not because of the number, but because of what it meant. The scholarship was now within reach. His college dreams weren’t just dreams anymore—they were steps away.

A New Path Opens

Today, Jordan is a freshman at his dream university, pursuing electrical engineering. He volunteers with a tutoring program in his spare time, mentoring younger students who are just beginning their SAT journeys.

“I tell them what Ms. Reynolds told me,” he says. “This test doesn’t define you. But if you learn how to master it, it can open doors you never thought possible.”

And tucked inside his backpack is a fresh notebook, still half-empty, waiting to be filled with the next set of dreams and strategies.

Top Tips and Resources for SAT Preparation in India

SAT Preparation in India has become a priority for students aiming to secure admission to prestigious universities abroad. With thousands of Indian students applying to colleges in the U.S. and other countries each year, a competitive SAT score is often a critical part of the application process. To succeed, students need a clear strategy, reliable study resources, and consistent practice.

Understanding the SAT

The SAT is a standardized test administered by the College Board and is used primarily for college admissions in the United States. The test evaluates proficiency in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math. Achieving a strong score requires a solid grasp of academic fundamentals and strong test-taking skills.

Challenges Faced by Indian Students

While Indian students often excel in math, they may find the reading and writing sections more challenging due to differences in curriculum and exposure. Furthermore, the SAT’s emphasis on logic, reasoning, and timing requires a distinct approach compared to traditional school exams.

Effective Strategies for SAT Preparation in India

Start Early: Begin preparation at least 6 to 12 months in advance to allow ample time for understanding the test format and improving weak areas.

Use Official and Trusted Resources: Leverage resources from the College Board along with high-quality prep books and online platforms. These provide realistic practice and detailed explanations.

Focus on Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension: Regular reading of editorials, journals, and classic literature helps improve comprehension and vocabulary—key elements of the verbal section.

Practice Math Daily: SAT Math includes algebra, geometry, and data analysis. Regular practice with a focus on SAT-style questions is crucial.

Take Timed Mock Tests: Simulate exam conditions with full-length practice tests to build endurance and improve time management. Analyze each test to understand mistakes and refine strategies.

Track Progress and Adjust: Monitor your scores and adapt your study plan based on progress. Focusing more on weaker areas leads to more balanced performance.

Get Expert Help if Needed: Sometimes, self-study isn’t enough. Joining a coaching institute or working with a tutor can provide structure, accountability, and expert insight.

SAT preparation in India requires a smart blend of strategy, commitment, and the right guidance. With the right resources and expert support, students can overcome challenges and perform at their best on test day. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier college or looking to improve your score, staying focused and seeking support—such as from institutions like Uwezo Learning—can significantly boost your chances of success.

How the Digital SAT Differs from the Paper SAT (Complete Guide)

If you're a student (or a parent of one) who's getting ready for the SAT, you may have heard that the SAT is no longer just a paper test — it’s gone digital! That means students will now take the test on a computer or tablet instead of filling out answers with a pencil.

At Rawmould Education, we know this change has brought up a lot of questions. Don’t worry — we’re here to break everything down in a simple, friendly way.

Let’s look at how the new Digital SAT is different from the old Paper SAT, and how you can prepare smartly and confidently.

It's Shorter — and Smarter One of the biggest changes is that the Digital SAT is shorter than the paper version. • Old Paper SAT: Around 3 hours • New Digital SAT: About 2 hours and 14 minutes You read that right — it's over 45 minutes shorter! But don’t think the test has been "dumbed down." In fact, it’s smarter thanks to something called adaptive testing. At Digital SAT Online Coaching, we teach students how to strategically approach adaptive sections — giving them an edge that many self-learners miss.

2. Adaptive Testing: The Game-Changer The Digital SAT uses section-level adaptive testing. This means: • You’ll get two modules each for Math and Reading & Writing. • Your performance on the first module determines the difficulty level of the second module.

This format rewards consistency and strong test-taking skills. If you do well in the first half, you get more advanced questions — and a shot at a higher score.

Rawmould Tip: Practice matters more than ever. Getting used to adaptive testing helps you avoid surprises on test day.

3. Reading & Writing: More Bite-Sized Passages Good news: No more long, dense reading passages! The digital version replaces big blocks of text with shorter passages (often just a paragraph) followed by one question per passage.

This makes the test feel less overwhelming and improves pacing. You won’t waste time trying to remember the details of a 90-line passage.

At Best Digital SAT Online Coaching in Hyderabad, we train students to quickly identify key ideas and tackle grammar questions with precision — perfect for the new format.

4. Math: Calculators Allowed Throughout! Another major update: You can now use a calculator on the entire Math section. The College Board even provides a built-in Desmos graphing calculator, so you don’t have to bring your own.

This is a huge relief for students who struggle with mental math under time pressure.

Topics are still largely the same: algebra, geometry, data analysis, and advanced math Word problems are a bit more straightforward and focused With Rawmould's personalized coaching, we help students master calculator skills and choose the fastest route to the right answer — because accuracy AND speed matter.

5. Scoring Stays the Same — but Prep Changes The SAT still uses the 1600-point scale (800 Math + 800 Reading & Writing), so colleges won’t need to adjust their expectations. But your prep strategy must evolve.

• The adaptive format changes how you should review and practice. • The digital interface requires a new level of familiarity — especially for note-taking, highlighting, and pacing.

At Digital SAT Online Tutoring in Hyderabad, we simulate real test conditions using official tools and digital mocks. Our students walk in on test day feeling like pros.

6. Test Security is Improved Because each student’s test is unique (thanks to adaptive testing), the digital SAT is much harder to cheat on. That’s great news for students who value fairness. Plus, digital delivery means fewer errors in test delivery and scoring — and faster results (usually in just a few days!).

7. More Flexible Testing Options The digital SAT can be taken at approved test centers on school-provided or personal devices. Some schools are also offering in-school SAT Days, making access even more convenient. It’s a more modern, accessible experience — less stress, more opportunity.

Rawmould Education: Your Partner in Digital SAT Prep We understand that changes in testing can be intimidating. That’s why Rawmould Education offers tailored coaching programs, expert guidance, and digital test simulations that match the real experience.

Why students and parents love Rawmould: • Small batch sizes and personal attention • Digital-first resources that mirror the real SAT interface • Strategy sessions designed for adaptive testing • Expert mentors who track student progress closely • Real-time mock analysis and feedback

Q&A Session Q: Do colleges prefer the paper SAT over the digital one? A: Not at all! Colleges treat both formats equally. The scores are on the same 1600 scale and have the same credibility. Q: Can I still take the paper SAT if I prefer it? A: No. The College Board has fully phased out the paper version for international students and is transitioning the U.S. SAT completely to digital. Q: Is the digital SAT easier? A: It’s not necessarily easier, but it is more efficient. With shorter sections, focused questions, and adaptive difficulty, it can feel more manageable — if you're prepared. Q: Do I need to be good with tech to take the digital SAT? A: Basic comfort with computers is helpful, but the interface is designed to be student-friendly. At Rawmould Education, we familiarize every student with the tools before test day. Q: How soon should I start preparing? A: Ideally, 4–6 months before your planned test date. This allows time for concept mastery, mock testing, and skill-building — especially for adaptive sections.

Final Thoughts The shift to the Digital SAT is more than just a format update — it’s a whole new testing experience. But with the right prep and guidance, it can actually work to your advantage. At Rawmould Education, we believe in empowering students to rise to the challenge. Our coaching goes beyond just practice — we build skills, confidence, and strategy. Ready to master the new SAT?
