In this episode, Daniel Ryave, SAT/ACT prep tutor and social media content creator with 262,000 followers, reveals how he transformed from Peace Corps teacher to viral TikTok educator launching satpreptutordaniel.com. Drawing from tutoring 32 students in 2025 alone, Daniel explains why the digital SAT's biggest challenge isn't the content but helping students bounce back after missing questions in the new rapid-fire format. He discusses his unconventional homework assignments—like taking practice tests with ticking clock YouTube videos playing to simulate test anxiety—and shares why he gives students a dollar every time he makes a mistake during sessions, creating psychological safety that transforms the tutoring dynamic.
