Maria D. Jaraba

Maria first joined Strategic Test Prep as a student, where she improved her score by 100 points through hard work and consistent strategy. Inspired by her own success, she began tutoring with us a year ago and has quickly become a student favorite. Known for her down-to-earth personality and clear, relatable explanations, Maria has a natural ability to connect with teens — she was in their shoes not long ago and gets what they're going through.

Maria recently took the SAT again in May 2025 and scored an impressive 1510 (760 Evidence-Based Reading & Writing, 750 Math), demonstrating her continued mastery of the test. She is headed to the University of Notre Dame this fall, and we’re lucky to have her on the team!
