"Hi there! I graduated cum laude with a dual degree in Chemistry and Sociology. I am a former owner of a test prep company who transitioned into the tech industry as a data scientist a few years ago. For 15 years, I trained and led a team of 15+ tutors who engaged students with a proven, customized curriculum.
I initially launched a tutoring company because I noticed that the approaches most companies were taking towards test prep were boring, outdated, and expensive. What's worse is that the success students found in these programs was inconsistent. I poured countless hours into analyzing the tests, categorizing questions not based on the question type, but instead by how students were performing on and interpreting those questions. I relentlessly tested and documented new strategies, taking feedback from our entire staff, parents, but primarily from students.
During the time I ran the company, we served thousands of students, averaging a 95% success rate in raising scores by 4+ points on the ACT. The most common accolade I received from my clients was that their child had learned more in the free 30-minute consultation we offered than they did in a 16-week program with a competitor.
My approach based on building rapport, discussing academic concepts in an approachable way, and, most importantly, improving scores.
I am currently working with a startup to build out a new data platform, but despite my career change, I still take ACT and SAT exams in my free time for fun. I love to game tests, and I really miss working with high schoolers!" less...
