"My name is Nikhil and I am an alumnus of Tufts University and St. Paul’s School. I am a strong test taker with experience scoring in the high 90th percentiles for the SSAT (prep/boarding school entry), SAT, and ACT. My students have been admitted to their top choice colleges (e.g., Georgetown, Yale, Tufts, Dartmouth, Columbia) and top choice preparatory high schools (e.g., Deerfield, Groton, St. Paul’s, Phillips Academy). I would love to help you or your child master their testing and essay writing so they can get ahead. I’m a good communicator and great with schedules.

I have experience studying for the SAT - scoring a 780 on the SAT math section and a 800 on the SAT Math 2 subject test.

My SAT knowledge extends to the PSAT - I have the tools, tips, and subject knowledge to help you get the score you want!

I am a strong essay writer with excellent grasp of mechanics and grammar. Additionally, I am a great writer of creative and analytical writing so I can be of assistance in revising your college or boarding school essays.

I took the SSAT! Not only have I taken the SSAT, but I scored a 99th percentile overall and ultimately received admission to top 5 boarding schools.

What makes me unique as a tutor is my firsthand experience taking these tests (and scoring in the high 90th percentiles for all of them). I understand that these tests are not always great indicators of intelligence but they are good indicators of time spent practicing - I can help you practice your way to a perfect score!" less...
