"For the past five years, I’ve taught AP-level classes and built a teaching style that’s clear, patient, and results-driven, with a focus on high school students. For the last three years, I’ve specialized in SAT/ACT prep, and my students typically improve by about 200 points on average—often reaching 1500+ and, in several cases, 1600. I’m a focused tutor who meets students where they are, then steadily raises the level: stronger fundamentals, sharper reasoning, better pacing, and the confidence to perform when the clock is running. I don’t rely on gimmicks or “one weird trick” strategies; I teach repeatable methods that hold up across sections and across test days.

I also tutor writing and history, and I do college counseling on the side—especially personal essay review—because strong scores matter, but strong communication matters too. I enjoy helping students find a voice that sounds like them, organize their ideas, and polish their work without losing authenticity. Outside of tutoring, I play tennis and saxophone, and I love jazz—music that rewards discipline, creativity, and learning patterns over time. Career-wise, I’m interested in cyber, space, and technology law, which is part of why I care so much about teaching students to read carefully, think logically, and express ideas clearly: those skills open doors far beyond a single exam." less...
