"I help middle schoolers and motivated high schoolers get the test scores that open doors to great schools and build lasting confidence.

Spring is a key time for private school admissions. Whether your child is preparing for the ISEE or catching up after winter, this is when focused tutoring makes the biggest impact.

Progress happens fast with the right plan. One eighth grader jumped from the 3rd to the 80th percentile in five weeks with focused SSAT prep, just 2 to 3 hours a week.

I focus on I focus on students who have 8 to 12 weeks to prepare for exams, although 5 to 6 weeks of targeted work can also develop key skills and significantly improve scores.

Most of my students have 9 to 12 weeks to prepare for exams, although 5 to 7 weeks of targeted work can also develop key skills and significantly improve scores.

Since 2019, I have helped dozens of students build the verbal skills needed for these tests, including reading comprehension, vocabulary (50-150 new words), logical reasoning, and essay writing. I work with students in grades 6-8 and beyond, creating lessons to help them achieve their goals.

My approach blends fundamentals with strategy. First, confidence (no panic). Then skills (reading, writing, pacing). Finally, performance (ability to withstand pressure). I adjust to fit your child.

Your child will gain confidence and skills that will help them in high school. They will see themselves as capable and prepared, not only for this test but also for future challenges.

Ready to see what your child can achieve? Let's make a plan." less...
