"Tutoring is something I value because I’ve seen how much of a difference the right guidance can make in a student’s confidence and performance. I remember working with a student who was stuck in the low 1100s on the SAT and felt like their goal score was out of reach. Together, we focused on breaking problems down step by step, learning to spot patterns in the test, and practicing with intention rather than just drilling questions. Over time, their confidence grew, and their score improved by more than 100 points. Moments like that remind me why I tutor—to help students discover that they are capable of more than they thought.

I also understand the SAT process firsthand, having scored above 1400 myself. That experience allows me to share not only content knowledge, but also strategies for time management, test-taking, and reducing stress on exam day. My approach balances sharpening core academic skills—like algebra, grammar, and reading comprehension—with teaching students how to think strategically under pressure. I emphasize consistency, practice, and confidence-building, since I’ve found that success on the SAT is just as much about mindset as it is about material.

Beyond test prep, I support students in their academic coursework, especially in math, English, and science. With a 4.2 GPA and honor roll recognition, I know what it takes to succeed in rigorous classes, and I enjoy helping students get there too. Whether it’s breaking down a complex math problem, guiding essay analysis, or preparing for exams, I adapt my explanations to each student’s learning style. My goal is always to make learning more approachable, less stressful, and ultimately rewarding." less...
