"My journey into tutoring began over five years ago, grounded in both academic achievement and professional training. After completing my own standardized testing path—earning a 1560 on the SAT, a 34 on the ACT, and a 516 on the MCAT—I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Johns Hopkins University and later completed a Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania. I also became a certified instructor through The Princeton Review, where I developed a strong framework for teaching clear concepts, efficient strategies, and confident test execution.

Since then, I have supported students across a wide range of ages and academic goals, from middle school learners strengthening core skills to high school students preparing for competitive exams and selective college admissions. I have taught in both one-on-one and small group settings, helping students improve math reasoning, reading comprehension, and test endurance while learning how to stay composed under pressure. Each student receives a personalized plan built around their learning style, strengths, and areas for growth.

My instructional approach blends structure with encouragement. I focus on helping students understand why answers work, recognize common traps, and apply strategies consistently. Sessions are goal-oriented and practical, emphasizing steady improvement rather than short-term fixes.

What continues to inspire me is watching students gain confidence and independence over time. I strive to create a supportive environment where questions are welcomed, progress is celebrated, and skills extend beyond a single exam. My ultimate goal is to help every student feel prepared, capable, and confident in reaching their academic potential." less...
