"If you want your child to think critically and master the English that opens doors to their dream school, you’re in the right place.

Since 2019, I’ve helped hundreds of students ages 11 to 14 strengthen the reading, vocabulary, and reasoning skills they need to reach their target scores with confidence.

Each lesson is tailored to your student’s needs and goals. We focus on reading analysis, vocabulary development, pacing, and essay writing. Most students learn 5 to 10 new words per session and build steady confidence that lasts beyond test day.

One 8th grader raised her SSAT Verbal score from the 1st percentile to the 80th in only five weeks with two to three hours of tutoring per week. She improved by studying vocabulary, slowing down, applying logic, and trusting her skills.

Tutoring makes it easy to pinpoint exactly where students need support and teach strategies that work. With the right guidance, I’ve seen anxious test takers become confident, high‑scoring readers.

I hold a B.S. degree with TEFL/TESOL certification and have taught ESL and literacy at Los Angeles and Santa Barbara City Colleges. I’m also an IXL certified educator with over five years of specialized test prep experience.

My students finish tutoring as stronger readers, writers, and thinkers ready to thrive in their next academic chapter.
