Package Description:
Certainly, let me provide a detailed breakdown of what you can expect from this comprehensive coaching package. 1. Detailed Diagnostic Test: Before we begin, each student will take a full-length, timed diagnostic SAT or ACT test. This initial test will help me understand your strengths and weaknesses, your test-taking style, and your familiarity with the test content. We'll review the results together to create a personalized study plan that best fits your needs. 2. Personalized Study Plan: Based on the diagnostic test's results, I'll devise a customized study plan that targets your weak areas and bolsters your strengths. This study plan will include a detailed schedule, clear learning objectives, and specific strategies for each section of the test. 3. Weekly Tutoring Sessions: We will have weekly one-on-one online tutoring sessions (with options for additional sessions if needed). During these sessions, we'll work through problem sets, dissect difficult questions, and discuss strategies for both content mastery and test-taking tactics. 4. Bi-weekly Full-Length Practice Tests: Regular practice is key to mastering the SAT and ACT tests. Every two weeks, you'll take a full-length practice test under timed conditions. These practice tests are designed to emulate the real test environment and will be followed by a thorough review of your answers. 5. Continuous Feedback and Progress Tracking: I'll provide regular, detailed feedback on your progress, including insights into areas of improvement and strategies for overcoming any challenges that arise. Progress tracking will be continuous and systematic, allowing us to tweak the study plan as needed. 6. Test Anxiety and Time Management Coaching: Test anxiety and time management are two critical factors in test performance. I'll provide strategies and techniques to manage test anxiety and improve your time management skills during the test. 7. College Admission Guidance: Besides preparing you for the SAT or ACT, this package also includes guidance on college admission processes, such as advice on writing compelling personal statements and navigating the complex landscape of college applications. 8. 24/7 Email Support: I will be available via email 24/7 to answer any questions that arise during your study. 9. Access to Premium Online Resources: You'll have access to top-notch online resources, including a library of practice tests, video lessons, study guides, and more. My ultimate goal with this comprehensive package is to not only equip you with the knowledge and skills to excel on your SAT or ACT but to also empower you to enter the college admission process with confidence. I firmly believe in the potential of every student and am committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Coaching delivered via live sessions.
1. Personalized Tutoring: Every student is unique—with different strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and goals. That's why my first step is always to understand each client's individual needs. I do this through a combination of detailed conversations and diagnostic tests. From this, I develop a personalized tutoring plan tailored specifically to the student's needs. 2. One-on-One Zoom Sessions: The primary mode of our interaction will be through one-on-one Zoom sessions. This virtual platform allows for flexibility and convenience, but I ensure these sessions are as interactive and effective as in-person ones. I use screen sharing for real-time problem-solving, utilize the virtual whiteboard for teaching concepts, and record sessions for later review. 3. Holistic Approach: I believe that doing well on the SAT or ACT is about more than just understanding the material. It's about knowing how to take the test. That's why, alongside teaching content, I also focus on test-taking strategies, time management, and stress management. 4. Encouraging and Empathetic Style: Having been through this process myself, I understand the stress and pressure students feel. I strive to create a positive, low-pressure environment in my sessions where mistakes are treated as opportunities for learning, not as failures. 5. Continuous Feedback and Communication: Open and regular communication is crucial in my coaching process. I provide clear and actionable feedback to students, discussing areas of improvement and celebrating achievements. I encourage students to communicate their worries, doubts, or difficulties without hesitation. 6. Lifelong Learning Principles: My goal isn't just to prepare students for the SAT or ACT—it's to equip them with skills that will serve them throughout their academic journey and beyond. I integrate lifelong learning principles like critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-motivation into my coaching. 7. Accessible and Responsive: Lastly, I pride myself on being accessible and responsive to all my clients. Whether it's answering a question via email or discussing concerns about the upcoming test, I'm always just a message or call away. My approach is designed to not just improve scores but also to build confidence, reduce stress, and inspire a love for learning. I believe that with the right guidance and support, every student can reach their full potential, and I'm committed to helping them along that journey.

Top 5% Harvard Graduate, 35 ACT, 6+ years of experience as full time tutor
I graduated from Harvard with the John Harvard Scholarship (top 5% GPA), a major in Integrative Biology, and a minor in Computer Science. I have over 6 years of experience working as a full-time tutor for the ACT, SAT, and SSAT. I have worked with over 55 clients on the ACT alone, and I have taken almost every practice test that has been released since 2014. In my free time, I create ACT software for the TI-Nspire Calculator and free online instructional videos for a wide audience. On average, my students have enjoyed improvements of anywhere between 4-9 points on the ACT. I know how to teach the English sections so that you will receive a perfect score. In the two tutoring companies I have worked for in the past, I was promoted to the highest tutoring status. I also work with college admissions, and of the six students I worked with this year, three received interviews to Harvard. I tutor full-time, and I am ready to help you reach the score of your dreams.
