I've been mentoring students to take the ACT since 2005. I was first trained by Kaplan to teach the SAT and in the mid-aughts, the ACT wasn't as popular on the East Coast, so I trained myself to take the test. I have take official practice tests and scored 35s/36s on at least 6 full length tests, but I never sat for it officially. In 2015, while working as a HS teacher in Eagle, Colorado, I was officially trained by The Princeton Review to teach all 4 sections. That training helped me pick up a few new tricks that helped me perfect my craft. I feel my biggest asset is not my content knowledge or teaching skills, but rather my ability to connect with learners on a personal level. I really enjoy the time spent with my students. I empathize with this period in high schoolers' lives and I know the pressures they face. I go through all the highs and lows with them while keeping them motivated, positive, and feeling good about their progress. I believe learning should feel like an enjoyable struggle. It's hard work, but the end result makes the effort worth it and that much more gratifying.

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.

I took the ACT twice and got a 34 and 35 with no tutoring. I was able to improve my score simply through reading and realizing my own shortcomings.

I have experience in strategy and product management roles at The Walt Disney Company, LinkedIn, Spotify, and startups ranging from pre-seed to Series B. I am currently on the enterprise jobs team at LinkedIn. I also have interviewed with Meta and Uber in strategy/product roles. I have had experience in data science and operations at Cisco and General Electric. I have received offers at management consultancies such as EY-Parthenon and AlixPartners and been in final rounds at McKinsey & Company, LEK, Bain & Company, and Boston Consulting Group. I have done over 200 case interviews and have coached all 3 of my candidates to MBB(2 to McKinsey, 1 to BCG). I am happy to administer mock interviews, provide resume assistance, and give highly tailored networking advice. I’m able to help students and professionals of all background and particularly those from non-target backgrounds. Whether it’s test prep, interview prep, or anything else related to your success, I’m happy to help.

I graduated in three years from the University of Miami with a Bachelors degree in the fields of Environmental Science and Economics. I specialize in raising students' scores on the ACT and SAT. With 6 years of experience and over 100 students coached, with many of those students receiving score increases greater than 5 points on the ACT, I am confident that I can help you reach your goal score. I also worked for a test prep company where I gained valuable skills and insights into guaranteeing score increases with all the students I worked with. I have a proven step by step system to raise your score. It starts with learning the key concepts that are tested and then applying these concepts in real test questions from tests. I am passionate, patient, and empathetic, and I believe that every student has their own academic talents that are revealed when provided the right environment and mentor.

I received a 36 on the ACT and have since mentored students in both high school and college to boost ACT scores into the mid-high 30's.
