Having taken the SAT over 20 years ago and achieved a top score in the verbal section, my expertise has only grown since then. A lover of English, reading, and writing, my interests were already tailor made to tutor the SAT. And with ten plus years experience, I have a proven method to help students achieve their verbal goals and conquer the pressure of standardized tests.

With decades of experience in analytical problem-solving, teaching, and coaching, I bring a unique blend of precision and patience to SAT preparation. My background spans engineering, mathematics education, and strategic leadership — skills that have taught me how to break complex concepts into clear, practical steps students can actually apply. I’ve worked with learners at every level, helping them transform anxiety into confidence through structured strategies and consistent practice. I understand that mastering the SAT isn’t just about knowing the content — it’s about learning how to think critically, manage time, and approach every question with a calm, focused mindset. My students don’t just improve their scores; they build skills and self-belief that carry into college and beyond.

Since 2014, I have been prepping students for the SAT across three different versions of the exam. In the course of my time as a full-time tutor, I have worked with more than 500 SAT students. My experience is not limited to just those hoping for super-high scores to get into elite colleges, although I have certainly worked with such students. Instead, I have worked with students starting at every stage in the prep process and every starting point in terms of score. I offer full test preparation for both the Math section and the Reading and Writing section. Students who spend at least 10 sessions with me are likely to see at least a 100-point improvement in their composite score. Those with more than 20 sessions often see improvement more in the 150-200 point range. However, even those who book only a few session can also benefit, as time going over test-taking strategy and calculator skills can provide a boost of around 50 points.

I've been coaching students for the SAT since 2013, and I keep fully up to date on all the developments with the exam, including the recent change to the digital format. I have coached dozens of students in one-on-one tutoring, including students who have scored up to 1540 on the exam. What's important to me is personal improvement and a growth mindset: every mistake offers an opportunity to learn how to improve. For this reason, I ask all students to keep an Error Log of mistakes, so that we can understand your knowledge gaps as well as process errors, in order to help you score as high as possible on your next exam. Internationals welcome! I've worked with many students whose first language was not English, and I can provide specific resources to support you.
