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.

Note: Due to high demand, I do not offer free intro calls or discounted sessions. Thank you for understanding. I didn't just walk in and get a perfect score. My first score was in the 50th percentile. I studied my way to 99th percentile, so it's definitely possible. I have a 99th percentile score on the GMAT, GRE, and SAT, and have taught for Manhattan Prep, Kaplan, and Target Test Prep. I don't just teach the content. I teach how to think. I have a Masters in Education from Harvard and have written a book on the mental approach to standardized tests.

Hello! I began my coaching career in the high-stakes world of test prep on the Upper East Side of New York City. Working at a boutique firm (Academic Approach), I taught all sections of the SAT at some of NYC's most elite schools, including Spence, Bamford-Nightingale, and Lycée Français de New York. I pride myself on meeting students where they are and working with them to achieve their full potential. I realize that this process is incredibly stressful on both students and parents, so I maintain constant communication throughout the journey.

Puzzled by ambiguous reading questions even after looking up the solutions? Running out of time on the reading section even with a timer? Should I use a semi-colon or em-dash in this writing question, aren't they the same?!... I get you. I've been there. But with a persistent study model, I achieved a top 1% score on the SAT and got into my dream school, Stanford, on a full-ride–despite English not being my mother tongue. How? It took more than cramming books. I tracked my strengths and weaknesses on a spreadsheet to see what I had to improve, built well-rounded reading habits (ranging from US founding documents to latest tech/science news), found smarter ways to time myself than anxiously checking my wrist watch every minute during the exams.
