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.

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.
