As a Stanford graduate and former tutor for high-performing students, I’ve helped dozens of students break past their score plateaus and reach their target scores—including 1500+ breakthroughs and perfect section scores. My own SAT score of 1570 (800 Math, 770 Verbal) reflects the strategies I now teach: targeted review, test-day mindset, and precision-based learning. What sets me apart is my ability to personalize plans for every kind of test-taker. Whether you struggle with timing, confidence, or content gaps, I help you identify exactly what’s holding you back and fix it—fast. My clients walk away not only with higher scores, but also with stronger problem-solving skills and self-belief.

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.

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 hundreds of students coached, with many of those students receiving score increases greater than 200 points on the SAT, 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.
