With decades of experience in analytical problem-solving, teaching, and coaching, I bring a unique blend of precision and patience to SAT preparation.

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.

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.

Carl has taught, literally, thousands of students to succeed on the SAT, and thousands more the ACT, LSAT, GRE, and GMAT, over a career spanning over two decades in the test preparation world. Originally an academic, he holds advanced degrees from Yale, the University of Glasgow, and the University of Georgia, and since leaving academia he has taught, tutored, and written content for Magoosh, Kaplan, Harvard Prep, SuccessPrep, Parliament Tutors, Varsity Tutors, and many other companies, and has since founded his own company, Ivory Tower Tutoring. He was also, for many years, the chief writer for Barron''s GMAT product line.

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 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 25 clients on the SAT alone, and I have taken almost every practice test that has been released since 2014. In my free time, I create SAT 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 150-250 points on the SAT. I know how to teach the Writing sections so that you will receive a perfect score. Two of my students have increased their scores from 600-800 in this section, and most of my students end my program scoring perfectly on the writing section especially. 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 with Harvard. I tutor full-time, and I am ready to help you reach the score of your dreams.

Since taking the SAT in 2018, I've used my experiences studying for and taking the exam to help students achieve similar results. Of all standardized tests, the SAT is arguably the most consistent and predetermined (i.e. you're always guaranteed to get X number of questions per concept in the math sections). I leverage this knowledge to create a well rounded approach to studying for my students to ensure they are positioned to score exceptionally well and strengthen their undergraduate application.

I have for over 10 years now successfully coached clients as they prepared for their first and subsequent SAT sittings. My Clients usually see a minimum of 100 points score improvement after working with me.
