About Me

I am an experienced tutor specializing in U.S. admissions and graduate-level examinations, with over a decade of proven success in preparing students for the Digital SAT (Reading, Writing, and Math), ACT (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science), GMAT (Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights), and GRE (Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning). Having personally excelled on these exams and advanced through an Ivy League education, I bring both firsthand insight and academic expertise to my instruction. I also hold a PhD in Mathematics Education, which further informs my evidence-based approach to teaching and assessment.

Throughout my ten years of tutoring, I have worked with a diverse range of students, guiding them through every section of these examinations with individualized strategies and structured lesson plans. My instructional style emphasizes clarity, patience, and rigor, while also fostering an encouraging environment where students feel supported in mastering complex material. By blending strong content knowledge with approachable communication, I help students transform areas of difficulty into strengths.

My students have consistently achieved substantial score improvements, with many earning admission into highly selective universities and graduate programs. Beyond measurable results, I aim to cultivate skills in analytical thinking, academic discipline, and self-confidence that serve students well beyond standardized testing. My commitment lies not only in helping students achieve their target scores, but also in equipping them with the tools to succeed in their broader academic and professional pursuits.

Tutor Experience

Over the past ten years, I have dedicated my career to tutoring students in all sections of the Digital SAT, ACT, GMAT, and GRE, helping them navigate the rigorous demands of standardized testing with confidence. My work has included designing targeted lesson plans, developing personalized study strategies, and ensuring students gain both content mastery and test-taking skills. This comprehensive approach has allowed me to support students from diverse academic backgrounds, each with unique goals and challenges.

My teaching experience is informed by a strong academic foundation, including an Ivy League education and a PhD in Mathematics Education. These experiences have shaped my evidence-based instructional methods, ensuring that lessons are not only effective but also grounded in research on how students learn best. In addition to subject mastery, I focus on building problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and resilience, which are essential for both exams and long-term academic success.

The impact of my teaching is reflected in the achievements of my students, many of whom have realized significant score improvements and earned admission to competitive undergraduate and graduate programs. I take great pride in maintaining a tutoring style that is both professional and approachable, creating a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, engage with complex material, and push themselves to reach their highest potential.
