My two younger brothers scored 26s on their first ACT exams, but we were able to raise their scores to 36 and 35. I have also helped students who came to me with 1250s on their SATs, and after almost two months of tutoring, they walked away with 1500+ scores. I find great satisfaction in helping students achieve their "aha" moments and shatter their previous expectations.

I started tutoring as a freshman at Harvard as a way to give back to my community. I had scored in the top 1% of the ACT and SAT and I wanted other members of my city to have access to the same level of elite prep that I had enjoyed through several private ACT/SAT prep courses.

I began working as a premium tutor for a test prep company and I quickly realized that not all tutors treated their responsibilities the same way. I saw that some tutors merely went through the motions, while others knew exactly which strategies to employ.

That's why I developed a patented test prep strategy, which has consistently led my students to increase their scores by double and triple the average increases of competitors. I came up with this plan after surveying 25 Harvard students to find out what factors led them to score perfectly on their exams.

When I implemented these strategies, they worked! Every week, I met new students and taught them using this strategy. Like clockwork, after about five hours of tutoring, their English/Writing scores became nearly perfect and they began applying to more prestigious universities and thinking about scholarships they never would have dreamed of before.

I tutor because I know how to consistently produce positive results. I love the satisfaction that comes from helping students achieve results they never thought possible.

I am excited to work with you! The sky is the limit, and if you want a perfect score or a big edge in the admissions process, I know exactly how to help you get there. Head to my profile to get started.
