Tutoring Experience

I have spent the past five years tutoring, with a strong focus on SAT preparation over the last three years. My approach is rooted in building a deep understanding of test structures and developing strategies tailored to each student’s needs. I’m proud that 93% of my students have achieved their desired scores, gaining admission to schools like Cornell, Columbia, and Boston College.

We focus on mastering core topics, applying them to practice questions, and refining strategies for efficient problem-solving. With step-by-step guidance and timing practice, I help students build confidence and maximise their test performance.
