Tutoring Experience

I have a strong passion for Mathematics and enjoy guiding students through SAT Maths preparation. My approach focuses on helping students strengthen their fundamental skills and build confidence in solving complex problems. My students consistently achieve exceptional results, with 93% gaining admission to their desired universities, including Cornell, Boston College, and Columbia.

Tutoring Approach

I begin SAT Maths preparation by assessing each student's understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts. My lessons build from foundational topics to advanced ones, ensuring the student is comfortable at every stage. We focus on applying these concepts to SAT questions, developing problem-solving strategies, and refining timing to maximise performance on test day.
