Bio

I'm a student at Purdue University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, where I've maintained a 3.9 GPA and earned Dean's List honors every semester. My own results are a big part of why I love SAT and ACT prep: I scored a 1560 on the SAT, including a perfect 800 on the Math section, and a 35 composite on the ACT, with a 36 in English, a 35 in Reading, a 34 in Science, and a 33 in Math. I'm also a National Merit Finalist and an AP Scholar with Distinction. Because I've...

I'm a student at Purdue University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, where I've maintained a 3.9 GPA and earned Dean's List honors every semester. My own results are a big part of why I love SAT and ACT prep: I scored a 1560 on the SAT, including a perfect 800 on the Math section, and a 35 composite on the ACT, with a 36 in English, a 35 in Reading, a 34 in Science, and a 33 in Math. I'm also a National Merit Finalist and an AP Scholar with Distinction. Because I've personally navigated these exact high-stakes, timed exams at the top level, I know the strategies that actually move scores.

Most of my teaching experience ties directly to standardized testing. As a volunteer instructor with Schoolhouse World, I designed and delivered structured online lessons focused on test prep, built customized problem sets and logical frameworks, and coached students through timed practice so they could stay calm and efficient under real exam conditions. That remote work sharpened my ability to explain concepts clearly and precisely, even without sitting in the same room as a student.

I also spent a year as a Lead Instructor at Mathnasium, where I taught groups of 5 to 15 students, coordinated lessons to keep learning outcomes consistent, and trained new instructors. I kept detailed notes on each student's progress, challenges, and the strategies that worked for them, and I made a habit of breaking complex ideas into clear, step-by-step explanations. Earlier, I volunteered teaching at my local Tamil school, working with younger children, which, combined with my Mathnasium and Schoolhouse experience, means I'm comfortable adapting my approach across a wide range of ages and grade levels.

My teaching style is patient, structured, and highly individualized. I figure out where a student is getting stuck, build targeted practice around it, and use timed drills and thorough explanations to turn weak spots into confident strengths.

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT English section, with a 35 composite. As co-editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, I spent two years editing other students' writing for grammar, clarity, and structure — the same skills this section tests. I've tutored for over three years as a lead instructor at Mathnasium, a teaching assistant at Tamil school, and a volunteer on Schoolhouse.world, so I'm used to explaining a concept three different ways until one lands. My approach focuses on the handful of rules the ACT repeats constantly — comma usage, redundancy, transitions, modifiers — so students can recognize question types instead of guessing.
ACT Math

ACT Math

I scored a 33 on ACT Math with a 35 composite. I worked as a lead instructor at Mathnasium for a year, where I taught math to groups of 5 to 15 students at a time and helped train new instructors, and I've also tutored online through Schoolhouse.world and as a peer tutor through middle and high school. I'm currently an Artificial Intelligence major at Purdue University Indianapolis with a 3.9 GPA, so this material is something I work with constantly rather than something I studied years ago. My approach focuses on the small set of formulas and question patterns the ACT reuses every year — circle equations, special right triangles, exponent rules — instead of grinding practice tests without a plan.
ACT Reading

ACT Reading

I scored a 35 on ACT Reading and a 36 on ACT English, with a 35 composite. As co-editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, I spent two years reading and editing other students' work, which trained me to find an argument's structure quickly — the same skill this section rewards. I've tutored for over three years, including as a lead instructor at Mathnasium, a teaching assistant at Tamil school, and a volunteer tutor on Schoolhouse.world, so I'm used to adjusting my explanation when the first one doesn't land. My approach centers on teaching students to point to the exact lines that prove an answer, since almost every wrong choice on this section is either unsupported by the passage or only half-correct.
