Anxious about your Digital SAT, ACT, GRE, or ASVAB? Struggling with math, writing, or English? Need an admissions essay that helps you stand out? Feeling nervous about an interview? I can help.

I’m an educator at heart, with degrees in Electrical Engineering (M.Sc.), Computer Engineering (B.Sc.), and Law (J.D., licensed attorney). I love what I do because it gives me the incredible opportunity to make a lasting difference in my students' lives. My teaching philosophy is holistic — blending content mastery, test-taking strategies, and learning psychology. Having studied and taught in the American, British, and Asian systems of education, I have a deep understanding of effective learning strategies. My students range from middle schoolers to seasoned professionals because learning is a lifelong pursuit.

For test prep, using diagnostics, I identify and fill gaps in essential content knowledge before diving into timed practice drills and high-impact test-taking strategies. I train students to strategically leverage their use of Desmos and other tools. I've helped many students score 1500+ on the SAT, 32+ on the ACT, and excel on many other standardized tests.

I guide students through every stage of their college essay — from brainstorming to final polish. As a gifted orator, I also coach public speaking and interviewing. In short, I can help you overcome anxiety, find your voice, and communicate with confidence — in any medium.

I know what it’s like to face challenges. I myself once struggled with math, and I know how transformative the right guidance can be. In over 25 years of tutoring, I’ve helped thousands of students. They've been admitted to top universities and built thriving careers as engineers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, and executives. Message me and let's get started on your success story!

Note: Since Wyzant's "Good Fit Guarantee" allows you to book confidently, I don't offer free "trial" or "interview" appointments. I'm happy to answer questions via chat before your first appointment.
