As a proud member of American Mensa (high IQ society) with over 18 years of experience in the test prep industry as an instructor, tutor, and assessment director, I am an experienced teacher who has raised thousands of students' grades and test scores. Many of my students have achieved scores in the highest percentiles, gained acceptance to elite colleges, and even earned employment as tutors themselves.

My test preparation proficiency ranges from high school entrance exams such as the ISEE, HSPT, and SSAT, to college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT, to postgraduate exams such as the GRE, GMAT, and LSAT. In addition, I am well versed in a variety of Advanced Placement courses such as Calculus AB & BC, English Language & Literature, and US, European, & World History. I am also an award-winning writer who has received honors from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the Sundance Screenwriters Lab.

Reading

With over 20 years of tutoring experience, I have helped students of all ages develop stronger reading skills—from early literacy and phonics to advanced comprehension and critical analysis. My background includes working with learners at varying proficiency levels, including those with reading challenges such as dyslexia, as well as high-achieving students preparing for honors and standardized testing. I specialize in breaking down complex texts, improving vocabulary, and teaching active reading strategies that build understanding and retention. I also focus on developing inference, analysis, and reasoning skills that support academic success across subjects. My long-standing experience has taught me how to adapt my teaching to meet each student's learning style and needs, ensuring measurable progress and increased confidence.

Great SAT Preparation Tutor

Edwin has a lot of experience with both SAT and ACT testing. He rapidly determined where my son's weaknesses were on the SAT, so he could develop a strategy to help him improve his test scores. Edwin is knowledgeable, patient, and good at explaining how to correctly answer SAT questions. I highly recommend Edwin to help students prepare for the SAT.
