Bio

I have been tutoring for five years, and my work began shortly after I completed my own standardized testing journey. Earning a 1590 on the SAT, a 35 on the ACT, and a 518 on the MCAT gave me a strong foundation in test strategy and content mastery, but it was my certification and training with The Princeton Review that shaped me into an effective instructor.

I have been tutoring for five years, and my work began shortly after I completed my own standardized testing journey. Earning a 1590 on the SAT, a 35 on the ACT, and a 518 on the MCAT gave me a strong foundation in test strategy and content mastery, but it was my certification and training with The Princeton Review that shaped me into an effective instructor. Through that program, I learned how to translate complex material into clear, structured explanations and how to guide students through proven strategies that improve both accuracy and confidence.

Over the years, I have taught students across a wide range of ages and academic goals, from middle schoolers preparing early to high school students aiming for competitive college admissions. I have worked in both one on one and small group settings, helping students strengthen core math and reading skills, build test taking endurance, and approach difficult questions with a calm and methodical mindset. My approach prioritizes understanding the student’s individual learning style, identifying where they feel unsure, and creating a personalized plan that supports steady, realistic progress.

What has kept me committed to tutoring is the relationships I form with students and the growth I witness over time. I aim to create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and developing study habits that extend beyond a single test. Whether I am teaching a foundational concept or refining advanced strategies, my goal is always to help students feel capable, confident, and prepared to reach their potential.

Outstanding! Clear, Efficient, and Results- Oriented

Mira is an excellent chemistry tutor who breaks down difficult concepts into clear, logical steps. She is highly organized, explains both the “why” and the “how,” and adjusts her teaching style to make challenging material manageable. Each session is focused and productive, and I consistently leave with a stronger understanding and greater confidence in chemistry.
