SAT, ACT, LSAT & College Admissions Tutor |1540 SAT, 175 LSAT

Parth D.

Hey there! I tutor students in SAT, ACT, LSAT, college admissions, and writing, with a focus on helping them build stronger applications overall—not just stronger test scores. A higher score is definitely a top priority, but we all know it's only one part of the picture. I work with students on test strategy, essays, school lists, activity descriptions, application positioning, and the overall story they are presenting to colleges. My goal is to help students improve the pieces that admissions officers actually see while giving them a serious boost to their SAT or ACT score.

I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Southern California pursuing a Master of Urban Planning, and I previously graduated from Vanderbilt University, double majoring in Economics and Political Science. I scored a 1540 on the SAT, 34 on the ACT, and 175 on the LSAT, and I was recognized as a National Merit Scholar. Over the past four years, I’ve tutored students privately and worked as a contractor with two private tutoring firms, working across SAT/ACT prep, LSAT fundamentals, college essays, application strategy, academic writing, and reading/math support.

When I work with a student, I try to make the process clear from the beginning. We identify the goal, figure out what is holding them back, and then build sessions around the highest-impact next steps—whether that means drilling weak SAT question types, revising a personal statement, tightening a college list, or developing a weekly application plan. I’m direct and organized, but I also try to make students feel comfortable enough to ask questions and be honest about where they’re struggling. For the parents, you can expect someone who takes the work seriously, communicates clearly, and keeps the focus on progress while keeping sessions light and non-stressful.
