My job is to get you to a place in your work where you no longer need my help! Whether that is building your confidence with practice problems, or filling in foundational knowledge that might have been missed, I am here to help you reach your goals. I have helped my students increase their scores by up to 500 points on the SAT, and 12 points on ACT.

My job is to get you to a place in your work where you no longer need my help! Whether that is building your confidence with practice problems, or filling in foundational knowledge that might have been missed, I am here to help you reach your goals. I have helped my students increase their scores by up to 500 points on the SAT, and 12 points on ACT. My students have gained acceptance to top schools, including ivy-league schools, University of Chicago, Emory University, UCSD, University of Michigan, and more!

A little about me: I attended Princeton University and graduated with a degree in Politics. I studied engineering for my first two years, so took many math and science courses including Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Thermodynamics and Modern Solid Mechanics. In high school, I scored a 5 on both the Calculus AB and Calculus BC AP tests, and scored over a 750 on the SAT Math test and Math II subject test.

In college, I worked as a project coordinator for a campus tutoring program for middle and high school students from all across northern New Jersey; I also spent a summer teaching at Harlem Village Academies Charter school. Since graduating from college, I have tutored all subjects of the SAT and ACT, as well as many academic subjects - Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry.

I know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to tutoring, so it is important for me to meet my students where they are, and tailor my lessons to their learning styles and needs.
