With the proper combination of dedicated practice along with guidance from an experienced coach, students can dramatically improve their SAT and ACT scores. I know what works to improve performance thanks to 15+ years of professional test prep experience focused exclusively on math. Not only am I expert at teaching the exam's math content, but I am also very skilled at delivering effective score-boosting strategies and techniques that work to maximize a student's exam performance.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have over a decade of professional experience tutoring all levels of algebra and integrated math. I am expertly skilled at helping students learn algebraic concepts and techniques, and I am very familiar with the common core curriculum and integrated approaches to math. I also have extensive experience as a SAT and ACT math tutor and instructor, so I offer additional expertise in delivering effective methods and strategies for solving the algebra-based problems found on these exams as well.
Algebra 2

I have over a decade of professional experience teaching and tutoring algebra 2 and integrated math levels 1, 2, and 3, including courses designated as advanced, honors, or accelerated.

I have worked with many dozens of AP Calculus students and have helped many of them earn 4s and 5s on their AP exams. This past school year, all of my AP calc students earned either a 4 or a 5! I also have extensive experience working with college students taking business/applied calculus and calculus 1.

I have over a decade of professional experience tutoring both middle-school and high-school geometry (including honors and advanced courses). I am very experienced at helping students learn all aspects of geometry, including concepts, problems, proofs, geometric reasoning, testing strategies, SAT-style geometry problems, etc.

Prealgebra

If your child has been struggling with prealgebra, please contact me because I am great at helping students "connect" to math, allowing them to begin constructing the solid mathematical foundation they'll need for their future academic success. This subject encompasses a variety of subtopics, but I have a long track record of helping students relate these ideas and concepts in ways that can transform frustrated students into happy students.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have 15+ years of professional experience tutoring both high school and college precalculus students. "To be honest, the test was almost too easy, Mr. Kevin," is what one of my AP Precalculus students texted me immediately after he took the recent 2024 test (on score release day we learned he scored a 5!).

With over a decade of professional experience as a full-time math tutor and SAT math instructor, I offer a very high level of expertise in teaching SAT math concepts, problem solving, and strategies. Many dozens of my students have scored in the high 700s in the math section and some have achieved perfect scores. I've helped many students gain acceptance into some of the most prestigious universities, including UCLA, Princeton, and Harvard. I help students master the Digital SAT math content while simultaneously working to refine their test-taking skills and strategies. I deliver clearly explained, targeted lessons, and will supplement the student's program of study with relevant practice exercises as needed. Students learn the most effective ways of approaching each type of problem, and I help them avoid the most common pitfalls and careless errors. Let's take your SAT score to the next level!

Kevin is amazing!

Kevin has done an amazing job of helping my son with his AP PreCalculus class. It has made a big difference in his understanding of the subject and his grade. He’s easy to work with and explains things very clearly for my son. My son says he’s the smartest person he’s ever met!

Shawna, 6 lessons with Kevin

An excellent tutor!

Kevin is a fantastic tutor. My son had numerous lessons with Kevin for the SAT Math Level II and his score increased over 150 points! He also helped him review for the regular math section of the SATs. Kevin is patient and knowledgeable and offered him a ton of practice problems. He truly cared about my son’s progress!

Excellent SAT Math Tutor

My son is fairly intelligent but needed a bit of a refresher with SAT math. Kevin is an excellent tutor. He was very accommodating and followed-up promptly. Kevin is through and was able to help him with many different math problems. I believe my son's math score will be up 100 points with just two sessions. He was super confident SAT exam day thanks to Kevin!

Happy Camper

My daughter actually smiles before and after tutoring. This brings me joy. Math has never been easy or fun for her so the smile speaks volumes.

Maria , 63 lessons with Kevin

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Kevin has really helped my daughter, filling in knowledge gaps from her previous math classes. He's patient, very knowledgeable about math, the SAT, and college admissions. My daughter started working with Kevin after a disappointing PSAT score in sophomore year. I was so impressed at our first meeting, when he asked about her SAT goals, and college plans, and then tailored the sessions to meet her goals. He keeps up with the latest changes on the SAT and has been very proactive in preparing my daughter for the rigor of her upcoming IB math. Highly recommend him!

Tasha, 14 lessons with Kevin

Excellent Tutor!

Kevin is an amazing tutor and is very patient! Highly recommended! He makes thing so easy to understand. I've worked with him numerous times and I always feel like I understand clearly how to solve problems on my own once I get home to practice. I'm taking an accelerated course, and I wouldn't be surviving without him!
