Bio

I’m Damian! I scored a 1540 on the SAT (790 Math, 750 RW) after self-studying as a non-native English speaker. Since then, I have tutored over 440 students from more than 40 countries through Schoolhouse.world, where I led one-on-one and group student sessions focused on specific concepts and SAT preparation as a whole. My full schoolhouse portfolio, including student testimonials, is available online.

I’m Damian! I scored a 1540 on the SAT (790 Math, 750 RW) after self-studying as a non-native English speaker. Since then, I have tutored over 440 students from more than 40 countries through Schoolhouse.world, where I led one-on-one and group student sessions focused on specific concepts and SAT preparation as a whole. My full schoolhouse portfolio, including student testimonials, is available online.

As a National Chess Master, I bring the same systematic thinking to my tutoring. I build strong thinking from the basics – no bandaids and no shortcuts. Once the foundation solidifies, improvement is certain and linear. Every question has a system: formula, clear steps, definite answer. No guessing. This approach makes improvement consistent and measurable. Drawing on 10+ years of experience in competitive chess and swimming, I maximize performance on the test day.

I am a senior at South Forsyth High School in Cumming, GA, where I take 7 AP/IB in-person classes, lead the National English Honor Society, the chess club, and the chess team. I am also a tutor in five Honor Societies, and hold an American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Certification, having taught more than 60 students ages 5-10 swimming. I am available for in-person sessions in Forsyth and neighboring counties as well as online. I offer both ongoing one-on-one tutoring and a standalone study planning service for students who want a custom day-by-day roadmap through their test date.

Algebra 2

I completed Algebra 2 Honors my freshman year of High School with an A. I've also scored a 790/800 on SAT Math and tutored up to Calculus in my school National Math Honor Society.

Chess

I am a US Chess National Master, and I recently peaked at 2218 USCF and 1966 FIDE.

I am the president of South Forsyth High School chess club and teach chess there to around 50 members.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored a 790 on SAT Math after self-studying. As a National Chess Master, I approach every problem with the same systematic methodology. Every SAT Math question can be solved by Identifying the type, remembering steps, and applying the formula. I've tutored more than 440 students through Schoolhouse.world; most in the SAT.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I scored a 750 on the SAT RW section as a non-native English speaker, which means I had to develop concrete systems for every reading question type rather than relying on intuition. That is also what I teach: a methodological approach that boils down to Identifying question type, reading & taking notes, and eliminating answers one by one. Akin to math section approach -- similar certainty, but in the reading section! I've also taken two years of IB Literature HL and lead the National English Honor Society as a senior at South Forsyth High School.
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I self-studied to score a 750 on the SAT RW section by creating a system for each question type. This is best for the writing section -- every question has a strict grammatical formula, and it's what I teach. Improving this section first will raise your score the fastest. Academically, I've excelled for two years in the IB Lit HL course and I'm the president of the National English Honor Society at my high school.
