I graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and earned a 1520 on the SAT on my first attempt. I later attended the University of Chicago, where I majored in computer science and strengthened my foundation in analytical reasoning, writing, and problem-solving. Over the past five years, I've tutored students in math, physics, writing, and standardized test preparation, with a particular focus on SAT strategy and college application essays. My students have gone on to earn admission to schools such as Harvard, UPenn, Georgetown, and UChicago.
My teaching experience includes one-on-one tutoring, small-group instruction, and structured prep programs with high-school students across a wide range of skill levels. I emphasize clear explanations, targeted practice, and strategic, pattern-based methods that help students understand not just what the correct answer is, but why it's correct. I use a set of reliable, repeatable test-taking strategies that build confidence, improve timing, and make the SAT feel predictable rather than overwhelming.
Beyond academics, I bring a creative and patient approach to my work. I love painting, reading authors like Steinbeck and Thomas Mann, and cooking in my free time, and I’ve found that these interests help me connect with students and encourage them to think more deeply and express themselves more clearly. Whether I'm guiding a student through SAT preparation or helping them craft a compelling college essay, my goal is always to support their growth as thinkers, writers, and problem-solvers.
