Bio

The SAT is a test of acquired, not innate, skill, and requires practice just like learning a language or building muscle. During our sessions we will improve your test performance by doing practice exams, developing strategies, and creating study plans.

The SAT is a test of acquired, not innate, skill, and requires practice just like learning a language or building muscle. During our sessions we will improve your test performance by doing practice exams, developing strategies, and creating study plans.

I attended a prep school in New England before heading to Los Angeles to study mathematics at the University of Southern California (USC). During high school, I scored in the 99th percentile in the Math section and the 97th percentile in the Reading/Writing section. I currently live in Boston and work in technology education.

My teaching experience began in high school where I tutored elementary/middle school students in reading comprehension. In college, I tutored mathematics and computer science professionally and volunteered to teach a computer programming class at an elementary school in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

I am a native English speaker and have professional proficiency in French and Greek.

Our sessions will take place on Wyzant or Google Meet, depending on your preference.
