I believe every student can reach their target test scores when lessons are intuitive, engaging, and directly tailored to how they learn best. My commitment to education began in high school, where I volunteered regularly, co-founded AHelpingTutor to pair over 100 tutors with 90 students, and created the NEST Project to blend visual art with English literacy. Over the past several years, I have worked professionally with educational organizations including ArborBridge and GPS, alongside dedicated one-on-one tutoring. I specialize in preparing middle and high school students for the SAT, ACT, SHSAT, and ISEE, guiding them through foundational skill-building, strategic test-taking, and high-stakes exam timing.
Having thoroughly analyzed the major commercial prep curricula on the market, I developed my own proprietary curriculum designed to strip away unnecessary academic fluff. Rather than overcomplicating theories, I teach students precisely what they need to master the exam, focusing on targeted test prep strategy rather than overwhelming them with extraneous material. My approach centers on meeting students halfway: I connect concepts to their personal interests and real-life examples, whether that means breaking down figurative language through song lyrics or deconstructing quantitative problems into simple, manageable steps. This builds durable, intuitive problem-solving habits that extend far beyond test day. To stay sharply attuned to the pacing demands and pressure points my students face, I also regularly take timed official practice exams myself.
Originally from Boston, where I attended Boston Latin School, I earned my undergraduate degree from Georgetown University before completing an accelerated graduate degree with a 4.0 GPA. I am also an AP Scholar with Distinction and a Massachusetts Princeton Prize recipient. My goal is always to cultivate a supportive, low-stress partnership where students build authentic mastery, efficient test-taking habits, and lasting academic confidence.
