Hi! I am a current professional engineer who has extensive tutoring experience in standardized exam preparation (SAT/ACT/PSAT/AP exams), admittance exams (SSAT/ISEE) and all aspects of elementary and high school curricula. I genuinely enjoy helping students achieve their goals and feel confident about their skills, two aspects I feel are the primary causes of academic success. I have experience with online and in-person tutoring, and if desired I enjoy creating a plan with the student to achieve their goals so they learn to acknowledge and appreciate their growth.

I achieved an 1540 on my SAT, and 36 on my ACT, and have taken high levels of math up to Differential Equations. I regularly use calculus, matrix and vector math. I have experience helping students develop study plans and work on techniques that align with their unique learning styles to succeed! Many of my students have achieved significant score increases, and have received merit based scholarships to the schools of their choosing!

College student looking for help with paper revisions, literature reviews, or technical reports? I have extensive experience with writing in both a technical sense and a literary sense. I received a score of 5 on both the AP Literature and the AP Language exams, and have contributed to several published research papers, for two of which I am lead author.

I look forward to getting to know my student's unique skills and abilities, and helping them leverage their strengths to find success! I can also collaborate with students to develop study techniques and educational skills.
