I'm a seasoned test-prep tutor with over 20 years of experience helping students achieve their college admissions goals. I've worked with leading tutoring organizations, delivering individualized instruction that has helped students raise their SAT scores by 100–200 points, their ACT scores by 3-5 points.
I provide expert instruction in all sections of the SAT and ACT, helping students master key math concepts, strengthen grammar and writing skills, build vocabulary, and develop effective reading strategies. I also focuses on time management, pacing, and reducing careless errors. My comprehensive approach empowers students to improve their scores and approach test day with confidence. My students consistently meet or exceed their score goals and gain admission to top-choice schools. I've mentored a diverse range of learners with clarity, empathy, and results-driven strategies.
I hold summa cum laude dual B.A.s in Anthropology and Women’s Studies from the University of Missouri, and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry earned under Nobel Laureate Dr. George Smith.

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

With extensive experience tutoring writing, grammar, and standardized-test strategy, I’m well equipped to teach ACT English and help students improve quickly. I teach the rules the test actually rewards—punctuation, verb tense and agreement, pronouns, modifiers, parallelism, and sentence boundaries—then show students how to spot errors fast without second-guessing. My approach is highly structured: I diagnose the specific rule types causing missed questions, practice with targeted drills, and build a repeatable decision process for each question.
ACT Math

ACT Math

With extensive experience tutoring algebra, geometry, and higher-level high school math, I’m well equipped to teach ACT Math and help students raise both accuracy and speed. I break the section into its most-tested topics and teach efficient methods for common question types, including backsolving and plugging in smart numbers. My approach is diagnostic and targeted: I identify weak areas, then practice with timed sets to strengthen pacing and reduce careless errors. I also train students to use process of elimination and strategic skipping so they maximize points on a tight clock.
ACT Reading

ACT Reading

With extensive experience tutoring critical reading and test strategy, I’m well equipped to teach ACT Reading and help students improve both accuracy and speed. I train students to read with purpose so they can locate evidence fast instead of relying on memory. My approach emphasizes pacing, strategic passage order, and consistent question-types (inference, detail, function, and comparisons) using proven elimination methods. By pairing skill-building with timed, ACT-style practice, students develop a repeatable system that raises scores and confidence.
ACT Science

ACT Science

With a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and extensive experience tutoring high-school and college STEM, I’m able to teach ACT Science because I understand both the underlying science and the “test language” students must decode under time pressure. I help students by teaching the section as a data-interpretation exam. I help them quickly extract what matters from graphs, tables, and experiments, then matching evidence to the question without overthinking.
ASVAB

ASVAB

With extensive experience tutoring math, science, and critical reading—and a proven track record helping students raise standardized test scores—I’m well equipped to teach the ASVAB. I break each subtest into the exact skills it measures (Arithmetic Reasoning, Math Knowledge, Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, and the technical sections) and teach efficient strategies students can apply immediately.
GED

GED

With extensive experience tutoring math, science, and reading/writing, I’m well equipped to teach the GED and help students earn strong, confident passing scores. I break each subject into the essential skills—foundational algebra and data, evidence-based reading and writing, core science reasoning, and key social studies concepts. My instruction is structured and practical: we identify gaps, rebuild fundamentals step-by-step, then practice with GED-style questions to improve accuracy and timing.
PSAT

PSAT

I’m highly effective at tutoring the SAT because I combine deep content mastery with a strategic, student-centered approach that consistently produces large score gains. With over 20 years of experience and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, I can explain complex math, reading, and grammar concepts clearly and at multiple levels until they truly click. I focus on concept mastery rather than shortcuts, which helps students improve accuracy, confidence, and speed across all sections of the exam. I also diagnose each student’s specific weaknesses—whether content gaps, timing, or test anxiety—and build a targeted plan to address them. My students regularly see 100–200 point score increases because I teach them how the SAT is designed and how to think like the test writers. Above all, I build strong relationships with students, helping them stay motivated, confident, and resilient throughout the prep process.
SAT Math

SAT Math

With extensive experience tutoring algebra, geometry, and advanced high-school math, I’m well equipped to teach SAT Math and help students make measurable score gains. I focus on both concept mastery and test strategy—I help students to recognize SAT patterns, avoid trap answers and choose the fastest method to solve the problems. I diagnose weak areas and then drill with SAT-style practice to improve accuracy and pacing.

SHSAT (NY HS admissions)

SHSAT (NY HS admissions)

With extensive experience tutoring advanced math and critical reading, I’m well equipped to teach the SHSAT. I focus on algebra/geometry fluency, multi-step problem solving, and text-based reading and grammar. I help my students with efficient pacing and elimination strategies. My instruction is diagnostic and targeted: we identify gaps, then use SHSAT-style drills and timed practice to improve accuracy.
