I specialize in test prep, in particular with SAT/ACT, SHSAT, Regents and AP exams. Most of my students have gotten in 95th-99th percentile on these exams.

I am a fourth year medical student at New York Medical College. I have a Bachelors degree in Biology with a minor in history and math. I specialize in test prep, in particular with SAT/ACT, SHSAT, Regents and AP exams. Most of my students have gotten in 95th-99th percentile on these exams. I have an entire course prep set up to help breakdown the topics and to ensure success for every student. Additionally, I work on time management skills, reading, math, writing, etc through my guided practice exercises.

I believe that each student has their own personality and way of learning things that make it difficult for their school teacher to accommodate each student's needs. With that, I get to know my students and see what strategy best fits for them to fulfill their full potential. In college, I was part of a peer mentor program with autistic and ADHD students in my school and so I can empathize with students through the difficulties they're having with a particular subject and help them build their confidence and skills.

I had a 4.0 GPA in my major. In high school, I scored a 5 on my AP Bio, US history, Government, World history, and Statistics exams.I scored in the 99th percentile on my ACT and SAT exams. I hope to make the student's educational journey positive and to work with them on finding the best study strategy that best suits their needs.

I had the privilege of working with Avi for my SAT preparation, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From day one, Avi displayed an incredible amount of patience, expertise, and dedication. The sessions were tailored to my individual needs, ensuring that I was able to focus on my weak areas while reinforcing my strengths. I highly recommend!

Excellent Tutor

Avi is a wonderful tutor! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions while working through GRE practice problems. She’s also very patient and helped me refresh topics I hadn’t studied in a long time. I now feel much more confident going into my exam after our sessions. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great tutor!

great SHSAT Tutor

Wonderful SHSAT tutor. We focused on English but she was very helpful in math as well. Nice, supporting and knowledgeable. Equally importantly, our son will enter the exam with confidence.

Avi is the best tutor!

My son spent one year with Avi to prepare SHSAT exams. He has improved so much. I never thought he could reach Stuy, but after studying with Avi, he is super confident that he can get in. Avi is incredible!

Great Tutor and Person

Avi truly has the patience of a saint. She helped tremendously in ACT math and ACT science and provided practice questions that made me feel much more confident. Along with being very smart and a great tutor, she's also funny and easy to get along with. I would recommend her for anyone and everyone who needs help with their ACT prep.

Avi is a great tutor who helped my daughter with her SHSAT prep. My daughter enjoyed the sessions and I’d certainly recommend Avi for anyone looking for a tutor.

Paresh and Trish, 6 lessons with Avi

Avi excels as a tutor with her humor, friendly approach, and interactive quizzes. Her respect and dedication make her exceptionally helpful in fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.

Avi has been a game-changer for me in understanding biology. Her quizzes not only help with terms but also make things stick. She uses real-life examples, so it's not just theory but something I can relate to. What's cool is how she explains complex stuff with analogies that actually make sense. Avi doesn't do the one-size-fits-all thing; she tailors the way she teaches to how I learn best. It's not just about answering questions but understanding why. She's not just a tutor; she's like a guide helping me explore biology beyond our sessions. Her way of teaching has not only clarified things but made me excited about the subject. I can't thank her enough for the support she's given me in navigating the biology maze.

Patient and Helpful Tutor

Avi and I met almost every day for two weeks to help me prepare for my SAT. For two hours, we would review and study what should have taken 4 months to go over. Of course, I would suggest not getting a tutor as last minute as I had done, but I am very grateful for how patient and helpful she was. I have not received my score yet but while taking the test I felt much more confident than the previous year.
