Hi! I'm a recent summa cum laude graduate of Binghamton University's School of Management, where I earned a 3.95 GPA studying Finance and Management Information Systems. I also earned a 1560 on the SAT while attending Stuyvesant High School, and I'm excited to help students build the skills and confidence they need to reach their academic goals.

Hi! I'm a recent summa cum laude graduate of Binghamton University's School of Management, where I earned a 3.95 GPA studying Finance and Management Information Systems. I also earned a 1560 on the SAT while attending Stuyvesant High School, and I'm excited to help students build the skills and confidence they need to reach their academic goals.

My tutoring experience includes a summer working at IvyPrep with elementary and middle school classes in math and reading, as well as a year of helping college students strengthen their understanding of business and Excel coursework one-on-one. I know that every student learns differently, so I aim to make lessons patient, engaging, and tailored to each student's needs. Whether we're reviewing challenging concepts, practicing test-taking strategies, or working through problems step by step, my goal is to help students understand not just what to do, but why it works.

I'm happy to work with students at different starting levels, whether they need help catching up, preparing for an important exam, or pushing toward a higher score. I want lessons to feel supportive and productive, with clear goals and progress students can recognize. I’m also open to individual goals and particular resources that students prefer, and I strive to be responsive, flexible, and easy to work with. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I graduated summa cum laude from Binghamton University's School of Management with a 3.95 GPA and have experience helping students k-8 develop their math skills. I can help Algebra I students build a strong foundation in topics such as solving equations, working with inequalities, graphing linear functions, factoring, and understanding polynomials, among others. My approach emphasizes breaking down difficult problems into manageable steps and explaining the reasoning behind each solution. I tailor lessons to each student's needs, whether they want to strengthen foundational skills, complete homework, or prepare for exams.
Chess

Chess

I have extensive recreational chess experience, with more than 1,700 games played, primarily in fast time controls, at roughly 1000 elo. I can help beginning players learn the rules, recognize common tactical patterns, understand basic opening principles, and develop better habits when evaluating moves. More advanced students can also benefit from introductions to new openings, lines, and endgame patterns to help them develop a personal style of play. Lessons can include reviewing games, identifying mistakes, and practicing strategies for avoiding common beginner errors. I aim to make chess approachable while helping students develop their calculation, decision-making, and strategic thinking skills.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I earned a 1560 on the SAT and have experience helping elementary and middle-school students build their math skills through my work at IvyPrep. My approach focuses on breaking down challenging concepts, explaining the reasoning behind each step, and helping students recognize efficient strategies for solving problems. I can help students strengthen their algebra, functions, geometry, and other SAT Math topics while developing problem-solving skills and test-taking confidence. Lessons are tailored to each student's current level, areas for improvement, and target score.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I earned a 1560 on the SAT and graduated from Stuyvesant High School before completing my undergraduate degree summa cum laude at Binghamton University's School of Management with a 3.95 GPA. I can help students strengthen reading comprehension, analyze passages, interpret evidence, understand vocabulary in context, and work through SAT Reading and Writing questions strategically. My approach emphasizes understanding why an answer is correct, recognizing common traps in answer choices, and developing efficient approaches to unfamiliar questions. I also have experience tutoring younger students in reading and math, and I aim to make lessons patient, individualized, and confidence-building.
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I earned a 1560 on the SAT and can help students strengthen the reading and writing skills needed to approach SAT questions with confidence. I focus on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, transitions, rhetorical effectiveness, and revising passages for clarity and precision. My approach emphasizes understanding the rules and reasoning behind each answer rather than relying on memorization alone. I tailor lessons to each student's areas for improvement, helping them recognize common question patterns and develop effective test-taking strategies.
SHSAT (NY HS admissions)

SHSAT (NY HS admissions)

As a Stuyvesant High School graduate, I am familiar with the academic demands associated with New York City's specialized high schools as well as the associated acceptance test. Through my experience working with elementary and middle-school students at IvyPrep, I developed an approach to teaching that emphasizes patience, clear explanations, and adapting lessons to each student's needs. I can help students strengthen their math, reading comprehension, and grammar skills while practicing the problem-solving and test-taking strategies relevant to the SHSAT. My goal is to help students build both subject mastery and confidence as they prepare for the exam.
SIE Exam (Securities)

SIE Exam (Securities)

I passed the FINRA Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam and can help students prepare by reviewing key concepts, clarifying difficult material, and developing effective study strategies. My preparation included a dedicated SIE study guide, extensive video lessons, and practice questions. I can help break down topics such as securities products, market structure, trading, regulatory agencies, and prohibited practices into more manageable concepts. My approach emphasizes understanding the material rather than simply memorizing answers, with lessons tailored to your current knowledge and study goals.
