Don't settle for a tutor who knows the test when you can learn from a master of the craft.

As a college professor, I have taught over a thousand students in dozens of classes covering areas includng criminal justice, research methods, statistics, sociology, public policy and more. And I have been dedicated to making sure every student gets the feedback and support needed to succeed. Here, I am bringing that focus to you individually.

With a J.D. from Yale Law School, a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, and a Physics and American Studies degree from Amherst, I offer a level of academic depth rarely found in the tutoring market. My own research writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Economist, and Slate, and I have taught over 70 semesters at institutions ranging from American University to CUNY.

Whether you are aiming for a perfect SAT/ACT score, mastering Math, studying for AP exams, or crafting a standout Admissions Essay, I provide the elite strategy and clarity needed to succeed.

Writing is the ultimate gatekeeper. As a published author in national magazines and newspapers and as a prize-winning legal scholar, I teach students how to write vivid prose and construct ironclad arguments. From AP History to College Essays, I help students transform "good" writing into "published-quality" prose.

As to test preparation, my background in Physics and teaching statistics allows me to deconstruct Math and Science sections with surgical precision. I don’t just teach formulas; I teach the underlying logic so students can solve any problem the test throws at them. High-stakes testing is a game of patterns. I use my legal and academic training to help students spot "trap" answers and manage time with total confidence.

I specialize in taking the stress out of the "high-stakes" moments—whether that's a final exam, a standardized test, or a thesis—and replacing it with a concrete plan for success.

Exquisite Instruction and Tutor Without Peer

This individual does an exemplary job explaining intricate concepts in a brief amount of time. I was quite impressed with both the presentation style and command of the material. The best option for many subjects.
