About Scott

Bio

I show students exactly how to analyze arguments, break down dense reading, and apply clear reasoning — the foundation of adult-level verbal command and the core of every major verbal exam.

I’m Scott — a Reading, Writing & Test-Prep Specialist with 15+ years of experience, over 10,000 tutoring hours, and years of classroom teaching at the middle-school, high-school, and college levels. Even though I teach across several subjects, they all draw on the same core skills: advanced reading,...

I show students exactly how to analyze arguments, break down dense reading, and apply clear reasoning — the foundation of adult-level verbal command and the core of every major verbal exam.

I’m Scott — a Reading, Writing & Test-Prep Specialist with 15+ years of experience, over 10,000 tutoring hours, and years of classroom teaching at the middle-school, high-school, and college levels. Even though I teach across several subjects, they all draw on the same core skills: advanced reading, clear reasoning, and effective writing. I’ve tutored each exam and subject extensively, with 1,000+ hours each, so you get both breadth and true specialist expertise.

What sets my approach apart is simple:
No scattered tricks. No gimmicky “test hacks.” Instead, I teach the clear, proven ways to understand complex text, analyze ideas with precision, and communicate effectively — paired with the exam-specific mastery students need to perform at their best.

High-school students use this system to excel on the SAT/PSAT Reading & Writing, AP English, essays, and study skills. Graduate-level students combine the same core tools with more advanced strategies and techniques to tackle the dense, logic-heavy demands of the LSAT, GRE, and GMAT. This method adapts seamlessly for both teens and adults, and it gives every student the same advantages: clarity, confidence, and measurable improvement.

I meet students exactly where they are:
• Beginners who need structure
• Plateaued students who feel stuck
• High-achievers aiming for top-percentile scores

Every session is targeted, calm, and productive. Students get the tools they need; parents see fast, meaningful progress.
Subjects I tutor:

Reading & Writing • Study Skills • SAT/PSAT • LSAT (LR & RC) • GRE Verbal • GMAT Verbal • College Essays • ESL Reading/Writing

I provide all instructional materials except official scored exams. If you’re looking for structured, expert guidance — not just test tips — feel free to reach out. I’d love to help you reach the next level.

GMAT

GMAT

The GMAT mirrors the Business School experience in many ways. Students are expected to be fully prepared, to think and act quickly, and to basically make correct decisions and judgments. This is why the Quant section does not allow for a calculator and why it limits you to three revised answers. And this is what my Quant coaching will get you ready for! Also, in the real world, preventable mistakes often cost people and companies sizable amounts of money. As a result, the Verbal portion is specifically designed to see which students are careful and precise readers and writers. My Verbal prep helps you become just that…a careful and precise reader and writer who knows how to answer the GMAT's questions correctly.
GRE

GRE

I give all of my GRE students a personalized A-Z prep plan, with most of the needed materials included! My approach to tutoring for the quant portion of the GRE is actually pretty simple: First, here are the “A, B, Cs” and “1, 2, 3s” that we need to know and how to use them. Second, here is how we de-code GRE questions to make sense of them so that we can use the appropriate skills we just learned/polished. Third, practice, practice, practice… As stated in my general profile, my approach to the GRE verbal portion is truly unique and unmatched, in my opinion and experience. Please give me just one chance to prove it to you, you will not be disappointed!
LSAT

LSAT

My LSAT LaunchPad method installs the very Cognitive Command that the LSAT rewards: a repeatable system for thinking like a lawyer and performing under pressure. Students typically gain 10-12 points within six weeks of training. Let’s schedule an initial phone/video call today and start to unlock your test-day control.
Reading

Reading

The reading industry is strange indeed. Sooo many experts, sooo much money invested and sooo little results. How can this be? Well, it's because none of the “University Approved” methods work and no student or parent wants to accept defeat and give up! I get it, that makes sense. But now, we can do better. My homemade approach is based on techniques that flow straight out of the basics and allow students to literally actively ATTACK what they are reading. I have spent years developing and refining the approach and it can work wonders for any one who is at least 13-14 years old. All you need to do…is give it a chance!
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I’m a professional tutor with 15+ years of test-prep experience and years of classroom teaching at the middle school, high school, and college levels. I specialize in SAT Reading, helping students build the comprehension, reasoning, and passage-strategy skills needed for strong, reliable performance. I meet students at any level—beginner, plateaued, or advanced—and provide all lesson materials plus a clear, structured plan using official SAT practice tests for benchmarking.

Very knowledgable and patient

Scott has definitely provided me with invaluable tips for taking the LSAT. His guidance has not only improved my score but also boosted my confidence in test-taking. He has everything down to a science which makes practicing so much more organized. He is incredibly patient and genuinely dedicated to helping you succeed.

Luis, 10 lessons with Scott

Patient and brilliant leader.

Scott explains everything so well, and never gets frustrated with questions! Very knowledgeable on the LSAT and what I need to work on. Without the guidance of Scott I would've been completely lost.

Cheyenne, 6 lessons with Scott

Knowledgeable

Scott takes time to make a plan that will work for your journey. He goes through the questions for you to better understand and make it make sense. He is patient.

Great Teacher, Surpassed my score goals

Scott is an awesome tutor. He’s straightforward and very supportive. Ultimately, how well you do on the GRE is up to you. But having someone in your corner to point out what you need to be focusing on is key. Scott really provides the right resources and points you in the right direction. And he just generally kept morale up, which is invaluable. I got a better score than I even expected. Can’t recommend him more highly!

Extremely dedicated and knowledgeable !

Scott is a very knowledgeable and skilled Grammer tutor! My son needed help within a short period of time to get thru a required accelerated 4 week Grammer college prerequisite. Look no further if you need a Grammer specialist Scott is your tutor!

Aha!!

I am NOW excited to continue my journey to take the GRE! With only having two sessions under my belt with Scott, I've had a couple of "Aha moments" and it clicked!! That's the kind of tutor he is! He breaks it down so that YOU GET IT!! Learning that way, for me, makes it stick!

Anjell, 12 lessons with Scott

Very knowledgeable and patient.

Scott is super patient with me which makes me feel very comfortable. He doesn’t judge me if I don’t know the definition of a word or a a simple answer to a simple question. He’s also provides great techniques for the different GRE subjects, which has really been helping me. He breaks everything down and makes it a lot easier for me to understand.
