I take a highly personalized approach to tutoring, with the goal of helping students demonstrate their full potential on competitive exams and in academic coursework. I bring an elite academic and standardized-testing background, having scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT and graduating from Cornell University with a 4.0 GPA, summa cum laude, and induction into Phi Beta Kappa. During my time at Cornell, I was a trained Peer Mentor with attention to supporting peers through their academic challenges. Prior to Cornell, I graduated with highest honors from Phillips Exeter Academy, where I received multiple academic awards and contributed to published scientific research. I am also a professionally trained opera and choral singer.
My approach emphasizes individualized instruction rather than a one-size-fits-all method. I focus on identifying each student’s specific strengths, gaps, and patterns of error, then tailoring sessions and advice to address those areas efficiently. Because test preparation and high-stakes academics can be stressful, I prioritize a supportive and encouraging working style while still holding students to high standards. My goal is to give students concrete strategies, tools, and habits that make improvement feel structured, attainable, and sustainable.
