About Brian


Bio

Howdy! If you're tired of tutors "reading off the script" and not being clear in their communication, expectations, and lesson plans, you've come to the right place. Because I truly care about each of my students' well-being, each session is engaging, fun, and effective. See why over 200+ students and families from 8+ countries trust me for their child's academic development.

I stand out from other tutors because with me, you get personalized lesson plans 24 hours before each session,...

Howdy! If you're tired of tutors "reading off the script" and not being clear in their communication, expectations, and lesson plans, you've come to the right place. Because I truly care about each of my students' well-being, each session is engaging, fun, and effective. See why over 200+ students and families from 8+ countries trust me for their child's academic development.

I stand out from other tutors because with me, you get personalized lesson plans 24 hours before each session, effective instruction and communication refined after 6+ years of tutoring, and clear progress tracking every step of the way. I create my own assignments and am proactive in my instruction instead of just assigning KhanAcademy modules and call it a day. I enjoy working with students individually to understand their learning and communication styles, hobbies/interests, and life events to find interesting analogies to help students grasp difficult concepts. I break information down into digestible formats and emphasize frameworks/strategies > content so that skills can be cross-applied to other subjects.

I am an experienced writing, math, and SAT/ACT tutor and college admissions consultant who's helped students achieve perfect SAT scores and get into Ivies/T20s. I graduated from Bowdoin College on a full ride QuestBridge Scholarship with a BA in Economics, Government, and Education, and have gained research and writing experience as a former policy researcher for think tanks, government agencies, and college departments. I can be reached at any time with questions, and my commitment to excellence and accessibility shows in my curriculum.

Amazing Writing help

I had a great session with Brian! We worked on making my analysis more concise and clear, and they really helped me turn my notes into stronger, well-organized paragraphs. I feel much more confident about my writing now. Highly recommend!

Great Tutor!

I’m glad Brian was so understanding, flexible and knowledgeable. I asked him today if he could help me review the study guide that I’ve prepared. He said yes and was genuinely curious about the topic. I look forward to our next session.
