Bio

My name is Brian, and I am a full-time professional tutor. For 7 years, I tutored Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Precalculus, English (AP and regular), and Environmental Science with a primary focus on the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. I run summer camps to help students succeed on these tests and achieve perfect scores and National Merit Status.

My name is Brian, and I am a full-time professional tutor. For 7 years, I tutored Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Precalculus, English (AP and regular), and Environmental Science with a primary focus on the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. I run summer camps to help students succeed on these tests and achieve perfect scores and National Merit Status. From my 100% success rate on classroom tests to my 150+ SAT score increase guarantee, my results are backed by over 3,700 hours of tutoring for hundreds of families across the world.

In fact, I am currently publishing a book on the main strategies, tricks, formulas, and mental frameworks for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT that I used to achieve a perfect score, which I share with all of my students. If interested, please send me a message -- it's completely free with zero commitment!

I am very patient and encouraging with my students, and I create a safe learning environment where my students feel comfortable to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. I believe that tutors should be more than teachers, but mentors to lead by example in and outside of the classroom. That’s why I myself take the SAT even as a tutor every month. I have achieved a 1600 SAT and 36 ACT and a perfect score in Math not just once or twice, but 3 times.

My goal is simple: to help your student be the best and most confident version of themselves academically, professionally, and emotionally. With me, your student will develop time/deadline management skills and confidence in themselves – all needed to succeed in life. My youthful energy and unique ability to truly connect with my students means that I am more than just a tutor, but a positive mentor. Whether through texting me directly at 2am or through “memes” and TikTok, I offer a unique advantage – I am always by your student's side, tailored to your priorities, and committed to your student’s success.

If you are interested in working together, I am always one text, call, or email away, and I will respond promptly. Thank you!

Very invested and willing to spend time

Brian reached out to me and called me when i postponed a session and asked why. I know that he is willing to work hard and invest time. He is someone who will not only be your tutor but help you with anything.

Best SAT tutor EVER!!!

Brian is seriously the best! In October, I scored a 560 on the SAT math and hated it but Brian helped me raise it to a 720 in just a month and a half on the December SAT— which I honestly didn’t think was possible. He is SO patient and helps me understand things when other tutors got mad at me and actually makes it FUN bc he's very funny and relatable LMAO. He texts me outside of sessions to make sure that I am actually doing my work (which was needed omg) and I appreciate how organized and efficient he is. Recommended two friends after this!

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.
