Bio

I’ve spent the past decade helping students crush the SAT and ACT—not through gimmicks, but through strategy, skill growth, and real preparation. Here’s the simple truth: it’s not you vs. the test—it’s you vs. you. You—prepared and confident—vs. the version of you who was nervous, confused, and not yet in command. The real question is: how far are you willing to go to leave that version behind? My goal is to help you become the student who understands this test inside and out—who gains a firm...

I’ve spent the past decade helping students crush the SAT and ACT—not through gimmicks, but through strategy, skill growth, and real preparation. Here’s the simple truth: it’s not you vs. the test—it’s you vs. you. You—prepared and confident—vs. the version of you who was nervous, confused, and not yet in command. The real question is: how far are you willing to go to leave that version behind? My goal is to help you become the student who understands this test inside and out—who gains a firm grasp over the material; anticipates question types; and swiftly moves through each section with clarity and confidence.

I’m a certified high school English teacher and former curriculum lead at KIPP Houston High School, a Title I campus. I was also contracted by the national KIPP Public Schools network to create and edit standardized SAT and ACT assessments used by every KIPP high school in the country. My students consistently led the network in both performance and growth on the ACT English and Reading sections. That experience—and the diverse set of instructional strategies and skill-building exercises I developed—shaped my belief that the right instruction, when tailored and strategic, can unlock any student’s potential.

My students led the KIPP network in both English and Reading ACT growth AND performance for 4 straight years. In fact, I was hired the national KIPP network to write tests and quizzes for the KIPP's entire network of charter schools (which includes over 40 high schools). See my linkedin for principal recommendations. As long as a student has a desire to grow, I can help anyone. I'm an expert motivator, diagnostician, instructor, and assessment creator. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!

I specialize in helping students build strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that lead to measurable academic gains.
