Hi! I’m a super friendly and experienced English tutor well-versed in standardized test preparation, test-taking strategies, and rigorous academic English curricula. I provide personalized 1:1 sessions tailored to each student, utilizing the best tips and tricks proven to boost scores and improve learning retention.
I graduated summa cum laude from UC Santa Barbara, and I have always loved English. This interest led me to explore English tutoring post-grad, and today I have experience tutoring 300+ students. I specialize in standardized test prep (ACT, SAT, HSPT, ISEE, & SSAT), academic English curricula (including honors and AP courses), and fundamental English concepts (punctuation, grammar, reading comprehension, etc.). I have also worked for one of the most elite tutoring companies on the west coast where I was promoted to train other tutors, so I am highly skilled in both English content and pedagogy.
Above all else, I am a champion for my students. 43% of my students have had their scores jump to the 96th percentile after working with me, and I constantly keep up to date with the most relevant strategies I can share with them. During my sessions, I strike a balance between a streamlined, step-by-step way of teaching and a more personalized approach depending on each student’s preferred methods of learning. I always find great fulfillment in building rapport with my students, guiding them on the path to academic success, and empowering them to reach their goals.
