Meet Your Tutor
My parents spent thousands of dollars and hours of time for little results.
I spent 3 full months spinning my wheels. I took online prep courses, attended local classes, and spent hours on YouTube looking for SAT “hacks.” Yet, I felt like the SAT® (especially the reading), was something I could never understand. Time and effort didn’t equate to results, so I burned out.
Two weeks before my last shot, I came across this:
a framework that emphasized true comprehension of test content & logic over tricks (contrary to what many prep resources sell).
I scored a 1550 on that December 2, 2023 SAT from those two weeks.
I’ve further studied learning theory and SAT content extensively.
After refining my approach, I’ve helped many students increase their scores by hundreds of points, and have personally scored a 1600 on the SAT. I am now providing private SAT tutoring full-time online, and in-person for Norfolk County MA, and Fairfield County CT.
Don’t repeat my mistakes and burn out—I’m here to provide clarity that your studying works.
Parent & student satisfaction, by the numbers.
SAT® Prep Questions? Ask Away.
I’m lost. Where do I start with SAT® prep?
There’s an overwhelming amount of prep options out there, and it can be incredibly discouraging to go down rabbit holes that don’t improve your score.
The most efficient way to increase scores is through repetition of official practice problems and tests, and to understand why missed questions were answered incorrectly. An experienced tutor will help you do this. This way, you’ll be able to internalize test logic and strategies, so that test-day will just be another day at the office.
For those with gaps in comprehension of high-school level math, they’ll benefit more from learning or reviewing the math concepts and subjects taught in high school, such as geometry & algebra. This applies to most students scoring <1100.
How long are sessions?
I’m flexible. I’ll do the best I can to meet your schedule, but sessions typically range from 1-3 hours. We can work out how long/frequent sessions will be based on your goals and how long you have before your next test.
Is there a minimum number of sessions?
No. There is no commitment, just pay $75 per hour spent for private tutoring. Keep in mind, no one session will fill the necessary gaps in comprehension for any meaningful score increase.
ACT or SAT?
Both test the same knowledge. They require ever-so slightly different skillsets, (the ACT is faster paced but simpler) but no one is inherently better at one or the other, nor is one harder than the other. Pick one, and don’t switch tests halfway through your studying.
How much homework do you assign?
It all depends on how many weeks you have to study, and your desired score increase. However, 30-60 minutes of practice each day, plus a 3 hour practice test on the weekends, is typical. Just remember that there is a near-linear relationship of practice problems completed to increases in score.
How can parents remain in the loop?
Because I provide one-on-one private tutoring, I send weekly updates to parents regarding their children’s learning and progress.
How many sessions should a student take?
Typically, 6-12 sessions with a private tutor. But it depends. Need a 300+ point increase to match the criteria of your dream school? You’ll need a lot of studying. Only looking for a small bump in score? Just 3 sessions may be enough to learn Desmos strategies, refresh those grammar rules, and internalize my reading strategies. I can provide a better estimate on how we can meet your goals on our free discovery call.
My child is smart, but a bad test-taker. What do I do?
SAT® material is far different than school. If by bad test-taker, you mean that your child has not internalized test-taking strategies and structure, or learned to think like a test-writer, repetition of practice problems/tests and private tutoring will go a long way. If your child has anxiety, ADHD, or similar, I can help you explore the testing accommodations that College Board has to offer.
What will sessions consist of?
Sessions focus on your struggle points. After you complete your homework, we’ll review wrong answers, and help you understand why you got them wrong, and offer specific methods for approaching similar problems in the future. Ran out of time? Don’t worry, I’ve got strategies for everything there is to struggle on.
