Summary

200+ SAT-Point Gains • 20+ Students Into Top Colleges

Personalized SAT/ACT & academic remote tutoring for high-achieving and high-potential students.

With 20+ years at elite prep firms, I drive transformation—not templates. My students consistently gain 150–250 SAT points or 5–7 ACT points, many earning admission to Top-25 universities. I limit my intake each season to guarantee full focus and results.

Families choose me not just for expertise, but for results:

  • Students typically improve 150–250 points on the SAT or 5–7 points on the ACT.
  • Many of my students earn admission to top private and public universities
  • Parents often tell me their children leave our sessions more confident, motivated, and independent learners.

I only take on a limited number of students each season to ensure dedicated mentoring and results-driven support.
