About
I’m a Harvard graduate who has worked for 16 years as a professional private tutor of SAT/ACT, Advanced Placement Exams, and College Admissions.
Over my career I have helped some 650 bright young people—all one-on-one—take their high school exams, compose their college entrance essays, and feel passionate about their futures.
I love my job and take pride in my work. I draw from the energy and positivity of diligent students just as they draw from my experience and enthusiasm for teaching. I keep in touch with students many years after instruction and am thrilled to see their success in university and beyond.
I always offer a free 30-minute consultation about the testing and admissions process.

IMPORTANT UPDATES
Digital SAT Starting Spring 2024
Current freshman (Class of 2025) will take the new digital PSAT in the fall of 2023 and then the digital SAT beginning in the spring of 2024. Details of the new SAT:
- Shorter overall exam (closer to two hours total)
- Adaptive, meaning that what questions you get on later sections depends on whether you get earlier questions correct
- Calculator built into the screen and available throughout all Math sections
- Different forms for every student, meaning it won't help to look at others' screens during the test, and hopefully will reduce cheating

As always with changes to standardized tests, there will be a scramble to acquire practice materials and feedback about the test in order to help people prepare ideally. It seems that overall, however, the basic content and outline of the exam isn’t significantly changing. It will still be a test of understanding the basics of Mathematics, Grammar, and Reading.
