About
I’m a Harvard graduate who has worked for 18 years as a professional private tutor of SAT/ACT and College Admissions.
Over my career I have helped some 775 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 use my experience in Silicon Valley to counsel young people on engaging with jobs and careers. Technology is improving and integrating the world in fascinating and promising ways. I firmly believe that a teenager today should feel excited about their future!
I always offer a free short consultation about the testing and admissions process.

DIGITAL ACT
As of April 2025, students in the US have the option of a shortened digital ACT. In this test the Science section is optional. The required test consists of just English, Math, and Reading. It has 131 questions and takes 2 hours and 5 minutes.
People can still take the paper-and-pencil ACT through summer (7/12/25). In September 2025 (9/6/25) the paper-and-pencil ACT will become the same format as the new digital ACT (Science optional and shorter length).
For the Enhanced ACT, there are not yet officially released exams. Test Innovators has 2 excellent simulated exams and a large body of practice materials. I provide students with a complimentary “Valedictorian” Access once we begin consistent ACT meetings. You can take a free old-format practice ACT–either online or paper–here.
