I have been teaching ACT, SAT, and SAT II prep for over 5 years. My experience includes one-on-one tutoring with reputable test prep institutions, such as Princeton Review, Mathnasium, and Tried and True Tutoring. These positions have helped me cultivate a strong sense of how a student can improve their test-taking skills and what teaching methods will best take advantage of their inherent abilities. I give students the insights to understand the concepts, but focus on adapting approaches to standardized exam questions in order to maximize efficiency and accuracy.

I majored in Applied Physics at Caltech, so I have a deep understanding and appreciation for the sciences, as well as for the skills of interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem solving that the ACT science exam tests for. The enthusiasm I developed studying cell biology from one of the primary inventors of the field of electron microscopy (Dr. Jean-Paul Revel) and studying physics with Nobel laureate Dr. Richard Feynman is contagious, so I'm able to help inspire students of science with my enthusiasm. I also help students learn the most effective way to speed through ACT [more]

My approach to tutoring is informed by my past academic struggles. My test scores and GPA were great and got me into my dream school, but as a "first generation" college student, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I know the frustration and self-defeating strategies--like procrastination--that students often develop and I am especially sensitive to supporting my students. Sometimes that means being firm, but more often it means celebrating the small successes. I graduated from P... [more]
