For the college application essay, I teach high-level critical thinking and how to craft confident prose. I will work with students to think through and workshop their essay so it's an authentic representation of the achievements and qualities which test-scores and GPA don't represent.

For SAT test prep, I teach techniques to increase speed, reduce errors, and improve performance. I help students quickly grasp low and high-level concepts and how to check their work effectively. Ultimately, I seek to elevate a student's own standards of success—then exceed them.

As standardized testing becomes optional, the rest of your student's application becomes increasingly important. 

Students who work with me will make fast and consistent progress toward their goals. I quickly identify the weak points in a college resume and help improve their chances of getting into the college of their dreams.

Investing in a student’s academic performance, critical thinking, and internal drive will pay dividends for decades to come. A sharp and agile mind is the foundation for modern-day success.
