Tutoring Experience

I’ve dedicated the past 15 years to tutoring students for standardised tests, particularly SAT English. My experience spans over 1,000 students across the U.S., Asia, and Europe, with many achieving top decile scores. I’ve guided learners through critical reading, sentence structure, evidence-based writing, and timed essay techniques. In addition to SAT prep, I’ve supported students with personal statements and university applications, helping them craft compelling essays that stand out to admissions committees.

My background includes conducting targeted exam workshops and delivering results-focused strategies. Students consistently report dramatic score improvements, especially in areas like reading comprehension analysis, identifying rhetorical devices, and mastering grammar conventions. Many have gone on to secure places at top-tier universities due to this tailored preparation.

Tutoring Approach

My SAT English instruction is highly strategic and outcomes-driven. I break down complex grammar and rhetorical skills into clear, manageable components. Lessons focus on precision in reading comprehension, logical flow in essays, and consistent grammar patterns tested in the SAT. I use real exam materials and simulate time-pressure conditions to build both skill and confidence.

Each session is personalised to address student-specific weaknesses—whether in misinterpreting author tone or recurring errors in subject-verb agreement. I focus on cultivating both understanding and strategy: teaching students not just what the right answers are, but why they’re right. I also coach effective annotation techniques for passage-based questions and help students build stamina for multi-section timed exams. Through feedback and drills, students develop accuracy, efficiency, and confidence—hallmarks of a high-scoring SAT performance.
