Tutoring Experience

I have over 15 years of experience tutoring secondary and postsecondary students in SAT English, with a focus on reading comprehension, grammar, and essay writing. I have guided students through personalised study plans to achieve competitive scores, helping them secure admission to top universities in Europe and the US.

In addition, I have authored SAT English study guides for US-based tutoring companies and developed coursework in English language and literature for an online international school. My experience also includes creating exam-aligned content such as practice tests and study materials tailored to SAT standards.

Prior to tutoring, I worked in clinical settings, which enhanced my ability to communicate effectively and adapt to diverse learning needs.

Tutoring Approach

My SAT English tutoring focuses on building core skills in reading comprehension, grammar, and writing, with tailored lessons based on each student's strengths and areas for improvement. I emphasise exam strategies, such as time management and question analysis, to maximise scores.

I incorporate humour and positivity to create an engaging learning environment, helping students build confidence and resilience. My proven methods have consistently resulted in significant score improvements and successful university admissions.
