SAT & ACT Test Prep

I know how important having a good score on the SAT or ACT is to get into that dream college. I'm here to help you get the most out of each exam and teach you all the tips and tricks you need to improve your score.Whether you only need help on a specific section of the exams (e.g. only SAT Math) or want a holistic review of the entire exam, I'll curate a personalized study schedule so you have enough time to practice before the exam.

College Counseling

I have over 5 years of college counseling experience with many of my students attending top schools like Harvard, Yale, MIT, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and NYU. In the past I was a student ambassador for Yale Admissions and a counselor for Matriculate and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund.While I love tutoring in any subject, I enjoy college counseling the most. I love being able to craft a plan together so you are confident in the steps you need to take to get to your dream school; getting deep and personal in college essays so we ensure your story gets told in the best way possible; and seeing what college you confirm your enrollment with on National College Decision Day! I'll be there with you at every step!
