Test Prep in Ann Arbor, MI

I understand the intricacies of crafting a well-rounded and effective college application, helping students see the full potential of their passions and build out the story their application will ultimately tell. As a Harvard graduate, non-profit founder, and dedicated mentor with 9 years of teaching experience, I offer comprehensive guidance throughout the application, from academic/EC consulting to SAT/ACT test prep to crafting a college list and writing the essays. At the core of my process, I help students explore three fundamental parts of themselves and their high school experience: the story that makes them who they are, the curious fire inside that influences the way they think, and how they ultimately plan to impact the world. From there, we strategize around how their activities, passion projects, academics, and college essays are proof of an underlying purpose and drive to succeed. Over the years, I’ve helped countless students get into top 4-year universities and Ivy Leagues such as Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Wharton, USC, Tufts, Georgetown, NYU, and more. I have experience helping students build out passion projects, apply to internships, and submit for essay competitions such as Scholastic and NCTE. I also teach many of my students SAT/ACT and have been in test prep for 6+ years now. I’m happy to just do test prep, subject tutoring, or essay editing for clients who are looking for services other than college counseling. I’m experienced, ambitious, and work hard for my students! I have the resources and the drive to help them succeed, and nothing brings me more fulfillment than watching my students get into their dream schools :)

I’ve been tutoring in Los Angeles for 15 years specializing in Math, English, and standardized tests, and sent students to some of the country’s top schools! I work with students all over the world as well on Zoom. As a dedicated full-time professional tutor, I’ve spent years formulating programs that help students excel academically. Unlike many tutors who do this as a side job, this is my primary career, and I’ve put in the hard work and dedication it takes to produce results! I craft personalized lesson plans tailored to each student, so that their individual needs are met. As we work together, I continue to refine and adapt my approach based on their progress, guaranteeing a learning experience that is completely individualized, and one that works! I graduated from Stanford as a double major in Mathematics and Economics, and I specialize in Math, English, and standardized tests (SAT, ACT, ISEE, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT). I have taken all of these tests and scored within the top 0.1% of scorers, and I continue to take these tests once a year to keep my score intact and stay aware of changes. Unlocking each student’s potential for optimal academic performance is something that motivates me. I love to help people and see them succeed! Let’s work together and maximize your potential!
