Simon: Somerville tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a junior at Dartmouth College studying biology, with plans to pursue a career in medicine. I have experience tutoring middle and high school students and currently volunteer as a mentor through Dartmouth's SIBs program. Personally, I credit my SAT score as aiding in my acceptance to schools including Duke, Brown, and Dartmouth, and hope to help my students reach their dream school.

I tutor all sections of the SAT and enjoy helping students with both the Math and Reading/Writing portions. I believe that success on the SAT comes from more than just content knowledge; it's also about learning how to approach the test strategically and with confidence. My goal is to make studying feel both manageable and even enjoyable by breaking the material into clear, approachable pieces and creating a supportive, low-stress environment.

I'm also passionate about guiding students through the broader college admissions process. Preparing for the SAT can be a fun and empowering part of that journey, and I enjoy helping students discover their strengths and present themselves confidently.

In addition to my academic work, I am a research assistant at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine and play on Dartmouth's club water polo team. In my free time I love, golfing, skiing, mountain biking, and attending Ivy League rivalry sports games.

Tutoring gives me the chance to connect with students and help them reach important goals, and I find it incredibly rewarding to watch their confidence grow along the way.
