Kevin: Petaluma tutor

Certified Tutor

My name is Kevin. I have scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, ACT, SSAT, and a host of SAT II and AP exams. More importantly, I have helped countless students master these exams during the 15 years I have been tutoring. While the SAT and ACT are challenging exams, they can be mastered with discipline, strategy, and practice. I have helped a number of students significantly improve their standardized test scores and college admissions prospects.

In 2016, I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with special honors on a full-tuition scholarship from the University of Texas at Austin's Plan II Honors Program. Subsequently, I received my Juris Doctor from the George Washington University Law School with honors. During this period, I have worked at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Department of Justice, and an international law firm.

As a tutor and college admissions consultant, my clients have been accepted to the following schools: Harvard College, Yale University, Stanford University, and other top-tier institutions. My teaching philosophy centers on establishing trust and rapport with my students.

Beyond standardized tests, I also tutor the following math, pre-medical, and humanities courses: Algebra I/II, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, General Chemistry, Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Physics, Philosophy, English, History, Psychology, and Sociology. I work with elementary, middle school, high school, college, and post-graduate students.
