I hold a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics and Economics from Johns Hopkins University and a Master's degree in Biostatistics from Boston University. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in both quantitative reasoning and analytical thinking, which I bring into every tutoring session. I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their abilities and enjoy guiding them through challenging material by breaking down complex concepts into clear, understandable steps. With over five years of tutoring and teaching experience, I've worked with students across a wide range of subjects, including middle school math, Algebra I & II, Geometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, and college-level courses like Calculus IIII, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Statistics. I also specialize in standardized test preparation, offering targeted support for the SAT, ACT, and GRE math sections. Beyond math, I tutor economics at both introductory and advanced levels, including Introductory Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Microeconomic and Macroeconomic Theory, Monetary Analysis, and similar courses. I enjoy helping students connect theoretical models with real-world applications and develop a strong understanding of core economic principles. My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and highly personalized. I focus on fostering deep understanding and critical thinking, tailoring my approach to fit each student's individual learning style and academic goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, staying active, and exploring emerging technologies.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
No subject, no test, and no question is bigger than you. By the end of our time together, I hope to make you see that my only job was really just to make you see--you really had it in you, all along. If there's any subject in which you truly believe you suck--that you're just the worst, and that nothing will ever help you improve--then don't you dare give up until you've given me a call! I'm a writer, but I love numbers, and nothing makes me more proud than helping students overcome their biggest challenges. I've scored near-perfect on both standardized tests, and I've been helping students understand how to improve their own scores ever since. I'm also capable of tutoring advanced Music Theory topics, as well as Spanish and Mandarin Chinese
I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!
I am currently attending New York University where I am pursuing a degree in Finance and Statistics. I have previous experience tutoring individuals in math, a subject I have always excelled at academically. My knowledge and interest in mathematics, makes it easy for me to frame and deconstruct seemingly complicated concepts and theories in ways students will be able to understand and remember. Outside of academia I enjoy playing tennis, going to movies, and spending time with friends and family.
Hi! My name is Harry, and I'm a sophomore at the Albert Dorman Honors College at NJIT studying for a BA/MD in Biology on the accelerated program with NJMS. I've been interested in the sciences since I was younger, through which I have enjoyed engaging in my coursework, research, and fellow peers. What I particularly enjoy is the camaraderie that STEM brings about with problem solving with you and your peers, which I hope to foster through tutoring. At NJIT, I have taken challenging courses like General and Organic Chemistry I & II, Physics I & II, and a series of biology courses such as neuroscience, mammalian physiology, and cellular and molecular biology. These experiences not only provided me with a strong academic background but also with an understanding of how to deconstruct difficult material in a way that makes it less intimidating. In teaching, I believe building confidence is as important as mastery of content. I try to meet students where they're atwhether that's going step by step through a practice problem, connecting big-picture ideas, or offering suggestions on how to study more effectively. I recall how overwhelming some of these concepts can be because I've been there too. I try to make learning accessible and enjoyable, and also help students gain the level of mastery they're looking for. Whether you're preparing for an exam or just want extra assistance in biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, or test prep, I'd love to help you and guide you toward your goal.
I am available to tutor a range of middle school and high school subjects, but I am most excited about tutoring test prep. I remember how stressful preparing for college can be and I am eager to do my part in helping students fulfill their college goals. I believe that learning is a collaborative process and I am committed to being as actively involved in the student's learning as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, going to the movies (I try to see each Oscar nominee before the ceremony every year.), and am a huge Michigan sports fan.
I have been tutoring since 2018. I was a math instructor for five years at a math learning center. There I worked with students in grades 1 through college. I particularly love teaching elementary and middle school math as well as Algebra! I am comfortable working with students of all ages and all abilities. In addition to tutoring math, I was a Spanish AT for introductory Spanish courses and also conversational ones. I also volunteered at the local public elementary school weekly to teach Spanish to second graders. The summer between my junior and senior year, I was fortunate enough to intern in Spain and teach English at a bilingual school. I believe every student learns differently, and I am always happy to adapt my teaching methods to best meet each student's individual needs. These methods range include diagrams, drawings, and the socratic method.

My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics and coding because they not only build critical thinking skills but also empower students to solve real-world problems creatively. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, tailoring my teaching approach to each student's unique learning style. I believe in fostering a growth mindsetencouraging students to embrace challenges as opportunities to grow and learn. Beyond academics, I have a deep interest in soccer and motorsports, and I love integrating real-life examples from these areas to make lessons engaging and relatable. My goal as a tutor is to build students' confidence, inspire a lifelong love of learning, and equip them with the skills they need to achieve their goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and study timeline, but most students see meaningful gains with focused preparation. Students who work with tutors for 8-12 weeks typically improve by 50-150 points, with some seeing larger jumps if they're addressing specific skill gaps. The key is identifying exactly where you're losing points—whether that's pacing on the quantitative section, inference questions in reading, or sentence completion problems—and targeting those areas strategically.
Reading comprehension and the upper-level verbal section challenge most students because they require both fast reading and deep understanding of nuanced questions. The quantitative section often trips up students on pacing—they get bogged down on hard problems and run out of time for easier ones later. A tutor can help you develop a strategy for each section: learning to predict answer choices in verbal, spotting trap answers in math, and managing your time so you're not rushing through questions you could get right.
Timing strategy is crucial—the SSAT isn't just about knowing the material, it's about getting the most points in the time you have. Many students waste valuable minutes on difficult problems early on and then rush through easier questions at the end. Tutors help you learn when to move on from a hard problem, how to allocate time across sections, and specific techniques like skimming vs. close reading for different passage types. With the right pacing plan, most students gain 10-30 points just from better time management.
Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or not trusting your skills under pressure. Working with a tutor builds confidence through repetition and success—you'll take dozens of practice questions and full-length tests, so the real test feels familiar rather than scary. Tutors also teach you concrete strategies for the test day itself: breathing techniques, how to manage time so you're not panicking, and how to recover if you hit a hard section. When you've practiced the timing, know your weak spots are addressed, and have tested yourself many times, anxiety naturally decreases.
Taking 4-6 full-length practice tests under timed conditions is ideal, with spacing between them so you have time to learn from each one. The first practice test helps you establish a baseline and identify weak areas. Middle tests let you practice new strategies and see if they're working. Your final tests should feel like dress rehearsals—same timing, same setting, same pressure. A tutor will help you review each practice test strategically, focusing on the patterns in your mistakes rather than just going over the answers.
The writing sample is your chance to show schools how you think and express yourself—it's less about perfection and more about clarity and organization. You'll have 25 minutes to write one essay on a prompt, so practice is essential. Tutors help you develop a quick planning process, learn how to write a clear thesis with supporting examples, and practice writing under time pressure. The goal isn't to write like a novelist; it's to write a coherent, well-organized essay with specific examples. Most students improve significantly by practicing 8-10 timed essays with feedback.
A typical preparation timeline is 8-12 weeks, with 5-8 hours per week of focused study. This gives you time to learn the question formats, build skills, and practice under timed conditions. If you're starting from a lower baseline or aiming for a very high score, 12-16 weeks may be better. Starting earlier also reduces stress and prevents last-minute cramming. A tutor can create a personalized study plan based on your goal score, current skills, and test date, then adjust it as you progress.
