I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate of the high school International Baccalaureate Program. I have informal experience tutoring high school physics, but am most passionate about tutoring students for the ACT standardized test, having had extensive experience preparing for standardized tests throughout high school. I am eager to aid students in boosting their scores before their upcoming college applications, an important milestone in many students' lives. In my free time, I also enjoy playing tennis.

I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
I am a student at Cornell University pursuing a double major in Biological Sciences, concentrating in computational biology, and Computer Science. I have tutored math, biology, physics, and French to middle school and high school students. I have also facilitated group discussion sessions for English language learners. I love learning new things and helping others understand these concepts as well.
I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.
I am working toward an MD at Stanford University. I am happy to help with MCAT, SAT, SAT subject, AP test prep, and general academic subjects. Throughout my 8 years of experiencing tutoring middle school and high school students, I aim to help students raise their test scores through targeting points of weakness and developing the tools to conquer those areas. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, listening to music, traveling, and reading.
I am an incoming medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. I graduated from Rice University in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Medical Humanities and Business.
I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Drama and Theatre Arts. I taught math and essay writing to my peers in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.
I am a junior studying Writing for Screen and Television at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. For the past two spring semesters I worked as a CollegeSpring Mentor, tutoring Green Dot Charter high school juniors for the SAT and teaching them predatory skills for college. In addition to my experience tutoring for the SAT, as a screenwriting major I most enjoy teaching my favorite subject, English. I love showing students the power language endows upon them to communicate their ideas and beliefs with others. I believe every student deserves the chance to succeed and to try to capitalize on their strengths while encouraging them to improve in areas they may traditionally find challenging. Endowing a student with confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but also show improved confidence and happiness is the most rewarding part of my job.
John's English and Drama training sharpened the close-reading and rhetorical analysis skills that the PSAT's Evidence-Based Reading section rewards — identifying how authors structure arguments, use tone shifts, and deploy evidence across paired passages. His 36 ACT and experience teaching both SAT Math and SAT Reading mean he tackles the full exam, including the algebra-heavy no-calculator section where students often stumble on multi-step word problems. Rated 4.9 by students.
I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PSAT is a standardized test that measures reading, writing, and math skills—essentially a practice version of the SAT. For students in Little Rock, it's valuable because it helps identify strengths and weaknesses before the actual SAT, qualifies students for National Merit recognition (which can open scholarship opportunities), and provides a realistic score range to set college goals. Taking it seriously in 10th or 11th grade gives you time to address weak areas before SAT test day.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort, but students typically see gains of 50-150 points when they work with a tutor on targeted strategies and consistent practice. The key is identifying which sections (reading, writing, or math) need the most work, then focusing study time there. A tutor can help you pinpoint exactly where you're losing points and create a personalized plan to address those gaps.
Timing is one of the biggest challenges students face—the PSAT has strict time limits that require both speed and accuracy. A tutor can teach you which questions to tackle first, how to skip strategically without losing points, and techniques to read passages more efficiently. Practice tests are essential here; working through full-length practice tests under timed conditions, then reviewing what slowed you down, is the fastest way to build better pacing habits.
This is very common, and personalized tutoring is perfect for addressing it. A tutor can focus your study time on your weaker section while maintaining your strength in the other. For example, if reading is your challenge, a tutor might work with you on vocabulary in context, identifying main ideas quickly, and tackling different question types. If math is the issue, they can target specific topics (algebra, geometry, data analysis) where you're losing points.
Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about what to expect or feeling unprepared. Working with a tutor builds confidence through familiarity—you'll practice the exact question formats you'll see, understand the test structure inside and out, and develop strategies that feel automatic on test day. Many students find that knowing they've prepared thoroughly and having a concrete plan for tackling each section significantly reduces anxiety and helps them perform at their best.
Your first session typically starts with a diagnostic assessment to identify your current strengths and weaknesses across all three sections. You'll discuss your goals (National Merit qualification, college prep, specific score target), review your testing timeline, and work with your tutor to create a personalized study plan. This foundation helps ensure every future session is focused and productive, rather than generic test prep.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of regular tutoring before test day, meeting 1-2 times per week depending on their starting level and goals. If you're aiming for National Merit recognition or targeting a specific score, starting earlier gives you more time to practice and solidify strategies. Your tutor can recommend a timeline based on your initial assessment and how much improvement you need to reach your target score.
Practice tests are essential because they show you exactly what test day feels like—the time pressure, question formats, and mental stamina required. They also reveal which specific skills need work and whether your timing strategies are actually working. Your tutor will use practice test results to guide your study plan, focusing on patterns in your mistakes rather than just drilling random problems. Taking multiple practice tests throughout your prep is one of the most effective ways to improve your actual PSAT score.
