Who I Work With
I work with high school students preparing for the SAT or ACT who benefit from a focused, personalized approach. Many of my students are capable but need targeted guidance to improve scores, strengthen test-taking strategies, and approach the exam with greater confidence.
 
A Personalized Approach
Each student works directly with me in a one-on-one setting. Sessions are tailored to the student’s strengths, areas for improvement, and specific testing goals. This individualized approach allows for steady progress and a more confident test-taking experience.
 
Experience You Can Trust
I bring over 30 years of experience in education, including more than 20 years of private SAT and ACT tutoring. I have worked with students from many well-known Tampa area high schools and understand the expectations and goals of college-bound students and their families.
