Private SAT coaching from a perfect scorer.
Private coaching for families seeking a careful, individualized path to stronger scores and greater academic confidence.
A short note for parents
How I find where SAT points are being lost
In this short breakdown, I explain the SAT Precision Framework: how I review a student's work, identify the real score bottleneck, and decide what should be fixed first.
Send the current score, target score, and test date. I'll tell you what I would fix first.
July Private Roster
I work with 6 students at a time so each family receives direct attention, a clear plan, and careful review.

Plan of Attack
Custom classes, AI-assisted grading, and targeted homework rebuilt around every review.
Climb the Ladder
Walk into the exam room with total confidence — get your score and apply to your dream school.
More useful feedback after every assignment.
I use custom AI-assisted tools to turn each practice set into a sharper plan: grade the work, surface recurring mistake patterns, and build homework around what the student actually needs next.
I review every recommendation myself. AI makes the feedback loop faster and more detailed; the judgment, teaching, and relationship remain fully human.
Deeper grading
Work is reviewed for concepts, pacing, and error type — not just marked right or wrong.
Truly custom homework
Practice adapts to the student’s missed skills, target score, timeline, and current workload.
Better use of lesson time
I enter each session already knowing what changed, what is sticking, and what needs attention next.

A more careful approach to SAT preparation.
I do not start by assigning more random practice. I start by finding where points are actually leaking: comprehension, timing, careless errors, question recognition, or test strategy.
Then I build the coaching around the few changes most likely to move the score. Your student works directly with me: a perfect scorer, National Merit Scholar, and Software Engineer at Microsoft who has helped 250+ students build a more precise SAT plan.
Human-led, technology-augmented
Every student receives direct private coaching from me, supported by my own AI-assisted systems for analyzing mistakes, identifying recurring score patterns, and personalizing practice between sessions. The technology sharpens my diagnosis; it never replaces the teaching.
Private fit
For families seeking private academic guidance.
A student aiming for a top score, not just a small bump.
A family that wants a SAT Precision Framework review before more practice.
A student who has tried videos, apps, classes, or tutors and still feels stuck.
