SSAT Lessons in Woodside. Amazing Teachers.

I tutor all sections of the ssat (as well as the sat/act) and can help you understand how to approach each section. Whether it is what to look for in the reading paragraphs, how to make learning vocabulary fun or identifying your weaknesses in math: I can quickly help you figure out what to focus on and how to study it. With the right study plan and focus it is relatively easy to rapidly improve your score on this test.

For over 10 years, I’ve helped elementary school, middle school, and high school students prepare for all sections of the Elementary Level SSAT, Middle Level SSAT, and Upper Level SSAT. In addition to reviewing SSAT verbal and SSAT math concepts, students master analogies, build their vocabulary knowledge, sharpen their reading skills, and learn the art of solving word problems. I also guide them through the SSAT essay/short story section so their writing really shines and sets them apart from other applicants. Whether students invest months of time in their test prep or spend a few lessons with me to improve their test performance, they raise their scores and become better test takers.

I prepare students for this test using materials that focus on specific math word problems. I also include test taking skills.

I am a current private tutor and entrepreneur with 9+ years of experience FEATURED ON FORBES 30 UNDER 30 in 2016.

I strive to not just teach the subject, but also the psychology of elite test-takers, to not just get you ready for one test, but to also teach you the process that allows for repeated & continued success.

With my quadrilingual ability, I created “La Méthode” or in English, The Method, a tutoring style combining the best of the American and the French approachs to learning so that students can learn from world-renowned theories at the same time as they discover more practical examples to delve into.

My goal is to see you so proficient with the subject that you are able to teach it yourself.
