The PSAT is basically a SAT practice test, an assessment of related skill and concept areas. The only different between them is test duration times. I’ve tutored middle school and high school students for all sections of the PSAT as a strong foundation for eventual SAT prep. For PSAT Reading, I teach students how to break down each passage, “translate” the questions into simple directions, and apply the best strategies to find the right answers. As well as tips and tricks, we study grammar rules and writing mechanics thoroughly so they can score high in the PSAT Writing section. PSAT Math is the most challenging section because success depends on individual math knowledge and analytical thinking skills. I first walk students through concept review before we approach the different question types they can expect to see in both the no-calculator and calculator sections. We “think outside the box” and use the quickest solving techniques so they are prepared to answer similar questions and finish well within the time limit.

I've been teaching the PSAT, SAT, and ACT for 9+ years and my students have gone on to boast their scores by 200+ points. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you! Coming from a background of online education and homeschooling as well as attending an Ivy League university, I am extremely capable of not only helping you reach your goals, but pushing you further in accomplishing amazing achievements! Boost your scores by learning with a tutor who achieved a perfect score on the PSAT, SAT, and ACT.

Prepare for the SAT with the PSAT

I scored in the 96th percentile on the SAT. I have experience tutoring in all of the subjects that are included in the SAT and PSAT.

I have earned my BA and an MA in education which allows me a deeper understanding of not only how to teach, but how to learn. I want to pass on this knowledge to you or your child. I have spent my life developing good study skills and have used them successfully at all levels of my education as an international baccalaureate and AP student and as an undergraduate and graduate student. I have also taught international students the skills necessary to succeed in a college environment in English for academic preparedness classes which not only teach the language but the culture of the university. IF A TIME IS NOT LISTED AS AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE. I CAN PROBABLY ACCOMMODATE YOU :)

Are you preparing to take the PSAT? I'd love to help you. After you take a practice test with me, we'll identify what concepts need to be reviewed to prepare you for the big day. My only goal is for you to succeed! Concepts in Mathematics: Measurements – time, length, weight, volume, area Place Value Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Order of Operations Decimals Fractions Equations Inequalities Properties – Commutative, Associative, Distributive, Identity Concepts in Algebra: Simplifying - Distributive, FOIL Exponents Polynomials Negatives Substitution Method Angles Graphs & Graphing Slope of a Line Factoring Square Roots and Radicals Probability & Statistics Geometry Word problems I’m also a devotee of grammar and proofreading skills. I have been hired be several published authors to proofread their novels prior to publications. So if you need assistance with improving your Writing Skills, I am available for this as well – two tutors for the “price” of one.
