Why You Should Choose A Private Tutor For SAT, SATII and ACT Prep

​

The math and science sections of the college admissions tests can be intimidating, and many students aren’t sure where to turn for help. Prep courses can be crowded and impersonal, and they may not present the information in the way you learn best. You have a full high school course load, conflicting social and family obligations, and maybe even a job. You don’t have time to run around searching for the best way to prepare for your college entrance exams.
 
Private SAT tutoring and ACT tutoring may be the best solution for you. You don’t need to be a math or science guru to score highly on your tests. You just need a tutor who can break down the material and the psychology of the tests in a way that makes sense to you. Whether you are preparing for the SAT, the ACT, or the SAT II subject tests, private tutoring can be an excellent solution.

I am a chemical engineer with over 10 years of experience in the tech sector. I began tutoring in high school, and I left engineering three years ago to tutor full time. I have always been passionate about science and math, and I found that tutoring other students helped me hone my own skills.

 

After graduating from high school as valedictorian, I majored in chemical engineering at Clarkson University. I continued tutoring throughout college, and I graduated at the top of my major. I was a teaching assistant during graduate school at Tufts University. I also worked as an engineer and scientist, primarily in clean energy, surface chemistry, thermal analysis, and measurement techniques.

 

After grad school, I moved to San Diego and continued tutoring while I interviewed for engineering positions. My tutoring practice grew rapidly, bringing new students each week. I decided to leave engineering in favor of full-time tutoring, and I launched Bricks Tutoring in 2015. After relocating to New York in 2018, I relaunched my tutoring company here.

 

I can help you learn more in less time, while boosting your scores and reducing your stress levels. You can ace those college admissions tests! We will achieve greatness together, mixing your hard work with my experience and skills.
