I graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Law, and then completed an MSc in Bioethics at Harvard Medical School. Previously, I achieved an SAT score in the top 1% (1570, English 770, Math 800). I have taught SAT English for 3+ years, focusing primarily on test-taking strategy. The SAT is not about understanding facts or content; it's about knowing how to locate the right answer as quickly as possible. Therefore, each of my lessons focuses on the specific questions that students WILL be asked. I carefully customise each lesson to match the needs of the student. For example, with students who have already started practising and have decently high scores, I make sure to pinpoint specific areas of weakness that will allow them to attain top scores. I do not believe in teaching topics that the student already knows. My goal is always to help students get to the next level and achieve scores which will allow them to enter top universities as well. Read less

Firstly, it is crucial to pinpoint exactly where the student needs to improve and which types of questions are the most challenging for them. This allows me to prioritise the topics which will make a difference in the student's score. I strongly believe that understanding certain grammar rules and honing reading strategies is the key to success on the SAT. My job is to support you not only in understanding these rules and concepts, but also in learning the SKILL of taking the test itself. Read less
