Who we are

I am driven by my curiosity to understand anything and everything, especially how my students’ brains are wired. I believe that the best tutors are ones who are able to identify gaps in student knowledge to help them in their learning journey. The SAT is a unique test because you have to be strategic to answer questions under time pressure. In addition, they twist the questions in a way most students have not been exposed to at school, meaning that getting all A’s or taking all AP classes are not sufficient enough to do well on the SAT. However, forming strategies and having a game plan for each question before taking the test increases the chance of students achieving a higher score.
Win the process; Win the result.

I have been working and tutoring students since 2015 for both math and English enrichment alongside preparations for tests such as the CBE / EOC, STAAR, CogAT and ITBS exams. Working with students has made me feel extremely grateful as I watch them grow and have their “lightbulb” moments. I have seen many students’ self-confidence boost and I hold all these experiences dear to my heart! STAAR and EOC testing is standardized across the state of Texas and has recently gone through some changes, such as the removal of the writing STAAR. For the other K-8th grade exams (CogAT, ITBS and the CBE), each district is a bit unique with when they have their exams start but the context of each is the same across the board. Please contact me for any questions or concerns!
