About Alex

With over 15 years of experience teaching SAT and ACT Reading & Writing and as the co-founder of a successful tutoring company in the Washington, DC area, I’ve helped hundreds of students boost their scores and gain admission to the universities of their choice. In recent years, my circumstances have taken me abroad — which led me to bring my tutoring business fully online. This shift now gives students everywhere the unique opportunity to work with a highly experienced professional who has a proven record of success. My approach combines proven strategies, personalized lesson plans, and supportive guidance — designed to take the stress out of test prep and replace it with clarity and confidence. Students and parents can trust that they’re working with someone who understands the exams inside and out and knows how to deliver results.

My Method & Techniques

Diagnostic-first approach: I begin by identifying each student’s strengths and weaknesses with a short assessment or sample test.

Grammar focus: One of the things today's high schools often fail to give students is a solid foundation in grammar. My sessions are designed to give students a comprehensive overview of English grammar that will set them apart not only on standardized tests but in their academic and professional careers.

Targeted strategies: I teach proven methods for eliminating trap answers, managing time effectively, and approaching each section with confidence.

Active learning: Lessons are interactive — students practice real test questions, explain their reasoning, and get immediate feedback so concepts stick.

Score tracking: Progress is measured regularly to keep students motivated and accountable.

A Typical Lesson Plan

Quick warm-up with a few practice questions.

Review of mistakes from previous homework or tests.

Strategy spotlight — focus on one skill (e.g., transitions in reading passages, punctuation rules, or pacing drills).

Guided practice with official-style questions.

Wrap-up & homework tailored to the student’s needs.

What Sets Me Apart

Proven results at scale: Hundreds of my students have improved their scores and gained admission to the universities they wanted.

Extensive experience: 15+ years in test prep means I know the exams inside out — including how they’ve changed over time.

Empathy & motivation: I understand the pressure students feel, and I make lessons as supportive as they are rigorous.

Insider perspective: As a co-founder of a tutoring company, I’ve designed and refined methods that consistently work across diverse learners.

Who My Lessons Are For

High school students preparing for the SAT or ACT (Reading, English, Writing/Essay).

Students aiming to raise scores for competitive college admissions or scholarships.

Learners at all levels — from those seeking to break out of the mid-range to high scorers pushing for top percentiles.

Non-native English speakers who need tailored Reading & Writing support.
