History

Established in 2006.

Having worked in a variety of industries early in my career — investment banking, consulting, financial recruiting, and domestic engineering — I embarked on a new path in the educational field in 2003. After teaching and tutoring with Kaplan Test Prep, I formed Shark Tutor in 2006 to provide the highest level of individualized test prep.

I have worked successfully with more than 700 families over the past 12 years. I provide one-​on-​one, semi-​private, and small class instruction. Individualized programs include mock testing, personalized instruction, and use of the best prep materials. Almost all of my students achieve their testing goals: for the SAT, most improve 250 – 350 points, and for the ACT, most improve 3 – 4 Composite points. Some have improved over 400 points on the SAT, and some have improved over 7 Composite points on the ACT. More important, I help shape the college application process into a richly rewarding and stress-​free journey.
