For the past two years, I watched my younger brother and sister navigate the overwhelming maze of SATs, AP exams, and college applications. Having scored nearly perfectly on the SAT and earned admission to my dream school (University of Pennsylvania), I knew I could use what I'd learned to help students just like them. So, I became a test prep tutor.

Over the past year, working with tutoring companies big and small, I mastered the strategies and techniques to achieve repeatable success on standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Along the way, I've helped dozens of students boost their SAT scores by over 200 points and ace their AP exams. But beyond the numbers, I discovered something even more rewarding: I loved it. Seeing students overcome challenges, exceed their own expectations, and build confidence in themselves became the most fulfilling part of the work.

I know firsthand how stressful transitioning to college is — not just for students but (maybe even more so) for parents too. I started Strive Scholars to provide personalized support that helps families ease that burden. Any student can succeed. And I'm here to equip them not just with the academic skills they need to excel, but also with the confidence to take on whatever comes next — in college and beyond.
