About

I've always been a great tester.  This knack, along with an intuitive understanding of how to successfully navigate the college application process and of course the hard work it takes to succeed in high school, helped me earn lucrative scholarships and gain admission to every highly selective college I'd applied to, including my alma mater and Cambridge hometown college Harvard.

After graduation, I realized I also had a knack for helping students figure out how to nail standardized tests. I trained at Summit Educational Group, a premier East Coast in-home test prep company, and, in my first season, I helped my very first student achieve a perfect score and many more gain unusually good results. I was at least as pleased as they were, so, after heading west, I continued this gratifying work through Ivy West in Los Angeles.

I quickly realized that families wanted help with more than filling in bubbles, so I began sharing my highly effective approach to gaining admissions to elite colleges and providing families with tailored support throughout the college admissions process. I later went through the exceptionally selective and rigorous process of becoming a GMAT instructor for Manhattan Prep before fully settling into working with local families to help them successfully navigate the college admissions process. Once the pandemic hit, I grew comfortable with the idea that I could fully support students not only in person but also remotely.

Cambridge Prep provides my approach to the college admissions process based on what brought me great success and what I've learned from and developed over decades of supporting a diverse set of students in and around Los Angeles and beyond. I've been honing and sharing this approach with families in the Los Angeles area with truly exceptional results, and I welcome your family to join so many others in navigating a successful path to college.
