I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools, helping them with the preparation of tests such as the SAT and ACT.
I believe that the key for a successful preparation of a challenging test such as the SAT is exercise, in fact I believe that is crucial to start the preparation with an adequate advance to gain confidence with the standard exercises we can find in the exam.
My lessons are based on mock exercises: we go through them together seeing what are the student's gaps and then reviewing the theory of those gaps.
I also believe that my method I successful since I can relate to the fear and anxiety a student preparing such a stressful exam is living, having prepared it not so long ago.

Hello, my name is Eugenia and I completed my master's degree at HEC Paris – one of the best business schools in Europe.
A few years ago, I was in your situation: I desperately wanted to get into a top school, had to pass the GMAT, write essays, and prepare for interviews. I know how overwhelming it can all seem.

That’s why I accompany students on this path today – step by step.

✨ This is how my GMAT lessons work:

We start with a diagnostic test to understand your starting level.

Each lesson combines clear theoretical explanations with practical exercises from official materials.

After every 10 lessons, we will take a mock test, which we will evaluate together to measure your progress and adjust your learning plan.

You will learn not only “formulas,” but also strategies to make the most of your time and avoid common mistakes.

✨ Application Support:
At the same time, I will help you with your application:

CV & Essays: We work together on texts that truly reflect your personality.

Interview preparation: We simulate interviews so that you appear confident and authentic.

Strategy: Which business schools are right for you? How can you stand out from other applicants?

Why should you work with me?
Because I know exactly how it feels—the doubts, the stress, the uncertainty. I experienced it myself and ultimately achieved my goal. Now I want to help you realize your dream, too.

📍 Online lessons, flexible
🎯 Goal: your admission to a top business school

Having helped many students master high-stakes testing, I help students transition from the traditional classroom habit of 'showing all work' to a high-efficiency test-taking strategy. Instead of getting bogged down in lengthy calculations, we focus on aggressive problem-solving tactics and 'quick-look' methods. My goal is to equip you with the specific shortcuts and trap-detection skills needed to bypass the noise and reach the final solution instantly.

Comprehensive Domain Mastery
We cover all four critical content areas tested by the College Board, prioritizing the high-yield topics that make up 70% of your score:
Algebra (~35%): Mastering linear equations, inequalities, functions, and systems—the "Heart of Algebra".
Advanced Math (~35%): Conquering quadratics, exponential functions, and nonlinear models.
Problem-Solving & Data Analysis (~15%): Navigating ratios, percentages, probability, and complex statistical data.
Geometry & Trigonometry (~15%): Solving area/volume, circle theorems, and right-triangle trigonometry.

The "Test-Taker’s" Strategy
Knowledge of math isn't enough; you need the right tactics to handle the Adaptive Module system. We focus on:
Desmos Mastery: Utilizing the built-in graphing calculator to solve complex equations in seconds.
Pacing & Time Management: Learning when to "plug in numbers" or "backsolve" rather than doing full algebraic work.
Trap Identification: Spotting "attractors"; wrong answers designed to look right if you miss a single step.
Student-Produced Responses: Mastering the "Grid-in" section where there are no multiple-choice options to lean on. I teach you how to avoid formatting errors and double-check your logic to ensure 100% accuracy on these high-pressure questions.
The Error Log: Analyzing your practice tests to identify whether mistakes are due to content gaps or "careless" errors

Whether you are aiming to break 600 or fighting for a perfect 800, I provide the specific cue-based instructions you need to know exactly what the question is asking the moment you read it.

As a senior high school student, my main goal is to teach students about the beauty of mathematics and demystify concepts. Over the years, I've developed a deep foundation in this subject, it's a way of thinking, a mindset. I have participated in national and international mathematics competitions, and for this particular reason i am exposed to expand my knowledge and critical thinking. In any mathematics class, my utmost aim is to ensure that the student understands math concepts thoroughly before memorizing formulas and applying them. Thank you.
