99th percentile (top 1%) tutor for ALL SECTIONS of the SAT ACT and PSAT with 4 years of experience.

I am a current industrial engineering student at Northwestern University (ranked 9th in the US by US News and in the top 30 universities worldwide by most rankings). I scored 1590/1600 on the SAT (a score above 1550 is typically in the top 1% of test-takers), a 1500/1520 on the PSAT (a preliminary version of the SAT for which I achieved National Merit Finalist, an achievement only 15,000 students from each grade in the US achieve), and 36s on official ACT tests (a perfect score).

I have worked as a standardized test tutor for the past 4 years, freelance, at small companies in the US, and at larger companies like Kaplan and PrepExpert. I have helped dozens of students achieve excellent results, including an improvement from 1200/1600 to 1490/1600 on the SAT over the course of 15 hours of tutoring and from 32/36 to 36/36 on the ACT after 20 hours of tutoring.

I have worked as a college admissions consultant for the past 2 years and have helped students with applications that have gotten them admitted into the top 20 universities in the US, including Northwestern University, UCLA and Cornell University.

I believe that there are no “bad test takers” and that anyone can succeed with sufficient understanding of their exam. I work to not only teach the content on standardized tests but to make sure students understand how the test works and find strategies for the student. For any given question, I both explain why the right answer is correct and offer several approaches that make it easier and faster to find. I try to give my students a “toolbox” of strategies for them to employ so that they never feel lost on a given question.

Leila (Shamira)
SAT, SAT Math 1, SAT Math 2, GMAT, GRE, GRE Math 1 and 2
Dear students and parents, I am an enthusiastic and hard-working multilingual (English, Russian, Turkish, Azerbaijani) Math and Statistics educator and Data Analyst with 12 years of teaching and 16 years of research experience in an international environment. Focused on an outcome-based approach to progress and deadline-oriented. I usually hear from parents, that I make their kids love math, and it makes me the happiest teacher. First, as a Math Teacher, my main aim is to encourage students to analyze the problem carefully and find different solutions for one question. This method helps students to choose the easiest way of solution for her/him during the exam and finish it in time. I teach students both ways how to solve questions without a calculator with math tricks, and how to use a calculator more effectively. As you know in the exam there might be non-calculator and calculator papers. Moreover, this ability helps students not only to understand the math subject deeply but also will be very helpful during their adult life. Having teaching experience (Math and Statistics) in one of the top universities in the US (UW-Madison) helped me see the path of a student from the school bench to the university auditorium. Only by working in both school and university, you can understand what is better to learn for a student to be helpful in the future university years and how to show the connection between the math SAT and math at the university level. Years of hands-on work experience and a keen interest in Math teaching as a profession (in both school and university), as a deep understanding of the connection between school and university Math have prepared me well to see the strengths and weaknesses of the student and how to use that strong side of a student to improve the gaps that student earned in her/his earlier years. Therefore, I believe that all these experiences will help me smoothly raise the level of my students and succeed in their future lives. Sincerely, Leila
