About

Aiming for that final push towards your dream SAT math score?

In this series, I’ll walk you through some of the hardest SAT Math questions—the ones designed to trip up even strong test-takers. We’ll focus on:

- Advanced problem types (nonlinear functions, abstract algebra, data traps)

- Time management strategies to avoid burnout and second-guessing

- Quick-recognition techniques to know which strategy to use and when

- Common errors and how to avoid them

- Utilizing DESMOS to it's maximum

You’ll also get insight into how I improved my own SAT Math score from a 720 to a 790 by working smarter—not longer. If you want to refine your skills and boost your confidence, this class is for you.

Let’s close that gap- together.

Hi friends! 👋 I’m a rising high school senior based in Texas, and I’m so excited to help you on your SAT Math journey. I’m that person who tried every strategy, hack, and silly TikTok tip out there (some worked, some flopped)—but after six months of serious trial and error (and maybe some crying), I brought my Math score up from a 720 to a 790. So yes, I’ve been in the trenches, and I know what works. I’m passionate about teaching and sharing the tips that actually helped me, so you can skip the stress spiral and reach your dream score. I took six APs junior year (traumatizing but character-building 😅), got straight A’s, and still found time to watch way too many K-dramas, obsess over aesthetics on Pinterest, paint, journal, and cook. Oh, and I co-founded a nonprofit where I teach kids to code and lead workshops, so I love breaking things down in a way that makes sense (and hopefully makes you laugh a little). I’ve also tutored peers in math and run digital study sessions, so this isn’t my first rodeo.
