Experience

Test scores - Scored 5 on 12 different AP tests; perfect score of 36 on the ACT; 2340 on SAT; scored above 750 on 5 SAT subject tests; perfect scores of 170 in both verbal and quantitative on the GRE. I have extensive experience tutoring both independently and for Crimson Consulting, a boutique college admissions adviser. In both situations, I have tutored in a variety of AP subjects, from economics, to chemistry, to world history. I have also worked as a college adviser, and my admissions success reflects my knowledge of applications (admitted to my top two choices for undergrad, and top four for grad school). As reflected by my major, math and science are areas of particular expertise, but I have also done extensive coursework, and am interested in teaching, for History, Writing and the Social Sciences. I am a co-author on research published in Science and Nature Energy. I have also authored numerous articles for the Harvard Political Review.
