"Hi! My name is Ade and I’m excited to share my experience as a math and science tutor, specializing in SAT and ACT prep. I’ve been tutoring for over a decade, working with more than 100 students from diverse backgrounds, helping them reach their academic goals. My journey began with earning my degree from Cornell University, followed by medical school, where I faced some of the toughest academic challenges. These experiences underscored the importance of a solid learning process, which I now strive to instill in my students.

I started my teaching career in New York City’s public high schools, focusing on 9th-grade math and science. My approach is highly personalized, beginning with a thorough assessment of each student’s strengths and weaknesses through test scores, assignments, and feedback from teachers and parents. From there, I create a customized study plan focused on high-yield topics and key test-taking strategies, which often results in at least a 10% improvement in SAT/ACT scores.

I believe in fostering a growth mindset in my students, encouraging them to take ownership of their academic progress, set attainable goals, and learn from setbacks. This mindset is crucial in helping them build confidence and resilience. I collaborate closely with my students, ensuring they play an active role in shaping their study plans and schedules. For those needing to strengthen their foundations, we review challenging topics using practice test questions and targeted repetition. For students with a strong grasp, we focus on advanced strategies, time management, and tackling difficult questions under timed conditions. I utilize real SAT practice tests and question banks to ensure they are fully prepared on test day.

I’m committed to helping each student maximize their potential, build confidence, and achieve their best possible score. If you have any questions or want to discuss how I can support your academic journey, please feel free to reach out. I’m here to help you succeed!" less...
