Our Story
While working for a major test prep company, I saw firsthand that not all students were able to reach their full potential through a one-size-fits-all approach to learning. That's why, as the founder of Triangle Test Prep, I wanted to create a tutoring service that takes into account each student's individual learning style and needs.

Hello!
I am an extremely knowledgeable and effective tutor. In my several years at a major test prep company, I had one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the country. In less than a year, they promoted me to training the company's teachers in Upstate South Carolina. I trained instructors on the SAT, ACT, GRE (the graduate school entrance exam), LSAT (law school), GMAT (business school), and MCAT (medical school).
In other words, I am expert in an incredibly broad range of subjects and have a proven track-record of producing first-class students. But more than that, I know how to teach. Most tutors know their subjects well, but what makes a really great tutor is a teacher who knows his students. I study my students carefully—learning how they learn, paying attention to what might discourage them, applauding them for succeeding in difficult challenges—so that I will be able to meet them in their weaknesses and not crush them with the difficulties that they must inevitably face on test day.
Another trait that makes me an excellent tutor is my versatility: I have broad interests in everything from biology and chemistry to linguistics and philosophy, I am equally at home in the humanities and the hard sciences. I excel at teaching “science kids” to write well and “humanities kids” to dream in numbers. I thoroughly enjoy "challenge" students and have had great success in working with clients with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, and ASD. Whatever the learning difficulties, nothing brings me greater joy in my work than seeing a student who despised a subject build confidence in it and go on to study the field at an advanced level.
If you would like to see how I can help, simply send a message and I will be in touch as soon as possible. I am taking students on a first-come, first serve basis—and my schedule is rapidly filling.
I look forward to meeting with you!
