About Adam

Hi prospective parent/student! Here’s a bit about myself, I’m currently taking a gap year in NYC before attending Harvard next fall. I’ve lived in France, Spain, England, and the U.S, and I speak and write English, Spanish, and French fluently. I completed the IB Diploma and am glad to offer help on specific IB coursework. In line with my major, I love helping students with a range of writing skills, and likewise will gladly tutor (almost) any physics subject. When it comes to college prep, I have taken the SAT three times and improved my score 110 points along the way. Less than a year ago I applied to over fifteen universities in three different countries. I have a wealth of ideas I want to share regarding everything from college essays to extracurriculars to actually applying to and choosing schools.

Tutoring experience: I have tutored juniors in SAT test taking strategies and skills. I have also tutored Sophomores and Freshmen in a range of Physics and Math subjects. Additionally, I have peer edited many college essays.

Some thoughts: My main goal is to help students become self sufficient. I believe in the value of critical thinking and problem solving over memorization. I try not to fill sessions up with busy work but rather go through problems with my students. I know how overwhelming high school can be, and I want to do as much as possible to wash some of the unnecessary stress off.

I tutored in high school after helping some friends out and truly enjoying the experience. I started mostly helping students in physics and peer editing essays as we applied for college. I find tutoring extremely rewarding as it lets me share what I've learned with others and give students insights that I wish I had known. Recently, I've been advising friends and students on the daunting college application process and how to fit each component in in a thoughtful and authentic way.

About the lesson

I'd like to first schedule a free call or visit to get to know a new student and for them to get to know me. We'll talk more in detail about what exactly they need help in and how I can offer the most with what I know. From there I'll prepare myself and then we can plan a first session. I am pretty flexible with this.

Mostly High School and occassionally Middle School

For those interested in SAT tutoring:

I'm sure you've heard it before, but its truly a pearl of wisdom: the key to scoring well is knowing how to take the SAT. Don't be discouraged by your math scores or your reading scores. I know incredible mathmaticians who have done very poorly on the SAT and vice versa. Before you fall into a PrepScholar course, know there are students out there with fresh SAT test taking skills waiting to be handed off to you.

Adam tutored me on the SAT, on which I was struggling mainly with reading comprehension. His approach helped me understand it much better, and overall, I was able to increase my score by 50 points thanks to his sessions.

I employed him to teach my son (14) some math, as well as improve his writing skills. Throughout the three hour session, I could see my son had a lot of fun, and he certainly improved by the end of it. I will definitely employ Adam again. Thank you Adam!
