I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools, helping them with the preparation of tests such as the SAT and ACT.
I believe that the key for a successful preparation of a challenging test such as the SAT is exercise, in fact I believe that is crucial to start the preparation with an adequate advance to gain confidence with the standard exercises we can find in the exam.
My lessons are based on mock exercises: we go through them together seeing what are the student's gaps and then reviewing the theory of those gaps.
I also believe that my method I successful since I can relate to the fear and anxiety a student preparing such a stressful exam is living, having prepared it not so long ago.

TL;DR: If you're preparing for the Digital SAT and need guidance, I'm here to help. I scored 1540 (750 in English, 790 in Math) and am currently studying Quantum Technology at Aalto University on a scholarship.

Here's everything you need to know:

About Me
I’m currently a first-year bachelor’s student at the School of Science in Aalto University, where I secured a highly competitive full-tuition scholarship thanks to my SAT score (1540: Math 790, English 750). I’ve been an SAT tutor for over a year now, teaching both group classes and one-on-one sessions. In total, I’ve helped more than 70 students reach their SAT goals. Back in Bangladesh, I worked as an SAT instructor at Mentors' and developed the SAT teaching curriculum at Noetic. With this experience under my belt, I’ve designed a teaching method that’s effective, flexible, and, most importantly, tailored to you.

How My Classes Work
The SAT is all about finding patterns and mastering the "game". My classes are structured to help you do exactly that. In each class, I will teach you some theoretical basics first and then make you go through some actual SAT problems related to those basics. It's not about me showing you how to solve, rather it's about making you capable to think like a 1500+ scorer. In the process, I'll observe your thought process and give feedback on where you are going wrong and what you doing right. Sounds impressive?

Here’s the class breakdown:

English Classes

Words in Context
Text Structure and Purpose
Cross-Text Connections
Central Ideas and Details
Command of Evidence (Textual, Quantitative)
Inferences
Boundaries
Form, Structure, and Sense
Rhetorical Synthesis
Transitions

Math Classes

Algebra: 3 sessions
Advanced Math: 3 sessions
Problem Solving and Data Analysis: 3 sessions
Geometry and Trigonometry: 2 sessions

Don’t worry; the number of classes is flexible. If you’re already confident in certain topics, we’ll skip them and focus on what needs improvement. This isn’t a cookie-cutter course—it’s all about what works best for you.

Logistics
Duration: Each class is 1.5 hours.
Preferred Schedule: After 6 PM (but we can discuss).
Class Options: Online (Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams) or in-person (either at Aalto University, my place, or yours (applicable for Espoo and Helsinki)).

Why Choose Me?
Sure, there are tons of SAT prep courses out there. But when you hit a wall or feel like your progress has plateaued, that’s where I come in. You'll choose me because —
a) I have a high score, so I know how to crack this.
b) I have taken the SAT on Oct, 2023 and since then taught more than 70 students all over the world. So, I am updated with the curriculum and process.
c) I am already studying in a reputed university with scholarship leveraging my SAT score. So, I can guide through the admission process (be it in Europe or US) as well.
d) I am a no bullshit guy. If you need 2/3 classes only, that's fine. If you need 20 classes, that's also fine. I am here to make money but not to exploit. So, I offer huge flexibility.

I’ll help you:
Identify the SAT’s patterns and tricks.
Focus on your weak areas while leveraging your strengths.
Understand the nuances of scoring 1500+.
Navigate college admissions (both in the U.S. and Europe).

Plus, if you’re up for it, you’ll get free life advice and philosophical discussions along the way. (Yes, seriously.)

What My Students Say
A lot of my students start off feeling stuck and overwhelmed but end up feeling confident and in control. They’ve told me that my approach is not just practical and effective, but surprisingly enjoyable too! The SAT isn’t just a test—it’s a challenge you can conquer with the right mindset and strategies.

Ready to Get Started?
Whether you’re aiming for a 1200 or pushing for a 1550+, I’m here to help you achieve your goals. Let’s make this happen together.

Reach out, and let’s chat about how I can support your SAT journey. Looking forward to hearing from you!
