Introduction
PLEASE NOTE MY RATE. Serious inquiries only, please: *SERVICES*: -SAT + ACT Prep (all sections) -Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions -Personal Statements -Professional Cover Letters + Resumes -And more! Hello! I am an experienced and highly trained private professional tutor of 13 years, specializing in all sections of the SAT, ACT, and all aspects of College Admissions Prep. I am a Princeton graduate where I was an English major. I scored a 2350 out of 2400 on my SAT: 800 Reading, 800 Writing, 750 Math. LOGISTICS: I am based in NYC and I use Facetime for remote tutoring. I am very well-versed in remote tutoring as I have tutored exclusively remotely for many years, well before COVID-19. I am flexible as I tutor all 7 days a week. I provide all of the necessary materials. PAYMENT: Test Prep sessions are the standard 1.5 hrs and are prorated. One HIGHLIGHT of my test prep: I pride myself on having a lengthy list of important tricks and strategies that you are highly unlikely to find elsewhere as I have developed most of them myself. In fact, it is not uncommon that my students' scores improve an equivalent of 80-110 points on the SAT/3-4 points on the ACT after just ONE session. ADMISSION RESULTS: with my test prep and college admission prep, I am thrilled to have helped over 500 students over the years who have gained admission to top schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Northwestern, UMichigan, Dartmouth, Amherst, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, UPenn, and Tufts among likely every college (across ALL tiers) that you have heard of (please see more in my photos below). I stand by my work 100% and look forward to impressing my clients. I hope to help and discuss further!

A solid ACT score is like gold, and Caroline knows how to coach you/your child to a great score. Do what she says and you’ll see huge improvements. I have absolute confidence in Caroline after working with her (I’m a college professor studying Alzheimer’s). Even though tutoring is expensive, a solid ACT score will save tens of thousands of dollars in tuition—and opens the doors to more prestigious schools. After only six sessions, my son improved 4 points (from 25 to 29) on the official ACT. He improved by 6 (31) if you include practice tests (there’s always fluctuation between attempts). Honestly, my son didn’t put in as much effort as he could have. This shows how valuable Caroline’s tutoring is. She knows what she’s doing—and equally important, she knows how to teach it. She understands the test, the material, and how to prepare for it. The trifecta, as it were. After his huge improvement, my son wants to take another crack at it, so we worked out a deal that I’ll pay for more sessions if he’ll put in four solid hours of studying per week (in addition to the tutoring and practice tests). I’m excited to see additional gains. Thanks so much, Caroline!

Caroline worked with my daughter to prep her for the ACT. She is very punctual and thorough, and no-nonsense. I’m really glad we went with her vs a course. My daughter went up from a 30 to a 34. Highly recommend Caroline.

I highly recommend Caroline. She provided excellent insight on the entire college process, helped with SAT and ACT prep as well as outstanding essay feedback. My daughter was accepted to UVA last month and we are grateful for Caroline’s guidance every step of the way.

If you are looking for SAT/ACT test prep, look no further. Caroline is a gifted tutor with great tips and tricks; she helped my son get a perfect 36 (E: 36, M: 36, R: 36, S: 36) on the ACT (first try). My son is bright and things usually come easy to him so he’s not the hardest working kid out there but Caroline managed to motivate him to put in the necessary work for a perfect score. On top of it all, Caroline is a very honest and ethical individual who always has you and your kid’s best interests in mind. Additionally, she is extremely flexible and adapts to the needs of your kid. She saved us tremendous amounts of time and money with the accommodations she made for my son. We will be hiring Caroline for college admissions counseling and for my daughter’s test prep. I can’t rave enough about Caroline; please feel to send me any questions as I am more than happy to answer. -RP
