SAT Prep & ACT Prep
Based on my past experience with students I’ve tutored for at least 8 sessions, you can expect to raise your score by an average of 80 to 120 points by working with me one-on-one.

Andrew is an empathic and intelligent young man who
has been an enormous help with SAT tutoring for two of our boys. He is able to hone in on their unique talents and areas that need improvement and work with them to greatly improve their outcomes.

Meet the Counselor
Andrew had a plan from an early age to get into the best college he could and this translated into a very focused high school career when he took the SAT five times. He went to Columbia University to study engineering and ended up exploring several different areas of study before landing on Psychology. He has been tutoring and teaching SAT/ACT Prep for the past 15 years. Originally trained as an SAT Tutor through Summit Educational Group in Boston, MA, Andrew and has more recently begun teaching SAT/ACT Prep classes through the Carolina Day School. He currently runs his own private practice in Asheville, NC.
Andrew combines his skill and training as a counselor, with his experience teaching and tutoring, to create a very welcoming environment for students. He excels at building rapport quickly and assessing each students unique needs. The most consistent feedback from his students is that they are surprised how engaging a session of prepping for the SAT can be!
