Focused Skill Building • Targeted Test-Taking Strategies

Personal Approach to Build Confidence and Mastery


Welcome!

I am a tri-state area tutor who is passionate about guiding students of all different levels towards their full academic potential.

Through individual instruction, I discover and analyze each student’s unique profile of strengths and weaknesses in order to shape a program best suited to building confidence and mastery. For a student already scoring highly on the SAT/ACT, some exam-specific coaching and a focus on test-taking discipline may be the missing pieces that finally boost their score within range of their dream college. Meanwhile, a student underperforming in class or on exams may need more skill-building lessons and repetitions, as well as attention to other potential obstacles, such as test anxiety, fatigue, or lack of confidence.

I conduct in-person sessions with students throughout the New York metro area (Westchester & Rockland, NYC, southwestern CT, and northeastern NJ), and online sessions for those located elsewhere. I offer one-on-one, personalized instruction for:

  • Comprehensive SAT & ACT Prep

  • AP Exam Prep - Calculus AB/BC

  • SAT Math Subject Tests Levels I & II

  • Tutoring for all Math, Stats, & Computer Science courses

I know how challenging it can be to navigate the extensive demands of high school courses and standardized tests. I hope to have the opportunity to help!


Testimonials

 

“My experience with Jordan was not only a great success, but it was also a genuine pleasure from the first session through test day. I scored in the 1700s on my PSAT, leaving my projected test score much lower than the 2000+ I would need to get into my desired schools. After spending some time aimlessly studying in various SAT review guides, unsure of how to proceed, I knew I needed to do something different. With about a month to go before my first SAT, I finally started getting help from Jordan. After only a few weeks of concentrated studying, I sat for my first SAT and scored in the 1900s.

With more time before my next SAT, Jordan helped me zero in on my weak areas while reinforcing my strong ones. When I sat for my next, and final, SAT, I had a super score of 2190! This 400+ point increase from my PSAT could not have been achieved without Jordan’s help. In addition, Jordan’s help in math was particularly effective. With his help, I went from having my worst section scores being in math, to scoring a 760 on the Math SAT II.

If you or your child need help with any kind of test prep, Jordan is the absolute best out there.”

“Jordan worked with both of my sons in preparation for the SAT. He was able to simplify the process for them and help them focus on what they needed to do. He broke down complex concepts, addressed any skill work they needed and provided them with extremely valuable test taking strategies including successful time management. Thanks to Jordan, they were able to approach the test with confidence and both of them saw a significant increase in their scores.

I highly recommend Jordan. He is an excellent teacher who is able to adapt to individual learning styles and provides an individualized, personal and successful experience for each student.”

“The pressure our kids undergo to perform well on SAT/ACT tests can be one of the most stressful experiences for the entire family. Our son has always had to deal with test anxiety on state tests and Jordan was able to evaluate his needs and strengths while motivating him to put the work in to succeed. He adapted to our son's style of learning and honed in on fundamentals that needed improvement.  With one on one tutoring, our son was able to increase his overall score 180 points and be accepted to his target school.   Jordan is flexible, understanding and compassionate to both the student and parents.  We highly recommend Jordan.”
