Hi! My name is Lara, and I’ve spent several years teaching and working with students one-on-one. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics and a master’s in Education from Harvard, where I also served as a Course Assistant. I primarily tutor test prep (SAT, SSAT) and math.

I have extensive private tutoring experience and have even designed and taught multiple digital SAT prep courses. In anonymous student feedback, 100% of participants agreed the course improved their skills in both math and English and said they would recommend it to a friend. I also stay sharp by regularly taking digital SAT practice exams myself, consistently scoring between 1570–1600. This gives me a deep understanding of the exam and how to help students pinpoint their strengths and areas for growth.

Education has always been a calling for me. One of my long-term dreams is to create a school that provides high-quality education to all students, regardless of background.

When I’m not teaching, I love hosting game nights with friends, cooking, working out at CrossFit, watching old movies, and playing board games. I’m excited to be part of the Âé¶¹Ô­´´ team and can’t wait to support our amazing students!
