Dear Milton: What a Year It's Been — Thank You

What a year it's been. I'm immensely grateful for this town and all of the blessings it's presented me with in 2024.

Last March, I started my SAT tutoring business with the goal of giving back to the town that gave me everything. My goal was to make an impact by helping aspiring high-achieving students score exceptionally high. In the first month, while still studying at Milton Academy, I amassed over a dozen students who saw the same vision I did. I am very proud to say that I have worked with almost 30 students to date in math, SAT, and other standardized tests.

When I left Milton in the fall to pursue a college education at Harvard University, I didn't want to give up my vision. I continued tutoring Milton residents virtually for October and December SAT exams. I also wanted to give work opportunities to exceptionally bright students at Milton Academy, where my dream started. Today, almost 10 tutors — including a perfect 1600 scorer and many other bright talents — have joined our team, tutoring in SAT, ISEE, SSAT, and beyond.

What's the secret?

1. Regular practice tests allow you to apply what you're learning and see what you need to study.
2. Studying what you get wrong on the practice tests allows you to fill in your gaps and not waste your time on hundred-page textbooks of general knowledge.
3. Having others hold you accountable ensures that you make progress over time.

If you will allow me, I would like to be the reason that you achieve your goals in the SAT and beyond. Thank you.
