Reaching higher, together.
Ambika is a New York City based private tutor specializing in ACT, SAT, and math prep for the ambitious student. Let’s get to work.
Your teen is capable of
great accomplishments…
they just need support from someone
who knows the process.
My students have gone on to Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown, Cornell, Northwestern, Duke, Brown, and more.
Ambika is very uplifting and flexible. She helps target areas of difficulty and ensures that her methods “stick.”
— Alex, parent
“I'm at the higher end of the range for most of the schools I'm applying to! I just wanted to thank you so much for all of your help! It was great to work with you. You are an amazing tutor.”
— Lauren, student
“Working with Ambika was a game-changer for me. Her proven techniques helped me increase my SAT score substantially in a short period of time. I took the SAT only once and am at the top end of a range for most of the nation’s top colleges and university. I highly recommend Ambika because she will deliver results and boost your confidence.”
— Andrew, student
I empower students to…
Know what’s coming
Standardized tests are unlike anything students are doing or practicing in school. My strategies help students master the rules of the game.
Ask good questions
Asking insightful, problem-solving, self-reflective questions forces a student to lean in and look for answers, and be aware of what they don’t know.
Mind the mistakes
I get really clear on the root cause of my student’s mistake, and offer concrete ways to improve: drilling a formula, annotating the question, or implementing a focus tool.
Stay committed
Showing up once is step one. Showing up consistently is step two! Small steps over a long time leads to lasting success.
My 10 years of tutoring in the tri-state area, reaching kids across the country online, means you get to benefit from a decade of research on best practices. Your teen can learn from a tutor who has seen all kinds of scenarios and can respond quickly and intuitively.
Extensive Experience
A Passion for Teaching
When I was young, I was always mimicking my teachers, and even asked my parents for a chalkboard so I could teach my imaginary class. So it’s a dream to get to teach and study with kids every day. Teaching is more than a job, it’s a fulfilling passion.
