History Established in 2007. I started SD Higher Scores in 2007, when I became frustrated with limitations of the tutoring methods used by the company I worked for. I started off helping students with their high school math and chemistry classes, and expanded into test prep for the SAT, ACT, and GRE.Since then, I have moved to Encinitas and now work with students from my office in Rancho Santa Fe. I have helped hundreds of students achieve their goals of getting the best test scores they can. While I work with many students tutoring online through Skype, most of my students come from the cities of Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Norte, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Fairbanks Ranch and 4S Ranch.Test prep doesn’t need to be a scary, stressful ordeal. My passion is for helping students and their families get through this process without adding even more pressure to an already pressure filled time while getting scores they can be proud of.

I played college basketball at St. Mary's College and Whittier College where I earned my B.A. in Psychology in 2002. My most important college mentors were coaches and teachers, so once I realized I didn't want to chase the dream of professional basketball, it's not surprising that I turned to teaching and tutoring as a career. After college, I taught high school chemistry and started doing some individual tutoring on the side. I had scored in the 97th percentile on my own SATs, and as I began helping students prepare for their ACT and SAT exams, I realized both that I had a knack for understanding the psychology of standardized tests and that I preferred individualized tutoring to teaching in crowded classrooms of 35 students. Ten years later, I'm a full-time academic and test prep tutor who scored above the 9
