Over a Decade of Experience Tutoring SAT, ACT, and College Strategy

You want that college acceptance letter.

You need a high SAT score.

I can help you get both.

College admissions are more competitive than ever. As a parent, you might remember applying to these institutions. You also know the landscape is completely different today.

Many parents feel helpless and overwhelmed trying to get their children into a good school. The College Admissions process is demanding, stressful, and in many ways unfair. We’ll conquer it together.

When you work with me, we’ll start with the numbers. I’ll help your child get an SAT score above a 1500, and those competitive colleges will start to look more feasible. But it doesn’t stop there. I offer multi-year college strategy programs (and a la carte options) to help your child develop his/her passions into something truly unique. I’ve gotten students into every college in the Ivy League, plus Stanford, MIT, UChicago, and other top schools.

Hear from Students & Parents

  • I loved the structure of the program because ultimately the only way to get better at the test is taking it a lot of times and reviewing it, which is what we did. The worksheets and other resources were also helpful, but taking practice tests and learning from mistakes with Chelsey was by far the most useful.

    -A.G.

  • Our daughter prepared for the SATs with Chelsey. Chelsey knows how to work with students to get results based on their respective aptitude, personality, and motivation. She is calm and supportive with us parents as well. She is incredibly responsive by email and always available for a quick check-in. I appreciate her decisiveness as we navigate this complex process of college applications. Her confidence is inspiring.

    -N.SM.

  • Chelsey was instrumental in helping my college Sophmore navigate a tough English class which was needed for him to move on into his degree program. Not only did he gain an A in the class; he also gained confidence and skills for future writing classes. I could not recommend her highly enough.

    -C.H.

  • My favorite thing about Chelsey is that she is always so positive and enthusiastic. During my SAT prep we reviewed every problem I got wrong on practice tests until I understood the concept. If I didn't understand a concept right away she tried to explain it in another way. With Chelsey’s help, my score went up 150 points and I achieved my goal of 1520!

    -C.S.

  • I loved how it was tailored to my interests and what I wanted to do. Chelsey helped me find the things I was passionate about and gave me good feedback on my essays. Wouldn't have gotten into my dream school (Tufts) without her.

    -S.K.

  • I really enjoyed the structured sessions and Chelsey’s unique methods of remembering concepts.
