About

The expertise of a researcher. The instincts of a coach.

I hold a PhD in psychology from Harvard, where my research examined how our thoughts shape our health. Before Cambridge, I spent seven years as a full-time tutor in New York City, working with students at some of the most competitive prep schools in the country.

I scored in the 99th percentile on every test I teach — and more importantly, I've built proprietary lesson materials and a proven process that has helped every student I've worked with improve their score. My approach is structured but personal: I adapt to how you think, not the other way around.

Think of me as a personal trainer. I bring the expertise, the coaching, and the structure. You bring the effort. Together we get you where you need to go.

"He helped me vastly improve my reading comprehension — and the grammar and math sections too. He's a patient tutor who reflects his teaching to the way you think. I'd recommend him to anyone. He will help you improve immensely."

"When I came to Peter, I had a 960 on my PSAT. After working with him I increased my score by 500 points. He uses multiple tools, assigns targeted packets, and teaches in a way that is never stressful or overwhelming."

"Working with Peter has been truly an exceptional experience. What stands out most is his ability to build my daughter's confidence while simultaneously challenging her to think critically. He tailors his approach to her learning style, and his guidance goes far beyond test prep. I cannot recommend Peter highly enough."
