Great results start with
a great experience

I'm Zach. For nearly twenty years, I've worked one-on-one with students on test prep, academic tutoring, and college essays. I hold a Master's in Progressive Education, but what my students will tell you is simpler: I make learning feel approachable.

I specialize in working with students who don't fit neatly into standardized boxes — holistic thinkers, students with test anxiety, different learning styles, or unconventional paths. By addressing focus, engagement, and mindset alongside strategy and skill, I help students show up to their exams as their full selves. My students have earned top scores and been accepted to Harvard, MIT, Dartmouth, Phillips Andover, Georgetown Law, and Harvard Business School — but the thing I hear most often isn't about scores. It's that studying together changed how they feel about learning.

"Zach is very patient, intuitive, and clear. Each lesson is tailored to work with my own learning style and struggles. I feel more emotionally equipped to tackle the learning material that a few months ago felt out of reach."

"My son looked forward to each tutoring session. After each appointment, he was optimistic and confident in the progress he was making. Zach helped him identify his strengths and develop strategies to improve his performance."
— Laura W., Brookline, MA
