Hi! I'm Tapan “like Japan but with a T” Sharma. On merit, I got into the best schools in the country, including Princeton, Cornell, Brown and MIT. More importantly, I've helped my students do the same.

From humble beginnings to Harvard, I did it without any special resources, and have become the tutor, teacher, and instructor I wish I had while also drawing on the best teachers I was fortunate to have to become the country's leading SAT & ACT exam-prep expert.

I quickly adapt and customize my teaching style to any personality and ability, whether you're trying to understand fundamentals or maximize standardizes test scores. You will take away lessons from each session that you can use right away.

I've been a teacher in many arenas...

I taught Martial Arts to all ages and abilities for several years. 

I've been a leader as Class Speaker and President, Debate Team Captain and Homecoming King.

I've spearheaded volunteering efforts, from my hometown church nursery to designing a date auction for charity.

...so I know how to engage people of all backgrounds with confidence, overcoming any perceived cultural barriers, recognizing that communication, strategy, and empathy are keys to teaching.

I also an award-winning creative writer across screenplays, poetry, short stories, and more, and I help students with everything from college application essays to personal projects.

Looking forward to helping you succeed in school and beyond.
