I specialize in standardized tests taken for higher education. I am a top scorer in GRE, GMAT, SAT and TOEFL and that was how I started tutoring while preparing for my applications. I now have been tutoring for almost two years and have had a broad range of students from different disciplines mostly from the Five colleges who are happy to provide references.

Having a degree in the social sciences I am especially competent in the quantitative and writing sections in which I scored in the to...

Thank you for the time with evaluating my daughter. You hit on some key points to help her with. Looking forward to having you working with her for her upcoming SAT.

Esra is great at breaking down a quant problem into its pieces and providing strategies which work best with my learning style. I really enjoy her teaching methods and feel she easily adjusts for each of her students. Each tutoring session with Esra makes an impact and I have already improved my speed and accuracy! Thank you!
- Ashley J. from Carrboro, NC
Esra is patient, effective and listens well. She responds to the needs of her students and tweaks lessons accordingly. I would highly recommend working with her.
- Jessica M. from Sewanee, TN
Esra helped to focus the student on the weaknesses and gave good encouragement and support. She was very flexible and caring in her availability. Would continue to use her services as needed.

Esta worked with me on GRE prep. The quantative section especially. Esta had a mastery of the material and the strategies. This combined with the plethora of resources she has was very helpful. She really did a remarkable job maximizing our time and assigning homework to help hammer everything home. Thanks Esra!
- Rhyne G. from Durham, NC
My fist lesson with Esra was surprisingly productive, given that I did not come prepared. She was able to quickly identify what I already knew and skillfully began to fill in the gaps and advance me forward. At the end of the class I walked away with new knowledge and newfound confidence in mastering a foreign language.

Esra is a highly qualified, intelligent, incredibly patient tutor. She has tutored my son for Algebra and he has responded very well to her methods!! Highly recommend!
- Nada M. from Strongsville, OH
Esra is professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I highly recommend her! At thirty years old, I am working on re-building what was once a solid math foundation for a career change. Esra has already honed in on problem areas and come up with a plan to help! I cannot say enough about her, if you are looking for a tutor, she is a great choice!
- Peter E. from Hillsborough, NC
Esra clearly had a great grasp of the GRE material and after a quick diagnostic test focused in on my strengths and weaknesses. She explained concepts well and at a pace that ensured I would really comprehend the material.
- Addison F. from Northampton, MA
We reviewed a variety of different math concepts. Radicals had been difficult for me in the past, but Esra helped clear that up. She is great at explaining things.
- Nick B. from Belchertown, MA
Ezra did a great job of quickly assessing my strengths and weaknesses and gearing our lessons accordingly. It was clear that she had a plan, so our time was used wisely. She's great!
- Nick R. from Amherst, MA
Esra is an excellent tutor who helped me not only prepare for the SAT but also filled in the gaps of my mathematical knowledge. After taking the SAT recently I understood almost all of the questions and was able to execute the solution. She helped me understand the concept, find a solution, take shortcuts and feel more confident in myself. She is very kind and understanding and an excellent tutor.
- Carolyn K. from Amherst, MA
Era helped me remember many mathematical concepts I had forgotten, and taught me new tips and tricks I hadn't known before.
- Kurt S. from Northampton, MA
Esra was great! Extremely patient, understanding, perceptive, and helpful. I had no idea going into the session where I was in terms of math skills and abilities. Esra paid close attention to where I was while simultaneously teaching me things I'm not sure I had ever had explained so clearly before. By the time I left, I felt like my confidence had been boosted and we had a concrete plan in place to get me on track for the GREs. Highly highly highly recommend!
- Jennifer R. from Amherst, MA
Esra arrives well-prepared to instruct and assist my daughter in several different topics including SAT prep and honors chemistry and math. She is patient and thorough and clearly very devoted. She is a gem!
- Laura W. from Amherst, MA
Esra tutored me for the SAT. I was not satisfied with my first SAT score but thankfully, found Esra two weeks before my exam. We met about 4 times a week during that 2 week span. My score the second try drastically improved by 240 points! Most of the improvement was seen in the Critical Reading and Mathematics sections. On the first meet up, Esra ran a diagnostic test for me, to better understand my strengths and weaknesses. She identified the flaws in my Critical Reading section and gave me a new approach to doing such questions. She also taught me the important strategies I needed to know to effectively do the Mathematics section, especially on critical thinking questions. I was very satisfied with the increase in my score in such a short period of time. Esra is an excellent tutor. She is friendly, flexible with time, and provides very detailed explanations to questions I can?t solve. Esra didn?t just improve my SAT scores, she put me within the SAT acceptance range of many of my top choice schools. Thank you, Esra!

Esra is an excellent tutor, and I would recommend her services to anyone preparing for a standardized test or just looking for help with math generally. I am currently working with Esra to prepare for the GRE, and I have found her to be incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She has worked with me on strategies for solving problems more quickly and accurately, and taught me techniques for particular problem types that I would never have figured out on my own. Most importantly, she is kind, patient, easy to work with, and easy to ask questions of. Many math teachers I've had in the past can't resist correcting students, but Esra always allows me to try a problem to the very best of my ability before jumping in. During our last session I made a simple math mistake in the first step of a multi-step problem, and instead of immediately correcting me she stayed quiet for over two minutes until I noticed it myself. I think this composure allows students to develop their own sense of when something is "wrong" and they need to recheck their work--an essential instinct to develop for a long, computer-based exam like the GRE, where small transcription errors will almost inevitably be made. Esra is also very flexible regarding scheduling and appointment location. Overall, Esra's personal qualities and mastery of the subject matter make her an exceptional tutor that I would highly recommend.
- Lydia-Rose K. from Northampton, MA
Esra is patient and incredibly good at determining my specific needs. We work through very specific types of questions and I complete the rest of the problems in each section for homework. This works extremely well for me because I can isolate which topics I need to focus on improving. She teaches me tricks that help me do the problems faster and makes sure I understand the topic before we move on. Scheduling with her is really easy and she's helped me so much already!
- Kate K. from Northampton, MA
Esra has been quite helpful in teaching GMAT quantitative concepts and strategy. She has simplified difficult questions and provided strategies which have already been effective in recent practice. Esra is also patient and flexible on meeting times. High recommendation for Esra, looking forward to continued improvement on quantitative section.
- Terry O. from Northampton, MA
Esra was fantastic at breaking down each component of the quantitative section of the GRE. I began with very weak math skills and she put extra attention on the basics before progressing to more difficult topics. She was extremely patient and provided great practice questions. Very good GRE tutor!
