SAT & ACT, US College Applications, History, Humanities
Educated in both the British and American systems and a High Honours graduate of the University of Texas, David specialises in preparing international students for the SAT, ACT and US university entry.
David was born and raised in the UK and won an academic scholarship to Sherborne School at 13. When his family moved to the United States at 16, he completed high school near Houston, achieving excellent AP and SAT results and a place on the prestigious Plan II Honors programme at the University of Texas at Austin. He graduated a year early with High Honours, a second major in History and a dissertation awarded special honours, and went on to a Master’s in War Studies at King’s College London.
David began tutoring peers across many subjects at the University of Texas, then spent six months preparing students for the SAT in Houston. He taught Texas History and Social Studies at advanced level in the American public school system for a year. Back in the UK, he has specialised in preparing international students for the SAT and ACT, developing his own curriculum covering the topics that often trip up students who have not been through the American system.
David starts with a short diagnostic test to find a student’s weakest areas quickly, then works on them systematically. Sessions combine learning key concepts, applying them to rigorous timed questions and practising exam technique, with the aim of building ability and confidence together in a supportive, professional working relationship.
