SAT & ACT, University Admissions, Mathematics
A Cambridge Engineering graduate and former Deloitte strategy consultant, Talal spent four years as a Senior Academic Mentor and admissions counsellor, specialising in the SAT, ACT and UK and US university applications.
Talal studied Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Cambridge, graduating with a BA and MEng, and then spent two years in strategy consulting at Deloitte.
Talal worked for over four years as a Senior Academic Mentor and University Admissions Counsellor at ESM Prep in London, focusing on SAT and ACT tutoring, UK and US admissions counselling and high school Maths. Most of his students have been aged 15 to 18, though he has also prepared younger students for school admissions tests such as the SSAT. He works in person and online, with students across the full range of ability, including students with dyslexia.
Talal takes a mentorship approach, building a relationship of trust and respect first. He challenges students to think for themselves while giving enough support for them to feel comfortable, and while he keeps a close eye on results, he encourages students and parents to look at the bigger picture of each student’s development.
