As a tutor, Gilli has helped a student raise their SAT Math score from a 680 to a perfect 800. One of Gilli’s recent students whose first language was not English was able to raise their SAT Verbal score from a 640 to 730.

She has also helped multiple score 5’s on the AP US History, AP European History, AP English Language, and AP French exams.

Gilli brings patience, humor, and confidence-boosting energy to all of her tutoring sessions, and she is always thrilled to hear about the success her students have gone on to achieve after working with her.
