Welcome! I’m Damian. Last summer I self-studied a 1540 SAT (790 Math, 750 RW) as a non-native English speaker, scoring in the top 1% of test takers in the US. Now, I bring my experience to systematically improve your score.

About me
As a National Chess Master and Varsity Swimmer, I developed mental and physical endurance required for peak performance under pressure. I use and refine these systems daily: from 7 AP/IB class courseload, to Presidency of the National English Honor Society, to coordinating humanitarian aid internationally, I push my community and myself to leave the greatest impact possible.Off the clock, I am half-cowboy. Seriously, I rock full-on Wrangler-jeans Lakota-fringe thick-belt fit! My 10 years on a farm mean weekend hikes and constantly open windows: fresh air makes minds sharper.

My approach
Foundation First:
I build strong thinking from the basics – no bandaids, no shortcuts. Once the foundation solidifies, improvement is linear.
System > intuition:
Every question has a system – formula, clear steps, definite answer. No guessing. This approach makes improvement consistent and measurable.
Peak Performance:
Drawing from 10+ years of professional chess and swimming, I maximize peak performance on the test day.
