Ciro Formisano

Hello, I’m Ciro — a test prep tutor with over 10 years of international teaching experience. I specialize in preparing students for standardized exams like the SAT, GMAT, IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC. My lessons are structured, personalized, and focused on helping you reach your academic or professional goals with confidence and clarity.

Every student is different, so I begin each journey with a short diagnostic to understand your current level, strengths, and target score. From there, I design a customized learning plan that includes real exam materials, time-management strategies, targeted practice, and progress-tracking tools to measure improvements over time.

My classes are interactive and focused on active learning. We work through actual test questions, analyze mistakes together, and develop step-by-step approaches to tackling tricky problems. Whether it’s mastering grammar rules for SAT Writing, handling TOEFL speaking tasks, or building endurance for the GMAT quant section, I ensure each session is practical, engaging, and strategic.

I also focus on building the mindset needed to succeed under pressure. Many students struggle with test anxiety or lack of focus—I address that by incorporating concentration techniques, pacing strategies, and motivational support into the learning process, creating a more confident and prepared test taker.

With a Master’s degree in International Management and a solid background in Economics, I bring both academic depth and real-world understanding to my sessions, helping students at all levels succeed.

If you’re looking for a tutor who brings clarity, strategy, and long-term support, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
