Hi, I'm Wesley! 

I am the founder and president of Shirola Tutoring & Test Prep, a one-stop shop for all of your academic needs. We offer test prep (ACT, SAT, AP, IB, and GRE), general academic and school tutoring in a wide array of subjects, essay editing, and college admissions essay editing.

I earned my Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Psychology, Data Science, and Science in Human Culture from Northwestern University in 2021, where I graduated in the top of my class. Since then, I have studied in Europe at the Higher School of Economics and have also completed postgraduate research at Johns Hopkins University. 

In high school, I graduated in the top of my class and as an International Baccalaureate Diploma Scholar. I now bring my unique skill set to my sessions with my students.

While studying for my classes and preparing myself for the ACT, SAT, AP Exams, and IB Exams as a student in high school, I found it incredibly difficult to find professional yet relatively inexpensive private tutoring. With the average professional tutoring service charging upwards of $200 an hour many students cannot get the help they need. I seek to provide affordable, yet expert and professional personalized tutoring for my students.

Test-prep and tutoring can dramatically increase a student's scores and grades. My goal is to make that happen for as many students as possible at a cost that is reasonable for most families. I aced many of these exams as a high school student and know many of the inside tricks of the exams, so I have the skills necessary for increasing students' scores that most other professional tutors lack. They simply don't have the experience taking the exams that I have had as a recent high school graduate. I take these exams regularly to ensure that I am always staying up to date with their content and structure.

I have nearly a decade's worth of one-on-one test-prep, academic tutoring, and essay-editing experience. I've worked with students of all socioeconomic backgrounds and ranging in age from middle school to adults who've made the commitment to go back to school. I work with my students one-on-one in order to provide a tutoring experience that is highly personalized and crafted to fit each student's unique individual needs, while providing informative and constructive guidance and advice. I strongly believe that each student has the ability to acquire the skills that are necessary to score and perform to their highest potential, and it is my honor to help them do so.

I am extremely qualified to prepare students for the ACT & SAT, AP & IB Exams, tutor them in a wide array of subjects, and provide informative and constructive guidance and advice. A few of my credentials and qualifications are listed below:

  • Scored a 36 (perfect score) on the ACT
  • Scored in the 99th Percentile on the PSAT and the SAT and was a National Merit Semifinalist
  • Scored 5s (perfect scores) on most AP Exams
  • Scored in the highest percentiles on the GRE and the LSAT
  • IB Diploma Scholar
  • Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, Data Science, and Science in Human Culture
  • Four years of journalism and copy-editing experience
