If you are looking for an SAT tutor in Kathmandu, I have not yet found an in-person tutor to list. Below I explain how online tutoring with me works, where students sit the exam in Kathmandu, and where to get college advising.
Online SAT tutoring with me
I tutor the SAT online, one to one, and I work with students in Kathmandu. Before we start, I build a Precision Point Map™ from your son or daughter's score report, so we know exactly which points are missing. In session, I teach only what he or she doesn't know yet, instead of assigning practice problem after practice problem.
- Time difference: Nepal is on UTC+5:45 all year, with no daylight saving. I am in Los Angeles, so Kathmandu is 13 hours 45 minutes ahead of me in winter and 12 hours 45 minutes ahead in summer. A 7:00 am lesson in Kathmandu is 5:15 pm the day before for me in winter, and an 8:00 pm lesson in Kathmandu is 6:15 am for me.
- Device for test day: A student who brings their own device uses a Windows or Mac laptop or an iPad with the Bluebook app, and runs the device check at least 30 days before. A personal Chromebook or a phone will not work. A student without a suitable device can ask the College Board to lend one, also at least 30 days ahead.
- Updates for parents: After every session I email the parents my session notes, so you know what we covered and what the student does next, wherever you are. I also keep you posted on the test registration and test-day details.
Schedule a no-obligation intro call
Pick a time that works for you and I will walk through your score report and what SAT tutoring would look like. Sessions are one-on-one with me, so I can take only 20 new students a month.
Taking the SAT in Kathmandu
The College Board lists 11 SAT test centers in the Kathmandu area for December 5, 2026, 10 for March 6 and May 1, 2027, and 9 for June 5, 2027. Several are in Lalitpur (Patan), the city next to Kathmandu. Nine centers are listed for all four dates. Premier International School is not listed for June 5, and British School Kathmandu is listed only for December 5. Check the date you want before choosing a center.

Registration costs $68 plus a $43 international fee, $111 in total. The College Board's fee page does not list Nepal among the places where test centers add a local fee, but it tells students to contact their test center for the latest information. The College Board fee waiver is aimed at students who live in the US, so a student testing in Kathmandu should expect to pay in full.
Students from Nepal in the US
IIE's Open Doors report counted 24,890 students from Nepal enrolled at US colleges and universities in 2024/25, up from 16,742 the year before and 11,172 in 2020/21. That made Nepal the sixth-largest place of origin for international students in the US, from a country of about 31 million people.
The growth is concentrated at the undergraduate level. Undergraduates rose from 7,461 to 12,642 in a year, about 51 percent of all Nepali students in the US, with another 8,350 in graduate programs and 3,744 on Optional Practical Training. Roughly 80 percent attend public institutions, and the states hosting the most are Texas, Ohio, New York, Missouri and Minnesota. The State Department's figures, as Open Doors reports them, also show F-1 student visas issued to Nepali students more than doubling from 2023 to 2024. These are students already enrolled in the US, not applicants.
