Experience
See my reviews here http://lexingtonma.universitytutor.com/tutors/138324 while I am opening my Hingham location! With almost 10,000 hours of tutoring, I ensure that I connect with students at their level to help them to reach their goals, whether it be in test prep or admissions coaching. My successes are numerous, with many students attaining a perfect score on their exams, including 6 in the past 2 years! We review the most often tested concepts in detail and practice them until you're confident that you "get them". We cover test taking strategies and develop your OWN strategies that highlight your strengths and minimize your weaknesses. All of this is done to reduce your anxiety. By building your skills in each area of the tests, we build confidence and maximize your score...all while using official test preparation material College Board, ACT, ETS, etc. I demonstrate how the tests work, help you isolate and improve your weaknesses, and develop a program to raise your baseline score. You will learn the format and scoring of the exam and how you can use these to your advantage, as well as the best test-taking strategies and tactics for each section of the exam. In fact, I have taken the SAT and ACT over the past few years so that I know the patterns and that the strategies work! I have also been an SAT Essay Reader and will provide you with a killer essay template designed to get you a double-digit essay score. Currently, all of my students tutor online which is an efficient and effective way to tutor for standardized tests. I DO tutor in person, however, at a slightly higher rate to allow for travel, if necessary. We can meet in a mutually convenient place (library, coffee shop, community room, etc) or my home. Want to save money on test prep? Get together with up to 3 friends. By forming a small group, you can encourage each other, help each other, and help you each to reach your peak. Small group tutoring can provide MOST of the benefits of individual tutoring, but at a discounted price. I left corporate America to tutor. Corporate is more lucrative in dollars, but helping students enter the schools of their choice is more lucrative in spirit!
