Hobbies
I'm a young - but highly experienced - teacher and tutor with an extensive background in test prep. I'm also the rare cross-trained tutor with equal skills in all sections of the SAT and ACT (math, writing, reading, science). I'm currently a doctoral candidate as well as a certified teacher in the state of Florida. I have a reputation for being an engaging and fun tutor, as well as being efficient - meaning that I work to pack a lot of information and strategies into each session. I know how to use a single sample problem to illustrate many skills. I have worked with a wide range of students - from high performing to struggling - and will develop a strategy that fits each individual. I get started from the first session by diving into *actual* test questions and work from there. I distrust and do not like to incorporate most of the third party test prep books out there. Note on rates: may be negotiable depending on the student and subject area - so please reach out to me even if you think my hourly rate is high. I will work with you! However, I also assure you that my price reflects my experience.
