"I have tutored hundreds of students, individually and in classroom settings, in the entire range of subjects assessed by standardized exams. My areas of expertise include math, reading comprehension, writing, and analytical ability. I have helped students compose college and graduate school application essays and personal statements. My tutoring experience began in my undergraduate years, when I was employed by the Columbia University Tutoring Service. Since then, I have helped students prepare for the SSAT, ISEE, PSAT (my very first pupil improved his scores by 130 points), SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT. My personal best scores are 800 Verbal, 800 Math, and 760 Analytical Ability on the GRE. I have trained students of all ages and backgrounds, from high-school and college students, to college graduates, and from adult learners to working professionals. I have taught for test-prep companies as well as the University of Massachusetts, and have also taught for several adult and community education centers. I routinely tutor my children in test-taking and continue to enjoy sharing my expertise in standardized tests. I have tutored students in high school math and English, and have developed concrete and practical strategies for avoiding the myriad pitfalls of standardized tests. I have extensive experience and demonstrated skills in college counseling, Algebra 1 and 2, essay-writing, and a wide variety of academic subject areas, in addition to legal and paralegal subjects." less...
