"I am a Dartmouth College grad with my MBA from Boston University. In my more than 20 years of professional tutoring, I have helped students achieve outstanding results, beyond what they thought they were capable of. I've helped coach students to 300+ point improvements on the SAT, 5+ point improvements on the ACT and 25%+ improvements on the SSAT and ISEE. I also tutor math and writing for middle school and high school students.
I work with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and academic levels - from the student trying to break 1000 on the SAT to one trying to attain a perfect score, and from a student struggling in math to one trying to score a 5 on the AP exam. Where I differ from other tutors is that I not only work with students on best practices and test strategies, but I also pinpoint areas of strength and weakness specific to each individual child to personalize the tutoring experience. Many tutors focus solely on general strategies and lack the ability to customize tutoring.
In our tutoring sessions, I teach students how to tackle each section of the test and the content they need to know to excel. We also work on timing strategies. I do assign weekly homework so students practice the strategies they learn and feel comfortable using them on the test.
I have worked with hundreds of students over the years, and most see significant score increases (particularly if they complete weekly homework).
Please contact me about your student's goals and how we can work together to achieve them.
