"My ACT/SAT students earned over $1,500,000 in scholarships just in the last school year and they consistently score 26-36 (ACT), 1200+ (SAT) & improve 2 letter grades in class. My 2018-2019 students earned ACT scores from 24 to 36 (a range of 74th to 99th percentile) and SAT scores from 1230 to 1580 (a range of 78th to 99th percentile).

I have expertise in all subjects on the ACT/SAT and teach them to a high standard. I will teach students tips and tricks but mainly focus on the rules and reasons behind each concept. While I always recommend at least 10 lessons, I've had dozens of students make huge gains (3 to 6 ACT points and 100+ SAT points) in 1 to 3 tutoring sessions. I have perfect scores on both the ACT and SAT.
Nearly every one of my students earn A's in their Science (Chemistry, Physics, Biology) and Math (Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Calculus) courses or improves by 1-3 letter grades mid-semester. I also offer help with graduate exams including the GRE and PCAT (my scores are in the 94-99th percentile).
Tutoring Approach:
My tutoring method works by helping students learn content, concepts, problem-solving, and test-taking skills while developing the confidence they need to succeed (confidence is surprisingly important!). I listen carefully to my students and develop strategies that work well for them as individuals. Each student is unique and every session is personalized depending on which area they need help on. My teaching approach is patient, leaving time for learning to unfold. I often use what is called the Socratic Method of teaching, guiding students to the correct answer with a series of questions instead of simply giving them the answer. This method has been extensively researched by learning scientists, many of whom believe it is the best way for students to learn. It leads to higher retention of material and better understanding of concepts. When time is of the essence, I teach students more rapidly by showing how to do the problem or what they did incorrectly, then have them show their unde" less...
