I have taught Psychology and Humanities at the college level and History and English at the high school level.
I have wide experience in tutoring as well. I have successfully tutored students who were preparing to take the SAT and the GRE exams. Our preparation for these exams consisted of both the verbal and mathematical components. I have also tutored students for the GED exam, and over 90% of them went on to receive their GED’s.
