I get the best results when I'm working with the right students.
Part of being a good teacher is knowing when and when not to engage a student in the first place. Before you begin working with me, you should understand how I work and who I prefer to work with. If, after reading this description, you don't feel that you or your child is the right match, I'll be happy to recommend other tutors and tutoring programs who might better suit you.
1. I do not do "boot-camp" or "crash-course" tutoring. The SAT is a test that takes time to master. While there are multiple "quick-fix" strategies and tactics that can improve a student's score, real results come from patient, long-term prep. I prefer to develop a real relationship with my students, to know their strengths and weaknesses, and to develop enough familiarity with them to teach as effectively as possible.
2. I prefer students who can set a regular schedule, and who prioritize their SAT prep. My schedule is nearly always booked throughout the year, and consistency is extremely important to me. I prefer to work with students who can set routine, regular schedules on the same day(s) and time(s) each week. Constant rescheduling due to extracurricular activities is detrimental to the test-prep process, and to my own ability to schedule properly. Please only get in touch if you feel that you can set aside at least 2 hours per week, on the same day and time each week, to devote exclusively to test prep.
3. While I have tutored many students with learning disabilities, I am not a licensed expert in this field. I've taught students with severe ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning impediments, and I'm happy to do so, but only with the understanding that I am an expert in test prep, and not in formal education and disabilities management. If there are learning impediments that you feel will severely limit your child's ability to attend to my lessons, I firmly believe that the first step is to meet with someone licensed in this field.
If you feel that you're able to commit the proper time and attention to your SAT prep, I'm happy to work with you!
