...meaning of "prestidigitation" might elude you some day, but if you ran across this word on the SAT or the GRE, you likely had to learn how to infer tone and meaning using limited information.

Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects...

The greatest lesson I've learned as a tutor is to first step back and let a student tell me their goals, show me how they take in information, and point me in the direction of the challenging areas. With this information, I can help students build their own learning and testing strategy to accomplish their goals.... There is always more than one way to learn a concept or approach a problem; it's just a matter of figuring out what works for you.
