Vincent: SAT Subject Test in Literature test prep instructor
I graduated this past spring from Yale University with a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature (with a nonfiction writing concentration thesis on architecture and memory). I bring five years of tutoring experience as a Yale Writing Partner, assisting college students with their academic papers, grad school applications, and anything else that needs to be written clearly and effectively. I live in Brooklyn and work as a museum educator at The Frick Collection.... The first session is all about meeting the student -- learning what motivates him or her, and beginning to determine how he or she works best. We work through a variety of preliminary exercises in the subject, each one catered to a different learning style. The emphasis during this first, crucial meeting is to establish trust and cooperation with the student -- and to make the work enjoyable.

...students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to share with others what I have gained.
