I've been tutoring Verbal Test Prep since first taking the tests myself, and have worked at two Tutoring Centers providing intensive instruction to high school juniors and seniors preparing for their SAT/ACTs. Accurate grammar, the ability to read quickly and efficiently, effective essay structuring, and time management strategies are essential to test success, and form the core of my lessons. I've always been a high scorer and excellent test taker, and have refined my abilities through years of teaching, and would love to share my experience with you! I also have extensive experience in tutoring high school and middle school academics, including AP and IB Psychology, and academic writing, and have worked with students across a range of ages and skill levels to achieve their academic goals. I am a TEFL certified English language teacher, with multiple years of experience teaching English overseas, having lived in both Thailand and Laos, and worked with students of all ages and skill levels. My lessons have ranged from language activation and phonics in kindergarten, to grammar instruction with teens, to conversational business English with adults. I attribute my success in school to my love of learning, and I endeavor to share this enthusiasm with those I work with, and strive to make my classrooms fun and engaging environments in the pursuit of that end.
