...a near perfect attendance record, but still struggled with performing well on tests. I thought to myself, why was this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests.

My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I...

...insecurities we all carry as students. To a 6th grader, the thought of algebra was so frightening and intimidating that any reasoning disintegrated.

...number, derived from hasty answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating 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...
