Personal Statement
I will be the teacher you always wanted -- making things simple and easy whenever possible, and telling you exactly what you need to know to succeed. For every problem we solve together, I will show you how to generalize your knowledge so that you can solve ten kinds of problems just like it. I also understand that confidence and positive thinking can be just as important to your success as practice and know-how. This is why I will congratulate you on your successes, provide you with constructive feedback, and give you a workable approach for every kind of problem so you feel prepared and can do your best.
Tutoring Approach/Experience
I believe that there is no limit to the amount of progress you can make. Your goal can be a near-perfect score, a passing grade, or anything in between -- whatever the case may be, in time we'll get there. There is no mystery or magic to becoming a great writer, problem-solver, or insightful reader. All it takes is practice and a good mentor! In particular, it is a common misunderstanding that the SAT and GRE (along with the ACT, GMAT, and LSAT) measure intelligence. In truth, the SAT and GRE are simply very large exams that include question content from more than one subject area. And sure enough, just as with any exam, the people who do well on the SAT and GRE are the people who have studied... and the more you study, the better you'll do! I will help you to maximize the effectiveness of your studying by offering you guidance and by teaching you strategies, tips and tricks that will accelerate your learning and improve your score.
