I also have an arsenal of test-taking tips and tricks that students can use to excel on standardized tests. Test-taking is generally not an inborn talent; it is a skill that must be learned.

I enjoy tutoring students because of the individualized lesson plans that I can design in the one-on-one setting that tutoring provides. I try to incorporate hands-on games and activities into my tutoring whenever appropriate, as I feel it keeps motivation levels high. My lessons are always student-centered and assessment-driven, so that accurate growth can be measured throughout the tutoring process.."
