My favorite things to tutor are the GRE and the SAT, in part because I feel like a high score on these exams should be accessible for anyone if they are given the tools for success.

...for the GRE, I developed my own study system and approach which has been passed on and used by several friends. My teaching style can be best described as knowledge gap identification.
