Bob: New Haven CogAT test prep instructor
I love teaching and it's been a passion of mine that has brought me great fulfillment over the years. From teaching students at all levels for over 20 years to supporting my three children through high school and college studies, I've brought confidence and knowledge to those I've tutored. The change I see in my students from those who struggle to those who succeed is rewarding both personally and professionally. ... To explain the topic in simplest terms and to ensure the student understands the steps necessary to arrive at the solution. I don't believe in solving just one problem and having a student parrot back the steps I did to solve that problem. I like to teach the student to think and to solve similar problems, not just the one I demonstrated.
