...testing, particularly the SATs. My tutoring style tends to be a combination of challenging the student to work hard on their skills, along with plenty of encouragement. My goal is to show students how much they can do on their own, even when they feel it is a subject that they are "bad at", by working together to solidify their understanding of the subject and teach them helpful skills and tricks. Outside of tutoring, I...

...with 2 SAT students. My experience with teaching stems from not just an instructor's perspective, but also as a student; attending after school tutoring from the age of 13 to 17 years old. I believe this is one of the reasons I can connect to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach on the part of the student with a reward based approach for...
