...school math and SAT test prep since 2002 and GRE prep since 2008. When I am working with a student, I find it is best to first determine what areas they struggle with. Do they need help with basic concepts? Do they need help, in general, with test-taking? Once I am clear on what areas we need to focus on, we can really start to make progress. I feel that different approaches work with different...

...hate writing. Sometimes this is because they see themselves as "math thinkers" and sometimes it's because they've suffered through too many writing assignments without enough guidance. I believe that any student can learn how to write a clear, well-organized, and effective essay if they know the formula and have enough practice with the writing process (including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and editing).

To give my brain a break, I...
