...hasty answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language.

Whether it is when metered poetry suddenly makes sense, or when a jumble of conflicting thoughts turn into the first paragraphs of an admissions essay, helping a student find clarity is exhilarating. When I'm not tutoring or studying, I listen to podcasts (from murderinos to beautiful nerds, I'm with you),...
