I have also effectively assisted students prepare for standardized exams,...

What is that end? The formation of thoughtful fellow humans. Thoughtful (thought full!) humans bring inquisition to everything. That means they think about math but also sports and love and history and progress. I hope to help not only with specific learning goals but also to...
