I have also taught high school students preparing for the Georgia High School Graduation Test and coordinated the student workers in the Office of Admission at Sarah Lawrence College.

...but extremely effective, studying methods to begin mastery of any subject area. I tutor SAT/GRE test prep, as well as writing in general, biology, and French.

...of all ages ranging from second grade to well into college.

I think education is the most important thing; it really...

I have seen students who could barely comprehend the meaning of simple poems grow to love the work of Shelly, Dickinson, and Whitman.

I try to give my students the foundation they need to understand concepts in the LSAT and SAT with a few examples, and then have them apply that foundation to the same concepts in later practice questions.
