I like to try to strike a good balance between learning, working, and enjoying time by myself,...

...Baccalaureate (IB) classes, and am familiar with the latest formats, question varieties, and scoring guidelines of these standardized tests, along with the SAT.

I believe that once a student understands something at the conceptual level,...

I hope to get students to a point where they are self-sustaining.

When it comes to SAT prep, I believe that understanding the material is always more important than simply understanding the test. I teach specific testing...
