...for standardized exams, including the AP exams and the ACT. I think every individual learns differently, so my biggest goal is to individualize every session to the best approach for each student. Anyone I tutor, I am fully invested in their progress and growth, so I care that all the material learned really clicks, makes sense, and is applicable. In addition to standardized exams, I also can help with college admissions, including editing essays.

For me, the sentence "I don't understand this," is incomplete...
