...standardized test preparation and writing. I believe that great test takers are made, not born. Anyone can improve your SAT or LSAT score with the right practice and guidance.

...question. That way, you're not tripped up during exam time when wording or variables change. More than this, I try to keep the experience fun, laid back and free of frustration. Every student has their own approach to learning, but I'll work at your pace and your style to get you on track.... I try to help my students fully engage with the material. In my view, rote memorization is basically like carrying a heavy weight and dumping it as soon as you don't need it anymore.

...or a science writer, perhaps both. I used to work in a children's museum in Maine as well for two years, so I love working with kids. I love reading, anything outdoors--hiking biking, skiing, backpacking. I love traveling, and am interested in languages. I've studied Spanish for five years and started studying Russian. I used...

...through dialogue and questions, to ensure that they are truly comprehending and not simply repeating what I have said, and also so that they develop skills for learning new material and taking tests in general.
