Award-Winning SAT Subject Test in Spanish with Listening Tutors

...For that reason, I like tutoring foreign languages, since a foreign language is a process that doubles one's ability to communicate with others without the need for a translator or dictionary. However, I'd say test prep is my favorite subject to tutor, as the progress has tangible results: a few points more on a standardized test that translates into more scholarships and better chances for admission into more schools. Tutoring for me is a transfer...

...test-taking skills and strategies necessary for school success. I teach with the tenets of the Common Core State Standards in mind. As such, I do not aim to teach "tricks" for getting the right answer. Rather, I aim to wholly ingrain the skills, strategies, and overall thinking needed to fully understand how and why we can come to certain answers. My goal is not to help students to merely get a good grade on the...

...by native speakers of the target language. In all English and History-related subjects, I use my knowledge and deep love for world history and literature to encourage focused research. I couple this with contextual information. Again, if a student can learn the greater importance of an event or of an author's main argument and styles, they learn more than basic information to repeat in a test: they begin to master the information and better savor...

I believe that learning material at your own pace skimming over the information you know well and spending more time on what you find difficult is crucial. I also think that truly understanding the material on a deeper level is more important and beneficial than memorizing shortcuts to get...

...parallels to the content being studied. For example, I would compare a historical event to an ongoing, contemporary controversy. Or I would encourage students to think of historical figures as actual characters with goals and motivations instead of just a name on a page. Likewise, when tutoring vocabulary, I would encourage students to make an educated guess about a word's meaning by thinking of other words with similar roots. Through it all, students need to...
