Nathan: Alexandria SAT Writing and Language tutor
Certified SAT Writing and Language Tutor in Alexandria, VA
I have extensive tutoring experience in the past. Before law school and after college, I worked as an assistant director of a Learning Center, and a big part of my job was working on test prep with students. I enjoyed my work, and I was successful at it because I was able to develop connections with my students and alter my teaching style to meet their needs, while still staying within the structured curriculum.
