I enjoy tutoring one-on-one since I have found that engaging a student directly in the learning process helps him/her to understand (and remember) the topic more fully, rather than letting them get by on just rote memorization that is forgotten once the test is over. One of my favorite things to tutor is for the verbal part of the SAT and SSAT. I try to relieve the...
