I am an experienced tutor certified in over 50 subjects. I'm a college graduate of Tufts University, Medford, MA and have passed my CBEST and worked with children for the past 15 years. I have taught in all environments in ratios of 1:1 to 8:1. For example, I have home-schooled a 12-year old, tutored part-time at Huntington Learning Center and for the past two summers, I have taught SAT Math and Geometry in a classroom environment (Top Learning Center and Perfect Score Academy). I actually just took an SAT where I got a perfect 800 in math and 760 in verbal.

I can tutor in such subjects as all types of standardized tests (ACT/SAT/GRE), math (algebra/geometry), reading, writing, and biology. In addition to traditional subjects, I can also teach your child to read, refine their study skills or even improve their athletic ability.

I have a car, a clean driving record and passed a recent background check.

How can I help your student?

SAT Math

Of all the subjects I tutor, SAT math is my specialty. I have helped almost 100 students over the years raise their score, sometimes by 100s of points. Having gotten perfect scores of 800 on practice tests myself I can transfer that know-how to your child and uncover what words or concepts they don't understand which would block them from full certainty. I greatly enjoy seeing my students discover the solution for themselves rather than spoon-feeding them. I look forward to helping your student.

Guitar

I have played guitar for the past 10 years.

Study Skills

I am a graduate of the Student Hat course. This intensive course is a study of study. It showed how to study and what the 3 barriers are to learning. After taking this course, my IQ jumped dramatically, as did my verbal skills and reading comprehension. I have applied this to students whose skills I have improved over the past several years.

Voice (Music)

I have been singing professionally for the past eight years and tour nationally. I can both teach sight reading of music and teach it by ear. I teach warm up and cool down exercises as well.

Basketball

I have played since I was 10 and in various leagues through high school and college. I can teach shoot, pass, dribble and through various games. I know the professional game well if you are looking for specific plays too.

Hebrew

I have had experience with Hebrew for the past 25 years. I graduated from Temple Israel knowing how to read, write, translate in both script and print versions. When I went on to Tufts University, I took three semesters of Hebrew and became very proficient, excelling in all courses.

Business

I am a self-starter business man. I have completed the Sports, Entertainment and Events Marketing Seminar at NYU. By also completing a course called "Targets and Goals," I am able to help others decipher their business conditions and improve their companies. I have been with a New York non-profit for 10 years, and in the past decades, my department has expanded exponentially.

Public Speaking

I have ten years experience of public speaking from speaking in classrooms to auditoriums. I have addressed crowds on leadership, networking and business planning. I have also coached my students so they can get a better handle on how they communicate. My degrees are from Tufts University and NYU and I am confident in showing a person how to be natural yet commanding in front of an audience.

Career Development

I have been a human resources consultant for seven years having reviewed resumes and cover letters from tens of thousands of applicants. I know what grabs an employer's attention and what doesn't. I have also been sculpting cover letters and resumes myself for the past ten years and can customize them based on the job to which you're applying.

College Counseling

I have experience writing college essays, completing college applications and advising students on what tests are recommended for what schools. I have experience in California submitting to state schools, the UC system and the common app. I have also been an alumni interviewer for my college for the past ten years and know what schools are looking for and am great at coaching interviews.

CBEST

I have passed and tutored the cbest test. I go over the Reading section and how it assesses your ability to comprehend information presented in written passages, tables, and graphs. I teach the two major skill areas: critical analysis and evaluation, and comprehension and research skills. I am very strong on the Mathematics section and help students understand the problems and how most of the questions are presented as word problems. I am strong on writing as well and illustrate how one topic... Read More

ISEE

I have already tutored all sections of this in the past via Wyzant and did a great job. I am perfect at quantitative reasoning and help uncover confusions in verbal, reading comprehension and have even offered guidance on the essay. This applies to Lower, Middle and Upper versions.

Macintosh

I have and have used a MAC everyday for the past 5 years. I can operate a MAC, iPod and iPad. I am familiar with how to update hardware, software and get the best programs. I can also show someone how to get comfortable with any MAC/Apple product.

Marketing

I have been involved in Marketing since 1997 when working in non-profit for the Boomer Esiason Foundation. I have also helped in marketing with the National Hockey League and the FleetCenter (now TD Bank North Garden) in Boston. I have a certificate degree from NYU in Sports, Entertainment and Events Marketing.

Microsoft Outlook

I have used Outlook for the past 10 years. I know how to make folders, sort mail and prioritize messages. I can navigate an address book and add/delete contacts. The program is core to what I use email for.

Microsoft Windows

I have used Windows for the last 15 years. I can show people how to run their computer faster, add/delete programs and navigate overall. This also translates into how to use Microsoft Office. I am comfortable with Windows 95 through 2010.

Film

I have worked in film for the past ten years, mostly as an actor. I have starred in student films and webisodes, been a stand-in and background and photo double in major motion pictures and tv and have worked as a PA and edited film as well. I have also performed in live theater and comedy over the past 10 years. I'm a professional that can help you with the performance or promotion side.
