I know the tests. I'm experienced. I am good with kids...that's it! I started out as a mediocre Test-taker (in the 1980s) and then learned (and practiced) some tricks. By the 1990s when I took the GRE, I became very interested in the test taking procedures that do and do not work.
I am a K-12 English Language and Literature credentialed specialty teacher certified by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing in Sacramento! I have been helping students with their writing--from college entrance essays to school journalism and everything in between--for 33 years.
