I have specialized in SAT and ACT verbal test preparation for more than 20 years, working one-on-one with high school students at a wide range of score levels. I am a graduate of New York University and was a National Merit Semifinalist. My tutoring focuses exclusively on the verbal side of these tests: Reading and Writing on the SAT and English and Reading on the ACT.
I begin by identifying each student's particular strengths and weaknesses, then tailor our lessons to the areas where improvement can make the greatest difference. My students come to me with scores ranging from average to excellent, and the approach is different for each one. I teach the underlying reading and grammar skills as well as the strategies needed for the SAT and ACT, using official practice questions and tests to reinforce those skills.
Over the years, I have helped students make significant score gains, as well as helped already high-scoring students work toward the 700s and beyond. I also have extensive experience working with students who have learning differences and know how to adapt my teaching to the individual student. I am particularly good at identifying gaps in fundamental skills that may be costing a student points. My goal is to give every student an individualized approach that builds both skill and confidence.
