I am a passionate educator with over 20 years in the industry. I received my degree in Political Theory and Philosophy from UCLA along with a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA as well.
Over the last two decades I have had the opportunity to personally tutor hundreds of students, and I also ran a regional tutoring and test prep company for 16 years that I sold a few years ago.
I attended a parenting class once and the lecturer asked why we send our kids to school if we know that teaching to a large group of students at once is not productive. I think the question is more important than the answer as it's pointing out that the idea of one teacher for a varied group of students is hardly an environment that brings out the best in the vast majority of students.
That is why I have always enjoyed working with students 1 on 1, and especially why I work with only a couple students (2-3 maximum) at a time. Because it's not just that 1 on 1 is best for the students, but it's also best for teachers. When we need to spread our focus over a lot of people, it becomes brutally difficult to try to be effective and teach towards each students strengths.
There is a biblical expression "Chanoch l’naar al pi darko", which means to teach children according to their way. The key word is "their" - it is incumbent upon educators to figure out what each child needs and tap into that unique strength when teaching. The more students you have, the harder that is to accomplish.
College admissions is a scary process for parents and students alike, but if you know what you are doing, if you can "crack the code", then the process blossoms and you can use the nuances and confusions to your advantage. Sometimes in life things are not difficult, it's just that "you don't know what you don't know". That is where I come in. I teach you those core lessons and facts that you have not been exposed to regarding college admissions and therefore allow you the best shot possible of reaching your college goals.
