Bio

My students get accepted into their dream college. I am a retired University professor with a double Ph. D. Long ago, I realized that the S.A.T. had been designed to give universities a way to EXCLUDE students. They do this through tricks, traps, deceptions, etc. This year, TIME Magazine referred to the S.A.T. as "Part Fraud, Part Hoax." Standard math & English tutoring will do nothing to defend against this required, but devious exam. My methods are unusual, unique, fun, and...

My students get accepted into their dream college. I am a retired University professor with a double Ph. D. Long ago, I realized that the S.A.T. had been designed to give universities a way to EXCLUDE students. They do this through tricks, traps, deceptions, etc. This year, TIME Magazine referred to the S.A.T. as "Part Fraud, Part Hoax." Standard math & English tutoring will do nothing to defend against this required, but devious exam. My methods are unusual, unique, fun, and challenging. I train the student in the STRATEGY of the S.A.T. exam in approximately twelve 2-hour sessions. I cover every aspect of the test...essay, writing, verbal, and math.

My music students [piano, composition, theory, playing "by ear," etc.] receive the benefit of studying with a professional entertainer who has performed with the greatest stars of show business. I look forward to hearing from prospective students, or their parents. There is no obligation whatsoever.
