After a decade as a verbal tutor, I’ve put in over 10,000 hours to master the art of the written word. My forte is Test Prep (SAT. ACT. GRE. GMT), College Admissions Essays, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language. As a result of my tutoring, my student’s SAT scores have improved by 75-100 points and their ACT scores progressed up 10 points. After teaching nearly 300 scholars, my interactive teaching style has engaged students from diverse backgrounds. Consequently, my students have gained entrance to Ivy League colleges by developing a portfolio of solid test scores, admission essays, and AP courses.
THE RAW FACTS:
I graduated from The American University with a bachelor’s degree in literature. I spent years as a journalist in newsrooms across the country before putting aside that writing career to teach. I also work independently with Success Prep. For a full look at my teaching philosophy, testimonials, and essay examples please go to my website: words inc dot net.
TEACHING METHODS
What is my secret to getting high scores out of my students? I don't simply read rote answers back to students or fill tutor session with test taking. I provide specific cutting edge strategies that address each question category.
I have a positive interactive teaching style which I adapt to each student's learning habits.
· For Visual Learners, I teach using images, and visualization.
· For Verbal Learners, I rely on a key word method.
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS ESSAY
The competition for school admissions is fierce and relies on a rigorous essay portfolio for entrance. I’ve produced over a hundred essays with students that successfully won entrance to Ivy league schools, private colleges, and public universities. In 2023, there’s a new formula for a quality essay, and it can be taught.
