Great tutor! We covered a lot of material in a shorter amount of time
I did a practice test beforehand and then we went over the answers as well as the why behind why each one was wrong or right. We also went into depth about time management skills as well as how the different sections were organized on the SAT. In terms of specific skills, I know we did some review on a few math concepts like exponential functions/quadratic functions. I liked that we used examples in order to better understand the mathematical concepts

Expert at translating problem solving strategies into suitable language for his students
Shell has been working with my daughter for a few weeks and I have been very impresses. Approachable and good style, very smart, and most critically - he translates the math strategy in his brain into something my teen understands and grabs hold of.
