Bio

Students will have access to all of my AP exam prep resources (over 1000 practice MCQs, videos with each topic, unit tests, College Board practice exams.) It will assist them outside of our sessions to complement the tutoring (especially the self-study students). I know the College Board well and understand what it takes to score a 5.

Students will have access to all of my AP exam prep resources (over 1000 practice MCQs, videos with each topic, unit tests, College Board practice exams.) It will assist them outside of our sessions to complement the tutoring (especially the self-study students). I know the College Board well and understand what it takes to score a 5. I have 13 years experience teaching AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics in high school. I've also taught Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Personal Finance in high school. I believe in a positive approach to helping students and building their confidence. I have a deep passion for teaching economics and helping kids learn!!!

I began my career in finance, but switched careers when I realized how much I enjoyed teaching kids after agreeing to volunteer with my sister who is also a teacher. What makes this job fascinating, is that I visit my high school 5 days a week and not once do I feel as if I'm "going to work." Teaching has clearly been my calling in life, but I attempt to do more than just teach a subject. I encourage kids and bring as much positivity as I can. As a teacher, it's vital to plant seeds of positivity in the lives of our young ones. Even from my coaching years, I've learned that students respond much better to positive reinforcement.

I have experience teaching kids from diverse backgrounds with an array of learning styles and personalities. My school is as culturally diverse as any school in this state. I bring a positive approach to teaching and encourage students to do their best. We learn together and building trust allows for the learning to grow.

I worked for 6 years in financial services and implemented a personal finance course at my high school that transformed from 22 kids to 143 kids in 5 years. I believe in practical application when teaching as kids learn best when they can related to the material.

I'm a positive person who will encourage students and do everything I can to help them. We are a team!

Excellent!

Had Steven on my list of tutors for AP Econ but had tried another first. Should have picked him first. Daughter went up to an A in Econ immediately after a few sessions. She was very sensitive to how tutors speak to her as she didn’t want to feel stupid since she just may need a slightly different explanation of some of the concepts she was struggling with. Steven got her ready and much more confident for both exams and while we don’t know the score yet he was truly an asset to her motivation and preparation! Start with Steven! Daughter rated him a 5! Both exams she felt went well for her! Thank you, thank you Steven!!!

“Best tutor I’ve ever had”

My son has had a variety of tutors over the years but says Steven is the “best tutor” he’s ever had. He’s clear, makes the content interesting, is easy to talk to, engaging. And my son’s grades show Steven is making a huge difference!

Best AP Economics Tutor

Steven truly is an amazing AP Economics tutor. He has taught AP Economics for many years so he is incredibly knowledgeable about what AP Econ students need to know. Not only does he know all of the material like the back of his hand, but he is also able to explain it so well with great examples that make it easy for a student to understand. Furthermore, he is so kind and funny that it makes the experience a very positive one. He really cares and wants to make sure the student understands everthing. He offers great tips and tricks and very useful resources. He is also very accomodating in scheduling and meeting the student's needs. My daughter has met with Steven 3 times in preparation for an AP microeconomics midterm and will hopefully continue to work with him in the future. Wish we had found him sooner!

Tailored lessons that lead to great results!

My daughter had been getting a low B in AP Micro, but after just two sessions with Steven, she earned an A- on her final exam. I am a teacher and know that students usually score lower on large cumulative assessments than they do on unit tests, which makes this grade improvement that much more impressive! I'd recommend meeting with Steven for the 15 minute complimentary consultation before your first session. We did this so he knew what our expectations were, and then he had lots of personalized material ready to go as soon as the first session started. I can't thank him enough for his excellent help!
