I have worked with over 400 students in preparation for the SAT and/or ACT, and have made progress with students who were struggling to score above 600 in Verbal and Math. It doesn't take me long to make them feel more confident and raise their scores. My interactive approach gives students the test practice they need to do well on the SAT and ACT. Success on standardized tests comes when students get used to answering the different types of test questions by completing practice tests with an experienced tutor who can explain how to read passages and narrow down answer choices.

GRE

I've been tutoring the GRE for three years. If you have not taken math since high school and need a review of algebra and geometry, I'm a good tutor for you. Do you find it difficult to select the vocabulary word(s) that belong in the blanks in the text completions? Do you get confused when trying to select the multiple choice answers for the reading comprehension passages? I'll work with you on breaking down sentence structure and reading for context. I'll give you the practice you need to improve your GRE scores.

Very patient and knowledgeable tutor

Anne taught me a variety of different skills needed to take the GRE. We went over verbal and quantitative strategies. For example, for verbal we focused on word structures and breaking down sentences to understand the meaning of them. She gave me a handful of vocabulary words that were going to be on the GRE. She is very knowledgeable in quantitative. We went over lots of equations, special right triangles, slope of the line, circumference, and many many other tools needed to succeed on the test. She helped me remember a lot of math concepts I forgot about since highschool. Anne was always very flexible with the schedule and was available when I needed her. She was always on time for online meetings, patient and encouraging! Highly recommend :)

Writing skills to help improve my job. I write resolutions and she took the time to go over some suggestions as we went through them. I found it quite helpful and will hopefully meet with her again.

My experience with Anne

Anne has been helping my daughter prepare for the reading and writing sections of the SAT. During the first couple of sessions, she assessed my daughter's knowledge base and skill level and then tailored a plan to help her. She is very kind and extremely patient and encouraging and goes over every problem and concept thoroughly until understood. For practice tests, she always asks my daughter why she selected this particular option rather than the other 3 and she provides the proper rationale for why the key is the only correct option. I don't know what the result of the next exam will be, but I feel my daughter has learned quite a bit about how to tackle the SAT pitfalls and she now feels much more confident about the test.
