Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile.

I specialize in helping motivated students prepare for high-stakes exams, including the SAT, PSAT, and Advanced Placement tests. My approach emphasizes clarity, structure, and measurable growth.

I am a certified teacher in English, math, and social studies with over thirty years of experience. I also serve as an AP Reader, scoring essays for Advanced Placement exams, which allows me to teach students exactly how points are earned using official rubrics.

Much of my work focuses on advanced students preparing for competitive outcomes. I have coached multiple students to National Merit recognition and have helped more than one thousand earn college credit through AP exams.

Effective tutoring is personal and evidence-based. I adapt instruction to each student, monitor progress closely, and focus on strategies that transfer beyond a single test or course.

If you are seeking thoughtful, structured preparation with an experienced educator, I would be glad to work with you.

Focused and Strategic APUSH Prep in Just Four Weeks

We recently switched from another tutor to Larry in preparation for the upcoming AP US history test in a month. The previous tutor focused on reviewing the material my daughter had already covered in school. But we were looking for a more targeted and efficient approach to the APUSH curriculum. My daughter felt she was falling behind with the previous tutor's pace. With only 4 weeks left, Larry quicly identified the key areas she should focus on and provided strategies for tackling multiple-choice questions efficiently. I would highly recommed Larry to anyone looking for a focused and result-driven approach to USPUSH prep.

Encouraging and Results-Driven Tutor

He has taught me effective strategies for approaching SAT reading passages, including how to quickly find key information, identify main ideas, and work through grammar structures. He explains concepts in a way that's easy to understand and gives plenty of practice examples to reinforce the skills. He is patient, encouraging, and always makes sure I fully understand before moving on. I can always ask a question when I have a doubt, and he will be sure to clearly explain it every time. Due to Larry's tutoring, I have seen a big improvement in my SAT reading scores and feel much more confident going into the test.

Very knowledgeable and caring SAT tutor

The tutoring was clear, and very helpful. The strategies and explanations Larry give to my daughter made the SAT feel much more manageable, and I feel my kid will be more confident going into the test. Highly recommend!

Great teacher

Had a session with Mr. H for my daughter. He explained myself and my daughter the strategy he’d be using to prep her for the PSAT and SAT. My daughter liked his teaching style as well. Thank you!
