Experience

Over the last decade, I've instructed students of all ages, from tots to graduates. I've spent most of that time preparing high-schoolers for all subjects of the SAT and ACT. I've succeeded with these students through College Prep. 360, Wheeler Test Prep., Crowning Point, Academic Training Services, InSIGHT Prep., and James Eno Tutorials. I've also taught classes and authored an SAT-specific grammar guide for company use. Parents and students love my work. One mom wrote my boss praising my first session with her son, "he learned more in 90 minutes with her than he did during a whole semester class of SAT prep in Europe. He also likes working with her." In only three weeks of tutoring, I brought another student's SAT score up 120 points. I tailor my lessons to students' capabilities and parents' wishes. I am an excellent standardized-test taker and can easily demonstrate test, study, retention, and anti-anxiety strategies. I influence students to become independent learners and always manage to squeeze in a laugh or two. I have a flexible schedule and always arrive on time. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hobbies

If you want to know more about me, I’m a bonafide Valley Girl from North Hollywood, but rarely make it to the mall. If you don’t spot me in the library reading the classics, or in the kitchen cooking absurd amounts of popcorn, I must be attending a concert of the Japanese hologram Hatsune Miku.
