Eric
SAT/ACT Prep Specialist
Standardized tests like the SAT and ACT have three components which must be mastered. The first is content knowledge. I am intimately familiar with every concept that appears on both tests, and can explain each of them in a variety of ways to help any student, regardless of aptitude or background. The second is test structure. Through close analysis of practice questions, my students discover the unwritten rules that govern these tests, empowering them to confidently choose the correct answe... Read more

Timothy
Combining a Passion for Teaching with Graduate Level Experience
I believe any student can succeed at learning a tricky subject given the right tutor. I look at tutoring each student as a unique situation. Every student understands things in their own ways, and their holes in understanding are unique to them. When I'm tutoring, I try to find the root of what's holding a student back and come up with a solution that works for them specifically. I have years of teaching experience from my time as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Chicago. There I... Read more
