Aidan
Tutoring in all academic subjects; expert on the SAT
- $50 / h
- 76 ratings
- Tacoma , Washington ( 98409 )
- 7 miles
I have been tutoring students for many years in many subjects, since I have a very broad academic and professional background. I am especially good at helping students prepare for the PSAT and the SAT. My own score on the old SAT was 1580; that is, I missed only one question. Sometimes students think the SAT is a comprehensive exam on everything they have learned in high school. No, it is not. They are tested on advanced vocabulary and the ability to solve math puzzles at high speed, as wel... Read more

This is a form of immersion for educational purposes, although not a substitute ... Read more
