I'm passionate about language...

...with me to tutoring. My exposure to the SAT began when I got the highest SAT score in my school district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and then into academic tutoring in many subject areas. I was tutoring celebrity kids in Malibu mostly at that time. Since then, I've tutored...

I am most knowledgable in tutoring English Language Arts and prefer elementary to high school grades and subjects. From my experiences,...

...a tutor. Beyond subject matter content, teaching is always about the self-esteem of the student. Learning is a lifelong process. Each teaching situation is an opportunity to influence positively how a student sees him or herself as a learner. Learning takes place over the course of a school year, semester, quarter, week, or in a five minute time frame (such as with a substitute teacher). The math problem or the causes of the American Revolution...

...help fine-tune my tutoring skills; I work with a diverse population of students, on a wide variety of writing-based projects.

I happily tutor in all k-12 subjects, but tutoring in any area of English is near and dear to my heart. I love helping students experience stories and learn how to use their own words to tell their own stories. I truly believe that stories make us better people, and...

...comfortable learning with a particular person. This is also important for the teacher so they begin to understand how the student thinks, how the student learns and what obstacles to learning the student may or may not possess. My approach is one of rapport, enthusiasm for learning, enthusiasm for the subject matter and one where I guide the student in the right direction, rather than giving them all the answers. Together we'll tackle whatever problems or...

I tutor in a variety of subjects but I am most passionate about Algebra, the SAT Grammar section, and the SAT Math Section.

This has helped many of my students raise their grades and confidence...

...show you how it is a trick question, and teach you how to spot similar tricks in the future. Just like counting to 100 (or even 1,000,000,000) is no longer scary once you learn how the numbers are combined, so too the placement exams will lose their bite once you learn how they are constructed and how the test-makers think. The joy of using a tutor, like myself, is that I can not only show...

I first fell in love with these subjects for those reasons. I also enjoy tutoring social studies and basic math through middle school as well. On my own time, I explore a wide range of hobbies: hiking & backpacking, cooking, writing, reading, and bicycling to name a few....
