I've taught SAT and ACT prep for over 12 years now with strong record of improving SAT scores by as much as 300 points. It isn't just the knowledge and expertise as a math teacher that helps me be successful. It's also knowing and understanding the hearts of the learner who is preparing for this test and preparing for life after college. I know how to get the learner to appreciate the beauty in how to solve the SAT math problems quickly and elegantly.
I've been certified in the public schools for teaching math in middle and high schools. I received additional certified training for gifted and talented learners. I taught math for sixteen years and I've been a personal SAT tutor for seven years. My students have typically raised their scores between 100 and 300 points. As a chemical engineer and project management professional in the world of business consulting and information technology consulting, I've completed over five levels of college calculus and applied mathematics and used these math and computing skills throughout my career.
The students I have taught had varying learning abilities that ranged from one with pronounced learning disabilities to gifted and talented. When it came to PSAT's and SAT's, each of them with impressive improvements in their scores.
It can be done! Just watch how your learner improves!Reviews
