Is your child preparing for the gifted and talented tests such as CogAT, WISC, NNAT, or OLSAT? My specialized tutoring services are designed to help your child excel and reach their full potential.

                                             Why Choose Me as Your Child's Tutor?

With 5 years of experience teaching the CogAT, NNAT, OLSAT and WISC exams, I've developed targeted strategies to tackle each type of problem. My systematic approach breaks down complex questions step-by-step, helping students understand and solve problems efficiently. Beyond mastering CogAT-specific techniques, these strategies build essential test-taking skills that benefit students on any multiple-choice exam. My goal is not only to teach effective methods but also to increase your child’s confidence, setting them up for success on test day and beyond.

                                                  Why Take Tutoring Sessions?

Enrolling your child in tutoring sessions is a great way to boost their skills and confidence. Tutoring offers targeted support by focusing on your child’s unique strengths and areas for improvement, helping them to excel.

Given that the CogAT consists of nine subtests, I typically recommend at least 7-9 tutoring sessions, with each session covering one to two subtests. This approach ensures comprehensive preparation. However, if a full schedule isn’t possible, we can prioritize specific areas based on an initial assessment, tailoring sessions to make the most of our time together. If you are interested in a Diagnostic Assessment, please let me know. 

After each session, we can review progress and adjust the focus as needed to best support your child's success.

✅ Problem-Solving Skills: 
Students will learn effective methods to approach and solve complex problems, fostering analytical thinking. This skill not only helps them excel in specific test questions but also builds resilience and adaptability when faced with challenging tasks, both in academics and daily life.

✅ Critical Thinking Skills:
My sessions focus on enhancing your child’s logical reasoning and decision-making abilities. By learning to assess information critically, they’ll be better equipped to tackle multi-step problems, evaluate answer choices carefully, and make sound, well-reasoned decisions across all subjects.

✅ Test-Taking Strategies:
Mastering essential test-taking techniques—such as time management, question prioritization, and answer elimination—significantly boosts your child’s confidence. These skills reduce test anxiety and prepare them to handle high-pressure situations calmly, improving their overall performance and readiness for future assessments.
