SAT SUCCESS

Are you in search of an experienced and compassionate tutor with a proven track record? If so, I am the one for you. I have been helping students meet their potentials on both the SAT and ACT for many years. I am well-prepared to assist students on both the new digital SAT and the ACT. If you are interested in preparing for other standardized tests, such as the CLT or GED, I can help with those as well.

I have an extensive background in education including over 30 years teaching high school and over 20 years of tutoring. I have taught all levels of classes, from regular level to Advanced Placement and AICE. I have conducted after school SAT/ACT prep classes for my former school and for various sports booster clubs that wanted to provide tutoring for their athletes. An honor of which I am most proud is being selected as teacher of the year for my high school several years ago.

Most of the students I have tutored have been local and have been referred to me through word of mouth. Now that I am retired, I have expanded my services, and using Tutor.com which I used during the Pandemic.

I enjoy tutoring because I get to work with students on a one-to-one basis, which allows me to get to know each of my students' strengths and weaknesses very quickly. Thus, I am able to individualize my lessons in order to meet each student's specific needs. It is very rewarding for me to have the opportunity to work with students who come from different backgrounds and who perform at different ability levels. Furthermore, unlike my regular classroom experience, both my students and I get to see immediate results as we work together toward a common goal-test success.

One of the things I understand well about high school students is that they are very busy and often over-extended. As such, I try to be very flexible with the students that I tutor. I am very understanding when a student needs to cancel or reschedule at the last minute because he gets called in to work, has an unexpected school assignment to complete, or his coach changes practice time. Therefore, I don't charge the student for a last- minute cancellation as do most SAT/ACT tutors. My experience has taught me that to do so only creates stress for the student and his family.

As for experience, I have worked with students from several counties in Florida as well as students from out-of-state. Not only have I helped students improve their SAT/ACT scores, but I have also helped them build self-confidence and reduce test-taking anxiety.

A couple of my success stories include helping one student improve his overall SAT score over 200 points and helping another student improve his ACT score over 10 points. I would like to add you to my success stories!
