SAT Tutoring And Prep

First, I want to layout the specifics for why are we doing what we are doing. If students can not see the big picture then they will struggle to progress. Second, I make sure students know that success with tutoring is a two way street, and since I will not take the SAT for them, they will have to put in the effort during and after sessions. Finally, I try not to overwhelm students, because most challenges can be overcome if things are taken one step at a time.

I was accepted to many many prestigious Universities, including Ivy Schools, and UC Berkeley. As a mostly self taught student, I had to learn the hard way when it came to prepping for exams, but the knowledge I gained is very powerful, and I would like to share that knowledge with my students.

I work with parents and students to determine what the standard hourly rate is for their area and charge accordingly. If parents or students pay in advance for a bulk number of hours I can also discount my rate, depending on the number of hours paid for.

I have been tutoring students since I was a student in High School. I love helping others, and word around school spread that I could help in a large variety of subjects. 

I have worked with many different skill levels of students. One of the main success factors I have found is student motivation, regardless of natural talents.

Be wary of tutors that guarantee results, because success with tutoring requires a degree self motivation. Although a tutor can show you the best practices, it takes practice to solidify this knowledge. 

Students must organize their questions based on specific SAT prep questions, and general learning/studying questions. The SAT may be daunting, but it is essentially a test of how well you study. This means that questions of what is on the exam may be less enlightening than questions of how to approach the exam.
