Acumen Learning: Read Well, Write Purposefully, Analyze Cogently
About
I have been teaching English for 30 years both in college (Boston University and MIT) and high school (Phillips Andover Academy, and Boston Latin School). I tutor both college and high school students who are motivated to excel and therefore are willing to work harder to obtain the results they envision.
From vocabulary building to facilitate access to content to effective effective test-taking trategies to improve results in class and on standardized tests, our students have improved their results by nearly 30%.
I love helping student switch their own learning potential.
