Studying With Susan
About
I am very good at assessing what a student most needs helps with in regards to SAT/ACT English grammar, writing, and reading. For example, I can tell if the student has a time management problem and/or if a student needs to learn or review grammar rules. I also am great at breaking down the stages of writing an essay. I can make the process less intimidating and/or daunting for the student. I also specialize in teaching reading comprehension, short answer responses, and critical essay writing.
