Studying With Susan
About
I am very good at assessing what a student most needs helps with in regards to SAT/ACT English, writing, and reading tutoring. For example, I can tell if the student has a time management problem or if a student needs to learn or relearn grammar rules. I also am great at breaking down the stages of writing an essay. I can make the process less intimidating for the student. Teaching reading comprehension skills is also one of my specialties.
