SAT AND ACT PREP!
Interested in an SAT Prep Course? Would you like NOT to be part of some huge class where you're treated more like a commodity than a person? Why not work with me? SAT Prep is my specialty. I've tutored for the SAT since 2002, and have taught SAT prep classes (verbal and math) for two SAT prep courses. I'll gladly meet you at your home, a library, a coffee shop, or wherever you like. I focus on the real information you need to know, both the substantive information (you know, the actual math, grammar, vocabulary, and reading skills), and teach you the test-taking tricks without focusing WAY TOO MUCH on the tricks as some courses, that shall remain nameless, do. I don't know what they expect you to do. What the heck are you going to do when you deal with problems that aren't multiple choice? What will you do when you just NEED TO KNOW THE INFORMATION? I'd rather just teach you how to do the problems the right way, then resort to "test tricks" as a supplement to, not a substitute for, actual subject knowledge. Trying to "cheat" your way through life doesn't work and makes you look like a jerk when you fail. So don't be a schmo - go with a pro! But wait - there's more! There's always the opportunity to obtain additional personal tutoring if necessary, even in non-SAT subjects, at a reasonable cost. Are You a Foreign Student Looking to Attend College in the U.S.? Or Just Not in Northern California? Are you located outside the Bay Area? I can set up online tutoring via SKYPE or Google Hangouts I've worked with students in Thailand, China, Houston, and Seattle. I'm very interested in working with students from the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other foreign countries. Email me at [email protected] or call me at (415) 986-7355 if you're interested. A Note on The First Test Prep Session (Please Read This Before Hiring Me!): The first session is almost always going to be a “diagnostic” session. What I mean is that I will give the student a practice test (usually labeled the “diagnostic” test in whatever test prep book I’m using) to determine what his or her weaknesses are, so we can work on them. I will usually have the student do several problems, stop him or her, review the answers with the student, and make notes as to what the student knows and doesn’t know, so I know what to focus on in future sessions. That DOES NOT mean “all I do is have students do problems and then give them the answers,” even if it appears that way in the first session. First, I always give explanations and examples that aren’t in the book, and second, I will teach concepts the student doesn’t understand well, but I cannot perform either of those tasks efficiently without knowing what the student does and does not know. If you wish to save time on that task, you can always contact me, and we can arrange for your student to complete the diagnostic test BEFORE our first session so I can review the areas in which the student has trouble.
