I tutor students from all over the United States (and the world) online in personal, one-on-one sessions. While we technically are in a video meeting, the focus is on a shared screen where we both view the questions you missed on the test, and I create a personalized strategy guide based on those questions. Each time we meet we add to your strategy guide, which you can access as a PDF file in a personal Google Drive folder I provide that contains all your tutoring materials. Between sessions, you apply the strategies on additional practice tests to create "muscle memory" for those strategies. 

I specialize in helping students prepare quickly and efficiently for the SAT and/or the ACT.  Rather than go through lots of different lessons, I provide an actual past test to take at home before the first session, and then in our session we discuss overall test strategies and focus on the questions you missed and how to get those questions right on the next test.  Each session we will add to a personalized set of strategies based on the questions you missed. Once we've reviewed the first test, you take another test and we gauge improvement, then review the questions you missed on that second test. As your score improves on each test, you miss fewer questions and we can review the test in a shorter amount of time. 

I specialize in helping students prepare quickly and efficiently for the LSAT. We begin with introductory overview sessions on each of the three main subject areas (logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension). Then, you practice on materials I provide and come back for more in-depth sessions in each subject area once you've mastered the basics. Each session we add to a personalized set of strategies you can apply on real past LSAT tests to gauge your actual improvement and zero in on your goal score.

I specialize in helping students prepare quickly and efficiently for the MCAT CARS section.  We begin by discussing your overall approach to the CARS section and suggesting an approach to use. After that, you practice the approach on passages and then in subsequent sessions we begin to focus on more detailed strategies for each question type, and discuss adapting the approach for different types of passages. Each session we add to a personalized set of strategies you can study in order to quickly reach and exceed your goal score.

I specialize in helping students prepare quickly and efficiently for the GMAT and/or the GRE. I generally recommend that you start by taking an actual practice test that we will reviewing in our first sessions. By focusing only on the questions you missed, we build a personalized set of strategies that you can use on practice questions to build muscle memory for the strategies. Once we've reviewed the first test, you practice the strategies on materials I provide, then take another real GMAT or GRE practice test to gauge improvement, and then we repeat the process until you reach or exceed your goal score.
