SAT and ACT preparation tutoring, including PSAT and PLAN tests. Prior experience tutoring 9th-12th grade mathematics, English, composition, and literature. College preparation and organization, from researching prospective institutions to making the final decision. Considerable work with students in reading, literacy, comprehension, writing, and essay composition.

Hobbies
I'm a part-time librarian, with a love for learning. I pride myself on being approachable, patient, and knowledgeable about a variety of subjects subjects -- I relied on tutors through high school for assistance, and know what a great help they can be for additional instruction and guidance. I have worked with students from a variety of backgrounds; most aged 15-18, and some non-traditional and returning students. Whether the goal is to pass a required class or achieve a perfect grade, I'm prepared to help students along. Tutoring sessions typically include going over prior assignments and exams, preparing coursework, and doing additional exercises. I am also available during non-session time to check work prior to submission, review essays, and provide other services. I spend much of my free time reading and writing, studying foreign languages, and practicing yoga.
