Experience
Highly experienced with all subjects and levels. I focus on the making things as simple as possible, and helping students to learn HOW to learn. Longtime instructor/developer of materials for a national test preparation center (MCAT, LSAT, GRE, SAT, etc.). Editor of several published books; excellent at helping people develop their writing skills. ----------- An unsolicited testimonial: "Dear Robert! I would like to start off by saying – THANK YOU!!! I stormed out on Sunday (as I always do) and didn’t even get a chance to shake your hand and say thank you. That’s why I’m sending you this email. My finals are over (declaring a moratorium on all schoolwork activity), so I feel more relaxed to write a few words. When I was searching for a tutor, I didn’t know what to expect, since I’ve never worked with one before. I’ve had two so-called tutors responding to me, claiming they had PhD in chemistry. Once I emailed them my labs, they couldn’t analyze and solve essential equilibrium problems. And then you emailed... I can’t even begin to describe what a privilege it’s been working with you. Not only did you make my dreadful chemistry labs fun and exciting, but I learned so much in the process. I got a perfect score on all the labs, which really boosted my grade up. You exceeded all my expectations, and I feel like I really lucked out with you. I will miss seeing you once a week and talk about electrochemistry, kinetics, and radioactive decay, with occasional Star Wars theme. It's been fun knowing you! Thanks again and I hope you’ll have a wonderful holiday season. Smiles, Natasha"
