Experience

I have been an ACT and SAT test tutor for the past 3 years with a focus on the English and Reading sections. I scored a 730 on my SAT verbal section, and a 760 on the SATII writing test. Tutoring is very rewarding. As a tutor, I really like seeing the progress of a student as they come to understand and build their skills in a given subject.
