You want to feel well-prepared and confident come test day. To help you get there, we will develop an individualized plan based on your previous test results, personal strengths, unique challenges, and academic goals.
During our sessions, we'll work on content knowledge, subject-specific strategies, and error analysis to maximize your test score. My test prep students have earned point increases that have paved the way to top choice schools, college scholarships, and a major boost in self-confidence.
HOMEWORK/SPECIAL TOPICS: Perhaps you are struggling in one of your classes, need to improve your study skills, or want to plan your educational strategy. In addition to test prep, I've helped hundreds of students with college application prep, college admission essay-writing, career development, computer orientation, nursing studies, resume' writing, study skills, and homework needs. I'm always up for a new challenge!
