I am a Princeton Review Certified SAT tutor with several years experience tutori... ng students from diverse educational and socioeconomic backgrounds on all sections of the test. I have worked for A-List Education, Catalyst Prep, and the Yleana Leadership Foundation where I honed my tutoring skills; developed a strong understanding of the SAT and various strategies to navigate it; and formulated my own teaching style rooted in actionable tools, clarity, compassion, and facilitator-based learning. Additionally, I am a skilled communicator whose expressive talents as a performer enable me to connect authentically with students and teach information in a clear and compelling manner. I understand that a successful teacher must build a genuine relationship with the student that is built on trust and genuine connection. My background as an artist has equipped me with the necessary tools to facilitate a compassionate and open dialogue between teacher and student. I believe it is this type of approach to teaching that allows a student to really receive the material, internalize it, and ultimately apply it when needed. With regards to my reading skills, I have always had a voracious desire to read and a natural ability to quickly digest and process any subject. I consistently read material that personally interests me, in addition to reading scripts and books for my work as a development associate with my current job at a production/management company. And my experience learning content and strategy with different tutoring companies has given me a robust understanding of how to best navigate the reading passages tested on the SAT. Finally, I have a real passion for teaching that arises from a genuine desire to help students discover their potential and build confidence that extends beyond the SAT and academic pursuits. I believe that this work can truly inspire a self-assurance and tenacity that students can carry with them through their lives. read more
