Package Description:
I specialize in test prep only--I'm not an application coach. My lessons/curriculum are for students who want to maximize their potential and get the most competitive score possible. Usually students will work with me for a total of 24-48 hours depending on their needs. I offer different discounts for each package, but first we will meet to explore which option fits you best.
What you'll get from this package
I will guide you on how to organize your notes, build you an error tracker, and monitor your progress with shared files.
I adjust my speed and intensity to your comprehension level by observing how you tackle problems in the lesson. By the end of this package, I can assess and offer suggestions forward.

Coaching delivered via live sessions.
Straight up, I'm a test taking junkie and I very much love what I do. I was a high school math teacher for years and was nominated for a best teacher award every year I worked, a fact I'm super proud of. But as zany as it may sound, test prep is my true passion, because I love getting students to think more creatively/strategically as I show them the patterns and trends on tests I've discovered. I live vicariously through my students' wins. I'm also good at keeping students motivated and holding them accountable. And lessons fly by, because "I'm not a regular teacher, I'm a cool teacher." :)

GRE Tutor ~ 99th Percentile ~ Specializing in Quant ~ 20+ yrs experience.
I've been mentoring students to take the GRE since 2005. I was already working for Kaplan Test Prep as a SAT, ACT, and LSAT tutor and I took the GRE when I applied to graduate school in 2002. (I have a MA in Math Education from Teachers College, Columbia University.) Based on my GRE score (the scoring rubric has changed over the years, but I scored at least 95% in each subject, as per Kaplan standards), Kaplan trained me to be a GRE coach. I later became a full time high school teacher and my second job was private tutoring. For about 15 years, I only taught SAT and ACT. In 2016, I made a major life change and moved to the Azores, Portugal. I returned to private tutoring. Realizing that there was more demand for GMAT and GRE, I self-studied and began working as a GRE tutor. I feel my biggest asset is not my content knowledge or teaching skills, but rather my ability to connect with learners on a personal level. I really enjoy the time spent with my students. I'm not just a tutor doling out facts to memorize--I'm also a counselor who needs to motivate. It may sound cliche, but every student is different! And I enjoy thinking creatively about how to tackle different learning obstacles. My motto is: A good tutor teaches students the steps needed to solve particular problems. A great tutor shows students to how to think ingeniously when faced with unfamiliar content. I go through all the highs and lows with my students while keeping them motivated, positive, and feeling good about their progress. I believe learning should feel like an enjoyable struggle. It's hard work, but the end result makes the effort worth it and that much more gratifying.
