I am one of those rare individuals who love standardized tests, and I love helping students raise their scores to succeed on tests. I specialize in online tutoring for SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, ISEE, and SSAT. One of my favorite parts about being a tutor is receiving messages from my students saying that not only did they raise their scores significantly, but they also got into their dream program__sometimes with scholarships! I have tutored all components of each of the tests and have scored at least in the 95th percentile on all of them. I also work with students on gifted and talented tests such as the CogAT. No two students are the same, so I customize each test prep session according to the students` needs, goals, and time available.

In addition, I also provide online academic tutoring and homework support for math (from grade school up to trigonometry/Pre-Calculus) and English. I have taught English both for native and for non-native speakers. I tutor very interactively, and focus on customizing my tutoring for the student`s particular needs. I can help with homework, study skills, or enrichment activities to go beyond the classroom. I particularly enjoy helping students discover that they actually CAN be good at the subject that is challenging them, provided they work hard and ask lots of questions.

Availability: All of my tutoring is conducted online using Skype and an interactive online whiteboard.

I tutor weekdays and weekends after 4pm Eastern (1pm Pacific). Limited morning availability (8-10am Eastern).

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have 15 years of tutoring experience, have been formally trained as a tutor, and have even won a National Tutor of the Year award for my work with one education company. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Washington with degrees in Linguistics and Psychology, and a master`s degree in Second Language Studies from the University of Hawaii.
