College Prep Tutoring

Standardized test prep includes: SAT, SAT IIs, ACT, PSAT, ISEE, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, college applications, personal statement and grant proposals.

If your goal is to earn your highest possible test scores, I can help you. I taught test-prep classes and tutored students for Kaplan Test Prep for over 4 years and have been tutoring privately for an additional 11 years. My SAT and GRE students' average score increase is over 120 points per section! Would you be excited about a score increase like that?

I am pleased to offer the most elite level of tutoring to my clients at a rate lower than what they would have to pay if they had hired me through a national company like Princeton Review or Kaplan. I work individually with my students to create customized strategies for test preparation and test day.

It's not too soon to think about these tests!

Please contact me ASAP so we can schedule your ideal appointment time.

Thanks,
Kathryn

Question and answer

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love working with students of all different age and ability levels. My youngest student so far was in 5th grade (preparing for the ISEE to get into a private middle school) and my oldest was a 64 year-old who was preparing to take the GRE for her application to a PhD program.

I also enjoy the fact that my students "graduate" from my program. We work very intently (and sometimes intensely) in order to achieve our goal and, after we achieve it, my students are empowered and ready to move on to the next level. They don't need to stay in a tutoring program with me indefinitely.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?

A. The "new GRE" test format begins August 1, 2011. I am fully prepared to teach the new format, but strongly recommend you take the test before the change, because historically, student scores drop after a test revision. When the GRE last made updates in 2002, median scores dropped seven points and continued to decline for the next five years.
The computer analysis and test taking strategies are going to be different, but the questions and the thought-process used to solve them are relatively unchanged.
