Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My Skype-delivered SAT & ACT process is very strategy-based. I have written out section-specific methods, tips, short-cuts & common deceptions to watch out for. Having combed through the top private prep company sources for the best of each, I've also added some techniques confirmed effective by my > 250 past clients. I email you these bullet point teaching notes, along with key content and real test problems to point out tangible applications of the strategies. This creates the virtual experience of sitting next to each other with much greater convenience. I demonstrate Math problems on a large whiteboard that will fill most of your screen. After each test prep teaching session, I assign & provide recent real test sections for “off the clock” homework. When we reconvene, I coach you to rework your own mistakes by applying the strategies/methods. You get real time feedback as to section performance and improvement as you do more homework on each section of the test, eventually prepared to self-correct for final practice. In all my tutoring subjects (Algebra, Business, Reading Comp etc.), I have a knack for adjusting to students' different learning styles, using alternative approaches & teaching tools. I have a lot of experience writing strategic & financial corporate documents and also work as an editor (essays to books). I can tutor to a perfect score on the Writing/English sections of these tests by teaching the grammar and writing flow rules in plain English. Math multiple choice tests are different than those in school; I explain ways to back into the correct answer or substitute real #s for the variables. I also make sure you remember concepts not used since middle school and how to"translate" math language into arithmetic. Celebrating my clients' progress and achievements. Many students have credited me with helping them get into their 1st choice colleges or grad schools (Harvard, Oxford for ex.), for 5 point jumps in already good ACT scores, and for SAT scores @/above 1500. Additionally, I have significantly increased both the confidence and competence of numerous students, initially overwhelmed by the stress and twisted presentation of the material on these tests.
