Edward H.
I’m a certified teacher of English with extensive experience tutoring math through geometry, and into the fundamentals of trigonometry and calculus. I’m the content designer for two SAT preparation for the 2400 series of the test formerly available on iTunes, using a smart flash card platform that innovated a math system designed specifically to improve time management and trap identification, called CCCP Math. I have also identified techniques that limit the effects of self-distraction that is often the key to better concentration.
I believe there are four components to doing well on the SAT test: specific knowledge, problem solving process, focus, and confidence. I make it my business to address all of these areas.
I’ve been tutoring SAT for 10 years and have many success stories. more than 90% of student who do 6 or more lessons with me improve markedly. For elite score students, (those who could only possibly improve 16%) I’ve seen significant improvements in the reduction of the number of errors. For student starting in the 1000-1300 range, I’ve seen improvements as high as 90% better. I rely on a hybrid teaching approach where I use screen shots of slides from my apps, while process is taught and supported through tutoring and exercises based in McGraw Hill’s SAT book. The results have been great.
With covid affecting the learning process, I feel the need to offer my service as a distance learning coach to parents, helping as a mentor reviewing the coming weeks materials for presentation and stepping in to teach only when remediation is necessary. We can’t, after all, afford a full program of tutoring in all areas. With over 7000 hours of tutoring under my belt, parents can rely upon my perspective and advice.
Lately in my tutoring lab, I’ve developed techniques that show results in improving basic focus and addressing “Test Anxiety”. Ask me about my findings, if you fear your child is not suited to standardized testing. I may just be able to help.
