Nnang: Wake County tutor
Certified Tutor
After completing secondary school in South Africa, I did a PG year at a high school in Connecticut.
During my year in Connecticut, I took Honors and AP Chemistry, Honors and AP Physics, and Honors Calculus; I also received the CollegeBoard AP Scholar with Honors Award.
I have experience tutoring the New SAT. I understand the material and subtle nuances of the test. I have developed test-taking strategies that help a great deal when taking the SAT.
