What this means is that even a child who regularly struggles at math, reading, or writing can memorize the framework and question types and conquer the SAT. There is a lot of satisfaction knowing that every second...

And seeing how a student can surprise themselves with their own abilities is the best thing a tutor can ask for.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading about politics and current events, working out,...
