Private tutor in Apex, NC
Education
Master's Degree in Counselor Education from Florida Atlantic University
Experience
As a specialized SAT/ACT coach, I am able to combine my love of teaching with my expertise in reading and writing. My approach is SAT-specific and/or ACT-specific, targeted at helping students improve their scores in Critical Reading and English/Writing skills. I believe that my in-depth knowledge of the SAT and ACT sets me apart from those who offer general tutoring in english, reading or writing. In addition to being a published freelance writer, I have extensive background in Higher Education and instruction. As an academic counselor and professor at Palm Beach State College for 12 years, I interacted with thousands of students. I taught a course entitled "Strategies for College Success" which focused on study skills, time management and adjustment to college life. I offer private tutoring with customized lesson plans that are based on the student's prior test results, academic strengths and educational goals. I offer a systematic approach to tackling the SAT/ACT which has proven to be successful with prior students. It would be my pleasure to work with you!
