At many other tutoring companies, “expert” tutors are graduate students or young professionals with little experience and passion for the SAT/ACT. I am a full-time test prep professional with nearly 8 years of experience and over 8000 hours of tutoring experience with a variety of students. I’m constantly learning how the tests are evolving and adjust my materials accordingly.

I pride myself on making the SAT and ACT prep process enjoyable for each student. I love hearing students tell me how the tutoring experience is more fun than what they were expecting. I approach each session as a conversation actively involving the student to apply the information and techniques her or she is learning.

Unlike many other tutoring services, Story Test Prep and Tutoring does not offer tutoring packages or require you to attend set number of sessions. Each student has a different goal in mind and will require a different amount of prep; consequently, schedule as many sessions as your student requires to reach his or her goal.

An important part of the process for me is building a relationship with each student. Through this relationship building, I’m able to discover their way of learning. It also gains their trust and makes the process more enjoyable for them. Some students have remarked that it can sometimes feel like therapy!

After reviewing a student’s diagnostic test(s) or previous score(s), I will devise a plan based on the student’s needs. I prioritize the most frequent topics to each parts of the tests as well as the specific material each student needs more practice with.
