As someone who once struggled in school myself, I know how stressful it can be when you don’t know why you are scoring poorly on exams, essays, and presentations, and thus how to improve. If you hire me, you will gain quality feedback and customized instruction that directly targets your teenager’s weaknesses and fosters a better understanding and grasp of the content, enabling him or her to improve quickly. I have been recognized for relating well to teenagers, for “making history come alive,” and for explaining the backstories that may textbooks falsely assume that students already know. The best evidence of my successful tutoring is that most of my former clients have thrived through the rest of high school and all four years of college with minimal additional tutoring. Here are some of my results over the past ten years: 90+% of my students’ grades in Social Studies and English rose to A or A+ within 2 months. 100% of my Regents (NYS) students passed on their first try. More than 65% of my students earned a 4 or 5 on their AP exams. 94% of my students gained admission to their first choice for college. 92% of my students, even C average students, gained admission to a top 50 college.
