Mr. Writing Tutor's Story

Although I scored in the 99 percentile of the writing section of the SAT, averaged a 4.0 in my School Building Leadership graduate school program, and attained many letters praising my teaching throughout the years, I was never seen as a gifted and talented student.

I initially scored in the 50 percentile of the SAT Verbal section, averaged an 84 throughout high school and college, and was even asked to leave the high school I work in today.

I ended up staying at the school and overcoming my early struggles.  Since then, I have:

·         Written curriculum and conducted staff development that have helped raise graduation rates

·         Mentored other teachers and received highly effective ratings in class observations

·         Excelled as a test prep instructor in Bayside, Syosset and Great Neck

I left the test prep centers to pursue a career as a High Profile English Tutor who has direct contact with parents.  I help children succeed in the:

·         Hunter College High School Exam, TACHS and SHSAT

·         English Sections of the SAT and ACT

·         College Application Essay

As an independent tutor, I can work directly with parents to help children achieve success.  A parent can email, text or call me directly if there is a concern or a last minute project.  I can also contact a parent without having to go through an administrator.  We can work together to do what is best for children.  As an English tutor, I have helped students:

·         Improve their ACT reading and writing scores up to 5 points in each section

·         Improve their SAT reading and writing scores up to 200 points in each section

·         Gain confidence to succeed in reading and writing in college and throughout life

Sometimes, all a struggling student needs is the advice of a teacher and the will to improve.  I believe in all my students as long as they are willing to believe in themselves. 

If you have any questions about my current availability, please contact me and I will be happy to help.
