I specialize in working with high-school and college students taking standardized tests like the SAT and ACT as well as those enrolled in STEM coursework. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, an MBA in finance and a second masters degree in business analytics and I tutor grades 8-College.
My approach to tutoring is distinct from that of a formally trained instructor, and relies on both developing effective techniques to cope and catch up with classroom material, and ultimately improving outcomes, whether through better grades or better performance in class. I also work with students looking to achieve perfect scores on the Math sections of standardized tests, just as I always have when taking the tests myself, by approaching the challenge as I did when I went through the process as a young man. I've been told by several tutors and parents in the past that no other tutors they had engaged were able to help them achieve those scores the way I managed to. I also specialize in working with kids who are special needs, including those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADD, among other special disorders.
I still remember my first IB student in Dallas. This high school senior approached me 9 weeks before her terminal (12th grade final) exam in IB Chemistry HL, with a predicted grade of 2 (on 7). We decided to meet 4 times a week for those two months prior to her exam. Within a few weeks, we had upped her projected performance to a 4. Thanks to our Herculean efforts, we were able to secure her a grade of 5 and she graduated with her IB Diploma! She went on to graduate from one of the top public colleges in the state as an honors student in her department.
I love traveling overseas, and I'm fortunate to have visited over 40 countries so far, and every continent except Antarctica. I'm also a passionate soccer fan. I'm fortunate enough to have been to both El Classico and Wembley for the FA cup final, and I play in recreational tournaments every chance I get.
