I can be especially helpful with college entrance exams such as SAT. Most of my SAT Prep methods are based upon students solving problems by learning from their mistakes. I find that successful college students develop this method for themselves as well. The Method includes students first taking a diagnostic test to identify their weaknesses. Accordingly, they study and practice similar assignments. Initially, this is done in tutoring sessions, in which I serve as an academic coach. Soon, students do this themselves between sessions. During the session that follows the independent study, I review only the problems with which the student had difficulty. This uses our time most efficiently. During these sessions, in the context of reviewing these difficult problems, I also introduce test-taking strategies.
