"I have been an SAT Reading tutor for over three years. I received formal training from one of the most well-known SAT tutoring companies in Puerto Rico. Before becoming an SAT tutor, I was a high school English teacher for three years.
I have a Master's Degree in Special Education from Relay Graduate School of Education which means I am an expert at identifying students' specific needs and creating an individualized program for each and every one of them. I also have a Juris Doctor from the University of Puerto Rico, which means that my reading and writing skills are very advanced.
Most of my students raise their scores about 100 points from where they started. Unlike most SAT tutors, instead of strictly teaching multiple choice strategies, I begin with teaching students effective reading skills that correspond to the level they are at, no matter how low or how high. This is necessary for students to have a strong base and boost their confidence. I use my skills as a special education teacher in my SAT tutoring sessions to teach students how to comprehend a text even when their reading level is below average.
I have helped multiple students that began with a score in the low 400s reach the 600s. With my advanced students, most of those that start in the 600s reach the 700s if they are motivated and committed. I strongly believe that no matter a student's reading level, if they have the motivation, they can excel.
The multiple choice strategies I teach are proven to be highly effective. I myself used them in my bar exam and was very successful. I often share this with my students so that they can relate to me.
I genuinely enjoy working with high schoolers. I pride myself in developing good relationships with my students.
It’s an honor to support students in what is a very stressful time for them. They have so much pressure and weight on their shoulders, which is why I focus on supporting them to develop confidence in themselves and their abilities." less...
