SAT/ SSAT/ APUSH and other Test Prep Tutoring: Unique Strategies and a Systematic Approach
For twelve years, I have helped students achieve dramatic results on standardized tests. For half of that time, I worked in China, where I learned the secrets of the top test prep companies and was later hired by them to develop new programs and test strategies. During this time, I was invited by China’s Ministry of Education as a featured guest speaker on how to design and execute innovative reading and vocabulary development strategies. My reputation grew with each student’s success, and my clientele grew to include China’s growing numbers of millionaires (and even a few billionaires) who wanted to help their children achieve success. Thanks to recent world events, I am now back in the United States, where I am president of an international tutoring company.

Reviews (2)
Aaron has been wonderful! We have worked with him three times a week for about three months now and she really enjoys working with him. He got her verbal to a 94%! Highly recommend!
Very experienced and great teacher, my son, a child with poor attention span, was able to sit for 2 hours each time and the gains were huge.Aaron made our goals clear, provided relevant exercises and explained the wrong parts every time, which was very helpful for the SSAT exam.

English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOsAfter completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing.
In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction.
We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this.
I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
