Experience
RECENT TEST SCORE PERCENTILES Composite 99th--Reading (SAT) 99th--English (ACT) 97th--Math (ACT) 96th Essay (SAT) 11/12 Tutor.com/Private Tutor 6/2007-2/2012 Math Tutor/College Entrance Exam Prep Teacher--These positions require the ability to plan lessons and communicate complex ideas to groups and individuals. As a tutor I was awarded Math Tutor of the Month twice, August 2007 and January 2009, and was promoted to Tutor 3 status, a position reserved for only a select group of highly qualified tutors. As a self-employed test prep teacher, I help high school juniors and seniors prepare for the SAT and ACT exams. My efforts have resulted in repeat business with younger siblings and many referrals. Clearances and references available upon request. I tutor exclusively through Skype. Ideally I like to meet with students 6 sessions to cover all subjects; however, I believe one or two customized sessions are superior to lengthier classes where time can be wasted on unfocused strategies and practice. All of my students have improved their scores and some as much as 250 points. Here are some testimonials! Thank you so much for helping Megan! She raised her score 100 points! Mary Jo S., Parent Greenville, PA Hannah came home from tutoring with so much confidence! She got accepted into her top two schools and now needs to make a choice; that's a good thing! Michelle O., Parent Greenville, PA Convenient, affordable and personable, thank you for all your help with Zack! Lori K., Parent Greenville, PA Sam is so glad he took your class and he has recommended it to others! Beth G., Parent Greenville, PA Joanne, I can't thank you enough! You truely helped Keanna better understand the SAT testing process and helped her hone in on her own skills. Her score improved 250 points! Update! 5/30/12--Keanna just updated her SAT scores with Gannon and she got an additional 3200 in grant money! Jennifer G., Parent Greenville, PA
