About me:

I am a 40 year-old SAT Tutor. That is what I am and it is something that I am very proud of. I actually have done many things that have led me to this end. In my past I have owned an Art-based business in New Mexico, designed web sites in Arizona and even owned a video game store in Vermont (obviously it's a long story). I've been around the block a few times and believe it or not, these experiences have led me to becoming an SAT tutor.

Why I'm good at this:

I am good at getting the kids to relate to me. I have over 10 years of Summer Camp experience in various forms and it really has led me to understand what keeps a teenager motivated and interested in what I have to offer. Oh, by the way, I am an absolute master of the SAT. It's really not all that hard once you know your stuff and I can assure you, after tutoring over 800 kids in 7 years, NOBODY knows this test better than I do.

My education:

I attended Temple University (Tyler School of Art), The University of Pittsburgh and studied for a year at Temple's Rome campus. In the end, I graduated from Temple University in 1994 with a BFA degree. I also graduated as a certified PA Teacher K-12 although I am a full-time tutor now.

Finding myself as a tutor:

I've been tutoring one thing or another for as long as I can remember. In high school, if you needed help with your math homework, I was your guy. The SAT has always intrigued me. What was it about this test that freaked so many people out? I had to figure it out. It took me some time, but in the end I prevailed! I've mastered every possible SAT method out there and integrated the most effective methods into my program. Each fall, I go to the bookstore and buy all of the new SAT books and manuals just to see if anybody has come up with anything new... by the way, they haven't.

Other things you should know about me:

I am a serious Softball and Hockey player and I play in adult leagues for both sports (I love the Phillies!) I am also also a bass guitar player and I have been obsessed with the Band 'Duran Duran' since 1982. Yes, I am Hungry Like the Wolf.
