Jerome O.
Private tutor in Philadelphia, PA
Education
BA in English from Oberlin College Masters in Education from State University of New York at Brockport
Experience
* I have over ten years of experience preparing hundreds of students for the PSAT and SAT. * My students typically increase at least 200 points on the Math and Reading sections (combined) and make additional increases on their Writing scores. (Note that colleges place much more importance on the Math and Reading scores.) * I have six years of experience teaching middle and high school English at one of the top public school districts in the nation. (And even though I teach English professionally, I also have always loved math and enjoying teaching it as well.) * Students and parents describe me as "friendly" and "very helpful" -- and some have even said that I "take the anxiety out of the SAT." * I scored a perfect score on my SAT and won a National Merit Scholarship. I have also taken the SAT six times over the past ten years, analyzing it closely and learning its secrets.

Hobbies
As an "Englishy" sort of person, of course I do a lot of reading and writing. I also love movies (especially comedies and horror films), cats, music, and bad jokes. My 8th grade students and parents often tell me how fun -- and how funny -- I am as a teacher. My goal for helping students conquer the SAT is to take out the fear and show them how the test works and then how to outsmart it. It's just like playing a game -- learn who your opponent is and figure out a strategy for winning.
