Xuan H.
Private tutor in Rochester Hills, MI
Education
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (2012) -- Psychology B.A. I also attended the International Academy in Bloomfield Hills, MI. As such, I am very familiar with the International Baccalaureate Programme.
Experience
I initially started out as a general tutor, but transitioned into purely SAT/ACT tutoring upon the recommendations/referrals of past students. I am able to tutor both the current SAT as well as the new SAT that will be administered starting March 2016. My scores: • SAT - 2350 (Verbal - 750) (Math - 800) (Writing - 800) • ACT - 35 (English - 35) (Math - 35) (Reading - 35) (Science - 36) Relevant experience: • 2 years tutoring elementary students (grades 3-5) in reading skills/comprehension and mathematics • 2 years SAT tutoring as a personal tutor • worked as a summer resident advisor for pre-college/college undergraduates at the Johns Hopkins University for 2 summers • volunteered as a mentor for adolescents ages 12-18 at the Sheppard Pratt Mann Residential Treatment Center in Towson, MD My goal is not only to help students to better understand the standardized test process, but also to teach them strategies that can be applied to future standardized tests. In addition to working with my students to raise their test scores, I aim to help them understand the purpose that that the SATs/ACTs serve in their college application process. ** Please note that for most ACT/SAT tutoring, each session usually lasts approximately 2 hours unless otherwise discussed.
