"English Enrichment Tutor"
As a former college and university instructor, I emphasize reading comprehension, vocabulary, and detailed writing. Writing is an art as well as a method. Students will not do well on standardized tests unless they have a solid background in the use of the language. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds as a high school teacher, a community college and university instructor, and an adult education teacher. I also substitute at a few high schools in the Montgomery County a... ... More

Alan is an excellent technical writer, and editor who possess the skill set to assist anyone in any writing task. Alan not only has the skills, he also has the ability to guide a project to fruition. As a professional student preparing for my dissertation I found Alan to give me confidence from his astute critique, document structure, content, style, and grammar.

"PhD. Patient and knowledgeable-Writing, Reading, Speech, Communication"
I have studied the physiology of ADHD, and keep up with the very latest research regarding the condition (see the research of Dr. Russell Barkley--the most esteemed researcher in the field for his findings). My graduate studies in counseling psychology and my work with college students that have ADHD both have contributed to my expertise in the area.
I work with people that are seeking advice or 'coaching' individually since ADHD is not a "one size fits all" problem. While there are general behaviors, cognitive functioning, learning styles, issues with concentration and "executive function ... More

"SAT/ACT Prep Expert. 5+ Years. 160+ Students. 99th Percentile Scorers."
Many of my students have scored in the 99th percentile on both the SAT and the ACT, and now attend schools including Yale, Cornell, and the U.S. Naval Academy. I have helped dozens of students boost their SAT scores by hundreds of points, and their ACT scores by as many as 5 points! These results come from hundreds of hours of experience breaking down SAT and ACT problems into simple, easy-to-understand steps. During my lessons, I use prompting questions to help students understand the steps ... ... More

I am extremely happy with Taylor's tutor It is a great match. I have had tutors for Taylor in the past, but they have not been as effective.

"Get the quality of a certified teacher in the comfort of your home!"
As a teacher, I work with more and more students each year that have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. I am familiar with the kinds of accommodations that they require in addition to the most effective teaching strategies that will help students with ADD/ADHD become the best that they can be!
On a personal note, my younger brother and several of my nephews have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, so I have been "teaching" children with ADD/ADHD ever since I was a child myself.
With patience and dedication, I have seen how a child with ADD/ADHD can fulfill their maximum potential and even surpass th ... More
