SAT/ SSAT/ APUSH and other Test Prep Tutoring: Unique Strategies and a Systematic Approach
For twelve years, I have helped students achieve dramatic results on standardized tests. For half of that time, I worked in China, where I learned the secrets of the top test prep companies and was later hired by them to develop new programs and test strategies. During this time, I was invited by China’s Ministry of Education as a featured guest speaker on how to design and execute innovative reading and vocabulary development strategies. My reputation grew with each student’s success, and my clientele grew to include China’s growing numbers of millionaires (and even a few billionaires) who wanted to help their children achieve success. Thanks to recent world events, I am now back in the United States, where I am president of an international tutoring company.

Reviews (2)
Aaron has been wonderful! We have worked with him three times a week for about three months now and she really enjoys working with him. He got her verbal to a 94%! Highly recommend!
Very experienced and great teacher, my son, a child with poor attention span, was able to sit for 2 hours each time and the gains were huge.Aaron made our goals clear, provided relevant exercises and explained the wrong parts every time, which was very helpful for the SSAT exam.
