Math, English, and Test Prep Tutoring (SAT, GRE, and TOEFL)

I specialize in tutoring math and English for school and the SAT, GRE and TOEFL exams. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports. I also keep a record of what we have done for each class.
My students improve greater than 150 points on average once they can master the main concepts. Many of them have gone on to attend top universities around the world.

very good teacher
Alan is a very friendly and knowledgeable teacher. He was always understanding and worked with me on my weak areas to improve my SAT score. Alan helped me score above my target score in both math and English. He provided his own material and took the time to work on assignments that were unclear even outside of our class so as not to prolong the class. I highly recommend Alan as a tutor and am very glad I found him.
So far the experience on apprentus and the teacher I met is nice!
Studying medicine can be a tough and exhausting journey. I can mentor you to get accepted into medical schools and can also teach you medical school classes, build a strong and solid foundation by teaching you how to break down difficult topics into manageable chunks so that you can absorb them easily. Be willing to work hard and to turn your learning into a fun-filled journey. All ages welcome. I can work with you up to 8 hours per day, 7 days a week. Great results are guaranteed if you are willing to work together with me.
I am a native German speaker and can teach A1 to C1 level. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. You will learn important and also interesting study strategies that will help you improve your speaking, listening, reading and writing. I usually assign homework after every lesson and keep a record of what we've done and will do for the next lesson. My quizzes and tests will keep you focused on your goal and not a source of discouragement.
I specialize in tutoring and preparing Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus AB+BC for the AP and also the IB exam. My goal is to improve problem solving ability of each of my students and also to increase their long term memory retention of learning materials. I assign homework after every session, schedule periodic review sessions and quizzes, and provide succinct progress reports. I have many satisfied students, many of which have gone on to attend top universities around the world.

SAT preparation - online and in presence classes !
I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools, helping them with the preparation of tests such as the SAT and ACT. I believe that the key for a successful preparation of a challenging test such as the SAT is exercise, in fact I believe that is crucial to start the preparation with an adequate advance to gain confidence with the standard exercises we can find in the exam. My lessons are based on mock exercises: we go through them together seeing what are the student's gaps and then reviewing the theory of those gaps. I also believe that my method I successful since I can relate to the fear and anxiety a student preparing such a stressful exam is living, having prepared it not so long ago.

Learn English with a Native, Certified, and Experienced Teacher in a Natural Way
I teach with an eclectic fashion meaning with a little bit of everything. This refers to the 4 language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) but also to the teaching approaches themselves. This allows us to be more flexible in the learning process. I mostly apply the information-processing approach which is a natural, communicative way to link reading and listening to speaking. During the language learning process, it is important to learn from errors and have a great sense of humor.
