That’s what has kept me tutoring for over 20 years, and it’s the experience I strive to create for my students! I was a National Merit Finalist in high school. Seven years later, I had my own “light bulb moment†after a Princeton Review prep course. After brushing off my rusty math and formal logic skills, my GRE scores rose to the 99th percentile. In...
