Adam
Highly Experienced Test Prep Instructor
I have almost two decades of experience in helping students achieve their personal best on standardized tests. I've recieved top marks on the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. I have a BA in Government & Politics from the University of Maryland's prestigious honors program, and a graduate certificate in Geographic Information Systems from CUNY Hunter College. I tutor part time while I work for a local flight simulator. I started tutoring SAT for my high school in 2005, shortly after I took the test myself...

Adam was excellent in prepping my son for the SSAT. He tutored him weekly for about 7 weeks and his progress was notable and better than expected. He ended up with a superb score on the SSAT on the first try; I am sure that Adam's involvement was a large part of his success. I would recommend Adam to anyone looking for an excellent tutor for their son or daughter!!
Christopher L. from Silver Spring, MD
My 8th grader has been working with Adam for 8 weeks to prepare for several high school placement tests. Adam clearly and patiently explains the material, and he helps my son understand when he gets the wrong answers without making him feel anxious or incapable. My son is always very engaged and looks forward to his meetings with Adam. This process has also helped my son to identify and close some gaps in his knowledge and skills, and I believe it will contribute to building his self-confidence.

Adam has been wonderful working with my 17 year old son on SAT prep as well as summer math work. He has been on time, patient, and they are making a great connection that I know will continue into the school year. It is great to have him to help with the challenges of senior year as the work gets harder. It never hurts to have a smart young man as a mentor to a teenager.

Doesn't overwhelm my son with homework or test taking. Addresses questions about problems immediately and then gives practice ones to make sure my son understands the process.
