ACT Prep
While the SAT prides itself on judging a student's intellectual rigor, the ACT tends to focus on skills directly taught in school. Though this distinction is often overstated, it is real, and some students would do well to consider taking the ACT.

Review of Seattle SAT Coaching, February 26, 2009
Ever wonder who can get a perfect score on the SAT? Well, this tutor can, and he shares his knowledge enthusiastically with students. Brandon is self-effacing and very approachable, putting kids at ease immediately. He works through problems with them with kindness and patience. My daughter's geometry skills and math confidence have steadily improved with Brandon's help. Another child of mine benefitted from his tips for taking the SAT and ACT standardized tests. His help contributed to her significantly improving her scores.

I love coaching students.
You'd think test-prep would be the dullest career imaginable -- indeed, we who teach it are often relegated to the lowest rung on the educational ladder: the scum-sucking bottom feeders of the teaching pond. And, frankly, sometimes this characterization is spot-on! Test-prep is usually dull, routine, and soulless; the antithesis to everything good education strives to be.
(I do things a little differently.)
After graduating from Arizona State, I discovered that I had a gift for teaching. Working at a tutoring center in Scottsdale, Arizona, I found myself being specially requested by students from preschool to college. I often excelled with the angry, disaffected teens that other tutors shied away from. The center's director asked me to be the exclusive tutor of his 7th grade son. My joy was treating students as mature adults, engaging them at the highest possible intellectual level.
After working there, I took on a number of wonderful odd-jobs: teaching existentialism to middle schoolers, entrancing bored high schoolers with Native American religious cosmology, and confronting kindergarteners with the radical, and sometimes bizarre, morality of the Jewish and Christian traditions.
My ultimate goal is to become a classroom teacher -- to be a phenomenal humanities instructor at a private school or homeschooling co-op. I want to teach history, philosophy, earth science, sociology, world religions, art, literature, and math, though not necessarily in that order!
While I prepare to do that, though, I coach students.
It's a delight.
