With both standardized and AP tests, I often encourage my students to look beyond the content. I use questions beyond the test level to solidify my students' understanding and often ask them to explain concepts in their own words such that they can think about topics coherently in their own words.Following the supervision system Cambridge employs, I often lead students through more of a discussion, talking about topics in different ways to ensure their understanding and linking separate topics in such a way that they all mould together. Only when I feel that my students' understanding is at an appropriate level do I begin to present them with practice questions. By that point, these questions are second nature to them.

Tutoring Experience
Teaching the course for four years already and being a Teaching Assistant, I specialize in AP Stats specifically but have been tutoring most AP STEM subjects for three years now. Having taken and scored a 5 in all AP STEM subjects besides Physics and APES, I've undertaken the challenging AP curriculum and have been more than happy to help others along the same path. Moreover, after scoring a 35 on the ACT twice, I've been tutoring others in preparing for standardized tests for the last year. Not only teaching the actual content, but the strategies and skills required to perform well on a test.
