Maximize your ACT and SAT scores!

After receiving a BS in Psychology from Michigan State University in 1991, I put my analytical skills and nurturing personality to work as an ACT and SAT coach. During forays into the corporate world over the next several years, I continued to tutor part-time, eventually helping to found Advantage Education® in 1997. Since then, I have worked with thousands of high school students in both a private and classroom setting, helping them to maximize their ACT and SAT scores. My sense of humor and down-to-earth style allow me to connect with my students and make learning fun.

A Little Bit About Me...

I began my teaching experience as a teacher assistant at a pre-school program in undergraduate school.While at undergraduate school, I also was asked by a professor to become the tutor for two of his courses.

After graduating,I decided to continue voluntarily tutoring at a program out in Oregon. Lastly, I also feel comfortable tutoring some Spanish, as I took 6 years of Spanish in high school and a couple of courses during college.
