About Me

Experience Summary

I consider myself to be a uniquely seasoned, qualified, and experienced tutor who can adapt to any situation and to any student in order to benefit their education and learning experience. Due to my ability to teach and tutor children and adults of all ages, (in addition to my own near-perfect scores on the SAT & ACT) I was one of the first Instructors hired by PrepExpert, a national company that specializes in preparing students for the SAT, ACT, AP, other exams, and simply for help in regular classes at all levels. This company is so successful and growing so fast because of the unparalleled improvements among students that it recently appeared on ABC's show "Shark Tank," during which Mark Cuban was impressed enough to buy a substantial stake in the company and is a current partner. If you would like to view my profile and read real testimonials from my former students, visit the company's website at www.PrepExpert.com. Over the years I have taught virtually every academic discipline, served as a T.A. at my alma mater, the University of Southern California. But my specialty is in tutoring/preparing students to take any type of college entrance exam or standardized exam, such as the SAT, ACT, SAT II, AP, LSAT, Teacher's Certification, and GRE. This Fall I will continue my PhD in Political Science-International Relations at UNLV and have a love for both learning and teaching. I have tutored for the past ten years in various areas of study, both common and unique, but have focused primarily on the above-mentioned exams. The foundation of my ability to teach effectively is simply based on my own natural talents but most importantly on the training I received throughout my education. I personally scored in the 99th percentile on my SAT and ACT exams, and a 329 composite score on the GRE after college. In multiple AP exams at Durango High School in Las Vegas, NV, I scored a 5/5 in AP English, AP American & World History, AP Spanish, AP Government, and AP Calculus among others. Although I am uniquely qualified and experienced in preparing individuals to excel in standardized exams, especially the SAT & ACT. (In fact, if you would like to view my credentials, past results, and feedback from prior students, please feel free to visit the website of my current employer at www.PrepExpert.com and find my name Abraham Shebah under the SAT and ACT classes in Las Vegas, NV as well as in the private tutoring section. If I can fit you or child into my schedule, however, I am perfectly willing and would love to tutor you or your child in routine exams, reports, essays, projects, or simply in a longer capacity as serving as their "2nd" teacher in what may be a particularly challenging class. On a personal level, I am the eldest of four children and the father of an autistic child and have learned to teach with virtually endless patience and empathy. I have learned that while a tutor must push his students, he must also progress at a rate which allows the student to learn most effectively and retain the information permanently as opposed to just absorbing information only to expel it from the mind once it is no longer needed to, for example, pass an exam or perform a speech in front of the class. I believe that memorizing is NOT learning. With that being said, I truly don't believe that anyone can learn anything without being comfortable and at ease. I like to have fun with my students, whether we are meeting in person or on-line. It is important to always keep a sense of humor and realize that no matter how much pressure a student may be under, it is my job as his or her tutor to remind them that the world will not end if they are trying their best but simply need more time and practice to learn the information. Most of the time, pressure paralyzes the mind and more specifically paralyzes the brain's ability to consume and retain new information. I realize that every student is different, so if I can promise one thing, I can promise this: I will push your child to work hard but also make it fun and treat him or her as an equal. I will adjust to his or her pace once I determine what that is and then make adjustments based on my vast experience working with students of all ages, personalities, abilities, and even learning disabilities. I will always treat them with respect and most importantly, I can guarantee that we will meet our agreed upon goals: IF NOT, I WILL GRANT YOU A FULL REFUND, NO EXCEPTIONS! So please feel free to email me anytime with any questions or if you would like to know more about me. Thank You! Sincerely, Abraham S. avi83@aol.com

Subject Commentary

ACT This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I have worked for several college entrance exam preparation companies as well as independently, and I have learned a great amount in each capacity. I personally scored in the 99th percentile on both the ACT and SAT, which helped me earn a full scholarship to the University of Southern California. But if you visit my current employer at www.PrepExpert.com and read my profile and some of the feedback from my former students, you will see why I am one of the most sought-after SAT & ACT instructors in the nation. I tutor both in-person in my hometown of Las Vegas, NV and tutor online as well. So if you are interested, feel free to contact me anytime at avi83@aol.com
ADD/ADHD Proficiency: Experienced
Growing up with a cousin my age who was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, I am fully aware of their possible behaviors and am able to manage their symptoms safely (both for them and myself)and calmly. I have, on numerous occasions, diffused tantrums caused by the ADD and once calm returned, continued with the activity (in tutoring situations, the lesson.)
Algebra Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, especially Algebra I, because it is probably my single best subject. If you allow me to tutor you in Algebra, I can guarantee that your grades will increase and your test scores will as well. I have always been very good at math, but for some reason Algebra has always just made sense to me. My prior students (if you want to speak to them)can attest to just how effective my classes or one-on-ones are. And on top of that, we manage to have fun at the same time!
Algebra I Proficiency: Expert

American History Proficiency: Expert
American History is one of my most knowledgeable subjects and out of all the students I have had over the years, history has been one of the most improved-upon subjects, which translated to better grades and higher exam scores on that subject.
Anatomy Proficiency: Experienced
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Anatomy.
Basic Learning Skills Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Basic Learning Skills.
Biology Proficiency: Experienced
Biology is one of those subjects that is taught in what seems like every grade and college as well, with the subject matter increasing in difficulty every year. I believe, in fact, that this method is the most effective that we currently have. But there are many problems that have left so many students behind. The source of the problem is that if a student has one single semester that they do poorly in Biology for whatever reason, it creates an endless loop of failure because for that student, they are way behind during the next year of Biology and therefore fail or barely pass that semester or year of Biology again, and that vicious cycle just revolves again and again. That is why private tutoring must pick up the slack and make sure that every student catches up to where they are scheduled to be until we can make some changes to our educational system.
Chemistry Proficiency: Experienced
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Chemistry, both in the lecture hall and in the laboratory.
Communications Proficiency: Experienced
I took a communications course in college and would be able to tutor you in that subject, just as I have for the many before you.
Composition Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including English Composition. I have all the tools necessary to be successful in this area:perfect vocabulary and grammar,interesting subject matter,structure,perfect prose,and a well-thought out and argued idea or underlying message. For example, when we all first read Huckleberry Finn (maybe it was just me because I read it at a very early age,) we thought it was simply a story about a black man and a young white boy running away from home and getting into trouble and comedic situations along the way. Now though, we know it was about slavery and Huck and his slave friend's attempt to escape to freedom. The successful Composition of the best of those types of stories involve hiding the true story of the book or story in the words until the reader finishes the novel and realizes the book was much more complicated and "deep" than he thought while he was reading it.
Creative Writing Proficiency: Experienced
I exceedingly enjoy creative writing, and have a talent for grading creative writing, a subject that is very difficult to critique. However, I am able to make improvements upon other individual's writings, and have had a fair amount of experience teaching it. And as an extremely creative and imaginative person, that definitely translates to an important qualification to the tutoring of creative writing.
Earth Science Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Earth Science. In fact I also taught it to 8th graders in middle school for an entire academic year.
Elementary Proficiency: Experienced
I have tutored many subjects and age groups for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary-age students.
Elementary Grammar Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary Grammar.
Elementary Math Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary Math.
Elementary Reading Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary Reading. In fact, I am currently trying to teach my 5-year-old son to read.
Elementary Science Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary Science. In fact, I just started showing my 5-year-old autistic son some cool science projects that produce many colors, because autistic children love colors.
Elementary Social Studies Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects with many age groups, including elementary-school-age for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary Social Studies.
Elementary Study Skills Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects with many age groups, including elementary-school-aged, for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary Study Skills.
Elementary Vocabulary Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects with many age groups, including elementary-school-aged, for over 10 years with exceptional and quantifiable results, including Elementary Vocabulary.
English Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including English and the many ways we use it. As your tutor I can teach you to use English correctly while writing, while speaking, while translating, and while using it any other possible way a human might utilize our language.
Geography Proficiency: Expert
Based first and foremost on my studies of geography in academia, I have also become an expert in geography both in modern times and in the geography and national border-lines of the past due to my extensive and long travels through America, Central, Latin & South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, learning the histories of each region as I passed through. The only place I have yet to visit is Africa.
Geometry Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Geometry, a subject in which I would humbly consider myself the perfect tutor.
Government Proficiency: Expert
As a Political Science major at the University of Southern California, and a current PhD student in the subject, all of my core classes focused on politics and government. In addition, as evidenced in my resume, politically I identify myself as an independent and have spent literally thousands of hours since I was in high school interning and helping campaign for political office-seekers or their rival incumbents. At times I supported Democrats and at other times I supported Republicans or Independents. I am well-versed in government and am an extremely capable and informative tutor in the subject.
Grammar Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, especially grammar. I know virtually every rule of grammar. I learned the majority of it from teachers and professors, but the rest of it I learned from my training as an SAT and ACT instructor. As you know, both exams test students on virtually every grammar rule, ranging from the correct use of punctuation to vocabulary, subject-verb agreement to incorrectly using redundant language. I literally could go on and on, but the point is that I scored in the 99th Percentile on both the SAT & ACT, and along with well-written and grammatically-sound essays, was awarded a full scholarship to the University of Southern California. And it would be my honor to help other students attain their goals, but unfortunately if they involve college, they will need to score very well on the verbal sections of the SAT and ACT exams.
GRE Proficiency: Expert
I am currently a doctoral student in a program that only admitted 8 students, so needless to say I had to do very well on my GRE. But after being a tutor for years, I realized it's not how long you study but how well you study. As a result, I spent only one month studying and taking practice exams and took the GRE once, scoring a 329 combined verbal and quantitative. Ever since, I have also tutored countless graduate school hopefuls with results that make my job very fulfilling.
Inorganic Chemistry Proficiency: Experienced
If by "Inorganic Chemistry" they mean regular chemistry, I have over 10 years of tutoring the subject and three semesters of taking Chemistry 1,2, and 3 in college.
Language Arts Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including the Language Arts and the countless ways we use it. As your tutor I can teach you to use language correctly while writing,speaking, translating, and while using it any other possible way a human might utilize our language. In addition, I would teach a student how Language Arts can be used in ways we never even imagined.
Law Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including the law, although I would not be able to tutor law students who are past their first year in law school. I attended UNLV's Boyd School of Law on an academic scholarship for one full academic year before I came to the realization deep-down that being a lawyer was not for me. So if you are a law student and can bring your case-law books, I will definitely be able to effectively help you, because during the year I was at Boyd, I did attain excellent grades and was even first in my class in my Tort Law Course. For those student who are not in law school I can definitely help you. In addition to the law I learned at the Boyd School of Law, I also interned at a law firm for two summers, an took several law-related courses in college. The law can be a very intimidating subject to study, but I guarantee that if I tutor you, I can show you how the law is just the study of history and logic.
Life Science Proficiency: Experienced
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including the Life Sciences.
Literature Proficiency: Experienced
Along with studying American and foreign literature for years, I have tutored students in the intricacies of literature. Most of the best novels ever written have been written by people we have never heard of because they were marginalized by society because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many worshiped the "wrong" God or had the "wrong" skin color or chose to love the "wrong" gender or were of the "wrong" social status or class. Such authors who wrote amazing novels and plays but who were ostracized during their lifetimes and still became famous were Oscar Wilde and Tennessee Williams, Walt Whitman, T.S.Eliot, Truman Capote, and Virginia Woolf, but the vast majority of timeless literature was written by perfectly "normal" people. If I am granted the privilege to tutor you in Literature, we will not only read the material, but dissect it, examine each line closely to try to get into the mind of the author, and attempt to write some material as close as we can to that author's style and composition.
Logic Proficiency: Expert
The subject or idea of "Logic" is interesting because it has no boundaries. Logic intrudes on every academic subject and forces us to follow it if we want to succeed both in those academic subjects and in life in general.
LSAT Proficiency: Expert
To be honest, I don't remember my exact score when I took the LSAT as a senior in college. However, I do know it was high enough to receive offers of admissions to several respected law schools. And even though I left law school after less than one semester to instead pursue a PhD, I have learned after both taking and tutoring the SAT, ACT, GRE, and LSAT, that they are all virtually the same exam but with varying difficulty. Because I have been so successful at taking the SAT & ACT (99th percentile on both) and the GRE (a 329), I can confidently say that I am able to do well on these exams. However, if you take a look at my profile and feedback given by students I have tutored with my current employer at www.PrepExpert.com, you will see that I am also a very effective tutor. And again, I spoke mainly about the SAT,ACT, and GRE, I can guarantee that the LSAT (while it may vary slightly in structure,) tests the same if not easier material than the GRE and I will be able to help you succeed in reaching your LSAT goal.
Math Proficiency: Expert
The general term of "Math" is an umbrella that covers and includes Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, and countless others, in which I have personally done very well and have improved the scores of my students. For example,(I mention this in the Statistics section,) but while I was a student at the University of Southern California, I received an A+ in a senior-level Statistics course as a freshman and all the upper-classmen were so mad at me and I assume regretted that they didn't invite me to their study groups, LOL. Anyway, if you choose me as your tutor, I will be able to help you in almost every math subject and I can guarantee you will learn a lot more from me than from your teachers or on your own. And I say "almost every math subject" instead of "every math subject" because I promise there are math subjects that are so advanced that neither you or I have heard of nevermind will ever be taught. But if we work together, you will see that your math grades and test scores will (depending on where you are at) take a huge or a modest jump and you will have a new confidence in being able to tackle math problems on your own.
Physics Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Physics. In fact, I don't remember what grades I received, but I took Physics I & II as well Astrophysics in college and graduate school.
Physiology Proficiency: Experienced
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Physiology.
Political Science This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
As explained above, I was a political science major in college because I was intrigued with the American Democratic system of government and held such respect for a nation and a government, that with all its pitfalls, would peacefully hand over the powers and trappings of government every 4 years. Every time I watch a Presidential Inauguration I am so proud and moved that with all that is at stake and against our human nature to just take what we want and make excuses later, there is not a single tank or soldier marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to take over the government. For a nation of almost 400 million people to adhere to the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power is inspiring and sacred. Our Founding Fathers got that much right. I would be the perfect tutor of Political Science because of my passion for it, my knowledge of it, and my ability to help people understand the hierarchy of political power,from a mayor or county commissioner to a governor to a congressman and senator to the President of the United States and our nation's political relationship with foreign nations. It is all very complex, and I know I can break it down and explain it to everyone to the point that everyone I tutor will leave my class with a new outlook on the United States of America.
Pre-Algebra Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored mathematics for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Pre-Algebra.
Pre-Calculus Proficiency: Expert
Pre-Calculus is one of the more difficult elements of math to learn, but I have mastered the subject over the years and successfully tutored students in Pre-Calculus for years, preparing them to do well in the advanced and complex course of Calculus.
Psychology
Although I have never taken a course in Psychology nor have I tutored the subject, I truly believe I am an expert in Psychology because I am a little bit crazy. :)Just Kidding, Really...
Public Relations Proficiency: Expert
As your tutor I would be very effective in teaching you public relations and how and when to implement the tools and weapons they possess. Although I took PR courses in college, my real experience in Public Relations came from working as a PR Consultant for one company and as the head of a Public Relations office for a larger company. I am a tested and experienced teacher, and if I tutor you, I can guarantee that you will learn things about the real world of public relations that you never even dreamed of.
Reading Proficiency: Expert
My passions for literature and writing obviously go hand in hand with reading. I have taught and tutored reading for several years now, and I believe my ability to teach the subject is at an all time high. In fact, out of curiosity I recently took a sample test of the Reading portion of the SAT and to my surprise achieved nearly a perfect score.
Reading Comprehension Proficiency: Expert
My Abilities & Experiences concerning Reading Comprehension is nearly identical to those of Reading in general: My passions for literature and writing obviously go hand in hand with reading. I have taught and tutored writing for several years now, and I believe my ability to teach the subject is at an all time high. In fact, out of curiousity I recently took a sample test of the Reading portion of the SAT and to my surprise achieved nearly a perfect score.
SAT - Math This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I have worked for several college entrance exam preparation companies as well as independently, and I have learned a great amount in each capacity. I personally scored in the 99th percentile on both the ACT and SAT, which helped me earn a full scholarship to the University of Southern California. But if you visit my current employer at www.PrepExpert.com and read my profile and some of the feedback from my former students, you will see why I am one of the most sought-after SAT & ACT instructors in the nation. I tutor both in-person in my hometown of Las Vegas, NV and tutor online as well. So if you are interested, feel free to contact me anytime at avi83@aol.com (SAT-Verbal is also one of my Top Subjects, but I am limited to listing only 3)

Science Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including General Science.
Shakespeare Proficiency: Experienced
Although I wish I knew the intricacies of Shakespeare's works, the plays that my tutors and I have read and even acted out loud by reading each character's lines out loud, have been absolutely wonderful. When I think of Shakespeare's writings, one word always comes to mind: perfection. I truly hope I can teach you some of his masterpieces such as Hamlet, Romeo&Juliet, A MidSummer Night's Dream, Julius Caesar, Henry VIII, The Tempest, A Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew and so many more. In truth, the fact that he was able to write so many intricate and balanced masterpieces is in itself remarkable. We would have so much fun reading his plays and learning about them at the same time!
Social Studies Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Social Studies and all the subjects it entails.
Sociology Proficiency: Experienced
Although I only took two semesters of Sociology in college, they were taught by a very intense and demanding professor who assigned a lot of work and books to read, and formulated incredibly difficult exams, I aced both classes, and tutored Sociology for over 10 years. So basically, I believe I a more than qualified to teach the subject more than competently.
Spanish Proficiency: Experienced
Although because my mother and her side of the family was from Santiago, Chile, I was exposed to Spanish at a very young age. But because only English was spoken at home, I would say that my skills in the language are due to that early exposure and then due solely to my education. I took three years of Spanish in high school, including AP Spanish, and scoring a 5/5 on the AP exam. My Spanish at that point was so advanced because I caught on so fast and had spent my teens speaking to my aunts and grandmother in Spanish, I was able to test out of 4 semesters of Spanish at the University of Southern California, satisfying my foreign language requirement for graduation. I therefore was lucky to not only earn a full scholarship to USC, but to also graduate an entire year early. Since then, I have spent almost 10 years tutoring students and adults in Spanish at all levels and for all reasons, whether it be for classes, exams, or for an adult's desire to learn Spanish to become a more competitive job applicant. In conclusion, while I admit I may not be completely fluent, I am able to say confidently that I am an experienced and competent Spanish-speaker and teacher. Because after all, I think it is much more helpful to a student to be taught by a sub-fluent Spanish speaker who knows how to teach the language than by a fluent speaker who has no idea how hard it is to learn the language and therefore is unable to teach it very well.
Speaking Proficiency: Expert
I am an excellent public speaker because I have an enormous amount of experience and most importantly in public speaking, an endless amount of confidence. Serving as a USC Student Senator, as a member of my high school's student council, and as the President and Vice President of my youth group has provided me countless hours to give speeches and speak publicly, because practice is a priceless commodity. In terms of public speaking itself, one must speak calmly and clearly, keep their body language neutral and not threatening or challenging (unless this is intended.) Also, one must speak intelligently, continuously making valid and logical points so that the point of their speaking is understood and their speech is not wasted or given in vain. For me, public speaking was initially extremely intimidating and scary. I would stand up, and without exception, lock up, begin shaking slightly, and become unable to speak a single word. With the help of those older than me and those who were comfortable speaking in front of crowds of one hundred or three, I was able to learn how to speak like them. Also, and maybe most importantly, they of course practiced with me privately, but also forced me to speak in front of those large groups that I mentioned in the beginning of this passage. Ironically enough, if it wasn't for them, I would never have been able to be a teacher and later a tutor.
Spelling Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with excellent results, including the subject of spelling. I would be a superb spelling tutor because frankly, I am a wonderful speller. Humorously enough, in the 7th grade I vividly remember winning my middle school's spelling bee and feeling extra proud and I must admit a bit cocky because not only did I win the bee, but I won it as a 7th grader, beating all the 8th graders. Its so funny the things we remember. Anyway, I would consider spelling and vocabulary to be some of my strongest intellectual attributes.
Statistics Proficiency: Expert
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Statistics. In fact, at USC I received an A+ in a senior-level Statistics course as a freshman.
Trigonometry Proficiency: Experienced
I have tutored many subjects for over 10 years with exceptional success, including Trigonometry. I have to admit,though, that I am slightly out-of-practice in the subject because I have not tutored it in several years. I can guarantee, however, that if I am hired as a Trigonometry teacher I will be prepared to teach the subject so effectively that you will be begging me to slow down my instruction and analysis. :)
World History Proficiency: Expert
For the same reason American History is one of my most knowledgeable subjects, World History is too. And World History is a subject that, without sounding too arrogant (because I truly am not) I have mastered and have and will be able to transfer that knowledge further.
Writing Proficiency: Expert
From the time I was a very young child I was able to write well and express what I was thinking on paper. In fact in the 5th grade I remember that every student was required to take the same test. A few weeks later, about ten student were called into a particular classroom where we were surprised to see our parents. It turned out that the test was an aptitude test and we were the highest scoring students and I learned that I scored a perfect score on the writing and grammar portion of the test. Obviously I was only in the 5th grade, but throughout my academic career I always did well in writing. I got an A in English Composition, an A in AP English, got a 5 out of 5 in the AP English exam, and received a perfect score on the writing section of the ACT. I don't remember my exact score, but I also did extremely well on the writing section of the LSAT's. I hope to be able to use my writing skills to help you improve your writing abilities, and I know if we work together, meaning I keep my patience and you don't let your frustration get in the way of your goals, we will succeed without a doubt.
