i'm the harvard guy. ive been tutoring since i was 15. i'm a great tutor - the best honestly. on average i bring my students' scores up 400+ points.

that's why i don't believe anyone is stupid or a brainlet or that anypone is just a math guy or a english guy. anyone can learn anything.

if you were my student i'd guarantee you getting that 1500.

a little tactic i used was giving students who didn't think they were intelligent the hardest sat problems and let them solve it on their time. i wouldn't time anyone until the very end because then it becomes an endurance thing. but before all that the mos timportant thing is for the kid to be able to figure it out his or herself.

that's confidence in self-efficacy.

i also learn about my students and present things to them in ways they understand on an individual level. i got one student to learn vocab because he liked to rap and i introduced him to aesop rock and gza and we spoke of rhyme and meter.

i often tutor things that i study myself because the best way to learn is to teach.
