I started teaching math fresh out of high school when I was 15. From then on, I continued teaching (mostly math) as a side job until I graduated from college. After college, I worked in my field for some time, but then, after travelling for a while, started tutoring for the GMAT exam in 2013, and for the SAT in 2014. I also worked for some language institutions as a ESL teacher, but then went back to tutoring for exams, which is what I like the most. I've worked in many academies and with many different methods, and finally decided to put a name to my own method (which is a combination of the many different things I've learnt and others that I "found out" myself).

I don't waste class time with activities my students could just do by themselves (reading long passages, taking practice tests), and I actually encourage my students to do most of the work at home. I think most students don't really need to spend many hours with a tutor, and a tutor should be there just to guide and solve specific issues a student may come up with.

I understand the needs of my students and, most importantly, understand that they need to reach their goal score in a test, so we focus on that. The idea is to study for the specific test that they need, to understand the way of the test, and follow it.
