In preparation for the chemistry subject test, I worked with a tutor from a large, expensive firm. All he managed to do was stress me out as the material continued to go over my head. I did not do well on that test. First, my track record working with you is impeccable. Two attempts at the SAT to reach my goal; the first two subjects tests I took also reached my goal. Second, the reason behind this success comes from your presence in general. You are reassuring and calming. When a kid is freaking out about an impending deadline or what have you, you are always there to convince them that it will be okay, to just relax and realize that we can work the system. Third, many people are big on doing a bunch of work to prepare, when that just ends up being busy work that accomplishes little. You make sure we do efficient and necessary work and nothing more. That is not to say that we do little work, because in the college application process, the necessary amount of work is significant. Fourth, you are a great writer and you come up with fantastic essay ideas that really sell the kids. Fifth, your charisma and ability to read people helps you immensely in making both students and parents trust you.
