About Terry

I appreciate the importance of clearly explaining the subject matter being learned and answering every question until my students are completely comfortable with the topics being discussed. Students appreciate my preparation and individualized lesson plans which increases the quality of our time together and maximizes learning concepts and facts. I always try to make learning fun and a positive experience. Most of my students score 1350 or higher on the SAT and 34 or higher on the ACT. I also teach students with learning disabilities. I am a patient, caring and concerned tutor acutely aware of each students unique needs and learning capabilities. When I am not teaching college or tutoring students I enjoy exercising and playing golf. I have played golf for over 20 years but I have never broken 100. I guarantee you...I am a much better tutor than I am a golfer!
