Tests:
PSAT, SAT, SSAT, ISEE, PRAXIS Subjects: Literature & Writing

Philosophy:
People like challenges-- except when they expect to not surmount them. Given familiarity with involved processes and the confidence to use them, however, standardized tests can be as enjoyable as a soccer game, a video game or a Sudoku puzzle (pick your poison). My goal as a tutor is to figure out how each student learns best and what sets her or him at ease: not only to discover the fun but also, ultimately, to help positively influence the student's idea of herself or himself as a test-taker and a learner.

Bio:
Erin took her Praxis II Exam while violently ill and her GRE while far from home on Christmas Eve, so she knows something about less-than-ideal conditions. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Tennessee with a BA in Literature and studied Secondary Education at the Johns Hopkins University. She has worked as an ESL tutor, an academic tutor and a volunteer public school teacher; she now pursues an MA in Literature at the American University while working toward the solution of the problem of everything with tenacity and meritorious good humor.
