Personal Statement

Teaching is one of my passions. As a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I treasure education. In fact, I agree with Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the University of Pennsylvania, who said, ?An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.? Education has been the pathway to a more satisfying and empowered life for just about everyone I know.

I am a former teacher and homeschooler with decades of teaching experience at all levels (K-12). I have a B. S. in Education, with a min...

Reviews

Angela is a very knowledgeable teacher and has years of experience. I appreciate her teaching style. I feel confident my daughter will do well with her Reading SSAT.
- Marsha M. from Atlanta, GA
My daughter is happy after her first lesson and feels she will learn a lot with Angela. She is patient and explains how to understand what she is doing which is what my daughter needs.
- Chrissy P. from Charles Town, WV
Takes time to allow you to process what you need and allows you to work and comprehend what the answers are. Begins with giving a strong foundation of knowledge, and material before she proceeds with questions.
- Maha A. from Wichita, KS
Angela was extremely helpful and made the process feel smooth and easy! She is very knowledgeable and knows how to explain the subject in a clear manner!
- Ruslan Z. from Kissimmee, FL
She taught me various methods in all subjects. My scores improved verbal up 36% Quantitative up 52% Reading up 5% and overall up 34%. I think this speaks for itself. I only had one week of training due to time constraints and I improved beyond any expectations of myself or parents. I highly recommend Angela. Jacob

My daughter received remote tutoring for SSAT from Angela for 2 months. She is a good teacher. She can explain concepts well and engage the student to pay attention. She seems very knowledgeable with the topic. I do feel she is disorganized and not detail oriented. She cancelled our first tutoring session 24 hours after scheduling it and she didn?t how up for another session. I understand she had a family emergency but I feel she still should have texted me to cancel the appointment. We arranged our whole day around the tutoring session during our vacation so it was disappointing she didn?t show up. She also kept calling my daughter and me by different names and misspelled our daughter?s name repeatedly. We worked with her for 2 months and felt she should have gotten our names right. It was also strange she would not turn on the video during the video calls. My daughter could only hear her voice and not see her face. It was already difficult tutoring remotely and not being able to see her face made it impersonal and not as effective.

Angela worked with my daughter for about a month, 3 times a week, to prep her for the ISEE exam. She really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommed Angela.
- Simma L. from New York, NY
Angela not only has an enviable breadth and depth of knowledge of the subject matter, but she knows how to motivate and encourage my daughter to work hard at learning the subjects that she normally likes the least. Angela also is highly skilled at pacing, she knows how much material can be reviewed productively per session. My daughter has not taken the SSAT yet, but her work with Angela has already increased her confidence and her understanding enormously.
- Aphrodite K. from Portland, OR
Angela is very thorough, patient and knowledgeable. She taught my daughter to think critically in preparation for ACT testing. Easy to work with.
- Shamala N. from Papillion, NE
Ms. Angela helps my son with preparing for SSAT exams. We started from a place of very limited knowledge of requirements needed to take this exams. Ms. Angela?s approach was very structured: provided a general overview of the exams, as well as strategies to solve each section in a timely manner, whiles ensuring accuracy. My son has benefited from her services. Highly recommended!!
- Lauretta K. from Burke, VA
We needed someone who is well equipped to help my daughter with the SSAT, and Angela definitely fit the bill. It is clear she has significant teaching experience and expertise in this exam as well.

Angela is very thorough, patient and knowledgeable. She taught my daughter to think critically in preparation for ACT testing. Easy to work with.
- Shamala N. from Papillion, NE
Angela is very professional and knowledgeable about SSAT prep. She can also provide strategies and coaching for private school interviews. My son finds the sessions enjoyable and helpful, and that is quite an endorsement from a 13 year old boy doing an hour and a half math tutoring session! We recommend Angela without reservation. She is excellent!
- Allison T. from Winchester, MA
So far, Tutor Angela has taught me some handy tricks and tips for analogies, synonyms, and reading on the SSAT. She always answers my questions and she is patient. I feel like I have improved as far as reading, analogies, and synonyms goes. She is the best tutor that I have had so far for SSAT prep. Angela from Juneau, AK
- Angela H. from Juneau, AK
My son loves to work with Angela. He normally does not say much about how the classes were but every time he finishes lesson with her, he cannot stop talking how the session went. We are so lucky to find her.
- Tomoyo S. from Brookline, MA
Mrs Angela has been working with me on SSAT tutoring. Most recently, we have been working on my weakest areas--vocab & reading. She is a great tutor. She is helpful, patient, but is gently stern enough to support and encourage me while reminding me to take time, read the question, ask myself what is being asked, and then answer. She is also showing me where I am making errors and having me talk myself through it so that I can do it when she is not there. I have more confidence now.
- Ottrell E. from Atlanta, GA
Angela tutors my son and he states he is learning new ways to take the SAT test and some great tips. He said Angela helps him a lot and he enjoys working with her.
- Javona J. from Mckinney, TX
Angela is very professional and accommodating, she works with the parent and the child to set goals and help your child achieve them and prepare for standardized testing.
- Kia C. from Waldorf, MD
We just had our first session with Angela and my sons have both said they feel they can get a higher score after just one session. I look forward to seeing their improvement. Angela is very articulate and thoughtful and has many good tips for how to improve SAT scores. Very pleased so far.
- Jordan M. from Barrington, RI
My son recently had his first SSAT prep session with Angela. I feel very confident that working with Angela will make a big difference in his readiness for the test. She is highly organized and knowledgeable about the nature of the content, as well as typical student approaches/behaviors when taking the SSAT. I really appreciated how she checked with him to see what his reasoning was when selecting an answer. She conveys a strong sense of expertise while at the same time respect for my son's thinking.
