Company Description:
    The LSAT tutoring business is going strong lately. Over the last year  I have worked with several dozen students in private tutoring, many of whom improved there scores significantly as a result of my help.  I have also improved my teaching style and gained some important insights into how to help students master this test. 
    Recently I have gone back to teaching math and science as well.  This kind of tutoring is in some ways more rewarding because it gives me the chance to work with younger kids to help them build their confidence with difficult subjects and improve their study habits in the process.
