Experience
Tutoring is a skill. In my four years of test prep tutoring, here's how I've built it:
I worked for a private agency, where I tutored one-on-one and group classes, trained other tutors, and designed the curriculum.
I spent a semester tutoring at my Alma Mater, James S. Rickards High School with the GEARUP program.
I was the sole instructor for a full semester SAT Course at the Maclay School, through a local test prep agency.
Scores
If you don't know the material, you can't teach the test. Here's how I've performed on tests I teach:
LSAT: 170 (98th percentile)
GRE: Verbal 165, Math 170*, Essay 6.0*
SAT**: Verbal 800*, Math 750
* indicates a perfect score
** indicates an older version of the test than is currently offered

Testimonials
"I went from 73rd to 90th percentile in six weeks, for $1600 less than a Kaplan course."
Matt Zoberman, LSAT Student
"Getting a good score on the SAT and ACT is no easy task, and I never would have been able to do it without
the help of Justis. Just a few months of tutoring helped me raise my SAT score 300 points!"
Kyle Matheu, SAT Student
"I've had tutors for a plethora of standardized exams, but none of them were as effective as Justis.
His tutoring is tailored specifically to prepare you for the exam.
The strategies that he teaches are all practical and simple, yet so so effective."
