Sylvan Learning of Madison Heights

SpecialtiesMy name is Ian McHugh, and I am a Staunton-based SAT/PSAT tutor who serves the local community. Why am I qualified to help teach your student? 1. I am a homeschooled senior who took the SAT last spring. I took the test three times and raised my score by 200 points. My final SAT score was in the 99th percentile, with 750+ points in both the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math sections. 2. I tutor at Blue Ridge Community College and have helped teach my four younger siblings for years. I am easy to get along with and connect well with different personalities. 3. Because I studied for and took the test last year, I know the ins and outs of studying for the SAT as a high schooler more than most older tutors do. 4. I am not trying to sell you a particular program (like Princeton Review cough, cough), and I will only use materials I know work best (spoiler- the free stuff from the college board). 5. I am not going to pretend that there are easy tricks to unlocking the SAT. There are no hidden shortcuts (although there are helpful strategies I can provide to take your testing game to the next level). Contact me for rates and availability. I look forward to helping with your SAT preparation!
