History
For more than 30 years, I have worked as the founder of Prince Learning tutoring service, an Assistant Professor of English at Skyline College, and a workshop leader at Gonzaga, Stanford and De Anza. I started by teaching and tutoring SAT and ACT prep, progressed to verbal sections of numerous other tests (GMAT, GRE, LSAT, and MCAT), and added PSAT, SSAT, CBEST, and CSET prep. In addition, I tutor and teach speed-reading, study and note taking skills, and grammar, writing, and vocabulary improvement. Over the years, I have developed combined programs (e.g., speed-reading and test prep), always tailoring all work to meet the needs and goals of individual clients.
