About Me

I am a graduate of the public history program at the University of South Carolina, where I received an M.A. I am pursuing a career in historic preservation, because buildings and structures crucial to maintaining the culture of local and national society are constantly threatened. Throughout my graduate and undergraduate education, I worked in a teaching capacity, teaching sections of United States and Latin American History courses. With high scores being so crucial to student acceptance to top college programs, I am passionate about sharing the tips and strategies that helped me succeed on standardized tests. I especially enjoy teaching the Math sections of exams, because the subject boils down to learning and memorizing strategies that can be broadly applied. My strategy for standardized test preparation comes down to preparing the student not only for the material itself, but also for the experience of taking the tests. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, card and board games, and watching NBA basketball.

Hobbies & Interests

Learning songs from the 70s and 80s on the piano, mastering board and card games, contributing to the preservation of historically significant strutures.

Q&A with Max

My teaching philosophy for test preparation is to make the student comfortable with the test material, as well as the experience of taking the test itself. Doing well on a standardized test is an intellectual endeavor, but the tests are designed to test your test-taking ability as well. I aim to improve both attributes in my students.
