Rutgers University- Douglass College
I teach for Rev Prep because I love seeing the click on everyone's faces when they realize they can make the SAT bend to their will...plus I particularly enjoy making fun of CollegeBoard--they are, in fact, evil.
I love to travel and am constantly searching cheap flights to see where I can run away to for a weekend. I feel most at home in the water and smell perpetually of chlorine because of my daily swims...I also have a weakness for silly chick flicks and romantic comedies and I like my popcorn with Raisinets mixed in...yum...

Washington Township, NJ
Skidmore College
I graduated from Skidmore College with a degree in theater and was a member of the school's two comedy groups. After graduating I left the east coast with the intention of heading out to Los Angeles to become a huge star. As fate would have it, I stopped in Chicago for a few days and never left. I spent several years in Chicago studying and performing improvisational comedy before moving back home to the New York area. I still peform occasionally with my sketch comedy group Hottie$ Galore. I'm a HUGE baseball fan, but I don't have a favorite team ever since the Mets alienated me in the 1990s. I also love bowling, even though I don't get to do it as often as I'd like, and have four perfect 300 games under my belt.
Because Revolution is an awesome company to work for, and I believe as they do that every student should have access to an excellent SAT prep course. College was an immensely rewarding experience for me, and I know first-hand how conquering the SAT can make a big difference in getting into a great one.

Woodstock Vermont
Princeton University '08
I grew up in a small town in Vermont and went to a public high school which didn't offer AP science classes. I spent my four years there working as hard as I could and taking advantage of every opportunity that was presented to me. I went to Princeton University as an undergraduate and majored in Astrophysical Sciences. I am currently enrolled at Princeton University doing a one year program to earn a degree in Teacher Preparation and becoming certified to teach high school math and physics.
I played a range of sports in high school from soccer to swimming but my preferred extra curricular activity throughout high school and college was theater. While at Princeton, I helped found a theater troupe which performs shows and runs workshops for children. I have a seventeen year old sister who is one of the sassiest most ridiculous people I have ever met yet with whom I am extremely close and often help with homework and studying. I am an outgoing, fun yet grounded and responsible person who loves teaching, especially teenagers as crazy as that may sound.
I teach for Revolution Prep because I believe that every student deserves a chance to go to college and advance their knowledge of the world they live in by studying subjects of their choosing. Standardized tests are designed to be tricky, not hard and I believe every student can improve their scores through a little bit of study and hard work.
Rockland County, NY
Emerson College
I spend most of my time watching You Tube videos of cats falling off desks, but am also a huge fan of stand-up comedy and kayaking and letting my laundry pile up for months. I love reading and aphorisms and writing humorous essays. I constantly stop people on the sidewalk to ask if I can pet their dogs. My favorite high school subjects were Biology and English, my favorite corporate mascot is that hopping swivel lamp at the beginning of Pixar movies, and my favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Because I love talking about subject/verb agreement and negative exponents and slipping them into routine conversations with adults at parties was becoming awkward.
Piscataway, NJ
American University '08; Tufts University '10
I'm currently a graduate student studying development economics and international trade. I'm also a tutor, mentor, big sister and entrepreneur. My interests include traveling, culture, blogging and enjoying life whenever possible!
Among all of the factors being considered by College Admissions officers when deciding whether to accept you or not, the SAT is by far the most controllable factor available. Because you can control how well you do -- by the amount of preparation and perseverance you put towards it -- the SAT can be a powerful tool in setting you up for getting into the school of your choice. I enjoy empowering students and helping them see how they can absolutely conquer the SAT and not let it conquer them.
