Corey

What do you like most about tutoring?

I enjoy working with new students and figuring out what works best for them.

What subjects do you enjoy tutoring the most?

Anything English-related and test strategies. [As a member of our team, Corey has been tutoring the ISEE, SSAT, and SAT for more than five years.]

Why do you like working at Apt Tutoring?

We don’t subscribe to the one-size-fits-all template that many places do.

What did you major in at college, and what was your favorite class?

Corporate Communication Studies, but my favorite classes were actually the Japanese language classes I took. I got to not only learn some of the language but also a bit about the culture.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Spend time with my family, friends, and pets.
 
What’s your favorite book, song (or band), snack food?

Book: The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World

Artist: Taylor Swift

Snack: Hello Pandas

Tell us about a favorite vacation.

My favorite vacation would be the first time I went to Japan with my mom and climbed Mt. Fuji. 

If you could have a coffee with any person dead or alive, who would you choose, and why?

My maternal grandmother because I think she would be a very interesting person to meet. 

Are you a salty or sweet person? What is your favorite salty/sweet snack?

100% sweet. I love any chocolate snack like Take5 bars or sweets, like strawberry laces, in general.
