Sandra brings over seven years of professional experience to the tutoring table.
Originally from Tampa, Florida, Sandra attended Wilson Middle School and Plant

natural teaching ability. She tutored several fellow classmates in high school,
and also worked closely with the math competition teams as a coach and
participant. Sandra attended Rice University in Houston, Texas to pursue her
Bachelors degree in Psychology (with several math and business classes on the
side!) and completed a Masters in Human Resource Management as well. She spent
three years working at Advantage Testing of Houston, Inc., where she received
professional training on the best practices of tutoring and gained a solid
understanding of the structure, test strategies, and subject matter covered on
the PSAT, SAT and ACT.
