Teaching them to fish: Critical Thinking, Reading and Writing
I have a PhD in literature and experience teaching at the college level. My focus in tutoring is to get students to do ?critical? reading, which is to discover and understand the information and ideas in a piece of writing, and then to evaluate this information in order to carefully reflect and analyze the work.

Testimonials
Michael R. from Princeton, NJ Dr. Brunda really connected with my son, in preparing him for the SAT. She provided him with the strategies, skills and confidence that are needed to be successful on the SAT. We plan to utilize her in coaching our son with his college essays also. We found her to be well qualified and experienced. She turned out to be the right tutor for our son. Thank you Dr. Brunda!
Ahilya M. from Princeton Junction, NJ Brunda was great. She encourages the student to think about the best ways to express themselves. This process helped my daughter in writing her Admission essay. Thanks Brunda.
Jane B. from Hightstown, NJ I was so fortunate to find Brunda D. She was able to quickly identify where I was having challenges and help guide me through them. I never thought I could get through the writing assignment I had, but with her guidance I felt relieved and knew I could get through it. I received an "A" on the assignment and never would have if I didn't have her guidance. She was wonderful. I would highly recommend her.
Jung M. from Monroe Township, NJ I am a high school senior and under Dr. Brunda's instruction for four months, my SAT critical reading score improved from the low 600s to low 700s. From the very beginning, Dr. Brunda was very encouraging. She helped strengthen my critical reading/thinking, which is essential in everyday life. I recommend Dr. Brunda for any student who desires to improve his/her SAT critical reading score.
Vijay B. from Trenton, NJ Brunda has done a wonderful job with our daughter. My daughter has improved consistently and immensely in both the English and Reading sections of the ACT exam through Brunda's teaching style and instruction. Brunda's patient and didactic approach has allowed my daughter to grow as a critical thinker and writer, and we have seen her not only improve in her ACT exam by several points but more importantly flourish in her overall 'new' analytical approach and writing prowess to her school subjects! Brunda truly teaches your child how to fish, and her approach to teaching will benefit your child for life. We strongly recommend her as a teacher for both ACT English and Reading, and trust me she will change the way your child thinks.
