Amanda Nowotny
Amanda began working for The Princeton Review in 2006. After earning that first certification, she caught the TPR bug and has since trained in ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT CARS, ISEE, SSAT, and College Admissions Consulting. She is also qualified to tutor select SAT Subject Tests and AP exams. Additionally, Amanda trains new ACT instructors and has contributed to content development for our GMAT and AP Human Geography materials. While laid-back and irreverent, she challenges her students to achieve their highest potential and cherishes the notion that a better test score can actually change a student’s life. Qualifications: Master Trainer for ACT; Tutor for SAT, ACT, SSAT, AP/Subject Tests, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT
Jerry Dresner
Jerry has spent 21 years as a high school social studies teacher, specializing in AP U.S. History, AP Psychology, AP World History, and AP U.S. Government & Politics. Over the past 22 years he has prepared hundreds of students using TPR's proven methods. He teaches classes, is a tutor, and, for the past 16 years, has trained new teachers for TPR. . Jerry works well with students across the scoring spectrum, attributing his success to thorough knowledge of a wide spectrum of standardized tests and his ability to relate well to students whose pursuit of higher test scores is an important part of their lives, but not their entire lives. Jerry likes to tell his students that he's the one component of the college admissions process that will make their lives easier rather than complicating them.
Sara Kuperstein
Sara has been teaching and tutoring for the Princeton Review since 2012. She always excelled at taking standardized tests and was a National Merit Finalist in high school. Sara loves helping students conquer standardized tests and hates the idea of a hard-working student being denied admission due to a pointless exam. Her goal as a teacher and tutor is to provide each student with a plan for how to approach every type of question on the test so that the student feels confident and prepared when going in to take the test. In addition to teaching and tutoring, Sara also writes and edits for the Princeton Review’s books and online content.
