Meet Andrea, SAT Reading and Writing Instructor

Hello. My name is Andrea Thorpe and I LOVE teaching! I am a licensed teacher with thirty years of teaching experience. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a Master of Arts degree in Student Personnel Services. My teaching experience spans all grade levels, from kindergarten to twelve, and I currently work as a high school English teacher and guidance counselor.

Beyond the classroom, I am an avid reader and the author of two children’s biographies: The Story of Jackie Robinson and The Story of Katherine Johnson. The Story of Jackie Robinson has been recognized as an Amazon Teacher’s Pick.

As an educator, I am dedicated to staying abreast of the latest educational trends and advancements. This continuous research and reading ensure that my teaching approach remains current, effective, and tailored to the unique needs of students. 

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband and our three daughters. My favorite pastimes include thrifting for home decor, completing the New York Times’s daily puzzles, watching K-dramas, and cooking delicious meals.
