about me

I've been teaching test prep for 15 years and developed a system that consistently guides students to demonstrable score improvements. I'll efficiently help you learn the material you might feel rusty with and teach you all the strategies you need. Nothing is left to chance.

I teach one-on- one or group classes. Group classes are a good option for those who want to save some money or work with someone they know. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions before getting started.

SAT: 175 + points

ACT: 4-6 points

GRE: 8 points

However, I’ve carefully honed an online program that is really effective for everyone and people really feel they’ve come away learning everything they needed. I’m confident that online teaching will work great for you: I won’t charge for my first session if you decide not to continue. 

I recommend it, but its not absolutely necessary to get started. A diagnostic test can help us objectively track your progress and gives us some initial intel on areas of strength and weakness. If you decide to take a diagnostic test, it should be from the test maker themselves:
