One-on-one SAT & ACT mentorship, online
I wasn't born a good test-taker. I learned it, and I'll teach it to you.
Some tutors were naturally good test-takers; they scored in the 99th percentile the first time. I, on the other hand, had to learn how to go from a decent score to a great score. Now I can teach you how to get there.
Every student who has sat an official test with me has beaten their baseline. Average gain, +225 on the SAT scale.
Look up.
Know where you want to go: a score, a school, a version of yourself that can do hard things. On our first call, that's the whole conversation.
Climb up.
Build the skills, one deliberate rep at a time, until the test feels automatic. Two ups. That's the whole method.
How it works
A diagnosis, a written plan, and a program with a beginning and an end.
No open-ended hourly tutoring. You'll know which test, what target, which dates, and what it costs before you commit to anything.
A free 20-minute call
You, your student, and me. I'll ask a lot of questions, then tell you honestly what I'd do in your shoes, including which test your student is built for.
Free. No decision required.
A diagnosis and a written plan
The program opens with a proctored practice test and a written plan: which test, a target score, the exact test dates, and the two or three skills worth the most points.
Included in the program.
A 12-week program
Twelve weekly two-hour sessions, three proctored practice tests with written reports, about three hours of homework a week, notes to you after every session, and a monthly parent call.
$150 an hour: $3,600 for 12 sessions, or $3,000 for a 10-session program. Scholarship waitlist →

*SAT and ACT students are averaged together using the official ACT/College Board concordance; practice scores are first attempts on official practice forms, and repeated tests are thrown out.
One seat is always reserved. I keep at least one student on my roster who can't afford my rate and give them the same mentorship at a price within their budget. Join the waitlist, or help me add a second seat.
