SAT & ACT Preparation

Overcome anxiety, carelessness, and other common pitfalls.
Get the edge you need

Make sure your gifts shine through with our personalized prep.

The SAT and ACT test multiple skills at once: content recall, process fluency,
inference, problem-solving, and yes, anxiety management.

We instill competence and confidence, and deliver life-changing results,
through detailed and expert analysis and correction of early mistakes.

Take the stress out of the test.

My partners and I take the sting out of prep by making a high score feel easy. It takes work, yes, but less than you expect.

Because with us, you’re doing the right work.

Parents: start by clicking Get Started at the top right corner of this page.

Students: please have these items at the ready:

  • A recent PSAT or SAT summary
  • Any recent practice tests you’ve attempted, with scratchwork
  • A list of ways you’ve prepared for either of these tests so far

Let us help you find your path.

Initial assessment and plan

Your PSAT or practice SAT will let me identify our first steps, and our standard and “reach” goals.

Comprehensive one-on-one tutoring

We pride ourselves on understanding what’s in the student’s way, rather than just on explaining the material well in several ways.

Perfectly convenient

Geography and tight schedules aren’t factors for us. We’ve made ourselves flat-out experts at delivering great value via video.
Let's do this

A bit more about our method...

Why work with us?
For success on this test, you need a difficult-to-achieve combination of skills: genuine content fluency, calculator expertise, pencil-and-paper expertise, analysis/close-reading skill, reliable pacing, self-monitoring, and emotion management. Whew! There’s too much there to admit a single recipe for success. What you need is expert help across all these domains. I start with a thorough assessment: What do you already know about the material? When do you like to study? Do you experience anxiety around tests? Are you attentive to detail? For how long can you concentrate without losing focus? What frustrates you most about particular problems?

You show me your preferred learning style, and then we teach you to use your natural strengths to excel.

When should you prepare?
We should start work eight to sixteen weeks before your chosen test date.

But planning that prep starts now.

Fill out the form below as soon as you can, so that I can help you set up and schedule the right prep plan.

The right prep is just one click away.
