Pricing
One-on-one, 60-minute sessions — always with me, not someone a company assigns to your child. Every session is built around your child’s score report.
You already know what you’re getting
Every article on this site was written by me. If you’ve read my work on math strategy, English, or test prep in general, you already have a clear picture of how I think and how I teach. That’s not something any tutoring company can offer — when you book through Kaplan or Princeton Review, you get whoever they assign.

What every session includes
Score report review
The first session starts with your child's actual score report. We identify exactly where points are being lost before teaching anything.
Targeted content, not a generic curriculum
Sessions focus on what your child doesn't know, not a fixed syllabus. Time is never wasted reviewing material that's already solid.
Test strategy built around the format
The ACT rewards specific approaches to timing, question order, and elimination. These are taught alongside content, not as an afterthought.
Direct access to me between sessions
Questions that come up while your child is studying don't have to wait. I'm reachable by email between sessions.

A higher score pays for itself
Many merit scholarships have hard ACT score cutoffs. A 2–3 point improvement can mean the difference between $0 and $10,000+ in annual aid at schools with automatic merit grids. The full prep package at $1,275 is often a fraction of what a single point improvement unlocks in scholarship money. Read the scholarship guide →
