Online ACT® Tutoring

The only data-driven program, backed by experience

Hi - my name's Alex. I founded my business in 2017 because I thought that test prep could be a lot more efficient for families and students. My curriculum is designed to minimize time and money spent, so you and your son/daughter can:

• Spend more time together before he or she goes off to college
• Achieve his/her goals to attend his/her dream college
• Build confidence by mastering a complex test

As far as I know, my curriculum is the only one built from the ACT's® published data.

Know Your Tutor, Know Your Score™

I started tutoring in 2016 after graduating NYU. After getting my CELTA from iHouse in London, I was living abroad in Istanbul, Turkey. I worked at TIPPS, a Turkish company offering ACT/SAT prep for high school students. I moved back home to the United States a year after college and soon found employment with Varsity Tutors. There, I quickly became one of the top ACT/SAT tutors in the country, even being used in their promotional material.

Within a year, I moved to Los Angeles. I began working for The Princeton Review as a tutor and in curriculum development. I also worked for Compass Education as an in-home ACT/SAT tutor. As a tutor at each of these companies, I always felt like not basing the curriculum off of the ACT's® own published data was a missed opportunity. So I founded my own company.

How sessions work

Before the Session

Before we start with ACT tutoring, we need to know exactly the points your son or daughter is missing. I do this by building a precision point map. This entails a few steps: 1) knowing your son or daughter's initial score, 2) understanding his/her goals, and then 3) mapping out the easiest path from start to finish. Once I have that information, I build the Precision Point Map™.

In Session

During the session, I teach only what your son or daughter doesn't know. Many tutors have students do practice problem after practice problem. I don't do that. It's incredibly inefficient when we could just study the things your son or daughter doesn't know, and then be done.

After Session

After each session, the student will do homework, including test corrections. These are explanations about why the student got a specific question wrong. Your son or daughter won't know why he or she got every single question wrong - but that's not true for most questions. And rather than waste additional time in session, I'd rather review the test corrections out-of-session, and only explain in session the questions the student couldn't get by him or herself, or that he or she did not explain adequately.

On Going Support

I also provide on-going support to the family. After every session, I email the parents session notes, so they know what's going on. I provide regular updates to ensure the student is signed up for the correct test, is prepared for the day of, and I have the entirety of my website set up for students to review content in between sessions.

Student results

Student A's gain came in two weeks and was reported by the student's parent in a Varsity Tutors review (January 2019). Students B and C are from my own practice. Names are withheld to protect students' privacy. These are individual results, not typical ones; outcomes vary by student, starting point, and effort.
