Tutoring

More than thirty years of insight. One student at a time.

More than thirty years of studying, teaching, and taking standardized tests produces a particular kind of insight into how they work and what actually moves scores. I work with a small number of students each year, most through referrals, to apply that directly.

The Approach

Knowledge. Recognition. Execution.

Thousands of students. More than a dozen tests. More than thirty years improving knowledge, strategy, and performance under pressure.

01

Build Knowledge Through Instruction

Every test has a defined scope: content, rules, and question types it uses repeatedly. Sessions focus on the student, not the test. By targeting the areas a student needs to improve, each session bridges the gap between what the test measures and what the student knows.

02

Learn to Recognize Patterns

Standardized tests reward pattern recognition, decision-making, and strategy under pressure. Students learn how to approach question types efficiently and make decisions that improve accuracy and timing.

03

Improve Execution Through Practice and Review

Accuracy under time pressure is a skill. Timed sections, pacing work, and detailed review build consistency under pressure. That is what shows up on test day.

Test Preparation

What effective prep looks like

Most students do not simply have a content problem. They struggle with recognition, pacing, consistency, decision-making, or performance under pressure. Effective prep starts by identifying what is limiting performance.

  • Practice between sessions matters more than sessions themselves
  • Mistakes are reviewed for patterns, not just correctness
  • Timing and decision-making are trained directly, not assumed
  • Improvement comes from repetition under realistic conditions
  • Short, focused cycles outperform long, unfocused prep

Who's this best for?

  • Students who know a higher score could open doors to schools, scholarships, or programs
  • Students looking for strategic preparation rather than generic test prep
  • Students willing to practice consistently between sessions
  • Focused, self-starters in need of expertise and instruction

The rate is $400/hour. This reflects more than thirty years inside test prep and education systems, working directly with students and studying what actually changes outcomes.

Students from programs like MLT, PhD Project, and A Better Chance should ask about reduced pricing.

Students looking for a different price point can work with instructors I've trained through Bell Curves.
