I’ve also launched companies, consulted with universities, and advised politicians about testing. I have developed dozens of preparation programs for more than ten different high-stakes tests, trained hundreds of instructors, successfully tutored thousands of students. Most importantly, I have spent decades learning about tests from every angle possible and helping thousands helping thousands of students achieve success on every standardized test from the APGAR to the LSAT.

30+ years. 10+ tests. Thousands of students.

How Tutoring Works

My approach to tutoring is to address all knowledge, familiarity, and strategy deficits through focused instruction delivered in highly efficient lessons. Each lesson is followed by detailed homework assignments to provide efficient and targeted practice.

How I improve scores:

  • Build Foundation
  • Apply Strategy
  • Practice with Purpose
  • Review and Refine

The ideal way to structure effective prep:

  • Start at least 3 months in advance
  • Weekly 90-min sessions
  • 2–4 hours of weekly homework
  • Complete between 15 and 20 total hours of tutoring
