Our Process
The Right Process
should be one that builds something around the student to empower their unique capacities, bolster their futures, and give students skills that last far beyond our tutoring.
Before we begin, we start with a 1-on-1 conversation with the parent to understand your student’s academic profile, schedule, goals, and personality. This isn’t a sales pitch — it’s a genuine compatibility check. Because I only have so much time, I want to make sure the families I support are a strong match.
Once enrolled in lessons, we will conduct a proprietary analysis of your student’s practice test that goes far beyond correct vs. incorrect. We analyze timing, reasoning patterns, and cognitive tendencies to uncover hidden inefficiencies and core strengths.
Paired with a parent intake form, this ensures both student and family goals are aligned from day one.
No off-the-shelf curriculum here. Based on the diagnostic results, your student receives a fully customized test prep plan tailored to their:
| Bandwidth | Learning Style | Scheduling | Strengths |
| Goals | Habits | Existing Knowledge | Weaknesses |
Plans evolve as the student improves — because success is a moving target, and we aim to maximize the value of you and your student’s time without billing unnecessary hours.
Every session is 60 or 90 minutes of focused instruction with me over Zoom.
As a full-time SAT specialist with over 16,000 hours of test prep mastery and capable of adapting to any type of learning style or behavioral needs as a cognitive psychologist, parents get peace of mind knowing every minute is delivered by the same trusted expert.
As your student improves, our strategies evolve. With greater foundations come techniques and ways of thinking to solve problems not only quicker, but with greater critical thinking and speed. We optimize time allocation, escalate difficulty, and adjust pacing to ensure the student is not just prepared, but that you’re in the loop.
The parent is always welcome to review any progress metrics for their student, and the student is always welcome to reach out to me even outside of sessions if they need any quick help.
When it comes to homework, your student’s work is carefully curated. Any tutor can adopt a safe bet curriculum and drown students in homework, but it takes a level of nuance and insight to select the right work for the right student.
For most companies, this cuts into profit; but you can rest assured that every recommendation I say to you or your student has been finely thought out for your families benefit.
In the final stretch, we shift focus to stress inoculation, timing mastery, and mental conditioning. Simulated test days and mindfulness protocols help students stay sharp and calm — even under pressure.
Our Strategy
Cognitive Psychology is the field of learning how we as humans learn best.
From working in educational environments, this puts me into a unique advantage
where I guarantee I have more SAT Test Prep strategies to offer your student
than any tutor on the market; and can teach them more effectively.
We don’t throw everything at your student—we apply only the most effective techniques for their brain, time, and goals. Every plan is built for the individual, never mass-produced.
Before we ever teach a skill, we conduct a diagnostic that pinpoints not just what’s wrong, but why—and fix it at the cognitive level.
Students don’t just answer questions—they reflect on how they got them right or wrong. This builds long-term insight, self-correction skills, and independent test-day resilience.
For high-scoring students stuck at a plateau, we engineer breakthroughs by targeting hidden limitations and unlocking the next level of performance.
We don’t ignore anxiety—we rewire how the brain handles stress through proven strategies that increase confidence and reduce score volatility.
Your student will never run out of time again. We design a timing map tailored to their pace and strengths—ensuring they always know exactly where they should be in each section.
We engineer high-efficiency sessions so your student gets top-tier gains in the least amount of study time—perfect for busy schedules and optimal retention.
We teach a systematic method to preview, prioritize, and engage with test content—so your student spends time where it matters most.
In the final 1–2 minutes of each section, we train students to quickly verify their most error-prone question types—catching last-second mistakes others miss.
We track performance at the individual question level—so every error becomes a growth opportunity, and every improvement is intentional.
Your student will know exactly what kind of question they’re dealing with before they dive in—so they never waste time guessing how to approach it.
Students master how to quickly find the exact line of evidence the SAT expects—not just a ‘close-enough’ answer.
Students learn to accurately predict the answer before looking at the choices, reducing confusion and bypassing cleverly worded distractions.
Based on cutting-edge brain science, we teach students how to practice recalling, not just reviewing—because that’s how memory works on test day.
Wrong answers are often trickier than right ones. We break down how the SAT writes traps—so your student sees through them instantly.
Whether it’s plugging numbers or answer choices, we teach when and how to use this shortcut technique with precision for huge time savings.
We teach your student to filter real-world problems into fast math actions—turning complex scenarios into simple solvable forms.
We demystify the math by showing your student exactly how to reduce equations with minimal steps and maximum clarity.
We train your student to uncover what the SAT isn’t saying directly—a high-level skill essential for elite Reading scores and subtle tone-based questions.
