The structured programmes

Weekly tutoring is open-ended and works. These are the ones with a start, a finish, and something specific you can do at the end of them.

All levels12 weeks · one 90-minute session a weekNew cohorts monthly

SAT / ACT · the twelve-week plan

A diagnostic in week one sets the plan, then twelve weeks of targeted work with two full timed practice tests and a review of every wrong answer.

  • Assignment breakdown: big thing into first small step

  • The prerequisite topics for next year, closed
  • A short readiness check in the last week
Portrait of the tutor

A teacher first, a tutor second.

Ten years teaching high-school math and sciences before tutoring full-time. That matters: I've seen every way a topic can fail to land, and I don't blame the student for any of them. Sessions are calm, structured, and honest — including honest with parents about what's working.

  • M.Ed. · credentialed classroom teacher
  • Quarterly written progress reports with grade tracking
  • Same tutor every session — no rotating bench

How tutoring starts

Three steps from "we should get help" to a weekly rhythm that works.

  1. The consult

    Thirty free minutes with you and your student. What's the class, where does it hurt, what has been tried.

  2. Diagnostic + plan

    A short diagnostic in session one, then a written plan with measurable goals you'll see progress against.

  3. The weekly rhythm

    Same day, same time, same tutor. Quarterly reports tell you honestly whether it's working.

My daughter went from a C to an A- in algebra in six weeks. More importantly, she stopped dreading homework.

Common questions

In-person or online?+

Both. In-person within the metro area; online over video with a shared whiteboard for everyone else. Results track the same either way.

What's your background?+

An M.Ed. plus ten years of classroom teaching in high-school maths and sciences, and a full teaching credential. Tutoring privately since 2019.

How do I know if it's working?+

Quarterly progress reports and grade tracking against goals we set at the start. If it isn't working, the report says so and we change the plan.

What if the standard rate is out of reach?+

Sliding-scale spots are reserved for families who need them. Mention it at the consult — no questions, no judgement.

Do parents sit in?+

For the first session, if the student wants that. After it, usually not — most students say more when a parent is not in the room, and the written report tells you everything anyway.

My child says they do not need help.+

Common, and often half true. The consult is thirty free minutes with them in the room rather than about them, which is usually where the resistance goes.

Will you do their homework with them?+

Not for them. We use their real assignments as the material, because that is what is in front of them — but the point is that next week they can do it without me.

What about a diagnosed learning difference?+

Welcome, and please say so at the consult with any report you have. I teach to accommodations rather than around them, and I will tell you honestly if a specialist would serve you better than I would.

One good semester changes the story.

The consult is free, and honest — including "you don't need me" when that's true.
