"Greetings!

I believe that the journey of test prep mastery allows students an incredible opportunity to become their best selves - laying the foundations for success in the years ahead. During this process, I help students become more efficient learners by practicing smarter-not-harder study habits and teaching them executive function skills such as time management, focus, and clarifying priorities.

This leads to higher grades, more free time for their interests, merit scholarships, and the energy to explore who they are becoming. I have a lot of fun with my students, but I also hold them accountable to the standard of what I know they can become. If they perform below this, I remind them of their greatness and don't let them settle for less than they can be.

With 6+ years of coaching and a decade of teaching, I use proven methods and empathy to meet students where they are. By connecting new knowledge to what they already know, they gradually master material and gain confidence. I offer a free 15-minute consultation.

First Session & Plan: Like a doctor’s exam, I observe each SAT section while you think aloud. I note strengths, weaknesses, and strategies. Then we target any weak points in strategy or content, assign focused homework, and measure progress with a real SAT.

My Academic Background: I score in the 99th percentile in reading/writing and 97th in math. I graduated cum laude in anthropology, with minors in environmental science and Asian studies, and excelled in organic chemistry. Over the last decade, I’ve mentored youth in leadership and growth.

I’m committed to your success and will go the extra mile. I look forward to helping you feel confident, competent, and excited about what’s next.

Sincerely, -Thomas" less...
