ACT & SAT Preparation
“Energy and persistence conquer all things.”
– Benjamin Franklin

These two college admissions tests have never been more similar. Recent changes in the SAT have brought the structures of both tests closer than ever. There are, however, clear differences. I can provide insight into the fit of a particular test, given a student’s strengths, weaknesses, learning styles and timeline.
“By developing a personal relationship with students and their families I am able to tailor my very structured program to meet the individual needs of each student. I prepare students academically and mentally for the rigors of these tests. By the time they hear my “Game Day” speech, they are ready to go!”
