Frequently asked questions

Sessions happen on a video call with a shared digital whiteboard, so we both write and draw on the same page. Your student needs a computer or tablet, a working camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and paper and a pencil for practice problems. Sessions run 60 minutes TODO: confirm session length. After each session I email the parent written notes: what we covered, what went well, and what to practice before the next one.

I cover SAT and ACT preparation, PSAT preparation for students planning ahead, and college math courses: Calculus I to III, linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics. Most SAT/ACT students are in grades 9 to 12. TODO: confirm grade range and whether you teach reading and writing

Your student takes a full-length SAT or ACT practice test. A full SAT takes a little over two hours and a full ACT takes about three, plus breaks TODO: confirm test formats and delivery method. I score it and send you a report that shows results by section and by topic, so you can see where points are being lost and why. Then we have a 20-minute call, with the parent, to go over the results and talk through a plan. There is no obligation to continue.

No. Nobody can honestly promise a score, and I do not publish average increases. What I do commit to is a clear plan based on the diagnostic, regular practice between sessions, and written feedback after every session so you can see what is happening. If the plan is not working, I will tell you and change it.

Please give at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule a session. TODO: confirm your cancellation and refund policy

No. I do not record sessions unless a parent gives written consent. Maryland requires the consent of everyone on a call before it is recorded, and I follow that rule.

A parent or guardian can join any session with a minor, at any time. Sessions are online only and are scheduled through the parent, not directly with the student.
