NEW!
ACT/SAT Remote Prep
My test prep packages are now all remote! One-on-one Zoom calls with screen-sharing allows me to show students how to solve math problems, annotate reading passages, fix grammar issues, and more. Students can also screen-share and write on a virtual whiteboard.

Test-Anxiety Coaching
For many students, knowing test-taking strategies and test content are not enough. Current brain research helps us understand what exactly happens inside our heads when we are derailed by stress levels and test anxiety. As part of a more holistic approach to test preparation, I use my training in MBSR for teens (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) to help students learn how to calm their minds so they can better focus and retrieve information. Many of these techniques will be naturally incorporated into our sessions, but if a student's test anxiety is severe, adding on extra sessions will help.
Reading Comprehension Support
For students with dyslexia, processing speed issues or other reading-related challenges. We can add on extra sessions as needed for more practice with how to identify main idea, annotate the text, interpret the multiple-choice questions and more.
Math Support
Many students need a little extra help with math, whether because they are missing some foundational problem-solving skills or because they have come to perceive themselves as "bad" at math (which is most likely not true!)
College Essays
Get support brainstorming for your Common App or other college essays. Tap into the story that reveals important truths about your philosophy, beliefs, and passions. Learn how to put your ideas and words together concisely and correctly. Show schools why they should want you in their student body.
Cost: $85 for Zoom meetings Much of our work will be done via email and Google Docs ($1 per minute of my editing/feedback time-- usually 15-30 minutes per feedback.)
