Learn more about how I put the science of learning into practice so skills stick, confidence grows, and results follow.
I actively read peer-reviewed research in cognitive psychology and education, then translate it into simple routines that actually stick: retrieval practice, spaced repetition, interleaving, worked examples → faded steps, and timely feedback to correct fast. In sessions, this looks like quick recall warm-ups, spiral reviews, mixed sets, and clear takeaways—so memory strengthens, confidence grows, and results follow.
I sit for multiple official SAT and ACT administrations each year to keep my prep aligned with reality: current question styles, section pacing, scoring nuances, calculator expectations, and proctoring conditions. I translate those first-hand insights into lessons, drills, and test-day checklists, so your practice mirrors what you’ll actually see.
Full-length, timed practice tests provide clean data on strengths, gaps, and pacing: far better than scattered homework. We start with a diagnostic and target-score plan, then cycle through realistic mocks and detailed reviews that track accuracy by topic, error type, and time per question. Those insights turn into focused drills, mini-goals, and clear next steps.
Sessions are hands-on, not passive. On Zoom, we co-work in real time with screen share and quick checks so students explain steps, try ideas, and get immediate feedback. We mark up passages and problem sets together, so students leave with clean, reviewable takeaways and organized PDFs after each session.
