About
ABOUT ME: I am the founder of ConnectPrep and an award winning Thumbtack educator. I take a modern, strategy based approach to tutoring that helps students understand what they are learning, build confidence, and see measurable results. I work with students across K to 12 and college, including AP and IB, and I specialize in test prep and academic skill building. TUTORING AND TEST PREP: I offer one on one tutoring and test prep in all core subjects and most electives, plus AP and IB support. Test prep includes SAT, ACT, PSAT, ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT, TACHS, and SAT Subject Tests. My goal is to simplify complex material, connect concepts, and teach students how to think through questions efficiently. Many of my students reach top score percentiles on standardized tests because we focus on both content and strategy. SCHOOL AND COLLEGE SUPPORT: Overwhelmed with schoolwork or falling behind in a class. I can help quickly. Sessions are scheduled around your availability and tailored to your learning style. I work with both public and private school curricula and support students who need structure, accountability, and clear next steps. LEARNING CHALLENGES AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTION: I have extensive experience supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, CAPD, and executive function challenges. We focus on organization, planning, study systems, and confidence, along with the academic content itself. The goal is sustainable independence, not short term fixes. COLLEGE ADVISING: ConnectPrep supports students through the full college process. Building a strong college list, activities and internships, athletic recruiting support, resumes, essays, interview prep, application strategy for ED, EA, REA, RD, and transfer, and financial aid and scholarship planning. I prioritize fit and outcomes. Academics, culture, programs, and long term goals. Students I have supported have been admitted to highly competitive universities and specialized programs including direct medical, engineering, business, and fine arts tracks, with many earning significant merit aid and strong financial aid packages. GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL ADVISING: We also support graduate, medical, law, and other professional school applicants. We help students craft a clear narrative, build a competitive profile, write standout personal statements and essays, strengthen CVs, choose recommenders, and prepare for interviews. We also provide test prep support for exams such as the MCAT, LSAT, GRE, and GMAT. Teaching is what I love. I take pride in helping students break through plateaus, feel confident, and achieve goals that once felt out of reach.

ConnectPrep services for both standard test prep and college admissions counseling were both fantastic. My ACT rose by more than 5 points due to Mr.Fine’s guidance and preparation. For my college essays, the critiques that I received were all well thought out and knowledgeable. Mr.Fine’s expertise in the process helped me get into schools such as Dartmouth, Rice, WashU, Vanderbilt, and more. I would highly recommend ConnectPrep’s services.

I started test prep with Jeremy during my junior year. He was extremely helpful, as he helped me raise my ACT score by 6 points. He kept me motivated, calm, and organized. He also helped me with the college admissions process. I was accepted to all of my top colleges. I highly recommend Jeremy for any student looking for test prep and college counseling.

ConnectPrep provided us with plan and instructions on how to prepare in order for my son to achieve success on his SAT. He has reached a 1520 so far, about 300 points from Start. Jeremy and his team provided individualized instruction personalized to my son. I highly recommend ConnectPrep to anyone needing SAT tutoring. We are also working with college prep sessions with Jeremy. His guidance has been super informative and encouraging.

We are very happy with the service provided by Jeremy from ConnectPrep. Preparing for college is the most complicated process I have ever experienced. Parents can get carried away and shift the burden on their kids, which ends up creating a toxic environment for the entire family. Jeremy has been able to pull us away from these pitfalls and focus on what's the right thing for my child. He really focuses on community service, as well as steady and slow growth, which will create a memorable and positive high school experience for my child. Teaching life skills, growth, accountability, working hard, having fun, and giving back are the keys to our strategy. We are also working with Wendy who is helping my younger daughter with a reading and writing program. My daughter is much more motivated and really enjoys her lessons with Wendy. She is improving her reading skills, comprehension, and becoming a more confident writer. We are very pleased with the services we are receiving from ConnectPrep.
