FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a brief consultation, generally lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour. Our initial goal is to get to know the student and family, which is crucial for understanding the student's unique needs. We'll go over the student's academic and testing history and identify and key strengths and weaknesses he/she has. From there, we provide a short diagnostic test for the student to take independently and then create a personalized tutoring plan!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My role as a mentor and teacher for students actually began back in 2008 when I was the captain of my high school debate team. I worked closely with our coach to develop our "novice" members and contributed to the foundation of one of the most successful debate teams in the state of Texas. When I enrolled at UCLA in 2010, I transitioned to working in the test prep industry and was amazed by the results that could be achieved when all aspects of the student-tutor relationship were properly engineered. I worked with a number of companies, big and small, and eventually started my own business here in Los Angeles.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The diversity I've encountered when working with students is truly amazing. Most of my students are normal, everyday kids who have a dream school that they'd love to attend but simply haven't had success in the past when it comes to standardized testing. I've also dealt with students of unique backgrounds, including numerous student athletes and the children of actors, CEOs, and even the son of a former NBA champion.
