Services
At Your Examined Life, I specialize in high-impact, one-on-one tutoring that helps students master standardized tests. About 70% of my work is ACT preparation, 20% is focused on the SAT, and the remaining 10% includes AP exams and high school entrance exams.
Most of my tutoring is done in person—because there's no substitute for direct, face-to-face support. That said, I also work with students online across time zones and continents, making expert prep available wherever your family is located.
Everything I do begins with a free, no-obligation conversation—usually with a parent first, followed by a Zoom call with the student. This helps us build a plan that matches your student’s strengths, goals, and schedule.
Targeted Help:
Flexible, Pay-As-You-Go Sessions
Who it's for:
Students who need specific, short-term support to fix one section, master a tricky skill, or fine-tune strategy.
What it looks like:
If your student just needs to raise their English score by a couple of points, work on careless math mistakes, improve science timing, or reduce anxiety on test day—this is the right option. I offer session-by-session tutoring with no long-term commitment, focused on getting results quickly and efficiently.
Comprehensive Preparation:
10-Session One-on-One Package (prepaid)
Who it's for:
Students who are new to the ACT or SAT—or who need a more structured, complete plan to start feeling confident.
What it looks like:
Ten sessions allow me to introduce the full test structure, build essential strategies, and begin skill-building across all sections. This package includes:
A customized session plan based on student needs
Practice test review and breakdowns
Real-time progress tracking
Email and text check-ins between sessions
Optional parent updates to keep families in the loop
This is the most common starting point for families I work with—and often the beginning of even greater growth.
Small Group ACT/SAT Class:
10 Sessions, 10 Students Max (PREPAID)
Who it's for:
Families looking for expert test prep at a lower cost—ideal for motivated students who enjoy a group learning environment.
What it looks like:
My small group course runs for ten sessions and is capped at just ten students to ensure a focused, collaborative experience. I cover test structure, key strategies for every section, and provide real practice and accountability—just like I do with my private students.
SIGNATURE SCORE GUARANTEE
Who it's for:
Families ready to invest in a high-accountability, high-impact tutoring experience—with a guaranteed outcome.
What it looks like:
This is my most exclusive offering. I work with a small number of families each year to provide unlimited, individualized tutoring designed around one goal: your student’s success on the ACT or SAT. The program includes:
A diagnostic and planning phase
A custom learning plan tailored to your student’s needs
As many sessions as needed to reach the agreed-upon score
Full access to me throughout the process
Because of the time and attention this program requires, I only take on a limited number of students at this level.
