Who this is for

Students preparing for the digital SAT, the Enhanced ACT, or the PSAT/NMSQT who want real instruction on the verbal sections rather than a generic course.

What I focus on

• Reading and Writing, and English. Grammar rules, reading logic, and the question types, taught by someone who has taught this material for decades. On the new ACT, English is no longer the easy section, and that is squarely my lane.
• The current formats. The digital SAT in Bluebook, with its adaptive modules and short passages, and the Enhanced ACT, where Science is now optional and the test is shorter.
• Pacing and strategy. How to move through the modules, when to skip, and how to read under time. The mechanics that cost points even when a student knows the material.
• Real practice. We work from official practice and target your student's actual weak spots, not random worksheets.

A note on scope

I focus on the verbal sections: Reading and Writing on the SAT, English and Reading on the ACT. That is where thirty years of teaching English moves a score the most, and it is the half of the test hardest to raise without a real teacher. I do not coach the math sections. If your student needs math too, I will gladly point you to someone who does.
