Not sure which one?
Start with when the test is.
Timeline matters more than budget here. Here's how I'd think about it.
IfThe test is 4–8 weeks away
→
SprintNot enough runway for everything, so we skip foundations and go straight at the highest-leverage question types.
IfYou're prepping over the summer
→
Full ProgramSummer allows an intensive pace. Twelve sessions across about three months is enough to build the foundation, drill it, and peak on test day.
IfYou're prepping during the school year
→
School YearProgress is naturally slower alongside classes. Twenty sessions spread out means a lighter weekly load that fits around APs, sports, and everything else.
IfYou want to start without committing
→
MonthlyFour sessions at a time, month to month. Stay on it as long as it's working, or switch to a package whenever the timeline gets clearer.
Still not sure? That's what the free consult is for — tell me the test date and I'll tell you honestly which one fits.
Trial session
Want to try first? Start with a consult.
A full 60-minute 1-on-1 session with me — the same format as a regular session in any package — plus a week of practice resources for your student. We start with a free 20-minute consult so I know where your kid is standing before the session, and the trial isn't spent figuring that out.
$200
single 60-min session
Boot Camp
Need something more intensive?
Up to two sessions a day for up to seven days, built around one subject. The most common requests are a Reading Boot Camp or a Math Boot Camp.
- Best when the timeline is very short — the test is days away, not months.
- Or when the score won't budge after self-study or work with another tutoring company. A concentrated week usually finds what the slow approach missed.

Billing FAQ
A few quick answers.
How can I pay?
Card, Zelle, PayPal, or Apple Pay — whichever's easiest for you.
Can I book just one or two sessions?
Yes. Single sessions are $200 each — book one at a time, no commitment. The 12- and 20-session packages bring the rate down to $190, and every package adds the diagnostic, practice tests and parent check-ins, which is why most families move to a package once they know their timeline.
What if we need more than 20 sessions?
Custom packages above 20 sessions get 7.5% off when they run over a normal timeline. Compressed schedules are different — something like 20 sessions in two weeks is billed at the standard $200 per session, since packing that many sessions into a short window takes over my calendar. Just reach out and we'll build it around your student's timeline.
Do siblings get a discount?
Yes — 12.5% off the second sibling's program when both are active at the same time. Applied to whichever program is smaller.
Do you charge for the consult call?
No — the first 20-minute call is always free. I use it to understand your kid and figure out if we're a fit. If you decide not to book, no follow-up pressure.
