Scored a 34 on the ACT
400+ people coached for ACT
The ACT is fast becoming my favorite undergraduate entrance exam. Although I did not take it in high school, once I began tutoring the SAT for Kaplan, I was asked to try the ACT. I tested in and started cracking the code. After working with at least 400 clients on this exam, I've become familiar with its patterns, and I've tailored techniques to improve any student's experience with this test. Like the SAT, the ACT has recently been shortened, and the Science section is no longer required. As such, I believe this is the best time to take this test.

About Alex
I've been in love with standardized tests since I saw my first Scantron! I scored in the 95th percentile in high school and was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania. I studied Economics there. I also studied in London, at the LSE, and in LA, at LMU and USC, from where I where I hold my Economics Master's. Economics is the subject I teach most besides the 1000s of test prep clients I've tutored over the past 10 years, at my own shop, and with two LA boutiques, plus the mainstay Kaplan. I've mastered the ACT and SAT, as well as the GRE and the LSAT.
Why do I coach?
Whether you call it coaching or mentoring or even tutoring, the master-acolyte relationship is central to my life. I treat many of my personal relationships that way, using them as opportunities to become smarter and richer. I look to my parents as coaches, as well as former employers or bosses and friends as mentors. With the wealth of experience, 1000s of clients, 1000000s of hours, I will be able to instill the confidence that you seek while challenging you in order to reach your goal.
