“I thought I just wasn’t a good standardized test taker.”

“I came to Kevin frustrated that my standardized test scores were consistently way below where they should have been compared to my GPA. I felt stuck and honestly thought I just had to accept that I ‘wasn’t a good standardized test taker.’

After just a few sessions, I started seeing my results improve and I gained a new level of confidence. He helped me break through a barrier I never thought I could.”

If you’ve ever felt like that, you’re not alone. A lot of very strong students start here.

A student like you

One student I worked with was in almost the exact situation you might be in now.

He had strong grades and big goals, but his first major test scores were lower than he expected. After putting in weeks of work, getting those numbers back was discouraging. He wondered if he actually had what it took.

Here’s what changed:

• We switched him to the exam that fit him better.
• He took full timed practice tests, not just random questions.
• Every week, we went through his missed problems so he understood exactly what happened and why.
• He committed to consistency: early weekend practice, weekly sessions, no disappearing when scores weren’t perfect.

Over a few months, his confidence came back, his study habits improved across his advanced classes, and he earned the scores he needed to get into a highly selective, top‑10 university.

The biggest shift wasn’t a secret trick. It was learning how to show up on test day and actually perform at his real level.

What other students say

“Kevin was recommended to me by my college counselor when I realized I needed to get serious about the ACT.

The biggest thing I learned was that one of the hardest parts of testing is mental. Instead of just seeing what I got wrong and ‘trying harder next time,’ Kevin taught me to slow down and figure out why I was missing questions, then attack those reasons on purpose.

The best part of working with him was how methodical his approach was. He showed me exactly how to study, what to do with each practice test, and how to use my mistakes instead of just feeling bad about them. If you follow his system, the results speak for themselves.

I went from a 31 ACT with a 26 in math to a 36 overall with a 35 in math. Kevin’s methods work, period.”

“I worked with Kevin for ACT tutoring. The best thing about his tutoring is that he doesn’t just say, ‘This is wrong, here’s the right answer.’ He makes you think about why you got it wrong in the first place and what needs to change so you get it right next time.

That approach helped me understand how I was actually thinking through problems instead of just guessing and moving on. I started to see the patterns in my mistakes and fix the process I was using, not just the individual question.

It made the whole test feel a lot more in my control.”
