"Phenomenal!"

With my scores of 1580 SAT and 35 ACT, and with my experience guiding students and families, I am uniquely well prepared to help you reach your goals. My students' average improvement is 3x that achieved by other providers.

Save time and money: students often reach out to me only after they have already tried other services. Preparing for the ACT and SAT can assure that you are fully prepared for the first-year college challenge.

By first understanding your current needs and objectives, I tailor instruction in content, strategies, and training so that you can reach your goals.

Here's what others say:
* Thank you for believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself.
* You are the one person I can thank for helping me win my $60,000 merit scholarship.
* I hadn’t even considered that I could go to a top school. Now I’m at Harvard, building the career I once thought was only a dream.

Your investment in test prep should yield measurable results. As your ACT / SAT tutor, I take my responsibility very seriously. I provide an initial evaluation and a subscription service to tailored resources, which are included in my fee. I arrive prepared for every session, and I provide a session summary afterwards to ensure visibility and mutual accountability. Homework may consist of tailored exercises, videos, and instructional materials so that you can leverage your time between lessons.

An experienced tutor and teacher, I have designed curricula for K-12, college, and professionals. I am also an experienced engineer and project manager. By applying engineering design principles to the challenge of college and test preparation, I am able to help you win your goals.

Life changing teaching partner

We had planned on having my daughter study for the ACTs this summer. But with everything going on my daughter's education, like many other's, has fallen behind. Lindsey isn't just tutoring her. She is helping her figure out where her holes are, how she learns best, putting together a plan and partnering with my daughter so she can catch up. Her style is energetic and positive. My daughter ends each session feeling stronger and more confident. I truly can't recommend Lindsey enough. The combination of her passion and excitement with her intelligence and teaching skills makes for a great learning experience.

Clear and Encouraging

Our freshman in High School is improving substantially in his physics course. He at the beginning of the year said it would be his toughest course. Because of the patience and skillful tutoring of Lindsey it has facilitated and environment where he can verify he is understanding and bridge any gaps in his conceptualizing and applying the proper information in physics. No child would willingly (unless they love school) want tutoring on Saturdays yet because of Lindsey’s great ability to bring the content to life and encourage a growth mindset and getting the reps in, our son is continuing to flourish in his course. It is without hesitation that I recommend Lindsey. Our son has been taught by his parents that the objective isn’t memorization and grades but mastery. Lindsey is equipped to equip students to succeed in their area of academia that they seek her out to assist them with. Keep up the great word Lindsey!

Lindsey is such a great tutor!

We love Lindsey. We started with advanced math for our 10 year old boy. But she did such a good job that we eventually asked her to also provide reading lessons and tutoring for our 13 year old daughter. She’s kind, knowledgeable and very generous with her time. Highly recommended!
