150 points in less than 2 months
Alex helped my son Adiv improve his SAT score from 1210 to 1360 in just 8 weeks, leading to acceptance at University of Washington, University of Pittsburgh, San Diego State University, and University of Arizona with a $32,000 scholarship offer. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Adiv has ADHD and accomplished these results without testing accommodations.
As my son Adiv entered his senior year in Washington DC, he somewhat suddenly decided to try to improve his SAT score. There wasn't much time, but he was determined. When they started working together in September 2024, Alex was focused and clear with Adiv on what he would need to do, and he communicated in a way that Adiv responded to immediately. The work Alex assigned was tailored specifically for Adiv's ADHD learning style, and Adiv understood immediately this was not busywork.
Alex's online tutoring format worked exceptionally well for our DC-area family. Adiv routinely changed plans with friends to make sure he could make their virtual meetings. Alex's approach of drilling down into the specific areas where improvement is possible gave Adiv confidence as he moved toward his November 8th test date. His methodology for working with ADHD students without requiring testing accommodations was unlike any SAT prep we had encountered before.
Although I knew Adiv could improve, the result of 150 points in less than 2 months was way beyond what we imagined. Alex's method is one we believe in, and we would highly recommend him to any student, especially those with learning differences who want to succeed without accommodations.
Adiv was admitted to multiple schools and will be attending the University of Washington in the Fall - his top choice and a remarkable result. The SAT preparation work Adiv did with Alex undoubtedly played a strong role in his successful college application process.
Results: University of Washington (top choice), University of Pittsburgh, San Diego State University, and University of Arizona ($32,000 scholarship)
